Ugh, upset with processing time! - Page 5

I was merely pointing out the lack of respect for this person, just as you're doing to me. I was addressing the comment about blaming herself for being irresponsible. I'm sure she's paying the consequences now, she doesn't need someone to bash her for it too.

So, please spare yourself the financial lessons. It's easier said than done!

I would have had the money order in hand and ready to pay it 2 years ago. But hey, that's life.

I'm also glad to see other Dreamers use their new lease on life and do something with it. What I don't have patience for is seeing people get opportunities without working for it and then complain about it. It's not tough to save $500 in one and a half years with a work permit. If you think it's tough then it's time to pack it up and move back to your village. to complain about it is spitting in the faces of those of us who for the last 2 years have been waiting for a change in the rule and when we finally get it, have the rugs swept from under us.

"good luck" to you too.

You waited 4 months past the recommended time to do it. On top of that, it sometimes takes 4 to 5 months for the process so even in best case, there would be a delay.

If something is this important in your life like a work permit, and you had a year and a half to save money for it, you should have saved the money for it so at least you would have done what you could and if it was still delayed, then you could be grumpy that it's not fair etc.

As soon you get your EAD card, you should begin saving just for the renewal fee. Saving 1 dollar a day for less than 3 years should not be a problem. Get loan, beg your family to help you, sell your blood (well plasma)
