JoseG 383 Posted April 16, 2013 So in other words if you are granted daca you atuomatically just have to wait for the five yrs to apply for a green card or would you have to go thru the process again ? I'm guessing we will have to fill out an application, and then we will be given a Provisional Legal Status, after 5 years, we can apply for Permanent Residence.

sanchez05 37 Posted April 16, 2013 Good News! I just hope they do pass the bill! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Santi 353 Posted April 17, 2013 Very interesting... Now, this is my personal query which perhaps covers the interests of some of us here as well: I plan to go to grad school in the near future (maybe 2 years). In order to do so, I need to take a standardized test, the GMAT (Business School), which is similar to the LSAT (Law School), MCAT (Med School). Assuming that the bill passes with flying colors, I wonder how this new 'Legal Status' will enable us to take those Tests, let alone attending universities for advanced degrees. As it stands, I guess the majority of us (excluding CA residents - correct me if I am wrong) won't be able to qualify for Financial Aid, or several other grants offered by the government, and will have to resort to private loans to finance our studies ($100k, @ LIBOR + 2% from a bank = a lot of money to repay at the end of ~2yrs). I wonder if under this new provision, we will be able to tap the Treasury's coffers to finance our studies, with a promise to repay in the future... I don't know, but I would really like to know this, meng! I gots to keep my Nerd On Brah! 1 roadrunner11 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner11 167 Posted April 17, 2013 I cannot wait for them to release the entire proposal and more than anything pass the bill @Santi- It would be so amazing if they would let us dreamers finance our grad school education with subsidized loans. I hope they realize how hard we are willing to work and succeed 3 pswa83, Santi and itzel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only because of the invaluable information and assistance provided by all of us, but also because we get to help other people... We will continue our efforts when CIR goes through! 1 Gezinha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mary21 13 Posted April 17, 2013 I have a question do us daca approved have to send all the prove we sent when we applied for daca??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osha 126 Posted April 17, 2013 I have a question do us daca approved have to send all the prove we sent when we applied for daca??? Unlikely!, we would probably fill out a form for the RPI and possibly pay a fee (we don't know yet if there will be a penalty or a fee for Dreamers). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted April 17, 2013 I have a question do us daca approved have to send all the prove we sent when we applied for daca??? no, we will more then likely send a copy of our DACA approal letter and our EAD. but not all the evidence we sent with the DACA application. 1 sanchez05 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gezinha 121 Posted April 17, 2013 If this takes over 2 years to pass, and our cards expire, do we get approved for DACA again? Is there an expiration date on DACA? Will is cease to exist if this bill is implemented? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted April 17, 2013 dont think it's going to take 2 yrs to pass. 1 Gezinha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gezinha 121 Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah Im still having a hard time understanding what they means when they say they have to secure the border before they let anyone apply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Santi 353 Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah Im still having a hard time understanding what they means when they say they have to secure the border before they let anyone apply. They want to put some metrics in place regarding border security... If those metrics are met, I guess that is a green light for undocumented immigrants - maybe the situation will be a little different for us, since we are already part of a process... Let us just wait and see... 2 pswa83 and Gezinha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted April 17, 2013 bascially it means that IF and WHEN they THINK the border is "secure" then people can apply for residency. if, correct, DACA applicants will not have to wait the 10 years in order to apply for PR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gezinha 121 Posted April 17, 2013 yeah IF, WHEN, THINK is what scares me a little bit. Do you think it could be more than a year? I am so afraid that anytime my husband could be stopped driving and get deported, urgh, I just can't stand this feeling of having received DACA and having this, and it is too good to be true and something will happen to him. Oh my, I am so negative, I cant' help it. lol It will pass, I know it! And in less than 20 months, maybe all of us will be visiting our families in our countries! 2 Osha and chris_oswaldo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
