Some questions regarding what you can and cant do with DACA

Well, my daca was approved after a month wait, and I just recently got my beginner's permit. I need to keep that for 6 months, then I will be able to get my driver's license . I have a few questions regarding what we can, and can't do, with deferred action.


1) Can we start bank accounts? Can some banks deny us, or no? How about credit cards? Can we make credit cards or no?

2) What about phone contracts? I want to use my name for my family's phone contract (instead of a friend's, like we've been doing), is that possible to do with DACA?

3) Can we travel via airlines in the US? What documents do we need to show when we travel in airplanes through states?

Thanks

Good luck

1) Don't need DACA in the first place. I started one using only a foreign passport and a ITIN notice. State ID or EAD and social security card are enough to open a bank account.

Same goes for credit cards but you need credit generally to obtain a credit card.

2) Don't need DACA for that either.

3) Yes. Just use your state ID card or driver's license. Make sure that the flight does not transfer anyone abroad.

1) You can start bank accounts without a SSN. I had a bank account with BoA 2 years before DACA. I got a credit card a year after I got my SSN+Work Permit. I recommending waiting a bit so that your SSN gets into the system. Getting denied will cause your credit score to go down. (Don't apply for a lot of credit cards either)

2) Not sure about phone contracts. I know some phone contracts do a credit check (?) not sure. Your SSN is new so there might be an error. I'm sure there are phone contracts without the credit check.

3) All you need to travel by plane within the US is 1) A valid passport that is not expired (Doesn't have to be US passport) 2) State ID/Drivers License (That is not expired)
