Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Okay, with what's going on in the last few days regarding the potential shutdown I have one question. If the republicans get what they want and the funding of the DACA and the expansion of the DACA gets canceled, then what will happen to the applications that have already been submitted? Will they be cancelled? Or will the ruling only affect people that have not applied yet?

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Uscis is not funded through tax payer money. It's funded through application fees so we are ok.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

That's good to hear. However, if a new funding bill gets passed which does not have a part for the DACA program, will the program be cancelled?

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

If it passes Obama said he would veto it.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

In my opinion we are OK as long as Obama is still in office.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

I hope you are right.

Is your EAD for 2 years or 3?

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Don't know yet. I have not received it yet as it was mailed today. I'll update when I receive it.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Got the approval notice today..awaiting on my card.

I was approved on February 26, 2015 it says in the notice that I am approved until February 25, 2017.

Not sure why I got two years instead of 3. Regardless, God is good.

amen.

Just received it today in the mail. It's for 2 years

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

EAD will be for 2 years as the 3 year was part of the Nov. 2014 daca update that was temporary blocked by a Texas judge and the few 100,000 of EAD for 3 years might be canceld depending what the judge says.

FIRST time applicant

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

I just got my social today and I was stoked. I bet you'll be too.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

I already started applying for jobs, I just need to social card in hand, and to go get my license.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Warning you will get even more impatient for these things to arrive than ever before. It's pretty ridiculous actually. I think it's because because we are so close and yet far enough.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

LOL, you would think. but I have been ok. But my Social did arrive today, so yay! one more step, and then a nice and steady job...

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Hi everyone, I've seen a lot of people getting approved quickly for their first time applying. As you can tell from my signature this is my second time applying for DACA and the application was routed to the CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER And still have not heard anything from them in regards of approval or RFE. I am getting very anxious since I was laid off from work last week after 3 years working there with no legal documentation. Now I'm struggling to find a job that would let me work Part time, since I'm currently a college student. Does anyone happen to know in what month applications is the CSC working on? I know that for the first time applicants is 6 month, but other people that have applied and shared a very close timeline with me where approved last month. Any output would be appreciated.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Yes. 1St time:-)

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

I'm getting my Social today.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Congratulations! I thought I would feel more happy when I got my social, instead I looked at it and said cool, then left it on my night stand... but at least I now know what to put on Job applications. lol

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Were you given a reason on why you were denied the first time? or why it took so long?? Have you had troubles with law enforcement in the past? fraud?

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

No I don't have any criminal record. I was brought here as a child and overstayed my visa. And the reason for the denial was because supposedly I didn't respond to the RFE within the timeframe given.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

That sounds very weird, especially since it took them forever to deny you anyway... I am sorry. Hopefully everything goes a lot smoother this time. I sent in my application in November and got approved in the beginning of this month, so it took about 5 months, maybe a little longer. Hope everything goes well for you!

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Thank you I appreciate it. I hope I get approve this time and soon! What service center was your application routed to?

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Mine was routed to Nebraska's service center. And that was the center that was swamped

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Oh I see my first application was in Nebraska as well! But now mine is at the California service center but I've seen some people who applied in December been approved since last month. There's not much I can do But wait I guess.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Lol that's so true.
Thanks!😄
I'm so happy. Yay!

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Try to contact your Congressman.
Here is the link to Find out who your congressman is in your district, http://www.house.gov/representatives/find
I think it help me 2 week after I did this I got approve.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

I withdrew my application last November because I was really scared, but I filed a new application last week and received acceptance email today.

We'll see how it goes.

Re: Official DACA Process Time Thread Part 2 (new applicants)
 

Right there with you. Sent to Phoenix on 5/23. Routed to California Service Center on 6/01.
