*****Daca approvals <------****** - Page 1191

i821d approved , i765 is still initial review. oh boy.... more waiting i guess :/

And how do u know this?when u call uscis they never give u that info?

I know the fustration you are feeling, I was there several days ago. Please be patient. Your approval will come. Imagine if every single one of us did that. How would it make us look? You also gotta think that there is many many applications regarding other immigration issues/cases and agents/adjudicators (whatever their name is) are not just processing DACA 24/7. They have to look into backlog immigration applications. Weve been eventually waiting since june, give it a few more days. Your turn will come when you least expect it.

You know, that's true. I forgot to take that into consideration. (As far as other forms also being processed besides DACA). The times that I went through receipt numbers, I did notice other forms being processed. I hope everyone who is still waiting sees your post. I think it may be one of the reasons why it could be taking so long for some people still. Their application could be bundled with other types of applications.

I hadnt cosider it either until I google -DACA news- and came across this article and I was like OMG. So that helped me a lot keeping up patience as my bff towards the end of my wait.
Best of luck!

Although the point may hold some truth, be careful where you get information from. This article comes from a group that is very anti-immigrant. You wouldn't know it from their "Low immigration, pro immigration" motto, but they put out some seriously biased reports. Including the link you provided. Their first sentence should give you some clue:

"USCIS statistics released Wednesday reveal how seriously the new Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty has slowed work on all other agency programs."

We all know well that DACA is not an amnesty (I wish it was), but they insist on calling it that throughout. Either they are very, very misinformed or they are trying to sway their audience. And I doubt they are misinformed that badly. Either way, they are bad news.

I know I ranted a little bit, but here's a link to more info on the "CIS". :

But I thought they had hired and trained new people especially for daca.

This is for all my Vermont peeps that are still waiting, there is hope... Just got the emails at 7:30 am today.. Approved!!! It says it was approved yesterday December 11th, so I guess there was a delay on the notifications.. I am so happy!!! Oh and also, before being approved, last week my LUD got updated and got an email from USCIS saying that on December 6th my name had been updated relating to my EAD only.. These last days have been rough I'm not going to lie, seeing people get approved before you makes you question a lot of things about yourself.. But with the help of God I've been able to get through this wait. I was a complete wreck so He deserves all the glory and honor! So just wait guys it will come!!!

^^ amennnnnn !
