Slower Renewal Times - Page 4

So I have been worried about getting my employment card on time since I only submitted it a couple of months in advance this time around. I was dealing with some personal stuff and completely forgot to submit it 3-4 months before like usually do.

Long story short I submitted my renewal application online on February 21 with an expiration of early May 2024. So I would have been in a lot of trouble at work probably having to wait an extra 1-2 months to get my card.

My case was approved on April 1. This has been the quickest turnaround for me ever and it all started by submitting everything online for the first time this year. I wonder if the online process expedited the process this time around? Regardless I got the message that my case is approved and my card is being printed and sent over.

I’m over 160 days and still waiting for renewal nothing new that would have caused my case to be delayed. I call and all they say is to wait. Online filing didn’t make it any faster instead it’s the longest I’ve ever waited for it.

it does not mention daca specifically so I am not sure if it will apply to us.

As usual, DACA category C33 is bottom of the barrel and is not considered for automatic extension. I just hope these measures they are taking free up some time for them and they can clear the DACA renewal backlog

my renewal has never gone past 2 weeks at maximum done both offline and online, that said i have never changed the address since i first applied.

maybe that has something to do with it?

My EAD expiry date is June 7th, 2024

I just sent my renewal online a few days ago and i just randomly checked my status today and it showed my card is being produced and sent to me.

That's insanely fast if you ask me. 2 years ago when i did it online, it took at least 2 to 3 weeks for some sort of activity.

I guess whatever they did to speed up the process with the Migrant situation really is helping.

Did you apply online or through mail?

Wow, it is insane how arbitrary there Renewal times work, there are people that have been waiting for 5 months!


Anyways, congrats!

I submitted my renewal on March 12 and my EAD is expiring on July 19th.

The currently processing time for DACA renewal is now 3.5 month BUT the processing time for I-765 that's concurrently filed with DACA is 6.5 months. Even if DACA was approved, I was told my application was still within the processing time of the I-765. I'm really depressed right now since my company is definitely going to lay me off if I don't have the new card.
