Edwin 11 Posted January 11, 2014 So i had my biometrics in nov of 2012, was sent out an RFE in May of 2013, and denied January 8th of 2014. I however was caught using a fake to work and consequently arrested for felony identity theft. We settled in court and was able to reduce it to a misdemeanor of forgery. Was a tough difficult case because i was caught right after i sent out the application. I had to get recommendation letters from priest that knew me, professors, and community people whom know of the work i have done since i was young at a non profit where i help kids stay away from gangs. I turned to my congressman to help me manuever through uscis and his aides said that there wouldn't be any problem and if there was then we would fight it. As you may imagine im completely devastated because on top of this my father lost his job yesterday and i dont know what coming my way, i have one more year left in school to receive my bachelors in Information Tech and if worse comes to worse my degree could be in jeopardy.

Armando5280 0 Posted January 14, 2014 You can not appeal the decision, but you can start a new process if you think it's worth the try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamMari2013 8 Posted January 15, 2014 Sorry to hear things aren't going well! But I agree with the above comments I think that you should re-apply! I wish you lots of LUCK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joanni 1 Posted January 17, 2014 Im speechless as far as i know using fake ssn should not be a problem if thats ur case, but lawyers have said that is better if u dont submit anything that shows number of ur fakies, the only thing that comes to my head is to find an organization where u live most of them are free and they might be able to help you good luck !!# keep update on ur case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin 11 Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks for the help guys. I got arrested for using fakes, actually didn't happen until after i sent out my application. I got stuck with a misdmeanor and according to the paper i received i got denied because of the "significant" misdemeanor. I'm going to meet up with my congressmans aide to see what can we do, i can sure reapply for it because maybe i got a strict officer, but maybe as for now i will not because it has stressed me out and im so close to finishing my bachelors. Will keep everybody updated. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stolenlacs 37 Posted January 20, 2014 Wow sorry to hear about your denial, hopefully you get help on your case, maybe even a lawyer who can also help you submit your case and next time around you can be approved. Best of luck to you and I hope you finally get what you've been waiting for. Good luck to you and your family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chio805 0 Posted March 1, 2014 I have the same misdemeanor as you do. I applied for DACA with the help of a lawyer. Apparently the lawyer said my misdemeanor was nothing serious. He gave me the hope and the courage to apply. Now that I'm reading this post I'm freaking out because I might get denied. Omg! I feel devastated, I'm in college pursuing a career and knowing that I might denied make me break down in tears. Still I don't get why they made you wait too long to process your case just to get a denial. As per lawyers, including mine they are unscrupulous, they don't care how much damage can cause to a person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theresa 63 Posted March 29, 2014 Now that is all settled and reduced to a misdemeanor and with the court results to prove it, I would try again. That's what I would do but then again, it is a personal decision. My guess is that your case was pending as a big charge while your background check was being processed and not knowing it was going to become a misdemeanor. Good Luck, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manny 2 Posted May 26, 2014 I'm really sorry to hear all that, man. As others have said, re-applying would probably be your only option. Definitely consider consulting with an attorney and your own research online, as well. I don't mean to get too personal, but how did you get caught using "fake?" There are a lot of people out there that rely on ID that is not their own just to work and provide for their families. Perhaps sharing your story might help prevent others from being in a similar situation. But only if you want to share. Stay optimistic and we're all hoping that you get your work permit soon. I also pray that your dad can find work and everything turns out well. Best wishes, man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
