Hi everyone. I just applied for deferred action. My lawyer sent my papers just last week and I've now received a letter telling me that I have to do my biometrics in a couple of weeks. I am wondering after i do that, how long will it take for my application to be reviewed? I have missed out on a year of college already, so I don't want to miss another one, meaning I can't wait longer than 6 months or so. Does anyone have recent information on how long this process takes now? Also my papers were sent to the Nebraska office, if that means anything.

Also, is there anything I should start doing while I'm waiting for my application to be reviewed?
