After two years
 

Our EADs supposably expire. So, what happens then?

I know that its possible to renew it, but I don't know at this point if its even guaranteed. I mean, do you just go or call in and ask for an extension on your permit or do you have to resubmit the same evidence plus more to get it?

Also, to most people, two years isn't really enough to finish college/university or obtain enough work experience in order to advance to a better job. To me, it seems like a dick move to just give you a taste of life and then take it away after certain time. Afterwards, returning to your old ways before you had "semi-legality".

I'm speaking out of concern here and I'm sure I'm missing something. Does anyone else share similar worries?

Just life dude. Do as much as you can the next two years, and do your part to get CIR/DREAM passed this year. It is not just complaining about politicians. Do your part too. Make some calls, go to meetings, write some letters.

Re: After two years
 

This, and as for evidence your EAD and Legal Presence is enough because you're officially recognized by the government.

Re: After two years
 

2 years aren't much by at least you can drive now and travel without fear and all it costed you was 465 I would think with Obama now in office for sure the program will last long enough to happy for another 2 years.

Re: After two years
 

stop complaining, be glad you were able to qualify, and do as much as you can with what you've been given. Also do your part so DA/CIR pass before those 2 years are over and stay out of trouble.

Re: After two years
 

Yeah I've lots of people here complain about this. Some user even bitched why "forcing" us to do school or military for DA was lame. Feels like some of us have forgotten what the main objective of the dream act........

Re: After two years
 

yea and not just that but getting too anxious to know the renewal process. I understand the curiosity but we need to take a chill pill. Focus on the now on what we are able to do now. Enjoy our EAD/DACA status...haha XD

omg i've been wanting the DA to pass since I first heard of it because I want to get an education!!! I want to have a career and be financially stable.

Re: After two years
 

Who said DACA force them to do anything? If you don't want to go to school, then don't. But then you don't qualify. Honestly, the things some people complain about is ridiculous.

In two years (rather sooner than that so you have no problems at your job), you'll have to renew DACA. I don't think anyone that gets approved this time around won't be able to renew it. Maybe the kids that are stupid enough not to finish a GED or high school... Maybe

Re: After two years
 

Was it really complaints when all I thought I was just posting my concerns? Huh.

As for my time, I'll do what I can and just 'enjoy it while it lasts' like you say.

Re: After two years
 

I personally was referring to what other posters said OP

But to answer your concern, I doubt there will be trouble getting a chance at renewal. If the government decides to suspend DACA for any reason, a lot of people will not be happy. The implications of not continuing the program will be disasterous to anyone that stops the program.

Re: After two years
 

yea when u really think about it, its really not as good as a green card.

Re: After two years
 

You don't think about it, it's obvious.

Re: After two years
 

Some of these topics recently should really get the ban hammer, it's getting ridiculous now, with all due respect to OP.

Re: After two years
 

Apologies. I didn't spend enough time here to realize this kind of discussion was considered taboo. No disrespect to anyone.

Re: After two years
 

It's not taboo, but can't you just enjoy your ead and go live and enjoy it and not worry about renewing the damn thing, I mean you JUST got it. Also it's been discussed before many times. Fuck Vermont.

Re: After two years
 

I had planned on it. Yeah.

Re: After two years
 

Not DACA DA aka Dream Act

here is the original comment

Re: After two years
 

Well, that kid needs to come up with better alternatives and advocate for them. I would be cool if they allowed people with vocational school. But, some people want the community service provision back. That I say NO. Don't dumb people down. If you have a successful business going than you know. Prove it. But, otherwise do something.

Re: After two years
 

Oh, I see. Still stand on my comment though. I don't think many people will have problems renewing DACA.

Re: After two years
 

Well, yes the two year thing, is fine, I'm positive Obama has our backs.

I'm really happy that we all actually have an ID, license, and a social. These things will def. stay with us for a long time (much longer than 2 years)

It was a pain, living without a social and ID. You have to count your blessings.

Re: After two years
 

bitchass mofos will always bitch, some of these youngass mofos don't know what we had to go through to survive post 9/11.

;)

Re: After two years
 

jk!!!

Re: After two years
 

They actually won't stay with us for much longer than two years. The SSN will only work as long as your EAD is valid and ID/license is only valid for 2 years depending on where you live. We can't get comfortable, gotta keep working for the dream act.

Re: After two years
 

Don't get us wrong OP that's something us DACA qualifying dreamers think about but I think we should use that energy to help get the DA/CIR to pass preferably by the end of this year. Like I said let's be glad we actually qualified for DACA because there's some that didn't and let's work with what we've been given sure a work permit might not be much but it's a lot more than what we used to have. :)

Re: After two years
 

+1 I don't have my approval yet. So many of us have been waiting for quite a long time. Appreciate your card. God knows if your employer will be willing to put in papers for you.

Re: After two years
 

send in the renewal form holy crap you guys are weird. ... you just sent in 6 months before your EAD expires a renewal form and this can continue on for ages.

Re: After two years
 

I'm pretty sure the SSN is for life. Idk where you got the 2 years only thing from

Re: After two years
 

Sure they won't reuse the same SSN for a second person. But you can't use it two years later because a simple background check will yield an expired SSN.

BOOM. BOOM BOOM.

Re: After two years
 

Good thing SSN don't expire then, just your EAD. One of Uncle got a work permit with an SSN years ago. His EAD expire and he's using his SSN now

SSN are for life there is no expiration now whether your authorized to work that's a different thing


Boom boom boom

Re: After two years
 

I think all DACA dreamers have to focus on 3 things these two years:

• Trying to find a way to adjust your status as the system is now, if possible
• Fighting for the Dream Act and/or immigration reform
• Prepare for your DACA renewal and or DA/CIR. Do the best to keep a good moral standing, educate yourself, and keep out of trouble.

Think of the future people. Plan plan plan!
