r/DACA

Just wondering if anyone has been waiting 240 days or more?My company is giving me 90 days for LOA which would total 240 days of waiting. I’m just anxious that it might take longer than that. I submitted in February

i have a w2 job, wfh, havent been terminated even tho my ead expired on the first of july....this happened back in 2021 and i kept working for a different wfh job but it was a 1099. i was told i was going to be terminated back in june 1st yet, my account tasks logins and everything is still there and im able to complete tasks. im thinking on just keep going lol what do yall think?

Any fellow DACA recipients living in San Diego? Do you frequently or occasionally pass through interior immigration checkpoints, like the one by Temecula on the I-15 north? I might have to travel to San Diego in August and im stressing because I dont know how safe it is for daca recipients to pass through these checkpoints with the current administration we have.

I have a current DACA and EAD, I have absolutely no prior removal order or criminal record. My US citizen wife and son will be with me (trying to work on eventually getting a green card)

Do you guys consider it safe? If i'm unlucky enough to be there when agents are stopping traffic, is there a chance ill be detained or anything?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice or input on this situation. Back in 2020 I had applied for DACA and still haven’t gotten anywhere with it, but before I had applied I was robbed while working in a bakery. Cops were called after the situation, I even let them know I was 16/17 about the time it happened and alone at the store. Afterwards no cops showed up and no report was ever made. The store does have cameras and my boss was told about the situation. I want to know if I can do something about it now or has it been too long now to do anything about it.

Another thing is that a few days after my school was dealing with a report of a school shooting (someone having a gun) and wanted to know if something could’ve been done about it or not.

I've only ever paid for my Daca with money orders. The last time I renewed, I used my bank account, but my bank had denied it, and my renewal got sent back. I'd like to use my Discover credit card this time, and I just wanted to know if there was a chance of it also getting denied somehow. My bank has stupid security measures and blocks transactions when it's inconvenient, so I especially didn't want to risk it with how things are going right now.

How many of you are over 200 days now? I’m at 206 but had API on 6/26.

Are you celebrating today?

Background : I was brought into this country when I was 5 years old by American citizens. No biological family in the United States and “adopted” parents never fixed my documents before I turned 18 back in 2003. I am now almost 41 and have had DACA since 2013.

I work a normal job in insurance. Undergrad degree in HR.

I’ve tried to migrate to Canada via Express Entry. I’m not competitive enough to be “drafted” to file for visa.
I’ve considered doing my masters in Canada but they switched up the requirements so much it wouldn’t be worth depleting my savings and potentially not being able to stay in Canada and banned from United States.

Same for UK and Australia. It’s based on specific jobs and most of the time with those careers you have to have a job offer and employer that will sponsor you.

I don’t think anything will change in the USA when it comes to DACA and I don’t know how much more I can take with this DACA limbo.

What are other DACA recipients doing ? What am I missing ?

If you became a U.S. Citizen, what would be the first thing you would do? Positive/fun answers only! I know it’s been rough for all of us. Hope this gives us hope!

Hey everyone! I’m curious how some of you feel when you hear a fellow daca recipient getting a DUI? I hear people with mixed feelings saying stuff such as “Everyone makes mistakes” and “They didn’t know any better we should help and get them out of jail/detention” but I can’t help feel like you picked this to be the time to FAFO like be fr 😒 yeah yeah I know I’m the AH for saying such things, but jeez DACA is already on a thread. I’m here to maybe someone can change my mind perhaps I’m missing something? Idk ..thoughts?

So I did that api thing and there’s nothing but them saying I submitted my expedite request twice and no movement since 12/8 when I submitted, I’m going 2 months expired and need to go back to work asap I’m losing hope with all these people applying 1/2 months ago getting approved so quickly

America has been since day 1 nd god know where we heading but today regardless of how we feel this is still the greatest country in the world hope one day we can overcome this nd become citizens because we all have put our part to be part of this have a great 4th

With all these renewal delays, I’m scared how long it may take to get mine. Mine expires in May 2027. I usually would renew around Nov but may do it earlier. But still I’ve seen ppl who renewed way earlier and still ended up losing their jobs.

I feel like I should start working on some side hustle. I have in the past but Didnt make money. But with $0 savings, I’m scared what will happen if I didn’t get it in time.

($0 savings isn’t bc i haven’t tried. I don’t make enough & I’m the bread winner)

Hey guys I just have to get it out of my head. Delete if its not allowed here. Friday started out amazing I got my work permit in the mail and made an appointment to renew my drivers license. If anyone in michigan has experience with being two months late and can help explain if anything different happens or is it the same as usual. The whole day was going great until I get a call around 5 that a tree fell on my home. So now I'm out even more money then I currently have. To make matters even worse Imy wife and I just put down one of our cats. We took her to the emergency vet and found out she had terminal cancer. I'm sorry again if this isn't allowed I just needed to vent somewhere based on events of today

Wondering if anyone has an API update on their I821D on 6/14 but not the EAD and hasn’t seen any movement since
