Official DACA RENEWAL Process Time Thread! - Page 26

Today I received a letter from the CA DMV requesting additional "satisfactory proof that (my) presence in the United States has been extended or reauthorized by federal law", before they will issue a renewal in a few months when my DACA expires. Anybody else get this in the mail? For those that haven't and who were approved around the same time as me, keep an eye out for one of those in the mail; you will get one.

For those of you that have sent in your renewal are you also sending in the little receipt we received with our work permit? If so was it routed to the same place? I want mine to stay in California. lol.

I got the letter as well.

I got a letter from the DMV telling me that I had to retake the written and eye exams before renewing my license. It didn't mention anything about bringing in my EAD.

Hmm. Maybe I should wait to renew my license? It doesn't expire until September.

I would not like to retake the written.

I would not like to retake driving test...that means I have to drive like an old lady.

I received a letter saying I had to take my EAD to renew it and didn't say anything about re taking the test. Im in California. I will read the letter again when i get home and post it up for you guys.

I would not like to go to the DMV ever again. I guess I'll just wait to renew my license until I get my new EAD.

Speaking of which, how long do you guys think the renewal process time is gonna be?
One week?
Two weeks?
Three weeks?

Did you have a ticket o got pull over?

So! I had my Biometrics almost a week ago, it's probably taken me all of these 6 days to stop fuming about it. I went on my scheduled date, didn't do a walk-in. Got through security fine, I went into the building with my letter, DL, and car keys and left everything else in the car so I could go through the scanner faster.

I got to the check in desk, and the guy asked for my letter and DL. I show it to him and then he asks, Do you have your passport? I said no. He asked if I had my EAD, I said no. He asked why not, and I told him the letter says to bring one form of ID, and that's what I brought. So he goes, Yeah well... [Silence from me]... If you're coming here you might wanna bring all your immigration paperwork.

Which, excuse me? The letter says one form of ID, so that's all I'm bringing. I told him what the letter said again and he tried to get all difficult saying if he couldn't find me in the system he would have to *send me home* to get my other stuff. He looked me up and FOUND ME, then he made me put my fingerprint on a sticky note [pfff] and then let me go through. I had to do the whole "I'm sorry" schtick because I got the feeling he was about to send me home on a whim. But grr!

The good thing that came out of that is that we sent my brother (who's on a Mormon mission in California) his EAD just in case the same thing happened. He said they did ask him for it, and that the person who did the security to get into the office was "a douche." So it's not so smooth sailing with this renewal was far as the biometrics (at least for me and my brother), but it's all done now. We sent my brother his EAD via UPS (we had to get it overnight bc his appointment was a couple days later) and it was almost $60. Sheesh!
