Hey guys - a little late to the game in joining the dream act portal. I have been coming and reading posts for a long time but never commented or posted. I am happy to announce I got my approval yesterday but wanted to share my timeline for all of you that are still waiting!

Application received by USCIS: April 22, 2013
Biometrics : May 28, 2013
Approval: August 19, 2013

I had put my package together on my own but felt more comfortable having a lawyer sign off on everything so I ended up sending it all thru her.

A little background info on me: came to the US when I was 4 as a dependent on parents visa. Went thru two H1-B dependent terms and because of terrible lawyer advice switched to TN dependent, renewed every year since until I aged out at 21. Married a non-citizen who is here on a visa so cannot adjust thru marriage. Hopeful something gets figured out with immigration reform and for us dreamers!
