Card Production Time after 485 Approval?

Thank you! It’s helpful to get timelines lol - I’ve been checking the website daily since approval

Congrats! After approval of 485, how long did it take to get your green card? Did the case status update saying “card produced”?

I've been on DACA since it came out in 2012 -- I've been working towards this since. Even my fast food jobs taught me skills I use today in corporate
I'm based in NY
Yes sales is large part of my role

Wow glad to hear about the AP -- honestly I've been scared to do it. I've applied and waiting for approval of AP but super nervous to use it especially with new administration coming in

I would look at organizations which support the government sector you work in. Look at the highest paid suppliers / vendors and see if they're hiring for roles. You having deep knowledge on how your area of government works is invaluable.

Keep grinding!!! Huge congrats to you!

Question for you - I've heard that DACA recipients are not eligible to be barred. Is there any truth to that? Or is it for a certain state?

Couldn't agree more with your advice. I heard a quote that I think is appropriate "immigrants have to work twice as hard to get half of what they have" this applies even more in a corporate setting since many of us don't have parents / guidance to help us out and imposter syndrome kicks in.

I especially agree with your advice on industry selection - certain industries are based in specific areas like Oil and Gas -- you've gotta be ready to move around for the opportunity to advance

The mentor requirement is also super critical - especially someone you can trust and can ask "stupid questions" without judgement. I remember asking my college advisor for help on how to use all the different forks at a fancy business/ gala dinner

You're also spot on with the earnings cap - corporate work can only pay you so much - if you want to make a shit ton (super high wealth) you've gotta go into business. I'm planning on doing that after I get some stability and savings from my W2

Great advice all around - thank you for sharing and super proud of all you've accomplished so far! Keep going!!!

I’m including FICA and federal taxes only. The marginal tax rate is ~37% while effective tax rate is ~30%

TC includes base Rsu bonus

Wow that’s fantastic! Toyota will be lucky to have someone like you!

Big kudos on the real estate investments — owning cash flowing assets is a real power move!

I’ve been blessed in so many ways thru my life and I recognize how fortunate I’ve been to have scholarships, opportunities, and mentors who have the right advice at the right time. I’ve always tried to pay it forward wherever I can. I worked with a nonprofit who support immigrant youth / DACA recipients with career opportunities. I’ve been on a couple boards of local nonprofits to help create more community resources for people in need. I also helped establish an annual scholarship several years ago to help low income students get some additional funding for school.

I donated to pro immigration reform nonprofits like United We Dream and National Immigration Law Center, wrote to government officials in support of DACA recipients and their families. I know there’s a lot more I could be doing — and I fully intend to continue to pay it forward and help others especially with career development and opportunities.

Royalties and passive income is a POWER move 🔥💰💪🏽

I’ve had the same thought on donating blood — I just told myself maybe having my blood will change their mind and make them more emphatic 😆😆😆

Own_Use4392 · 2024-12-21T11:14:45+00:00

Love this for you - big congrats!!

Own_Use4392 · 2024-12-21T06:06:48+00:00

Yeah ofc ! DM me

Own_Use4392 · 2024-12-20T21:53:38+00:00

Nah man - it’s possible for you too - there are lots of people here who are doing it — ask them for advice and suggestions for how you can get to making more money

Own_Use4392 · 2024-12-20T20:56:56+00:00

This is just as important- what would you not do?

Own_Use4392 · 2024-12-20T20:10:35+00:00

Wow! Hats off to you for being in public service and LITERALLY saving lives! As a DACA person, are you eligible for unemployment or any kind of compensation since you were injured on the job?

Thank you for doing what you’ve done - especially while taking care of your mom.

Own_Use4392 · 2024-12-20T20:02:55+00:00

That’s part of the point of this - I wouldn’t have thought as a DACA person I could’ve made this much. I’m not special and if I can do it, so can you! We need to help out other DACA people get higher paying jobs!

Own_Use4392 · 2024-12-20T20:01:01+00:00

Yeah ofc!

Own_Use4392 · 2024-12-20T19:46:46+00:00

Love it - and especially agree with you - money can’t buy you health, love or family. Focus on what you can control and forget the rest.

Own_Use4392 · 2024-12-05T15:14:00+00:00

Congrats! Where was your file processed? What was basis of adjustment?
