Anyone received their cards today..?

Where?


Just noticed applications above and below mine with around the same timeline weren't approved also. Still, got one of the approval notices.

Someone posted a link to an update NILC posted on their website due to all the renewal delays.

Yes, not looking forward to it. Im still debating whether to just send it by mail and try to drive less while
It gets here or just to go to the dmw. Bay area dmw's are always busy.

You should check with your state DMV. Some states allow a short term extension for your driver's license if you provide receipt of your DACA application (I-797C: to show it's in progress).

*Edit: sorry, looks like this does not apply to CA

Greetings,

Guys and gals please keep this spreadsheet current. I think that this is the most effective way to get a sense of just what the heck it is that is going on.

You can provide your daca approval letter as a means of legal presence. I did in my state and renewed my license.

Which state, if i am ask

Wisconsin. Look and see on your dmv website if they accept I-797 notice of action approval letters. I look too.

Apply early. USCIS generally takes four to five months to process DACA renewal applications, but, as we’ve seen with the Nebraska Service Center delays, it can end up taking more like six months. Previously, USCIS did not accept renewal applications submitted more than 150 days before the expiration date on the applicant’s EAD, but that is no longer the case. So if you can, apply early—at least 150 days before your permit expires. Perhaps consider applying 180 days or six months early as long as you’re OK with the possibility that there may be an overlap between the months your current and renewed DACA are valid. It may be worth it, because after all, who needs one more thing to worry about?
