The NSC Liaison Committee asked AILA members for examples of DACA cases pending more than six months. In response to the committee’s call for examples, AILA received over 400 case examples, including over 100 cases that have been pending for more than a year.

The vast majority of the examples AILA received are at the Nebraska Service Center (NSC): 283 have LIN (Nebraska) receipt numbers, and 120 have EAC (Vermont) receipt numbers. Most DACA cases at VSC were transferred to NSC in an August workload transfer. (AILA Doc. No. 13080850.) Only 12 case examples have an SRC (Texas) receipt number, and only 23 have a WAC (California) receipt number.

In over half of the 400 cases shared with AILA, the survey respondents indicated that they were not aware of any unusual circumstances that would explain the slow processing time. Many of the remaining long-pending cases involved one or more of the following circumstances:

The requestor had a criminal history -- numerous cases involved drinking and driving related incidents, juvenile adjudications, gang issues, and drug and theft offenses;
The requestor attended an online school or was homeschooled;
The requestor had previously been in removal proceedings or was in removal proceedings at the time of the DACA request;
The requestor had a petition or an application for other relief pending;
The requestor departed the United States for a considerable period of time either during or prior to the continuous residence period;
The requestor provided what the attorney considered to be a small amount of evidence to support either continuous residence during the relevant period or physical presence on June 15, 2012;
If you have a long-pending DACA case, check to see whether it may fall into one of the above categories. While not always true, these factors may lead to longer processing times. These findings are preliminary, and may not reflect USCIS policy decisions or adjudication trends.

I know some other people have talked about this same thing happening to them, about getting their EAD approved but the I-821D not approved or viceversa. In my case, I have my EAD approved, but not my I-821D.

I received my EAD card on 11/08/12. When I checked online, the I-821D was still under "initial review". I called USCIS before going to get my SSN and they said that with the EAD I was okay to go and get my SNN and license, and that sometimes it takes a while to update my case online and that I shouldn't be worried.

Now, I'm trying to apply at Miami Dade College. In order for me to qualify as a resident to pay in-state tuition, they need a bunch of documents from my mom, utility bills etc. and on top of that, they need my EAD card, the EAD notification from USCIS (which I received before the card came in the mail) and also the notification letter from USCIS about form I-821D, which I haven't received yet.

I'm checking now, and turns out that after a year I'm still under "initial review". I just need the letter to sign up for classes in the spring, apparently the EAD letter and card aren't enough to prove to the college that I'm a DACA student.

Has this happened to any of you? Did you find a way to get USCIS to approve your case or at least mail you a notification letter?

Thanks!!
