Question about DACA Amnesty

[JFox762 18]

Ok, I don't want this to devolve into a political debate, because I know darn well there are passionate opinions on all sides. 

I am currently petitioning for my wife. I know that with all immigration debate going on in Congress/Senate, that there is a possibility that DACA amnesty/path to citizenship might be on the table. I am not going to say whether I am for, nor against it. My question is, how will this affect those of us who are already petitioning for someone (like Spouses/Fiance, etc)? If millions of people are given amnesty, and path to citizenship... isn't this going involve a sudden rush of Dreamers to submit petitions or waivers or whatever with USCIS? Wouldn't such an amnesty bill create a huge instantaneous increase in the workload for an already strained USCIS... which would result in even longer processing times for the rest of us?

I know this is a very selfish question to ask.... but I just want to know if such an amnesty bill would have any effect on processing times.... because honestly they are already really bad. =(

Ok now I'm going to hide in my bomb shelter, since I know that inspite of my attempts to be as gentle with this topic as I can... I'm sure SOMEONE will hate on me.

Of course this will lead to increased timelines across the board due to the added workload on everybody. You saw this as well after Trump was elected is that a lot of people applied for things like citizenship in order to become a USC and avoid having a green card anymore.

Exactly!

 

I had put off applying for citizenship... until he was elected, and it spooked me.

 

I was also one semester short of an undergraduate degree, in a college where all degrees are signed by the president of the United States. When he was elected, I went to my registrar to ask if my 100+ credits would still be valid if I put off my education for 4 years (and possibly 8), because I had no intention of taking home a degree signed by that individual. I ended up almost killing myself taking independent study courses (in addition to already existing courses for Fall 2016 semester), in order to meet requirements that I had planned for Spring 2017, and graduate in December 2016. But it was worth it, my degree has the 44th's signature.

So I think that the advanced workload is already established.  Everyone has already seen the impact with the increased processing times for EAD/AP card for AoS.  I do not believe it will get any worse, as anyone who was concerned about new immigration policies would have taken immediate action, waiting until 3 weeks before DACA expires to apply for another deferral and EAD is just foolish to the Nth degree.  Keep in mind DACA does not have anything to do with receiving a greencard or VISA, so once things like K1s leave them for NVC and State, processing should be normal.

I truly have my sympathy towards Daca Recipients but people who came here legally should be given priority first. I will have my ROC window open this year and my employer already told me I need to have a permanent  green card before my conditional one expires. With current situation I highly doubt I am going to get my permanent green card anytime soon.  People who came down here legally should be given first priority then DACA recipients. I am planning for kids and need to have permanent green card on time to sustain my job so I can support my family financially. no hate towards daca people just its a stressful situation.

ok this is not related to the topic but the degree is signed by the president of the university, not the president of the united states!

 

edit: ok i could be wrong. but really, diplomas are signed by the president? don't they have more important things to do with their time than sign diplomas?

Would you care to specify which university has undergrad degrees signed by Trump?

There is a college in the United States, actually, whose patron is the President of the United States, whoever that may be at any given time. I believe there are two such colleges, I may be wrong, but the college where I earned by BS... all its college degrees are signed by the President of the United States, in his/her capacity as Patron.

You didn't have to put off applying for citizenship.  Instead you decided to stage a mini protest of the legally elected President of the United States.....smh

I can only image the outrage if someone had done the same to avoid the signature of the 44th.......
