I hope and pray that you and others get your approval soon and can keep your employment. My best wishes.

I got an approval =)

i'm so extremely happy I can't even believe it. I can tell you guys that I have the DACA letter in my hands. I'm still waiting to get the employee authorization card but hopefully that will arrive in a few days.

I've been checking my status online everyday and pmfollowing this blog constantly. I had been checking on the uscis page and on Thursday I checked my "account" and there was an approval. I started crying unstoppable. On the uscis page it still showed the message that my bio metrics appt letter had been sent. So to see the approval was a huge deal.

My timeline is the following. they received my paperwork on May 23 (i sent it overnight) Chicago lockbox and then it went to Nebraska. My bio metrics were on June 24th and approved August 8th. Received the daca letter approved today. still waiting for work permit.

I hope this gives you guys some hope. I know I was reading every post waiting to see an approval.

Good luck everyone.

My cases were approved on 8/3/16 and received the physical card on 8/11/16.

Getting the card took 8 days since approval for me.

I live in Cali, by the way.

I will keep you guys posted as soon as I receive the actual letters and card in the mail. Currently in a state of disbelief of how fast I got approved considering my expiration date. Wishing fast approvals for everyone.
