@tep31 thanks, we are all in the same boat:)

@tep31 Thanks for you input and contribution in this whole mess that we are all trying to navigate. I just submitted an OPT application, but I think I'm gonna submit an N400 as well, I don't see any downside to it like you suggest.
Keep up the good work.
What your current status in this mess? only if you don't mine sharing.

@tep31 Thanks for replying @tep31 . I was never aware that I as a reservist I could apply for Citizenship prior to shipping to basic. So basically as a MAVNI reservist do you think it is more appropriate to submit a N400 application instead of applying for DA?
Now if they process it or not is a another thing.

@bale How did your DA application turned out? Did you submit for I-821D with your application? Does one have to wait for DA approval first before submitting I-765?

@paulmilan How did your DA application turned out? Did you submit for I-821D with your application? Why didn't you submit your form I-765 concurrently with your DA application, do you have to wait for DA approval first?

@tep31 Is the USCIS still accepting N400? If you are a Reserve Pre-BCT can you submit N400 application?
Anyone?

@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.

Does anyone know if an enlisted MAVNI awaiting for BCT can apply for Deferred Action prior to the expiration of F1 status, (like 30 days prior). I search, and call all over the place, including the USCIS no one could give me an answer.
Also, if you have been successful applying for DA please briefly list the documents submitted and the step by step process.
I'm Married and planning on filing one application for both of us if possible.
Advice Please.
Thanks in Advance.
