Official daca process time thread

[Moizy]

This thread's purpose is to show the process times we have received for our applications. This will better assist someone in the future when they apply for DACA.

_____________________
Use the following format:

Date Application Sent -
The Lockbox the application was sent to -
Mailing Method (Express, priority, certified) etc. -
Date delivered -
Date acceptance letter of application received -
Date of I-797 C Notice of Action (Application Approved) -
Date Biometrics scheduled -
Date of EAD received -

_____________________


That should pretty much be it. As we go along and receive information, we should take time to edit our posts to better help others and also come to a conclusion as a group on what the estimated process time could be. Of course the process time is dependent on a individual's case, almost all of us here have pretty much the same situations.

Hey let me ask you, There were two possible lockbox addresses to send this two. one of them said something "express"
where do you send it? Am still confuse over this.

[VJB2]

Where did you guys get the I-797 C form? It looks like whoever maintains the USCIS website for that section forgot to add their link and instead has a local link from the computer they created the page from: FILE:\\C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\jjtorres\Local%20Settings\Temporary%20Internet%20Files\Content.Outlook\OESEL7TS\1797C%20Front.pdf



Oops! on them.

isn't there only 3 forms you have to send?
i821d, g1145, i765, and i765ws?

This is what an I-797 C Notice of Action is. (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=9d4f068d9c456310VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD)

[VJB2]

I understand that, but if you try to download that form from the site, it gives an error because it's not linked to an actual form... instead, it's linked to the file in the computer whichever person created that page used.

[Ettie]

You don't need to have the I-797 C Notice of Action nor do you have to download it. They send it to you. (Maybe I'm not understanding your question).

[Moizy]

I understand that, but if you try to download that form from the site, it gives an error because it's not linked to an actual form... instead, it's linked to the file in the computer whichever person created that page used.

Because it is not a form. It is essentially a letter that USCIS sends you saying if you're approved, rejected or request for evidence.

Within that letter, USCIS wants you to fill out certain things needed on your part for the process to continue. Or they may want you to do something instead of filling something out. I've never had one but I've seen them.

from http://www.uscis.gov/i-821d


Where to File :

Where you file depends on your state of residence; check our Filing Addresses for Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals for the correct mailing address.


Form I-765's instructions refer you back to I-821D's website. You'll always want to check the forms' websites.

[IcanOnlyDream]

I think it would also help if you include your location. For instance, if you live in Chicago and sent it to Chicago then it would go faster than others like myself who lives in Virginia.

Ugh the lady lied! I keep checking the tracking status, it's 3PM and it hasn't been delivered yet. /goes crazy.

[faaya]

I just checked the tracking for the application. I mailed it express and it was guaranteed to be there before 12. It's currently says "Arrival at Unit." It is well passed 12 at my location and in Chicago- Can we get our money back ;)?

[Ettie]

Haha. Mine says "Notice left (No authorized recepient available). Ugh.

[Hope]

Haha. Mine says "Notice left (No authorized recepient available). Ugh.

Mine was delivered at 10:22am in Texas. I sent it express. It was most likely because I live in Florida.

[Ettie]

Mine was sent to the Chicago Lockbox. Did you waive the signature? I definitely didn't.

I hope it gets delivered and signed tomorrow, at least.

[faaya]

I sent mine to Chicago too. Was yours delivered?
I didn't waive the signature because the USPS worker told me not to because it's important for what I'm sending (I think he knew what was going on)

[Hope]

Mine was sent to the Chicago Lockbox. Did you waiver the signature? I definitely didn't.

I actually waved the signature just in case, but it was signed regardless.

Nope, mine wasn't delivered because no one could sign it. Seems silly.. didn't they anticipate a bunch of us wanting confirmation that it was delivered?

[faaya]

As I submitted my last post I got an email with the proof of delivery and delivery confirmation. It was delivered at 12:21 pm.

The process has begun, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

our delivered time is same! :D

[nydreamer]

We all have the same, they tried at 11:31 then again at 12:21, which is when this JC signed.

What I am wondering now, is, when will we get an update or something?

[DreamBaybeh]

I'm not that surprised at how many people sent their stuff in on the first day, but don't you think they're more likely to mess up your app if you're one of the first? You're kind of the guinea pigs and they might be more strict and picky about stuff idk idk- I think I'm gonna wait another week or so. Until they get the hang of things.

See the thing is, they're probably getting so many applications already that most packets wont even be open for another couple of days, possibly weeks. if thats the case, you don't have any need to worry.

[ASTROBOY]

hi there , was reading your post and im glad you sent your application already im having some trouble , i dont know where to send the applications and i wasnt aware of sending pictures could you please tell me the steps you did ????:sad:

[star293]

What I am wondering now, is, when will we get an update or something?

u attached the g-1145 form right? if you did, u will get a notification from uscis through ur email saying that it has been accepted.

Or they'll be more lenient because they don't know really what they're doing. To be honest, I don't think it'll be a huge difference. For me sending it in now just got a huge load off my shoulders.

[Ettie]

If you filled out G-1145, you'll probably get an email when they open up your packet. As far the actual acceptance/processing.. we only know like, 3-4 months for the EAD. No idea on the deferred action grant.

[DREAM@UCLA]

Hi so for all you guys who already applied, what did you write for Education Requirements? (Form I821)

I am currently attending a university, do I write my university information or high school?

"Basado en nuestra experiencia con el TPS, nosotros nunca empezamos el mismo día. Esto es un proceso nuevo que inmigración no tiene la experiencia. La experiencia con el TPS es que en los primeros días ahogaron el sistema. Los que entraron luego salían más rápido que los enviados primero. Basados en ello, le hemos recomendado a nuestra gente que aguante hasta el sábado. Creemos que es una decisión sabia".

"Based on our experience with TPS, we never begin (processing forms) on the same day. This is a new process that immigration has no experience with.

We all have the same, they tried at 11:31 then again at 12:21, which is when this JC signed.

What I am wondering now, is, when will we get an update or something?

Mine was delivered at the same time too! The guy must've gotten tired from signing all our packages, his handwriting was messy on mine lol We will probably go to the next step around the same time!!!

Who knows... my app will get there tomorrow so I am not concerned, at all. Plus in my situation an extra month or two of wait is a negligible period.

I sent it on 8/18 as well but chose Priority mail because the lady said it'd get delivered on Monday anyway so there was no point paying more money for Express. =/ But I'm so excited lol! XD I'm also refreshing the tracking system nonstop hahaha :PPP Go Dreamersss!~~~

Aha, I see! I guess I've made a generous contribution to the USPS (which is currently in a tremendous deficit) lol. Hope they use my $20 wisely. Let me know when it gets delivered! Our packages are traveling together (hopefully!)

I'm really hoping it'll take 3-4 months for us. I know that's being a bit optimistic, but having an EAD by Christmas/New Year's would be awesome!

[bigdreams92]

I really think it won't take 4 months.

[hithere]

I really think it won't take 4 months.

Do you think it'll be more or less than 4 months?

[bigdreams92]

Do you think it'll be more or less than 4 months?

My gut is telling me definitely less than 4 months if is a straight forward case.

[newyorker]

Do you think it'll be more or less than 4 months?

I hope its not more than 4 months (so I'll have EAD by the end of 2012) but bureaucracy pretty much moves at a snail's pace and considering the flood of applications expected...who the hell knows.. :(

[jsar8]

This is just a guess, but I think it will be 4 months. I usually have precognitive dreams and I had one with a 4 and a 28 so thats my guess.

what does the 28.... stand for then?

Could be 4 months 28 days.

Oh wow, they left it at the door? That's very strange for an Express Mail. What's the purpose of sending via Express to get a signature if they will just leave it at the door? =/ That's silly. Hopefully the people at the USCIS got it though, maybe they were out to lunch at that time XD . You could always try calling the USPS facility in Chicago to see what's the deal with that. =/ Idk.

After that, they did end up delivering it at 12;39. which seems to makes sense bc other people did get their JC signatures at 12:39pm.. but it seems like it bounced from the door back to 60604 before getting to 60603. haha. ..... any long as its there. :)
Oh and my bad. it DID NOT say Left at Door. *yikes!* lol It just said Notice Left (No Authorized Recipient Available). Then at 12:39. it was "delivered." :)

I did as well!! : D

also sent it on the 16th! YAY!

I was really hoping it would go to Texas service center or the california service center...but it didn't happen....In my past experiences with USCIS(lots of experience, I should say), and the ones I have read, that the Nebraska Service Center is the slowest to process the applications...but lets hope I am wrong on this one :D.....also guys since our application has been transferrred to a service center, I think it's best that we put the service center name on our signature so we know who is processing the applications faster....

No one said it is an application approval or deferred action has been granted... It is an application acceptance.. Which means it contains all the documents necessary to be processed...

We still need to wait to hear back from the Nebraska service center to get the appointment for biometrics, which will come about next week for my case... and also wait for any RFE(Requests for Evidence) they might inquire.. hopefully none for me...

You are saying exactly what I pointed out. Your previous post, however, contradicts what we are both getting at. You stated that the I-797C notice is of application approval. I stated that it is not application approval, but simply acceptance/receipt.

Nope- Not Chase, but I suspect this is happening with quite a few people. There's just no way to cash thousands of checks at the same time. Rest assured, I'm sure they will cash it soon

I must add that I almost got a heart attack. I have been reading the email responses and they say approved. Well I got 2 texts right now (before I saw the emails) and they only said my case had been received. I was like, did I not get accepted? Omg I freaked out. But yes, texts say receive and emails say accepted in case anyone freaks out like me.

[Big_Daddy]

There's a Texas Service center? Why wouldn't it go there?? That's sooo laaaaameeee....

They said all four of their service centers would be reviewing the applications.(Texas service center, California service center, Nebraska service center, and Vermont service center..and me sending the application from Dallas to Dallas was hoping they would send it to mesquite, tx(20 min from Downtown dallas) where the Texas service center, but I guess they are doing it differently

[MitchAPalooza23]

I remember reading all the EADs are processed in Nebraska. Is this why it seems all the applications are being routed there?

you guys are sleeping. several people have been getting their chicago txts and emails already including me. (no email however)

[Chey00]

Well, I've been noticing that people are getting their Chicago txts/emails. But those people are the ones that sent their application through Express Mail. So I was wondering, what about the Priority Mail people that sent their application to the P.O. Box address? I haven't seen any of those receiving any notifications. So I'm kinda pissed that USCIS is so slow with their P.O. Box people D: not fair! Not my fault it was saturday when I decided to send my application and the lady convinced me to just do Priority instead of Express cuz it would arrive on the same date anyway D: GRRR NEVER LISTEN TO USPS LADIES, they're evil I tell ya! -.-'' Okay I'm done ranting xD

[ferchor2]

i sent my app to the Chicago p.o box... sent it the 16, still no respond. i only send them my email, no phone number...

[newyorker]

Express mail FTW

[pakapoa]

grrrrrh!!!! okay this is for fun

i didn't get email notification and am one of the ealier senders. infact by 10am according to USPS tracking on the 16th my packet was there. but on the 17th they had already cashed the check.

It's going to take a few days for them to send you the confirmation that they received it. They are barely on the one's that got send on August 15-August 16 i think... Wait a few days. It will probably take 1 week for each date. thats my guess.

for example
August 15-16 they started getting their notifications this week.
August 17- My guess is that they will start with those next week. and so on..

797 just confirms that they received your application and all info they needed was filled out and money order / check was the right amount. Now the biometrics date will be given and then USCIS officer will review application.

The 797 everyone is referring to is the text / email send to them. The actual 797 may have biometrics date with it

I'm really confused my lawyer has filled the application online. Now he says that he is sending me papers to sign and to send along money order and passport pictures along with papers signed back to him so he can send everything in..

you could send them yourself, but if your lawyer is competent they will ask for them back to make sure everything is correct/included. UPS is not USPS, I'd say most people are mailing them through the latter.

There is no need for confusion, first of all you could have done everything yourself and sent the application yourself, but since you are already paying a lawyer to do it he will take care of it. The process you are going through will prolong your wait time and save you 5-10 hours you would waste by gathering everything in which you have already and filled out the forms.

I think he meant he filled in adobe reader pdf format and send the file to your email so that you can printout forms and sign on them. At thi spoint, he does not mean e-file to USCIS, but fill in pdf format. So do not worry. He will take care of them.

you get two I-797C 's. One for form I-821D and another for form I-765. (just like you got two emails with two case numbers)

The I-797C just confirms receipt and acceptance of the petition. NOTE: Acceptance is NOT approval. They are two different things.

The form tells you everything is received and the next step is biometrics and that you will get another letter in the mail with the appointment to go and get the biometrics done. I am still waiting for that one.

From the uscis.gov/childhoodarrivals "Filing Process" section

"After your Form I-821D, Form I-765, and Form I-765 Worksheet have been received, USCIS will review them for completeness, including submission of the required fee, initial evidence and supporting documents. If it is determined that the request is complete, USCIS will send you a receipt notice. USCIS will then send you an appointment notice to visit an Application Support Center (ASC) for biometric services. Please make sure you read and follow the directions in the notice. "

To me that means that at least they feel that most evidence was submitted accordingly. The head guy for USCIS for AZ and NV said that if it was received incomplete that they would return the whole packet back and not issue a notice. Disclaimer here, I am not a lawyer, but from what he says to some incomplete apps slipping thru the initial cracks would not be surprising.

Too happy, "Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS Nebraska Service Center for processing. Within 7-10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number"

Sent 8/15, they received 8/17, got this message on email-text 8/23. Happy cause my dumbass sent it to the wrong P.O. box number (but correct location).

BTW, does this mean my money order check was cashed...
