'U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said Friday about 180,000 people have applied for the administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program announced this summer. As of Wednesday, 4,591 applications had been approved. Those people will also get permission to work.

To date, no applications have been rejected but Homeland Security officials said it could take at least two months after an application is received for it to be declined. If more information is need from an applicant, the process could take even longer.

The government started accepting applications on Aug. 15 and it had been expected that final decisions could take several months. DHS has said the time to approve applications is expected to slow in coming months.'"



Alright, in the last 42 working days since they opened the windows for DACA, they have approved 4,591. Now, they didn't approve apps on the very first day, applicants had to go through biometrics so technically they have approved this many apps in a period of time of about 28 days (earliest bio appointments started on Sep. 5, 2012, as far as I know). So on a daily basis, excluding weekends, USCIS green lights approx. 164 apps per day. Again, if the information provided is reliable, you can estimate how long it could take to push out all 180,000 apps. At this pace, by the end of November, 5,576 more apps will be approved; thus, 10,167 apps total from Aug to November, that is a little over 5% of all apps received. This sounds like torture =/ or a reality check to pick up the pace.

So the question still remains, when will my app be approved? My assumption is that the FBI review of fingerprints might take longer for some, not because of criminal history but for whatever unknown reason. And biometric walk-ins have added a bigger work load than expected, because while some attended their designated date, others showed up earlier so in that period of time it has accumulated more fingerprints to match against the government's database. Is there good news? I think so. My brother and his friend tried visiting USCIS 20 days prior their fingerprints appointment, they wouldn't let them. This happened in California so if the same is true for other states, maybe the pace will pick up pretty soon.

I too visit this forum to witness the way this program is bringing us hope. I hate waiting and patience doesn't come easy, but we have to remain calm and have faith that USCIS will carry out this project as promised. Stay positive and carry on with your life!

I was also reading the comments section and I can't believe so many people are anti immigrant when most us haven't dine anything to them. They say we are going to commit crimes and steal other Americans jobs. Dont they stop and think that most us are better qualified because we are bilingual, we are excellent students, we are hardworking, we aren't lazy, we are respectful and honest and willing to learn and we have perseverance. It's a shame they have us in such low standards but we will proof them wrong.

Stephanie, you'd be surprise that not everyone is anti-immigrant. I bet you most of those comments represent the radical minority who always tries to speak for everyone else. Conservative sheep are encouraged by news commentators and peers to spread the hate on any story that doesn't agree with their view of the world. I ignore all that because it's negative and ignorant. Stay up and don't give so much power to hateful writing that will always exist on any topic, not just immigration!
