DACA RENEWAL 2016. My son's renewal application was sent and the biometrics scheduled and done back in august. Still waiting for the approval and the work permit was due yesterday. Where should we call?

It depends on his father's status.

If his father is a green card holder and your son turns 21, then it would take 7 years to petition for your son.

If his father becomes a US citizen and an I-130 is received by USCIS before your son's 21st birthday, then it's an Immediate Relative case.

To be blunt; the father is making a stupid decision to wait to file the I-130. What if he does not get his citizenship before your son turns 21? Also, if he files now, it would be about 2 years for his son to immigrate to the US. File August 2016, and your son will be here in about 2 years - August 2018. If his father becomes a USC, he can upgrade. His father is just wasting time and possibly delaying his son's immigration. To be blunt; just plain stupid to wait to file the I-130. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, file the I-130 when you can. There is never a good reason to delay filing the I-130.

I agree with everything you said. I will have to convince him to do it right away. thanks for the input.

thank you!! now his father wants to wait until he is a citizen. Problem is my son is turning 21 on April 2018 and he will go for his citizenship on June 2017. Hopefully we are ok with the times. do you guys know what will happen if we put the petition and my son turns 21 in the process?

Thanks!

Once he becomes a US citizen, he notifies the office where the I-130 petition is currently at with a letter and his proof of citizenship to upgrade the petition.

The father of my son will become a US citizen next year.

I want to enter an application now and then, when he is a citizen, we can

change the status on the application and move my son's application up.

do you guys know how can we move it up? i was told is just a letter but

is it true?

thanks

Recently received my social security card after getting my green card.

I had worked in the past with a "not valid ss" and would like to know if i

can go to Social Security and ask them to validate the 8 years that i

worked with that other social sec.

I should add that it was not under my name.

anyone having the same issue?

Friend of mine had been working with a social security that he purchased in NY, he even picked the name and number. When he got his green card he validate all the years he hd been working and got credit for all those years.
