romero509 4 Posted July 26, 2013 Did anyone keep working while waiting to get approved? Because i heard of some people quiting their jobs just to apply and wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamer3oh3 40 Posted July 26, 2013 Don't quit your job man, bcuz you don't know how long it will take. BUT.... do quit after or tell your employer of your situation if you feel like they will be ok with it. Bcuz you could put them in danger for hiring an "illegal" 1 romero509 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dreamer3oh3 40 Posted July 26, 2013 Oh that's pretty cool. I had a job but then I got laid off and I've been searching and every single time they tell me I have to fill an I-9 so I pass on the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamerinnc 5 Posted July 26, 2013 Yeah that's true. I'm actually still working. I'm a firefighter. Thanx for replying. How can you work as a firefighter if your getting approved by DACA. And also that's a government job and even with DACA you can't hold a government job that requires you to be a citizen. Daca only gives us temporarily status not citizenship. But Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
romero509 4 Posted July 26, 2013 I'm actually a wildland firefighter. I work for a native american tribe. Maybe they have a diffrent way of enforcing laws or maybe i'm like those immigrants who joined the army. I did all my training and tests, and no i dont think you have to be a citizen for every gov job. And @dreamer3oh3- if you fill out the i-9 form and they hire u, you should be fine for afew months.

romero509 4 Posted July 27, 2013 @dreamer3oh3- well i gotta make money some how. Better to work and save mother nature than to sit and wait. I do understand where ur coming from and i respect that. I have a lawyer, and i wouldnt do something that would prevent me from getting deferred action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamer3oh3 40 Posted July 27, 2013 Yea I wouldn't of quit until I got my permit but I got laid off and they didn't ask me to fill an I-9 but now at the places I've been applying they've asked me to fill one out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
