  @vp88781 Yes, the army used to discharge people who got the NDM status. But now there is a lawsuit going on and the army stopped discharging them. you can check the new updates here, http://dcfederalcourtmavniclasslitigation.org/calixto_updates/.

  @sujit I'm sorry to hear that. I applied over a year ago, did biometrics and I have not received any information.

  I did a walk-in at my local USCIS application center with my CAC card last week. They were very friendly and helpful.

  @kyle37 Thanks, I really hope that it is a matter of time, there is no reason that the US military deprives itself from such opportunity to have well edcuated soldiers and with critical skills among its people

  @tep31 thanks for providing some information regarding DA. I'm also aware of the info provided above, yet on the documents provided by the USCIS for DA, it doesn't not mention Army Reserve soldiers are not required to file for DA. At least I was not able to find it anywhere. The whole thing is a little vague. For instance by "not required" do they mean DA is optional AR soldiers or if you apply it will not be granted? What about Reserve MAVNI soldiers family members? What about work authorization for Reverse soldiers that have financial hardship if you don't have DA, can you apply for it anyway? See, I'm not necessarily asking you these questions, but I'm just outlining how loose the terms are. They almost make it impossible to navigate this whole thing without an immigration attorney. If anyone has been through the DA process, please let me know how it went and what you did, specially if you file for I-821D. I-821D which is specifically the form for DACA is not mention in the list of document to submit when applying for DA as MAVNI.

  @ketan.dosi I had a valid status with an approved I-797 when I applied. I believe it is okay as long as the approved I-797 is not expired.

  @Spawno Yes, I am going to post more details about my journey. I heard yesterday that MAVNI program is officially closed. :sob: I am sorry that you did not make it. You must be disappointed a lot... I don't know how to encourage you because it is such a shocking news. I understand how It could impact life's decisions significantly. But keep your head up. There will be other opportunities. Stay strong! Just for future reference, you will have a eye counsel and the doctor submits a waiver with your results. Then they decided whether to approve your wavier or not. That could take 2 weeks to months. Once the waiver is approved, you are good to go. You go to the MEPs and enlist. When signing my contract, I had only two MOSs available for me. One was located far from where I live. So I had to choose 12K, which is plumber. Since I am an engineer, I think I will enjoy fixing and building pipes. I wish you best of luck.
