Top 5 Things To Do While You Wait For Your DACA Approval

juansescalante:

Filed your Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) application for but have not heard back?

Don’t fret, you’re not alone.

  1. There hasn’t been as many applicants as originally expected.
  2. The process has been slower than expected.

If you find yourself waiting (S/O to the applicants who are being serviced out of Vermont), then here is a handy guide on what to do while you (patiently) await to hear back from USCIS:

FINALLY!!!

This morning I decided to check my DACA application online and I finally saw that I have been approved! Of course it would get approved on the day I didn’t check it, which was yesterday.  When I checked it today I really wasn’t even expecting it to have been approved just because every other time I checked it it was always at initial review.  So now I have to wait until I get the letter in the mail saying I was approved.  I’m so excited! it doesn’t feel any different right now but I know that once I get the actual work permit card and then get my social it’ll feel surreal because I’m so used to being undocumented and knowing that I now have legal papers it’ll feel different.  I hope that I can get at least a permit soon since I have to wait until I’m 19 to get my license which is fine since I’m in no rush due to the fact that I know I or my parents wouldn’t be able to afford a car right now or any time soon. I’m just really happy my time has come, for any of you guys that are still waiting, I know it sucks but your time will come too and hopefully when you least expect it!

I love all the support I get on here from you guys, I know you guys don’t know who I am but in all honesty you guys know me more than some of the people I know in real life because I actually tell you guys about my issues and problems.  I know I haven’t been posting as much as I used to a couple months ago but I plan on posting more often, even if it’s just little things.  I also know that I don’t follow all of the blogs that follow me and if you are reading this, it isn’t because I don’t want to follow you but because I want to keep my dashboard with immigration related posts, so I hope you guys understand and I want to thank you for the support whether you’ve been following me since day one or you recently started following me :) I love you guys!
