A friend's situation - Page 5

Based on the conference call they had, they said they would figure out those "special" cases.

I know of someone very close to me in that situation that got approved. Plus, if she gets rejected(DOUBT IT), she has nothing to lose but the fee.

shes will get RFE they WILL ask for evidence, they ask that guy for RFE, now if she has nothing how is shes going provide for it? If she has no criminal record, she should go for it though

I think she qualifies and should apply 100%. I have a similar case and read read and reread over the brief casual departure thing and emailed uscis about it. I asked what is the exact timeline that should be considered "brief"? but all they said is if the purpose of the travel fits the time or an innocent situation dictated the time you stayed there then that is good. In her case she could make a case that she left to get a new visa to return to the states: that's a casual departure and the time spent there is innocent because she might hav been waiting for a visa process.
She might not be the "traditional" brought without her knowledge but under guidelines she qualifies and her struggles are not diff from that of a dreamer today.

@pianowithoutfaith there u go again suggesting people will get rfe even though they havent applied yet. You wouldn't be happy if someone anticipated that on your case so please be respectful of others and stop. rfes are not fun and I know how panicky people get when they see that message on their cell phone. If you dont believe me go take a look at the rfe thread and u will see what I am talking about.

Post 10908 I asked him to post it here.
He was approved and only lived here half the year at age of 12 and entered at 16 and 4 months. It is worth a YOLO if she has the $$$ to spare and no criminal record.

interesting

I would YOLO it

When did all these grey areas appear in DACA all of a sudden? The rules are very clear, come before 16, not be older than 30, be here 5 straight years, and not leave the country. If they ease up on one rule, why can't they do it for other?

She willfully came here illegally at 17. A 17 year old is old enough to make these sorts of decisions - hell that is the age of consent in many states and 17 year olds are tried as adults for many crimes. The fact that she was here at the age of 14 (which in itself is at the edge) shouldn't matter.

I'm sure your friend is nice and all, but as long as there are people like myself and Jose Vargas who came here at a much younger age and stayed here this whole time, it's unjust to give people like your friend legal relief while leaving us out in the cold. Playing the "but she has a young child" card doesn't get far either. I could have had a kid too but I discovered scientific breakthroughs that prevent that sort of thing.

age 16, but before 6/15/07?"

"USCIS ANSWER:We still have to see how we will handle those special cases. We are looking to provide guidance soon on this issue."

What the hell was that person thinking when decided to Ask this question ?, Don't they notice they are putting hundreds of applications on the spot? Including mine !!!!

I came to the US at the age of 12 and lived here half of the year and the other half in El Salvador. (I had a tourist visa). My parents decided to fully stay in the US when I was 16 and 4 months after my father was threaten.

I am 23 yo and meet up all the requirements. when filling up my application I used my initial entrance for DACA and last entrance for I765.


Due to my "special case" Anxiety was killing me since I applied and even worst after that conference call. Today, I decided to call USCIS to ask about the status of my application.

The answer was that my application was received on sept 27. Also, the agent told me that they already received my bio-metric.

I asked what did she mean by "received your biometric?"

She said they already received my FBI background check.

Then she asked me if it was my first time calling?

I said yes

She told me that if by DEC 28(90 days period) I have not received and answer, I should submit a service request. That was the end of the call

EVEN THOUGH MY DEFERRED ACTION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED YET, AND 30MIN AFTER CALLING USCIS. MY I-765 WAS APPROVED AND MY EAD IS IN PRODUCTION.

AGAIN, I AM WORRY ABOUT MY I-821D WHICH STILL IN INITIAL REVIEW.

IF YOU HAVE A "SPECIAL CASE"(MAYORKAS) LIKE MINE, PLEASE SHARE IT. ANY ADVICE AND COMMENT WILL BE WELL TAKEN.

HERE IS MY TIMELINE. ILL KEEP YOU'LL UPDATE.

Can you tell us more about your story. You say you are 37 right? So, have you been here since the 80's?

Why do people think this? You are basically no different from people waiting in visas and what not (in line) and complaining about us. You really need to change your mentality or youre going to be a bitter bitter person always bitching at peoples givings. WHY HE GET THAT PROMOTION IVE BEEN WORKING HERE LONGER!! WHY SHE GET THOSE SPECIAL PRIVILEGES I WORKED HERE LONGER!!


You are not USCIS and they are the ones determining if its fair or not. You want to call USCIS and tell them how you feel about this? Go right ahead and let them know you think its unfair that people who don't qualify according to your eyes shouldn't qualify for them either.



That being said


well, that was her initial entry which is asked in the apps. Now for her last entry there is where the problem will arise because she has that 2 year gap but if she can prove that her parents wouldn't let her come here in those years or something explaining that gap good, she might have a chance. If she has no criminal record, and has money to spare I dont see why it isnt worth a shot.

Ah is that person. Make sense why he would think like that. A lot of my older friends who won't make the cut for a dream act also are anal about people who barely qualify applying and getting approve.
