Hello everyone......
I am new here but I have been reading the posting for a while. I decided to join because I have been feeling depress about my DACA not being approved yet. I feel that here I can relate to many under the same circumstances. I was brought to this country when I was 1yr. old. (1986) I grew up not knowing that I was undocumented or what it meant. Until I tried to get my drivers licence when I was 16yrs. old. The lady at the DMV told me I could not get a license if I had no SS# It was then when I realized what it meant to be undocumented. I felt ashamed and embarrassed and my life was changed for ever. I was fortune enough to find a job when I was 16yrs old and I have been independent and supported myself ever since. However this feeling of imprisonment inside of me has never gone away. I feel like I have been living in a prison of life. I feel sooo guilty for wanting a better life because honestly I have a comfortable life with a well-paid job, but money is not everything to me. My dream is to find a job where I can feel appreciated and not stepped all over by rude customers. The wait is killing me and I haven't even been waiting that long. What got me anxious was seeing other people that I know who applied around Jan. or Feb already approved. It makes me anxious that something is wrong with my application. It's the not knowing that's killing me........

Congrats to the new approved..!!!

First of all welcome to this forum. I can relate to you story because we have similar timelines and similar life stories. I am now 25 years old and have supported myself ever since. I managed to open a small business and thank god that i have been able to support myself and been able to stay sane. I too cannot wait to get approved for DACA. Just having a drivers license and ssn the things i see a lot of my friends take for granted seems to get to me sometimes. Sometimes like you i get anxious. I actually suffer from anxiety so it has not been easy to be able to get by day to day. Something inside me keeps me going, faith, hope.. Im actually not too sure. All i know is that god is in the background keeping me going. Stay positive try to focus on other things that you enjoy. For example i like to design. I spend countless hours designing things on Adobe Photoshop etc.. I was brought here when i was about 5 years old. So i know how you feel now 20 years later not having a license or a legal way of working i had to find a way to stay optimistic about the future. Dont ever feel ashamed of who you are. Its hard to see others that have it easier than we do. But remember there are other who dont qualify for DACA because they aged out or many other reasons. Hope this give you a glimmer of hope or even a smile.

Hang in there! We are all on the same boat! Don't feel guilty! Its ok to want something better for yourself and trust me I know about rude customers. Time flies and before you know it you will be approved

May I ask what kind of small business you own? That has been my goal for a while. I can relate to both of your stories.

its a coffee shop/art shop and we have jazz night, poetry night, etc.. to bring more clients.

I had to work some lousy jobs to save up to open a small business.
