2 years after DACA, were you able to find a job? - Page 4

It's been a very long and happy 2 years for me! I'm in the middle of renewing my DACA at the moment.

I am currently going to school of nursing. Starting my junior year next week.
2 weeks after my DACA was approved back in October 2012, I was hired at CVS Pharmacy as a Cashier. 8 months later, I was promoted to Shift Supervisor.
Last week was my last day at CVS after almost 2 years of working there. Tomorrow I am starting as a Nursing Attendant at NewYork-Presbyterian.

I could have not been more grateful for the opportunity to work legally while studying what I love. I am in the process of renewing my DACA now and my parents have filed an I-130 for me as well!

Discrimination also also means being fired because you have Daca because again DaCA is not protected since its does not fall under the protected categories. So any kind if discrimination like being fired because you have DACA . The letter also says what they can't discriminate you. It does not say they can't fire you because of DACA being something they can't do. So we are free to assume being fired because of DACA is something legal they can do.

It also says alot of things like going to a website and checking there so I did just that and apparently they can fired depending how what information you disclose in the hiring process. If you were open and explain all you legally are rquired, he cannot fired you simply because you have an EAD. Apparently one should be careful about deciding whether or not to disclose more info regarding your EAD.



So did some research and what I discovered was that if you got job after you got DACA the employee cannot fired you if you show them your EAD from the start and if he does fired because of that it is discrimination as you provided them real information.



Now they can fire you if you provided them with fake info and later get Daca and show them your EAD. There is no law protecting us if we lied before we got Daca and were working lie that. However, the law also does not say the employee has to fired you and all they have to do is update your info. So say you used a fake ssn. Well that's enough to be fired , will the employee fire you? Depends on the person.





In summary whether you fire because of your EAD depends on the info you chose to disclose and one should careful.


I also found more in for regarding this

They both say the same thing.

Now did I bothered to check the facts. They cannot ask the sources of your EAD. Having and EAD is suffice and that's it.

@piano

When I was interviewing for jobs, I never brought up the fact that I wasn't a USC.. Their question on the job application is "are you legally able to work in the United States and can you prove it"

Yes and yes. End of story.

When I got hired for my current job, my manager was shocked that I wasn't a USC so I was just like yes and...? Then was asked if I was planning on becoming a USC and I said yes and that was the end of that.

And......? Did you read my post above? it depends how and what info you decide to disclose. If you disclose all legally data the law requires you to offered, in the hiring process, they cannot discriminate.

Many of us here began working in jobs using fake info. The question is now can they can fired you if afterwards they learned you got Daca and more specific an RAD through DACa and the answer is it dpends on them. Read the links I posted above.

Thanks. So I guess I am safe assuming I get renewed in time in Oct. This job was obtained after DACA and I did not lie on the I-9. Now this person who asked for the source of my EAD doesn't seem to be a HR "I-9 enforcer". It sounded like she saw the approaching exp date on my EAD and asked whether I needed visa assistance from the company.

Yeah just tell them under law and use under law specifically. You are not require to explain why you got your EAD. As far they care you got it for magic land. Even if they do find out about DACA they cannot fire you unless in the hiring process your lied which it seems you didn't. You should 've good

But does HR know that DACA does not require sponsorship? All they see is the expiration date on the EAD and they do know that the recipient has DACA. HR does not have time to figure what DACA is. The expiration date shows HR that I will not be able to work later on therefore I will need sponsorship.

This is why you need to explain what DACA is in order to not have an offer rescind. This only applies to work places with sponsorship guidelines.

its important to emphasizes that its a renewable work permit.
