Hello everybody,

I'm new to this forum, and I have some questions. I hope somebody can help me figure this out because I am running out of time but I feel helpless. Well, here goes...
When USCIS released the renewal for for I-821D back in June I freaked out because it had timeframes for how long it would take to process those forms, and my current DACA papers expire in October. As soon as the forms came out I began to fill them out (I-821D and I-765), and by the mid June I had already mailed the forms and they had already received them. When I go to the USCIS page to check the status of my case, it says that the forms were received on the 16th of June (which unfortunately is less than 120 days).

About a month later I received the letter that says for you to do the biometrics, and that happened sometime around the 11th of July. I have not heard anything from USCIS about my application. It is still under the "Initial Review" step when I check my case status.

I have 2 other family members who are also under DACA and filed for renewal. It is important to note that they filed and their papers were accepted at a later date than mine (also their current DACA status expires about a week after mine). About a week ago their renewal cases were accepted and their documents were sent.

Here we are a week later. My current DACA status expires on October 9th and my case has not been either approved or denied.

Here's my questions:
I currently have two jobs and I am a full time student. This was not the case during the time of filing the forms, seeing as the fall semester had not started and I had not been offered the opportunity to work. My question is the following. Will I be terminated from both of my jobs once October 9th comes if USCIS hasn't reached a decision yet?

Would it make a difference to my case if I scheduled an appointment to present new evidence that I have two jobs at the moment?

I read on the USCIS page for form I-821D that they can grant temporary status to those people who filed with at least 120 days of anticipation before their current DACA status expires. I know I didn't file within 120 days before expiration but it could not be done since the renewal forms were not out yet. Is there any chance that they might grant me temporary status until they reach a decision, just so that they don't terminate my employment?

Is anybody else finding themselves in this particular situation where they filed as soon as the forms came out and they still have not reached a decision on their case?

Please help!!

Thanks to those who take the time to read this.
