Are Daca Approvals taking longer for anyone else???? - Page 2

I looked at USCIS's historical processing data tables - everything has tripled or quadrupled in processing time from 2024, even though Trump has actually controlled the border. Go figure.

new recent ruling pushes EADs to take LONGER than 180 days, these scum Venezuelans fked it up even for us.

do it now, EADS about to skyrocket in waiting times with the new ruling. next time you see a Venezuelan thank him/her for that.

It is possible to have your application rejected for applying too early. I am not sure if they will enforce that policy because of the backlogs.

Has anyone's application been rejected for applying too early?

Just a couple of notes based on what I am seeing:

- It looks like the average approval time is around 105 -110 days, but there are a few extreme cases where it took over 150 days. Some September applications are being processed.

- Based on the most recent approvals, they have just started working on the application from the first week of November.

- Most people are applying between the 145 - 150 day mark.

There is delay accross the board for employment authorization, yes, mainly due to the people who arrived during Biden's presidency.

On top of it, those who arrive to claim asylum DO NOT PAY for EAD processing. I did not know that. The more we find out, the more that the situation looks suspect about the millions and millions of dollars that had to be spent to process, house, feed, etc so many people at once. I think they need to look at perhaps reforming the law so that once a person has work authorization, they should provide for themselves after getting oriented to the community?

The government shutdown does not impact USCIS becuse our fees we pay for processing cover salaries and operations. And employees get bonuses just like the private sector.

They should be fast but they are being deliberately slow. They have banned all these countries including Venezuela and have changed how you go about applying for employment authorization for asylum, you have to wait a year now. It is all deliberate. Every day new and new laws are coming out making things difficult for immigrants.

Any update on EAD approvals?
I saw this today which makes no sense. Just offer a legalization program for migrant workers in the country that have been doing this for decades.
