This isn't the Dream Act, this is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) The Dream Act provides us with a pathway to Citizenship, DACA doesn't. DACA and the work permit alone would not make it any easier or harder to adjust your status. If he entered with a VISA, he wouldn't need to go outside of the U.S. and he would be able to adjust his status without a problem. If entered EWI (crossed the border illegally) He would have to leave the U.S. unlesss they are covered under 245i, and would probably not be able to re-enter for 3/10 years. There was a case recently where someone who came EWI but had (Temporary Protected Status) TPS traveled outside of the United States with Advance Parole, then when they tried to adjust their status, that person didn't need to travel outside of the country anymore because they were let legally back into the country through Advance Parole. We still don't know for sure if Advance Parole is safe to use with DACA though. Read it here. http://musingsonimmi...ustment-of.html Don't take my word for it though. You should definitely get help from an immigration attorney when you guys are ready to file.

Those 4-6 months processing time will soon become a reality, if they haven't already.

I have been listening to different news stations throughout the day, and at the end when Obama was announced the winner, a lot of people were bringing up the subject of Immigration and Latino/Hispanic voters. What was said was that Republicans need to get together with the Democrats on the subject of Immigration. 71% of the Latino votes went to President Obama. I believe Republicans might look at this as a wake up call telling them that they can no longer put Latinos and Hispanics aside and that they need to change their position on Immigration. I believe that there is a good possibility for passage of the Dream Act/CIR. It will just come down to when Obama will bring it up and work with Republicans to get their votes because I believe Republicans will be more lenient about this subject.

G-1145 is filled out if you want to be notified by e-mail or text when the lockbox receives your application and routes it to a processing center. It will also include your Receipt Numbers for the I-821D and the I-765. Either way, you will get 2 receipts by mail with the same information.

When someone applies for an I-765, USCIS has up to 90 days to give a decision on that application. In our case, we don't qualify for a stand-alone I-765, we first need to be approved on the I-821D before we are eligible for an EAD (I-765) therefore, that 90 day processing time for the I-765 doesn't start until your I-821D is approved, which isn't for 4-6 months.

They'll just tell you that your case is in under review and that the expected processing time for the I-821D is 4-6 months and if you don't hear anything back by then, to give them a call again. Thread moved to Dream Act Questions & Answers.

You're going to need the EAD in hand in order to apply for a Social Security Card. You can't apply for an SSN with just DACA approval. http://www.ssa.gov/p...rred_action.pdf

I haven't seen an electoral map that doesn't have Obama in the lead and I'm sure he will get the rest of the votes needed to win, but you never know, some people will vote for their partie's candidate no matter what they say.

Doesn't make a difference in my opinion. I've seen people that filed their applications without a lawyer that are still waiting since August 17.

That might not be the case for everyone. These 2 people reported to have a credit score of over 700 on their new SSN. http://dreamact.info...ead.php?t=33992 Of course, if you start applying like crazy at every furniture, clothing store, department store you go to, your score will go down. You have to start slow and steady.

30 business days since Biometrics, and yes, there have been approvals from people with final orders of deportation. http://dreamact.info...ead.php?t=31553

Yes, I'm sure. There aren't any drug tests in this process.

Since Obama failed to pass the Dream act or CIR, we still need Obama as our President, we have no other choice. Back in 2008, during the elections he promised he would pass CIR during his first year as President. He didn't get it done and never really pushed for it. In fact, he went on to deport records amount of immigrants. He has said the same thing once again, that during his first year he will pass CIR, hopefully this time he keeps his promise. In the mean time, we would be safe under DACA, but if he doesn't push for CIR like he didn't do in his last 4 years, it would be a major let down. If Romney were to win, I'm not sure what would happen to the pending DACA applications. The way I see it, is that if Romney were to end DACA, USCIS would stop accepting DACA applications immediately, but would still process the ones that are pending.

Here is some information I found that tells you what some of the things are that your credit score is based on. 1. Payment history 35%- It's important that whatever bill you may have to PAY ON TIME. Even bills that you may pay every month doesn't always show on your credit until you don't pay and become delinquent and then they'll report you. At one point in time, rent, utilities, car insurance, cell phone bills, were not reported as items to build credit. But that's changed, thanks to PRBC. PRBC allows you to self enroll and report the payments I mentioned along with others as a way to establish credit. By enrolling and having your monthly payments verified for a fee and reported after a year, you could qualify, for a mortgage! 2. Amount owed vs. available credit 30%- It's important that when you have credit cards, you don't use all of your available credit. You should use no more than 30% of your combined available credit from all your credit cards. 3. Length of time establishing credit 15%- The older the accounts, of course the better. but since you just got your social security number normally that would be rather hard. I do however have an idea that would help you get some established credit 100% legally. If you have a close friend or family member with excellent credit, ask them to add you as an authorized user on one or two of their oldest credit cards in good standing. They can keep and destroy the card that would be in your name as this would only be for reporting purposes only. Ideally the type of account that would be established for 3 years or more, with a high credit limit, low balance(30% or < the available credit), and a perfect payment history. If you're able to do this, once you're added the activity from that account will reflect on your report giving your score a boost. 4. Types of credit established 10%- The scoring system's designed to where 3 revolving (credit cards) and 1 installement (car loan, mortgage, furniture, appliance loan) would make for a fairly balanced mix of credit. You shouldn't load up just on all credit cards. Mix the different types of credit up if you can. The easiest credit card to get would be a secured credit card. A way to think of this would be as building credit with a savings account, because that's pretty much how it works. You put a deposit upfront that's usuall tied to a savings account to get the same amount of the deposit in a line of credit. The deposit doesn't pay for anything your charge or the minimum payment you may pay each month, unless you become so delinquent and the account's charged off and they use that deposit to offset the cost. But if you're wanting to build excellent credit you're not wanting to let that happen. 2 advantages of secured cards are that you can control the credit line by adding to the deposit to increase it instead of having to request for approval for an increase and the deposit is gathering interest while you're building credit. As long as you make your payments on time keep the balance < 30%, usually after a year the deposit is no longer needed and refunded back, and either the card converts to a regular unsecured card, or a better card is offered. I posted a link to Orchard Bank, which is a good place to start out building credit. You may get approved for a regular one with a small limit, and if all else fails, they offer secured cards to start out with. 5. Inquiries and New accounts vs. Established accounts 10% Each time that you apply for credit, your score drops up to 5 points, and if you're approved for the account, it can take up to a year for your score to reflect that increase. Also you want to apply sparingly, as multiple inquires in a short period can be seen as a red-flag to lender which give them the impression that you're desperate for credit. By becoming an authorized user, that satisfies having an established account which will attract potential creditors to give you and extend credit.

You will have to wait until the letter arrives in the mail. They will specify what additional evidence they need want to see. If you and your 2 brothers all got RFEs, then you guys might have missed the same thing. Did you submit proof that you were living here in the U.S. for the full past 5 years? Proof that you were here on June 15, 2012? Proof that you are unlawfully present in the U.S.?

The following currently accept the EAD for DL/ID. Alabama California Colorado Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Minnesota Missouri Montana Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Oregon Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Washington Wisconsin Wyoming

Not true, and, you can't apply for a VISA anyways if you are here illegally with unlawful presence. The possibility of being denied is very slim.

Your question had already been answered before. http://forum.adreamact.com/topic/735-urine-test-at-biometricts-apppiontment/ Not true.

I doubt it matters. Approval notices are sent out usually the same day you are approved.

They're just saying what they remember from watching FOX news. You know they're clueless when they say Bush was a good president and that Romney is a Christian. I mean seriously? Romney states he is a Mormon is each of his freaking appearances. It's funny how they talk about the country being divided because of Obama when they themselves are stepping away from him because they think he is a Muslim, and they think that their religion dislikes homosexuals and is against abortion. They are the ones making the divisions.

I'm sure many people have, since that question wasn't very clear in the beginning until USCIS updated their FAQs.

Some people have gotten a 2 year ID/DL here in California. The DMV website states that if your Legal Presence document is valid for less than 5 years, you will be issued a limited ID/DL, so technically we are supposed to be getting a 2 year ID/DL. Those getting 5 year DLs are getting lucky since it isn't the case for everyone.

I estimate 10-12K at most.

I don't think so, but I liked his shirt.
