[REPutation 83]

This is to help you in your journey with DACA. A general synapsis of your transition from the beginning to the end. Also other helpful forums are included.

1. I-821D, I-765, and I-765WS are the three forms to submit along with the initial evidents documents. Some may or may not have used lawyers.

2. Personal check or money order for $465 made payable to “US Department of Homeland Security”

3. Then you should receive the physical receipts of the same notification (if you did not send form G1145 then this will be your first notification of your case), I-797C for both I-821D and I-765.

4. USCIS will now request for your biometrics. So a set date of your appointment will be on this letter. Some have or may not have done a walk-in

5. Then you will receive a text or EMAIL saying that either you were approved or RFE (Do not worry-send in the extra evidence to USCIS). Notice your case status will also be changed. A letter of approval will arrive with your EAD. Some have reported getting them a couple of days apart.

• Owning a car
  
• And much much more! Stability.
