DreamersVoice 13 Posted May 3, 2013 Hey all. I've been a lurker since nov 2012. Just wanted to thank u all for contributing to this forum, espacially for those that read in silence. Just wanted to come out of lurk-mode and say how grateful I am for the guidance of this site. Many of us came to America not knowing what our lives would embark on because we came at such a young age. It sucks but I'm just grateful for a change in "status" (not legal status but being able to have an ID and work legally is still great) and I hope it gets better sooner than later. I applied for DACA Jan 29 2013 and received my Approval notice (April 29) and Work permit today (5/2). I really hope to one day travel abroad but I'm thankful for this first step. PATIENCE IS EVERYTHING WITH THIS PROCESS!!! I kinda forgot about it and randomly checked my status online to see a message saying my approved items are in the mail. I was shocked with happiness and received it the next day in the mail. God is great and his time will forever be the best time. Just in time for my new job!! Hope all of us get approved and get what you deserve. Please continue what you guys are doing on this site and your blessings will continue to pour in. Later guys... 6 kathy_200388, Alequiroz, erika020 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May sound really cliche but I am a stronggggg believer that God only gives us what we can handle. No man (or government) is bigger than him. Instead of worrying, have faith. I mailed my DACA, prayed on it, fasted (not eating to focus on prayer and faith), then left it alone. Checked my DACA status online 4 times in 3 months. That was all the energy I gave it... Nothing more because I have been living and waiting for 25 years so I knew I could continue that patience for a few more months. You can't allow this to break you. Good luck and try to stay busy... I read a lot so that also distracted me. Your time will come.... 3 kathy_200388, erika020 and lyssa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DreamersVoice 13 Posted May 3, 2013 Besides... Imagine all those ppl that are here that weren't even eligible to fill for DACA (age, no proof, convicted felony, etc)... So Be grateful that you were one of those that qualified! 3 erika020, lyssa and Fresita22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
