Yes, you could do so until September 2017 when the President ended new applications for DACA. I hope that you did so.

That could be a real problem. Schedule a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney.
What's the reason they asked for that ? Because I have to print out about 1,000+ copies of checks . Thank you

Maybe you could send them a copy of your checking account statement and a few sample checks.

It’s been 1 year and 5months since I applied for asylum. During that period I met my boyfriend, we fell in love, live together and decided to get married this june. My employment authorization will expire this december what’s the best way to change my petition based on marriage?
answered on May 7, 2018
If your boyfriend is a US citizen and you entered the US lawfully, he should immediately sponsor you for a green card after you are married, and you can apply for adjustment of status and for an EAD work permit.
The issue is I turn 21 on the 19th of May, however he intends to file for the green card before then. I was wondering under what category would I fall in. And how long would it take for me to get a green card. Will he be able to file for me at all?
answered on May 7, 2018
Unless he married your mother before your 18th birthday, he cannot sponsor you for a green card. However, once your mother becomes a permanent resident, she will be able to sponsor you for a green card.
I received TPS for El Salvador since it was first issued , but with it ending in September 9, 2019 can I apply for DACA , I meet all the DACA requirements that are asked for.

Possibly. The future of DACA is present in the hands of the Federal Courts. Currently, no new applications are being accepted for DACA, but that could change very shortly.

You need to subtract the amount of time that the EB-3 visa petition was pending from your biological age on the date that the priority date became current. If the result is less than 21 years of age and you never married, you may be able to qualify under CSPA.
