He has has said he would get rid of it. We need to make sure Hillary is out next president.

You aren’t required to be a student. You just need to have been in the US before a certain date and age and for a consecutive time. 

follow it to the T and you should be good. 

We have many stories that have been submitted to us but now that i think about it I don't recall any Washington specific ones. A number of them won't include their state of residence. If you're from Washington and have a story, please submit to us so we can share!!DACA is the same throughout the entire country and it would be a good idea to stay put until you are approved since you have to report change of addresses which would elongate the process.-Luis

Yes, we're trying our best! It really depends on your state. California has the most opportunities by far.Undocumented students, including us DACA recipients, are not eligible for federal student aid, but you may still be eligible for state or college aid, in addition to private scholarships.Here is a good place to start: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/eligibility/non-us-citizens-Luis

So please don’t panic like I did (I was a mess for 5 minutes at a movie theater omg)

Thank you! Sorry it's been kind of inactive. Lewis and I got DACA and hit the ground running!

Google United we dream. They rock!

So my DACA ended without a renewal. I kept working without telling them and they never checked. A month later I got my new work permit and everything was cool. That's just my personal experience.

you can check your status on the official USCIS website. Or just google USCIS case status and enter your receipt numbers.

Hi thanks for your question I'm unable to copy the beginning of your question because I'm on mobile but, basically, whether your employer wants to keep you employed while you're in legal limbo is completely up to them. Technically you are not required to inform your employer that your work permit is expiring. It is the responsibility of HR to track all of that. Speak with HR on your e-verify job as well as your direct supervisor and have a talk with them. Let them know your situation and ask them if they'll let you back in once your permit is approved. I dealt with mine that way and after my work permit was renewed the same day of expiration, my employment was reinstated in full about a week later. You never know, your work permit might be renewed on day of expiration just like mine. Make sure to check every day! Best of luck to you keep us posted! -L

No not at all. Your SSN is with you for life, whether you keep DACA, leave DACA approval status, or gain or lose immigrant status. Say for example, you get a green card. Your SSN is always the same! :)

Well unfortunately you cannot get insurance to cover costs of past medical bills. In addition, yes you are correct DACA approved recipients are not eligible for government funded financial medical aid, such as Medicaid, Medicare, and Obamacare. You would have to go through a private insurer, such as through your employer.

barbigrrrl a traffic ticket doesn't count as a misdemeanor, so I highly doubt it'll count against you.

Thank you! Yeah I was fired from my job (they use e-verify) and rehired a week later when my EAD came in the mail. I applied for renewal on December 11, right at the end of the window of time for which you can apply before it's too late, and received a notice of payment on the 19th. On December 26, I received my ASC biometrics appointment notice, which was scheduled for January 16, 2015. Went right on time, and I did not receive any further notice until my approval on April 11, 2015 same day of my expiration date for my previous EAD. My friend was also approved on date of expiration, which is really inconvenient for people that work for companies that use e-verify like myself. But it isn't a denial so can't complain. There really is no reason for denial unless you had some criminal history added to your record since your last approval, or if you left the country without parole. Best of luck to you! Keep us updated :)-L
