DACA to AOS - Page 344

That's what 2 years of waiting will do to you.

And if I'm being super honest, it doesnt feel as life changing as when I got my first DACA approval. DACA gave me everything I have. This green card is just security that I won't lose it.

I hope I'm not coming off as ungrateful, because I'm not. This whole journey of dealing with my immigration status my whole life has just been exhausting.

I sincerely hope everyone that is still waiting gets relief soon. Hang in there.

Same experience for me. Daca was more life changing for me while my green card just added security and the ability to travel. Still super grateful but I’m not going to pretend I was over excited when I received it as I was when I got daca

I didn't mean to screw it up intentionally, she was under 26 and so I thought it was IRS standard that she's still a dependent under her parents. Turns out the age limit is 24 and we both filed as 'single'. I know we could amend the return and file it as married and it shouldn't be an issue but how bad is this going to outweigh all the other bonafide evidence in the interview? Is it totally going to depend on the interviewing officer I get that day?
