Still Pending.... about to expire
 

This makes me feel a little better about my case. I have been extremely stressed out over the past two weeks. When I filled a renewal 2 years ago. I received my card just two weeks before my expiration date. This is my third renewal and its been going bad.

Date Received: July 5th, 2016
Biometrics: July 25th, 2016
And I am still pending approval currently and my card expires this Sunday Oct. 3oth,

I have been severely depressed and anxious. I am about to have to go on suspension at my job. I have such a good job with great benefits and good pay. My manger is so stressed out too because we are already so short staffed. I work for a Hospital and I am the only one providing for my family and paying my mothers house and bills.

I submitted a service request over the phone last Wed. Oct 19th, and I have called and checked my status everyday. My lawyer even put in an online service request for me today. I am so scared this is going to take longer.

I am currently pending 112 days as of today.

Prayers to all of us fellow dreamers that have to go through this kind of awful stress. May God be with us all in these hard times. I am having trouble sleeping, eating and even started to get physically sick over the amount of stress I am in.

Stay positive, there's so many of us in this boat. I was the lead on a project so you can imagine how my company took it. God knows the struggle. I'm on my 160th day or so and waiting for the card to arrive. Good luck, stick around for some words of wisdom. That's all the this forum can do for you.

I am so sorry to hear about this. I can only imagine everything you have been going through. I pray for good outcome, but this is really so weird. The fact that some wait so long, yet others receive in two months tops.
God help us in this process

Maybe you could see if your manager would allow you to continue working as an unpaid volunteer during your expiration period? If you aren't on payroll then they shouldn't technically get into trouble.
It's also a good idea to prep a backup document that says from your manager that you are suspending from work for a certain duration until your document is updated. Keep this between you and your manager as a just-in-case-of-audit document though.
You can also see if they would be willing to give you a bonus once your files are updated too.

Best of luck and stay positive!

Thank you for the kind words! Any positivity is always greatly appreciated <3

I'm lucky and blessed to still be working. It depends where you are but I gave them the receipt notice and notice from uscis that they're behind and since then I'm still working. Stay positive man. Honestly after my HR let me continue to work I stop caring to check about my status...it's been 139 days. A month after expiration as well

Re: Still Pending.... about to expire
 

I'm in the same boat. Mine expires 11/3. I also happen to work at a hospital as well. At this point I've just accepted that I'm going to take 2-3 months of unpaid leave. It's going to hit me financially but it is what it is.

Stay positive!

Re: Still Pending.... about to expire
 

Mine expires on 11/03 too! App was recieved 7/14. What service center is processing your cases? And have you guys tried submitting a service request?

Re: Still Pending.... about to expire
 

My service center is Nebraska. Haven't heard back since biometrics 7/25/16. Still pending. Yes I filled a SR over the phone last Wednesday the 19th. I am now pending 113 days and still waiting. My lawyer filled an online SR for me yesterday. I will start my leave next Monday. They don't allow me to work at my hospital without my new employment card. But I'm pray for the best and trying to stay positive. Have any of you guys tried getting an extension on your drivers license? I'm from Georgia and thought about asking

Re: Still Pending.... about to expire
 

Mine is processed in NSC as well. I've called and sent an email to NSC. But I don't expect anything from them. I live in Texas and I'm planning to go next week to try get my driver's license extended.
