I can only think positively about this, I beat out a lot of competition to get the offer, I think they just need clarification on the status. My lawyer said to keep him in the loop, he did a very good job on my case.

A company can do whatever they wish, but is it within legal parameters ? That question can only be answered by lawyers and litigation.

Update:

Today I got a call from HR, they are still working on this, I advised them I'll be sending letters in the mail to Equifax, Experian, Transunion. Furthermore, I think they are looking for ways for this to work, she did not give a verdict on all this. Also, I got a call back from Wells Fargo that they were successful in updating my credit card with the new SSN #, so overall hope all of this helps HR feel a bit more comfortable. Also, I called Social Security to ask for a "review" they re-verified my information, as for double-conforming my EAD with USCIS that looks to be a bit more complicated, they say you need an 1-9 on file to re-check, which I don't at the moment, but I figure that my perspective employer may run into the same if they try to verify without an I-9 on record.

Did you sign up with the selective service ? That helps too because as it turns out not even the U.S government knows you exist yet. When I sent in my letter for the service they told me there was an error because my SSN didn't exist. I had to fill out another paper and then it was updated. Hope that helps out. Good luck.

Thanks All, thought to share that Human Resources gave me the green light today. I am relieved that everything worked out, yes, there was some stressful time in just not knowing whether they would allow me to come on board or not, but I got an e-mail today saying I meet all pre-employment requirements. I am still working on updating the credit bureaus' but glad the employment background check is behind me.

Hello guys,

Long story short,

I got all call from Human Resources, they asked whether the company needed to do anything for me in the future, I think she was getting at whether I needed to be sponsored, I said no, that DACA is a renewable. The other part of the discussion, was why are the Social Security Numbers not matching, they may be running credit checks which show up on my "non" issued social security number. The conversation ended with the company checking with their immigration attorney, she advised to hold off on giving two weeks at my current position until all of this settled.

As you all know this has been a very long road, from childhood, college grad, DACA Granted, etc, etc, I hope this opportunity does not slip away due to DACA Status.

My question is, can the company legally deny me employment due to my DACA Status ?

I feel a bit let down by all of this, even with DACA Status, still hitting snags, anyone have a similar experience, any thoughts would be helpful.

Hello i real some of your posts I believe about you getting a dui and was wondering if you could give me some info on what happened with your case bc I just had a marijuana dui reduced to wreckless driving where the marijuana was dismissed from the case completely. I guess my question is did you get DACA and could I have the name of the attorney you used please it would really help

How long does the update take?
