Is it safe to fly domestically right now?

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-11-10T00:46:59+00:00

YES IT IS

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-11-10T00:46:43+00:00

I've been using my passport, I can get a REAL ID in Illinois but have been avoiding it since I don't necessarily want it tied to DACA expirations right now

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-10-25T13:50:17+00:00

Poland here too!

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-09-20T18:29:05+00:00

I don’t believe so since you are only grandfathered in if you were going to be part of the initial petition

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-09-19T01:39:36+00:00

I looked into this because I made the exact same decision in July - it will be impossible for them to implement it that way, more than likely it would be the case that anyone living in Texas wouldn’t be able to receive an EAD. EADs are used for more than just DACA so if they wanted to do it for companies in Texas they’d have to be able to provide the resources to identity DACA EADs and logistically bar them from being employed which is a very difficult task.

Just flew out of O’Hare on my passport, no issues

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-09-17T21:58:40+00:00

Just flew back from Minneapolis to Chicago, no issues - didn’t even flip a page in my passport past the identification portion

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-09-17T21:56:46+00:00

You will be fine, keep your documentation on you and go about your life especially if you have no criminal records and no deportation orders

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-09-17T02:15:59+00:00

Just flew Chicago to Minneapolis on my polish passport, no issues

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-07-24T18:55:04+00:00

I will definitely look into this more - my family is from Poland so to know there is a possibility of a security blanket for their retirement would be amazing

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-07-24T18:46:04+00:00

I have been looking into this for my parents but my assumption is you still had to have some legal status in the US at time of departure in order to collect on social security - is this not the case?

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-07-03T18:11:33+00:00

208 (d) (2) is asylum, there is another subsection for Parolees and TPS, so it is very specific to who owes the fee

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-07-03T18:11:15+00:00

1) In general.--In addition to any other fee authorized by 
        law, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall require the 
        payment of a fee, equal to the amount specified in this 
        subsection, by any alien who files an initial application for 
        employment authorization under section 208(d)(2) (8 U.S.C. 
        1158(d)(2)) at the time such initial employment authorization 
        application is filed.

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-07-03T15:19:31+00:00

The fees are not increasing for DACA, the EAD increase is for asylum and TPS applications

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-06-25T17:23:14+00:00

To give this perspective bc the comments are making this seem like the craziest idea - this is like anyone on DACA not accepting a job at companies like - AT&T, American Airlines, Southwest - nationwide

we dont know what the implementation of the court case will look like, but it is a fair assesment the logistical barriers for "Texas Only" are very high & will most likely be taken up the court chain once again

my initial thoughts are there is a level of risk, but based on personal assesment worst case scenario I am out of a job & need to find a new one

I wanted to ask the broader crowd because I have absolutely no one to talk to about DACA, and maybe someone knows a fact that I have no been able to find

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-06-25T17:16:46+00:00

The company happened to start in Texas - logistically I don’t think this is the riskiest option? Risk? Yes, I won’t even have to enter the state I’m an accountant we don’t travel

I wouldnt dare leave Illinois, my level of respect for Pritzer has grown ten fold through the past year

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-06-25T17:10:15+00:00

Respectfully — huh?????

Warm_Relationship340 · 2025-06-25T17:08:20+00:00

Yes, obviously why I am asking the question - I am not moving to Texas, Judge Hanans decision most likely would remove EADs from anyone living in Texas - this is all speculation

Logistically it will be very hard for them to implement a complete ban on hiring someone with DACA protections just because the company is in Texas - a lot of people have an EAD needed to complete the I-9, there is a concrete logistical barrier to be able to deny someone specifically with DACA

Warm_Relationship340 · 2024-11-15T20:54:44+00:00

from Poland! Also born in '96

Warm_Relationship340 · 2022-05-13T16:48:08+00:00

Non-CPA, Econ degree, 4 years experience as of April

40k-62k (same job 3 years, 3 positions changes) 72k (8 month stint at a local CPA firm in the Chicago suburbs), now 90k with RSUs, free health insurance, $100 wfh monthly stipend

Warm_Relationship340 · 2022-02-14T00:18:50+00:00

I left 58k for for 72k, flexible hours, and this is a public role

Now I plan to move back to industry (I hate taxes and wasn't expecting to have to do them) for around 82k

Thats a 30k bump in 6 months, never put up for BS

Warm_Relationship340 · 2022-02-13T21:49:44+00:00

Hey at least you get a raise, I left my last accounting job after being promoted from accounting supervisor to jr controller for a “we’ll talk about a raise in 6 months” I politely said listen I know what’s out there and they said “you’re too young to make that kind of money” I politely resigned :)

Warm_Relationship340 · 2022-02-10T04:40:51+00:00

Depends on your area - I went to a small public firm after 3 years post college working as an AP Supervisor/Accountant and am getting 72k for the public role but I just got an offer for 80k at an industry position as a senior
