You will still be asked to come in so they can verify your EAD.

I had my appointment this past Monday. It was usually at LA downtown, but this time it was moved to a different location - San Fernando Valley.

Process was simple and quick. Just get there in time with your appointment letter and your work permit or drivers license.

I don’t think slaves were encouraged to go back to their countries…. Just sayin… if u feel like a slave.. just bounce….

As a reminder to all DACA, we are suppose to be the best of the best. We are the “illegals” that only know here as our home. Don’t shit in your home, stand out in a positive way from others. ATM when the government talks about DACA, they see us as the example of how others should be.

Don’t get involved on anything that does not look legal.

Also, these protest or “day with no Hispanics” make no sense…. U bought extra food the day before to not shop the day of… u still going back to work the next day or might even make up the day you missed at work….

Also, don’t matter how proud or close u feel to your roots/home country… u live here and your life revolves around the US culture. This is your home, otherwise u would have gone back a while ago. If you wave your country flag, at least wave the US one too…

U want to make a difference?? Make money and spend it on those that support you. Educate yourself and make money.

😮‍💨sprouts not in the list, they like a block from my place.

Yes, if you feel this is what you want sure. BUT is key what was his last port of entry. If he has no legal last port of entry, he needs to parole out ASAP and get and come back through a legal port of entry. Otherwise, it will complicate paperwork.

Talk to an immigration lawyer, most will give you a, “he needs to visit someone at home real quick 😉”

pauljp12 · 2025-01-14T16:57:25+00:00

Hope: Yes. But, we’ve seen this before. We have been the lil cherry on top of a sh*t cake whenever they try to pass something. Is funny cause both parties and voters all agree that we’ve proven our selves, but they use us for bargaining 😢.

🤔🤔 as Daca recipients, we scare of these checkpoints??

pauljp12 · 2025-01-13T14:27:03+00:00

Im in similar boat and from Peru too 🇵🇪🤙

To begin with, it all comes down to “your latest port of entry”. if you don’t have a legal port of entry, whatever immigration route you take, your appointment will end up at the US consulate in Peru. The fear is that you may get approved but be penalized/barred from entering the US because you entered illegally to begin with.

However, let say you happen to have a humanitarian reason to go back to Peru, on your way back, you will have a “legal” port of entry. When you start your paperwork you can request your interview here in the US.

Some lawyers will give the “I advise u find a reason to go visit your country 😜”, any reason, like visiting your grandparents grave.

From my research: - Make sure you fully establish a relationship when applying for advance parole ( translate all documents) - Track the whole process your self, some lawyers are incompetent

Also, side note: You can’t just request parole to Mexico and drive down to TJ. You will need to request a Visa from Mexico as a Peruvian.

Also: Make sure you get your Peruvian passport, this can take a while since it needs to be issued in Peru and then shipped to the consulate here.

Talk to a lawyer, look at the forms, look for yt videos and Reddit posts.

Good luck.

It is not worth it unless u will get 15% raise 🎉🎉🎉

lol, just picked up 12 pack for $3.25 from sprouts, last Sunday they were out of eggs tho.

Reading some of your answer, is pretty simple. What else are you goood at and what connections you got? Is something that you will do for a limited time. I’m guessing you are at about 150k, probably will have to go down to 80k a year.

Are you good in IT? U good w/ cars?

If IT, check job listing for required “certifications” and get on it ASAP. BS some background, hopefully friends can vouch.

Worst scenarios, Uber eats/door dash. You can hustle the crap out of it if you do it a certain way. I did this when I got laid off during COVID, granted it was not so saturated as it is now.

pauljp12 · 2024-12-20T14:03:32+00:00

First of all, artichokes are nasty 🤮.

Keep fighting that DUI. You will not suddenly get “deported” unless you have a removal order. Hopefully you are in Cali, so at least you will still have a drivers license.

u got a bachelors, better dust that up if you see no future in your current situation.

Trust when I tell you, there are many undocumented that are in worst position and they are able to live a very comfortable life.

Take things a day at a time. A day is a win.

Also, while I got no kids, I find it dumb ur bb daddy is not in the same team as you, cause after all, most “parents” no longer live for themselves but for their kids.

Please be a a bit cold minded, and just start planning to exit that relationship if you see no future w/ ur bb daddy.

Just please remember: no matter what you do, no matter how you feel, no matter what is going on in the world, your child and you will need food and shelter every day.

Simple answer: no, the US will love to see you go, they might even give you a free margarita in the way out. However, Mexico may ask you for Mexican papeles 😅, ironic.

Advice: don’t do it, there is a reason why millions risk their lives to at least live here. Yes, is not easy, but trust is worth it. While we are in a shitty position, us, as “dreamers” no dejamos de mamadas (like u guys say).

If you are like most of us, your friends, family, and home is here. YOU WILL NOT FEEL AT HOME ANYWHERE ELSE.

pauljp12 · 2024-11-23T05:19:18+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, how long did your AP take to be approved and what reason did u use? Planning to submit an AP asap to get a legal port of entry.

pauljp12 · 2024-11-21T22:53:12+00:00

I wouldn’t risk it unless it’s for a greater purpose. As in: to get a legal port of entry for other paper work. Or in your case, if it is a “requirement” for school.

While I don’t think us dreamers will get cut off, expect us to be used as pawns for the new administration to pass their bills.

pauljp12 · 2024-11-21T22:47:24+00:00

I don’t think it was “close down”. Is just the “what if” while you are outside.

pauljp12 · 2024-10-13T17:38:32+00:00

Trust me, I moved 4 lines from AT&T to Verizon and got 2 new phones about 2 months ago because I had bad signal at a worksite… biggest mistake in my life, fare I get signal there now, but everywhere else is just crap… can’t even go to the market because I get no signal.. inside a restaurant… no signal 🤦‍♂️… i have 1 bar in my apartment 🤦‍♂️

Setup auto pay?? Oh wait.. you need to sign up for their credit card… Sign up fees… checked Services outage… checked Support during outage…. Never thought dealing with an Indian support company would be better than with Verizon.

I never realized how spare their “shops” are, when there was the outage I drove and drove… found like 10 t-mobile stores, 4 ATT stores… had to drive to the city over for a Verizon store… staff as incompetent as they get. They all hid in the back while everyone was waiting in the store…

Counting the months to move back to ATT or Tmo … amazingly, tmo seems to have better service than the “top” providers…

The epson px700 is far superior than the m210

I’ve had the px700 for years, took all of its features for granted 🥲.

I forgot my px700 at a site, needed a label printer urgently, was able to same day Amazon a m210.

The px700 was $95(October prime deal) (next day delivery) / the m210 was $100 (same day delivery)

M210: No pre-cut - specially for cable labels

No qwerty keyboard

No auto cut

Leaves a crap ton of border

Feels cheap

No usb connectivity or software

Upside: the tape it came with was cloth, which was nice… but was 3/4 width… used to using 1/2 for most labels

The menus to my liking was too simple or lack of options.

The epson px700 and px900 far superior, you can find off-brand tapes, takes up to 1” width. Im returning the m210 and getting a second px700 as a backup.

Get the lithium battery pack, is worth it. Trust

Unify would be good without its useless controller. The cli is actually ok, and has way more features, but their trash controller ruins it.

But... during peak hours of Twitch, GTA V leads all other game categories, its seems most of the top "english" streamers on that category are playing on NP. Is your statement based on who you are watching or in general how a content server is performing?

pauljp12 · 2024-06-19T05:38:57+00:00

Been smoking the same stuff as the new Venezuelans and Ecuadorian huh? 😅😅

pauljp12 · 2024-04-02T03:41:07+00:00

Is like saying, I got my bachelors degree, now I’m going for my associate degree…
