I don't have my biometrics appointment until 10/11/12, until then I am going to job hunt, spice up my resume, and go buy a new outfit for any future interviews. It seriously helps pass the time, you should all try it; and this time we're not just daydreaming, we're going to actually get the jobs we want now!! Okay, that's it. And hi everyone, I'm from California and live in the Sacramento area =] |
You guys want to know what I think truthfully from the bottom of my heart?
The day I got my A# on my receipt was the happiest day ever for me. Why? Because just the idea that I was having something legal in this country brightened up my mood. I just called FBI today to check if my fingerprints were sent to USCIS, you know just making sure if the process if moving along well, I'm not in a rush.
Anyways, the gentleman named Leroy said to me, "Sir, what is your Social Security Number?" in the most generous way someone has ever asked me something. I responded, "Well I don't have that yet as I just applied for a legal status recently but I do have an Alien number." He said "Oh that's good give me that." I gave him my Alien mumber and he asked me for my name and I told him my name. He then confirmed that my prints were sent to USCIS. I thanked him and wished him a good day and hung up.
You know what went through my head after that? I was identified by a string of numbers. I was finally in the system. The FBI employee was able to pull up all my information, as if I had been in the system for years and years, and he just...he knew who I was. I'm pretty sure he saw my picture too and I'm not cocky or anything, but he might be havin mancrushes right now.
But anyways, I finally felt as if I belonged. Althought up to this date it was just a sentiment within me that I belong to this country, today I realized that I actually do belong and that I am identified somehow.
So, if you can picture my happiness from just being in the process for DACA, imagine all the things I would get after that (DL, SSN, credit cards etc.) and how happy those things would make me.
I don't care how long this process takes, at least I know I'm pending and in some way, I can finally be recognized by who I am and not as an "International student", "Illegal Alien", "Illegal Immigrant". Although I still have the title of an immigrant, I'm not completely an immigrant. I feel great!

But no one is really sure if walk-ins are causing this, its just what the majority thinks. Even if a lot of people have walked in, what's done is done. It's like trying to bring one back from the dead. The person is dead. So what I'm saying is, okay, the process is backlogged now, so what can we do? Argue on the internet? No! Lets just wait like civilized people and also set an example for the dreamers. We don't want to be looked upon as "foolish immigrants fighting over processing times of simple benefits" Come on, now. We're better than that. Lets fucking live up to that and not waste our time arguing on the internet and presenting theories cause it's not going to do shit besides creating division between people who walked in and people who went on schedule. I don't really care how long my process takes. I may be exaggerating when I say it can take up to a year or two for all I care but thats really how I feel. I don't really mind if it does need to be that way because of the backlogs and there is nothing I can do to fix that besides send energy drinks and cookies to the USCIS employees to speed up their work. We have gotten an opportunity here, why waste time and brainpower over the ideas of processing times. |
Yes what is done is done. All I am saying is if it continues it will be back logged and people shouldn't be really encouraged to walk in. A process than can potentially take a month to a few months to half a year to a year is a long time if applicants continue to walk in. After all we have all waited a long time haven't we? Opportunities such as potential jobs can be lost within weeks. Thus, the system gets backed logged lots of people miss potential opportunities that could benefit them. Most of us are looking for jobs so time does matter.
It is very frustrating when job opportunities are present and one can't get them because they have been waiting longer than usual for the necessary documents to work. I saw some comments about having a degree and such and looking for a job. Time is essential for this. I myself have 2 Bachelor's Degrees and I am about to earn my Masters, I have a valid SS# but no work authorization, for most of us, I am eager to find work.

So, you think that 0.001% of people who applied and walked in are slowing down your application? |

Why not try to take our mind off of things? Let's advocate for the Drea
Act! Lets actually stand on an intersection on a busy highway and pass out flyers of the Dream Act that promotes it! Ideas that reflect the positives that would come out of allowing us idividuals with degrees in various fields to work in the United States and contribute to it's power and help it gain dominance in every aspect compared to other nations. Convince the citizens of this country that look down upon us "immigrants that don't deserve to be part of our nation because they bring us down", that we are individuals with high level degrees that can actually boost the economy, we can create jobs with our innovation, our business centered backgrounds.
There are a couple of users on this forum that are waiting for approvals for a really long time now, almost a month, and I won't point them out but that is the attitude we must have. They are frustrated as well but they realize the sad truth that what's done is done.

- Total number of walk-ins divided by the total number of applications
- Number of Forum walk-ins divided by the number of forum applications
