For some reason something keeps telling me that I shouldn't have applied for the deferred action I know I deserve it but I feel like I should have left that opportunity for somebody who really deserved it since I can't find a job, my mom knowing the big opportunity President Obama gave us and that we had to put it to use, she still made me drop out of college not knowing how much that would affect me I just feel like every door is closing on me that I have no opportunities and I know I should be lucky and I am but its just all the negativity it has been 2 months and half that I got approved and I still can't find a job I feel like I just wasted that time.. I thought about going back to Mexico maybe there I had a shot at studying since the school I was going to here was the only one who accepts people with deferred action or they didn't have a problem accepting me like the other schools and also maybe working since I can really put the bilingual knowledge to work. I also considered maybe moving states but I cannot afford that since my parents are separated and I know my dad wouldn't want to pay so much for tuition. I am just overwhelmed I think

I know it can be overwhelming. But you got to keep your head up. We deserve our chance at life as much as anyone else. All things happen for a reason. Just keep looking around for work. There's bound to be something out there. Does lose your faith chica.

Hey its been a little more than 3 months now, i know what you mean. Any luck with finding a job?

aw don't say that! you'll find something I'm sure just keep on looking, don't give up girl. I wish I could help , I really do :/
moving to another state sounds like a good idea, some states like Texas and Cali are not that strict at accepting undocumented youth in schools and jobs.
Don't give up remember we are DREAMers! luchamos hasta conseguir alcanzar nuestros sueños y metas

seriously i cant believe you feel guilty. You have an opportunity that a lot of people wished they had. Instead of feeling "guilty"you should feel motivated that you finally have a chance to improve and make a better life for you and your family. yea things are hard but we now have a way of getting things done. maybe you cant find a job because you havent searched enough or you just gave up. whatever it is don't let a problem like that get you down. you already got approved. i honestly dont see a reason why your not smiling and cheering. dont give up and stop thinking like that. dont feel sorry for your self. get up and do something with this opportunity that you got.

No, don't say that, and don't feel guilty because this was given to you. No way! I hear Iowa, Missouri, Idaho and I get concerned because I tend to hear that a lot of people out there are very close minded. Have you been able to get a license? I really hope you can find something, even if it is a restaurant, I say that, just because it is not healthy to be at home all the time thiking things over too much. I have been home for almost a month and I am going crazy already, but I am not even approved yet. You can always move later, but go to school or a course that will accept DACA. No amount of education is too much. We are young and we will have out chance in this country. Do not give up. Pray and I will pray for you too, I know you will find something. Build up a nice resumee, I can even help you with that if you want, just message me.

Are you kidding me ??? Do you hear yourself ??? Like what is wrong with you? You have no idea what you're saying , you're here complaining that you dont deserve this law because you cant find a job??? you know i've been waiting to get approved now for a couple of months I WISH WITH ALL MY HEART i was already approve even if that meant i was unemployed! at least i wouldve been approved! You got approved faster than many of us, the fact that you havent been able to find a job doesnt mean you dont deserve it . Doors are closing on you? B....please! you just got approved...doors are opening for you ! now you can have a license, you can travel inside the US, nobody can deport you now, you have a social, you have a work permit ...guess what that means? more job opportunities! i dont know what kind of job you're looking for but there's jobs out there. Have you try the mall? they always always hiring people at the stores ! maybe is not the job of your dreams but in the mean time you can work there save up and money and keep looking for that job you want. You haven't wasted these two months like you think, you have been trying to look for a job for the last two months! That's not wasting time , you know whats wasting time what we the people waiting for the approval are doing. or most of us are doing , like being home doing nothing because we can't do anything unlike you we cant go and look for a job yet because we still dont have a work permit so what do we ? we just sit here and wait and check the mailbox every day expecting our approval, we check the website more than once a day checking that our case has been moved from initial review were it has been the last couple of months to whatever the next step is. Tienes una falta de ubicacion terrible! Stop concentrating on the negative and look at the positive ...theres many stories here of people that have been waiting months to get an approval and here you are spitting at your approval go read those stories , go and feel your heart break for the many young people that arent as lucky as you to get approved as fast! Sabes que tienes q hacer en la vida....Ubicarte!!!!

Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I've been coming to this site for a while now. The correct thing to do was to register so I did. I've been living in Chicago IL since 1991 or since I was 9 years old. I recently applied for DACA. I was a bit scared because I'm turning 31 years old in March. Hopefully I get approve soon. Well this is it for now. If any of you have any questions just feel free to ask.

Are you serious ? is this valid info ?

After a long wait and yesterday giving up and completely being broke!! No phone no money for books and items I need for school god smiled at me and finally send me good news today!! I received three notification emails saying I have been approved and my card was sent into production yesterday!!! I got them at 5:00am so that was really early! Omg I'm finally going to be able to work in the hospitals and finish my nursing career!! Help my dad with his business and move on in life legally. I'm extremely happy and hope everyone else gets approved so we can finally live our lives without fear!!! And rock on!!!!!

I was trying to find out more info on DACA time lines on Google and Bingo I found this forum

I googled it and came across this..

haha GOOGLE!!!! Gotta love it. Was researching DACA and just happen to stumble onto here.

Yup me too I went to google and this is what I typed "how long dies it take to get your work permit after biometrics?" And the first link was this forum

same as the others Google

me dijo un amiga, del amigo, del primo, de la tia de mi vecino que fue a una fiesta de la prima de mi vecino!!
NOmbre no se crean lo mismo que to2..... lo gugguglieeeee! jajajajajajajaja

I googled info about deferred action when it was first announced, found this page and saw the time line on it. I stalked it everyday and joined the forums

After the DACA applications came out I downloaded them and I was searching on google for more DACA related news and I found the other forum, DAP, but I didn't like it at first, It seemed a bit cluttered. I then found this site and decided to sign up.

Wow were all on the same page....google.com

I was google'ing "DACA approvals" and the first thing google pulled up was this site. Before that, I think I might have ran into the original blog page to read about 'dream act'. If I am not mistaken that page had been up since late 2011 or so.
