2023 DACA Renewals: Quick Questionnaire
 

Data is powerful, so let's share some. For those of you that have renewed in the last 4 or so months:

1] Did you renew online or by mail?

2] Did you renew early or roughly on time (around 150 days prior to expiration) or later (less than 150 days prior to expiration)?

3] If you renewed by mail, did you send passport photos?

4] Did USCIS reuse previous biometrics or did you have to go in?

5] How did you pay for your filing fees?

6] Did you split your payment up between the 821D and 765 filing fees (per the new filing language associated with the I-821D application instructions)?
7] Did or are you experiencing any delays in having your renewal approved?

8] Did or are you experiencing any other issues with your renewal?

1) I did it by mail. I saw some posts here about people having trouble with the online service and telling to do mail instead. I got scared and paranoid. I ended up doing it by mail. I'm glad I listened because my stuff was approved timely.

2) Later. Less than 150 day prior to expiration.

3) Yes, I sent new passport pics.

4) They've reused my biometrics.

5) I paid with money orders.

6) Yes, I followed the instructions to the letter. I read them 1000 times to make sure I wouldn't screw up.

7) No delays. Praise Jesus.

8) No. Thank God.

This is a great idea. I've been interested in seeing just how the online renewals benefit us.

I’ve been following Reddit about online apps and it seems most issues have been fixed. I don’t see people having issues with delays. And it seems they’re prioritizing renewals close to expiring rather than acceptance date
