What do you mean by papers? What were you trying to do down there in Mexico? For immigration, once you turn 18 you start to accrue unlawful presence, that is why they aren't letting you back in. How long is your punishment?

Emergency? You need a VISA to enter into the United States.

They have to be in the U.S. to be able to apply, period. You can't apply from Mexico.

It sounds to me like you went back to Mexico to apply for a Visa, but of course you were denied because you have been living in the U.S. and you are now barred from entry for 3/10 years. If that is the case, that's the same thing that happened to the girl that went to Tijuana to try to get her visa and is now stuck over there. To be honest, I'm not sure if there is anything you can do about it. One of the requirements is to be present in the U.S. at the time of applying, and if you are stuck in Mexico, you won't be able to apply.

Since your EWI and don't have any proof that you were here until you turned 18, I'm not sure why they would think that you were here. You would have to submit some type of proof, as insufficient as it may seem, along with affidavits and hope that they use circumstantial evidence. They state that affidavits alone will not work. USCIS will not accept affidavits as proof of satisfying the following guidelines: You are currently in school, have graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, have obtained a general education development certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran from the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States; You were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012; You came to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday; You were under the age of 31 on June 15, 2012; and Your criminal history, if applicable. If the only evidence you submit to demonstrate you meet any of the above guidelines is an affidavit, USCIS will issue a Request for Evidence, indicating that you have not demonstrated that you meet these guidelines and that you must do so in order to demonstrate that you meet that guideline. Q2: Will USCIS consider circumstantial evidence that I have met certain guidelines? A2: Circumstantial evidence may be used to establish the following guidelines and factual showings if available documentary evidence is insufficient or lacking and shows that: You were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012; You came to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday; You satisfy the five year continuous residence requirement, as long as you present direct evidence of your continued residence in the United States for a portion of the required five-year period and the circumstantial evidence is used only to fill in gaps in the length of continuous residence demonstrated by the direct evidence; and Any travel outside the United States during the five years of required continuous presence was brief, casual, and innocent. However, USCIS will not accept circumstantial evidence as proof of any of the following guidelines to demonstrate that you: Were under the age of 31 on June 15, 2012; and Are currently in school, have graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, have obtained a General Education Development (GED) certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States.

First off, that website is calling it the Dream Act, that right there should be an indication that they have no idea what they're talking about. To answer your question, no it doesn't. The form itself has an expiration date of 2/28/2013, but that doesn't mean the program will end at that date. All it means is that the form will expire on that date and another one will be released with a new date.

The dreamers that are on the online forums only make up a small percentage of the total applicants, but out of those that are on the forums, I haven't seen anyone say they were denied.

I wouldn't send the whole packet, just the most important pages that contain your information.

What did you originally send for that year? I would send as many things as I could get that have my name, date and address if possible.

Your service center sent you a letter requesting that you make an infopass appointment? First time I've heard of that. Possible interview?

Well, the applicant would still have to leave the country to go to a Consulate and apply for a visa, but with the waiver, their unlawful presence time would be forgiven and they would no longer be at danger of being banned for the 3/10 years. You can read more about it on this website. http://www.asianjournal.com/immigration/atty-crispin-lozano/14741-can-those-who-entered-without-inspection-adjust-status.html

DACA will not help your husband during the process off adjusting his status as far as not having to leave the country. There are talks of a new waiver that would allow people who entered illegally to not have to leave the country, therefore not being in danger of being banned from entry for 3/10 years. Your best option is to wait until that waiver comes out.

Thanks

It's not really the amount of documentation you sent in, it's how strong the evidence is. Hopefully they are asking for something simple.

They are requesting more evidence from you Rockstar, it is a Request For Evidence (RFE) You're going to have to wait until the RFE notice arrives in the mail to see what evidence they are requesting.

I think it's too soon to tell how Advance Parole will work with DACA applicants. I for one wouldn't want to risk it because USCIS states on the instructions that even with Advance Parole, you can be denied entry into the U.S. if you have accrued Unlawful Presence, which most Dreamers have. Although, there have been two court rulings stating that a departure with Advance Parole doesn't count as a departure as far as triggering the 3/10 year ban. Of course, these rulings weren't with DACA applicants, but we will have to wait and see if USCIS changes it's guidelines.

I've heard several dreamers say they have traveled with their Passports. I've flown before, but that was when I was a minor and didn't have to show ID.

You can click on the link I posted and download it, then edit it. Or you can probably get one made at a notary public services.

They look like this. Basically a friend or family member writes one of these saying that they have known you for X amount of time and have known that you have been present in the U.S. http://www.mediafire.com/view/?j1573ii9ly6qx2r

Congrats

I would think every state test you with a written exam and a behind the wheel exam.

Nah. If you submitted documents covering what they are asking for, you can just resend them and maybe throw in a couple of affidavits from friends and family.

Send them all the documents you have for this year and throw in some affidavits if you can. Once you send in those documents, your case should be prioritized.

Request For Evidence, which is what they are sending you.

There's many people that have been approved from NSC, but there are also people that did their Biometrics on 9/13 and still haven't been approved. Don't worry too much about it. The USCIS process time is 4-6 months. It might not have taken that long in the beginning but they are starting to slow down.
