DACA Guidelines Released - Page 3

To my understanding yes, i took a picture holding a newspaper on that day with the date on it.

If you have enough evidence of things like school records and medical records, they can safely deduce that you were physically here on June 15.

I had a woman at Wells Fargo write a dated letter saying that I have an account there, is that considered an affidavit?

Not specifically, look at what i posted.

Thanks!!

yeah i just did, and you're right.

USCIS will not accept affidavits as proof of satisfying the following guidelines:

You are currently in school, have graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, have obtained a general education development certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran from the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States;
You were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012;
You came to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday;
You were under the age of 31 on June 15, 2012; and
Your criminal history, if applicable.

If the only evidence you submit to demonstrate you meet any of the above guidelines is an affidavit, USCIS will issue a Request for Evidence, indicating that you have not demonstrated that you meet these guidelines and that you must do so in order to demonstrate that you meet that guideline.

so they won't accept my notarize paper stating that i was really here last june 15? -.-

and what is circumstantial evidence anyway?

any hope for people that were 16?

I'm still unsettled about the documentation proof process....What about those that came in with visas? That.alone and our I-94 records can prove that we never left the country by the age of 16....

reads good...circumstantial evidence is sufficient to prove presence on the 15th. Sux about the restrictions on traveling abroad though (special permit for somewhat extreme circumstances).

Will USCIS consider circumstantial evidence that I have met certain guidelines?
Circumstantial evidence may be used to establish the following guidelines and factual showings if available documentary evidence is insufficient or lacking and shows that:

You were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012;
You came to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday;
You satisfy the five year continuous residence requirement, as long as you present direct evidence of your continued residence in the United States for a portion of the required five-year period and the circumstantial evidence is used only to fill in gaps in the length of continuous residence demonstrated by the direct evidence; and
Any travel outside the United States during the five years of required continuous presence was brief, casual, and innocent.

However, USCIS will not accept circumstantial evidence as proof of any of the following guidelines to demonstrate that you:

Were under the age of 31 on June 15, 2012; and
Are currently in school, have graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, have obtained a general education development certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States.

For example, if you do not have documentary proof of your presence in the United States on June 15, 2012, you may nevertheless be able to satisfy the guideline circumstantially by submitting credible documentary evidence that you were present in the United States shortly before and shortly after June 15, 2012, which under the facts presented may give rise to an inference of your presence on June 15, 2012 as well. However, circumstantial evidence will not be accepted to establish that you have graduated high school. You must submit direct documentary evidence to satisfy that you meet this guideline.
