Im in the same boat. Ill be around 29ish when I get my AOS. But im hoping the priority date for filing the 485 gets current soon. Obama apparently split the priority dates in two last year, one for filing 485 and EAD and one for getting 485 approved. So I have hopes of the prority date for filing the 485 to get current next year (being optimistic here!). Once that happens we can get the better EAD without DACA!!
I dont resent it mainly becuz my parents tried their best in this messed up immigration system and theyve always supported me through all this. I know its not their fault especially since my parents went through the employment sponsorship route and had to go through several employers because they were horrible and the lawyers were bad. So its just my luck unfortunately and i missed my shot at being part of thier petition bcuz i aged out by a year. But soon our time will come. Even if our lives arent as easy going as a typical person in thier 20s, we should make the best of it.

By the time I adjust my status, my 20s will have been wasted, and I have so much catching up to do.
Do you guys ever resent your parents for getting documented before you? Because you can contribute way more than your parents can because you're younger, and you are presumably better educated.
