Re: DACA to AOS

I'll be in the c(9) category too, through my wife who is a USC.

10 months seem very long, did you have any RFE's and such? Mine became ready to be scheduled right after biometrics.

Re: DACA to AOS

It seems like the I-765 processing time at NBC is around 5 months! Much longer than I anticipated.

Re: DACA to AOS

The I-131 fee is also $535 not $575.

And also just for FYI for everyone, the medical exam I-693 changed some rules in the past few months. It now has to be done within 60 days of submission, and...

Personal update

Hi guys, I've been using this forum since 2011, and I'll probably won't use it for much longer but just wanted to tell my story.

I came in the U.S. when I was 11 under H4 (my mom was H1b), and...

Re: So Real ID is a thing in 2 years...

EAD from DACA is a valid ID for real ID. I read the actual bill that implemented realID.

Re: Should I get a lawyer for AOS?

My lawyer will attend the first interview. It's an insurance to make sure basically there is 0% chance it'll get rejected.

Re: Official I-601A Thread

How good is your lawyer? Like has she appeared in front of judges to argue for her clients, etc?

It might be worth getting second opinions from other lawyers who might be more willing to really...

Re: Help! Can I upload my EAD copy via online by using my USCIS online account

You might want to call USCIS and ask. The worst case is that they send you a RFE, and you send them it, which would delay you application.

I doubt they'd outright reject your application...

Re: Should I get a lawyer for AOS?

I filled out all of my initial DACA app and the subsequent renewals by myself, including gathering evidence for the initial.

However, I'm going with a lawyer for AOS; it's the one last hurdle...

Re: Travel on a cruise

Not worth it. If there's an emergency, they'll dock at the nearest port, which might mean Canada. Don't do it.

Re: DACA to AOS

That's great. I'm hiring a (very reliable) lawyer to file the paperwork, and they too said it shouldn't be a problem.

They also said if we have the big wedding before the interview, we can bring...

Re: DACA to AOS

AP doesn't exist for DACA anymore.



Just get a civil ceremony here and straighten out your status first, and then go have a 'real' wedding in Mexico.

Re: DACA to AOS

Hi guys, I recently got engaged to my long time USC girlfriend. I entered legally, and accrued 1.5 years of unlawful status before DACA.

We're planning a big wedding for next spring, but...

Re: Any Koreans here with DACA with Military Problem?

I mean you need someone that knows Korean law at least a bit. There are many Korean green card holders who also need to deal with the military service so I'd imagine the lawyers are prepped for that.

Re: REAL ID w/ DACA.

I renewed my California DL (the non-real ID one) online. It's still good for domestic travel until 2020, so I'll apply for the real ID closer to 2020.

Re: Any Koreans here with DACA with Military Problem?

I doubt anyone here can give you any concrete advice. Talk to a Korean immigration lawyer in your area, I'm sure they know the rules. But always double check what they're saying before submitting...

Re: DACA Denied????

We can't say much more without knowing all of the details.

Try contacting ACLU, they helped many people here in 2016 when the renewals were being delayed.

Re: DACA holder with stage 4 cancer needs to leave USA

It's a long shot, but contact his local senator/congress rep; they might be able to help.
