For Those That Are Eligible, What exactly should we be doing now?

It's a simple question, but what should we be doing?

Are we waiting on DHS to give us instructions on the matter or is there something we can do right now to get the ball rolling?

I plan on calling my lawyer tomorrow. What should I ask him?

Yes, just wait.

Get the documents ready.

that is the best you can do as of now.

I think it would be smart to start gathering up the documents that will prove you were here before the age of 16, been in the U.S. for at least 5 years before Obama made the announcement, and graduated high school.

kk thanks for the quick responses guys.


Is there a website I should be following for official news related to

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis and http://dreamact.info/

Yes, that website is uscis.org I would suggest to just be patient this is from the USCIS page:
"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) alerts eligible individuals NOT to submit a deferred action request under the Deferred Action Process for Young People memorandum issued by Secretary Napolitano on June 15. If you submit now, your application will be rejected. The Secretary’s directive gives USCIS 60 days to create a process to accept these requests and we are unable to accept requests at this time. *Please continue to check our website for updates."

Just start searching for your old documents. I am so lucky to have a hoarder of a mom lol I found report cards from elementary school

How do we or prove that we were here if you were in the country when the announcement was made if you don't currently have a job and are not attending school?

Do you use facebook? I actually "checked in" at the local grocery store hoping that'll be one form of proof (I also went to the bank though). Facebook has your activities timed and I don't think you can check into someplace that's too far away from your current cell position
