Eventually I just felt if it happens it happens, those of us with some criminal background or an arrest which might just be a minor misdemeanor have no one to blame but ourselves, if you think otherwise then that's your thing, Yes we all make mistakes but at the end we pay for them. Is there a thread about this? Just asking, as of 04/03/14(friday) I received my work permit in he mail, first thing next week I'm going to get my ss card and then to get my DL renewed, it just expired on January of this year and it's been driving me crazy. I really wish all of the other applicants get approved soon since it's an awesome feeling, now I can move on to better things, hopefully,

Honestly, I agree with those of us who have 'criminal records' dealing with the consequences of the alleged mistake, but making us wait a whole year? Is it some kind of extra punishment? Are they trying to make me become older (I'll be 30 next year) so that DACA doesn't apply somehow? Background checks do not take that long, or else, the backlog for the USCIS would be even worse than it is right now.
They have us hope, made us dream, and it's taking too long for it to happen, that's all. I've grown stressed and depressed, I haven't been able to sleep lately knowing that next week marks a when from when they received my application. I keep working, going to school, but nothing has changed. You got approved, I haven't. You'll be able to renew your DL, I've been driving with an expired one for FOUR years...I'm disappointed, that's it. I guess I finally figured it out.
