RFE:8/13/16
RFE response sent: 8/18/16
EAD: 9/1/16
Waiting for the rest..

This might sound all good on paper but Believe me, I feel like I went trough hell: I almost lost my job (won't go into details). I have a degree in Criminology and Law and I did all I could to expedite my EAD. If you have an AOS pending do yourself a favor and expedite it! I sent a bunch of letter to USCIS and all got denied but a couple of days after contacting my Congressman my card got approved. You can try to expedite AOS based on financial hardship but you can't expedite DACA EAD. I didn't even bother to apply to DACA because of all the issues that I were happening.

Honestly I see a lot of Dreamers that aren't researching what they can do. This page helps but we all the internet and our intellectual minds to make rational and smart decisions. I urge everyone to apply for AOS as soon as you can (Via AP or other means). We do not know how this election will turn out but I feel a blood bath boiling and you never ever ever ever want to be at the bottom of the food chain! Make this the last time you ever have to apply to DACA!
