EWI or No Lawful Status? Please help - Page 2

Maruuruguay:

I was referring to Question 15 for I-765 "Current Immigration Status" . I typed "Unlawful Status: DACA by ICE". I have not send the forms yet because I wanted to make sure I have everything correct. I reread the Instructions for I-765 and it seems that Question 15 should be left in blank. If I understand right, the sentence "Unlawful Status: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals by ICE" is only for those whom have been already informed by ICE of deferred action on their case and they need to file a stand-alone Form I-765.

In another thread someone mentioned that the people at the Univision hotline said to put "None". Hopefully someone else can help with this confusion. I'm hoping to mail the forms on Friday...

I'm wondering about question #14 of I-765, the one that asks about the "Manner of Entry"? It is just the same as "Status of Entry" in question #15 in I-821D?

Can anyone shed a light on this?

They said to put "none" but i'm still putting "unlawful status"

Thanks!!! That is what I'm goint to type.

Question 14 on I-765: Manner of Last Entry, could be the same as Question 15 on I-821D. That depends, for example, if you came with a B Visitor Visa and never left the US, then your last entry (Question 14 on I-765 would be Visitor.
If you came with no inspection EWI then Manner of Last Entry would be EWI. But if you came with a visa, left the country and reentry with no inspection then it would be different on Question 14 on I-765, and Question 15 in I-821D.

I hope it is not too confusing.

To all you putting "by ICE" the whole process was though of by DHS and is done by USCIS. You only go through ICE if you're currently sitting in immigration detention.

Yeah, actually it makes sense. Thanks for clarifying this for me

I'm in the same situation as the OP, but I have a record of my arrival (I-94) on the fraudulent passport (I was brought in pretending to be my Aunt's son). On i821-d question 16, how would I answer that if I came into the US if I'm going the EWI route?

What to do?
I'm trying to apply for deferred action, I meet all requirements, but I have the following question:
I entered the country with documents that are legal under the law. The documents are of a cousin that I have in Mexico who was registered at birth with two different set of parents. He was registered by his blood parents (his first birth certificate) and by another married couple (his second birth certificate) they are an uncle and aunt. The second birth certificate is a legal document in Mexico, which was never used. His parents only did this in case they weren't able to take care of their child for any given circumstances, so his uncle and aunt could claim him as their own child without having to go through adoption. So, when my parents took the decision to come to USA, I was only 10 years old, they asked my cousin's parents if I could use the second birth certificate to get a passport and a visa. They got me a visa with this birth certificate, because we were poor and the parents in the birth certificate are of very well recognized doctors in Mexico City, so they wouldn't deny me a visa at the American Embassy in Mexico and i could safely travel to USA. My cousin's parents said yes since they never used it for over 10 years. With that birth certificate, never before used, my parents got me a passport and a visa. Of course, with the help and the consent of my cousin's parents and the second set of parents he had; my name, face picture, and fingerprints are in the visa and Mexican passport under the other name, which I then used to came to USA, at the time I traveled I was 11 years old.
I have now in my possession the visa and passport that was used for me to travel from Mexico to USA.
The passport that was used for me to travel to USA has the stamp of entry to USA, but I don't have the
I-94 document, also, have my passport under my real name, given to me at birth by my real parents. I entered this country in 2002 with the other name and I NEVER USED IT AGAIN. I got my passport with my REAL name in 2009 in a Mexican consulate in USA. I'm scared that when I get fingerprinted by Immigration the Visa fingerprints will show up and I will be Denis deferred action. SINCE AFTER THEIR DECISION THERE IS NOT WAY TO APPEAL.

Please, I need help, I don't want to be accused of fraud for something I didn't do. I was sent by my parents. They just wanted me to arrive to USA safely. I never ever used those documents again, they were only used to travel into USA, that one time and never used again.
Upon my arrival to USA, I have always used my real name. USA has become my home.
I have worked really hard through middle school, high school, and college to be a well educated man. I learned the language within my first year in USA. I have always respected USA and love/admire this country as mine. It's where i have developed my education, habits, dreams, discipline style of life and friends.
Please, advise me. I don't want to be forced to leave this country. I want to keep living the American dream and one day become a citizen.
