Are the two passport photos actually necessary? I did it last time but I'm not sure it actually helped with anything..

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

It's in the instructions

The adjudicator can fall in love with your looks aiding in a faster approval.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

G33k is correct. I was approved in 35 days, obviously because of my looks.

It's not I-861D, it's I-821D.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Lol, oops.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Packet looks similar to yours except I legally changed my name so I included the change of name form and I didn't include the letter with the barcode rather the Notice of Action and my I-94. So 3 extra pages than required.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

What about the letter of I-797 (the one that official states they granted you DACA)?

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

I didn't include it. Only the I-797 for my work authorization.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Which one is the I-797 for work authorization? The biometric appointment date letter we received?

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

No. The letters are printed on fancy paper. You received two: One for your deferred action and the other for your work authorization. It should look something like the sample below except under case type it should say I-765.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

I don't have one for I-765 (work authorization). I only received one for I-821D (DACA). You sure we received one for I-765? I did get my EAD.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Yes, you should have received two, because you submitted two applications.

Anyways, USCIS isn't requesting them.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

For form I-765, question 11, for "Results (granted or denied - attach all documentation)" seems to be requiring you to do so.

Is weird I do not have my work authorization letter...I only received my DACA approval letter. I guess I will just send them a copy of my DACA approval letter (I'm assuming with the copy of my EAD should be suffice).

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

The front and back copy of your EAD should be enough documentation to prove you were granted. And yeah I also only got one of those "fancy" approval letters. For my DACA, my EAD just came attached to a paper stating my A# and barcodes and stuff.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

"To receive an e-Notification when your forms have been accepted, complete Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance and clip it to the front of the Form I-821D."

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

I thought it was the paper that literally came with the EAD card. You know, the paper where the card was glued to. That paper has 3 bar codes. I dint know it was this paper.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Do you staple the i-821d together since its more than 1 page or just use paper clips?

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Exactly! That paper is called "mailer" and I am making a copy of that paper and attaching it to my renewal packet.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

PLEASE DO NOT STAPLE!!

Avoid using heavy-duty staples; instead use ACCO fasteners or heavy clips.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Ill send both papers just to be sure. Should I deliver my packet via USPS tomorrow Saturday?

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Yes, USPS offices are opened on Saturdays.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Where does it say attach photos? I've been looking but don't see it.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

I765 instructions.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Thanks found it. Page 7 section C.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Are you guys writing anything on the memo field of the check or on the back?

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

I wrote my full name, DOB, and A-Number. Do not write anything on the back.

You can get your A-Number from the EAD mailer (the one with the bar codes).

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

I don't think you need to be that formal with this renewal process compared to the initial application. All they want is the required info and the check/money order for $465 it is I believe.

Edit: This was meant to be for the cover letter thread.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Is anyone planning to send a yearly summary of a credit card statement (or similar) just incase? They dont seem to ask about proving continued presence but would suck to get an RFE about it.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Nope. They are not asking for any evidence. The only documentation they are pretty requiring is a copy of your EAD.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

I need help!! I just saw that there's a thread with the question that I'm about to ask but no one seems to be answering (well, it did get one reply but I just want to be sure).

Question # 11 on i765 "Which USCIS office?"

Which address did you guys put? The lockbox address you mailed your DACA package to or the one where your EAD was mailed from?

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

No. Put the Service Center from where you received your DACA/EAD. It's on the Notice of Action you received.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Got it!! Thank you!

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Do we need to include any calculations/supporting documentation for I-765ws?

It asks for annual income, annual expenses, and assets, but I don't know if I included any spreadsheets for that last time.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

Nope.

PS. Hi!

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

do we need to include the w-2 tax return,

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

No. They are not asking for any evidence. Just a copy of your EAD.

Re: What your Renewal Packet should consist of
 

On the I-765WS what do you have to put for assets? I remember this form being so abstract last time, I forget what the best thing to do is.
