What your Renewal Packet should consist of - Page 14

Nice, add your time line to your signature. Go control panel > settings

wait when you say passport photos you mean photos that would fit a passport or the passports themselves? i dont remember the passport being a requirement during my initial request.

You don't need them. I sent mine out without them and I got my biometrics apt next week. They're useless.. They're going to use the pic from your biometrics not a passport photo

I got my renewal biometrics appt. Do you guys think going days early will be fine?

When did you send in your renewal application?

I received this e-mail today. Most of this stuff has been posted already but hopefully this will help some of you guys:

Hi everyone,

I know many of you were not able to attend today’s national call. So I took some notes that hopefully will clarify some issues regarding the DACA renewal process. Please share accordingly. Thank you.

-the revised I-821D (dated 6/4/14) is the only version accepted for both initial and renewal requests for DACA
-for renewals, the only additional evidence required is if the individual traveled outside the U.S. (either with/without an advance parole) or if they were convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanors, or 3 or more misdemeanors
-if an individual changes their address, it is strongly encouraged that they notify USCIS of this change of address by filing either the AR-11 or changing it online at our website
-an individual only has up to one year to file a renewal, if one year has passed and they want to request DACA, they will have to file an initial application and provide ALL of the initial evidence again
-for renewals, you must submit two passport style photos, a photo copy of the previous I-765 (front and back), and on the I-765, individual will mark the 3rd box-Renewal of my permission to accept employment
-the recommended window to file renewals is 120-150 days before expiration date of DACA, should not file earlier than 150 days because application may get rejected
-USCIS will still accept filings less than 120 days, however this individual may lose the ability to work and may start to accrue unlawful presence while the forms are being processed
-there is no automatic extension of work authorization and DACA, however, if the Service is delayed in processing the forms beyond the 4-5 month expected processing time, it may consider granting temporary extension of work authorization and DACA
-anyone who files less than 120 days will not be eligible for this grant of temporary extension of work authorization and DACA

What address am I supposed to send it to? There's to different ones for people living in Georgia.

I don't want to throw anyone off, but I have a feeling they don't need ANY evidence. (unless you have AP and or ice confrontation or arrest records blah blah). But it does quicken the process for them if you have copies of i797 and EAD and so on.

If you notice, there was a huge section on the documents needed for inital DACA:

http://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/co...a#request DACA

For renewals, there was nothing mentioned but:
Additional Documents

Do not submit any additional documents at the time you request renewal unless:

You have new documents involving removal proceedings or criminal history that you did not already submit to USCIS in a previously approved DACA request.



But, just a thought. I still sent everything. You should too.

That only applies for the documentation required for the I-821D. You still need documentation for I-765 - at least it doesn't explicitly say that in the I-765 document like it does for I-821D.

I smiled in my first passport pictures for DACA, and I did it again for renewal.
