Official DACA RENEWAL Process Time Thread! - Page 44

So how long is it taking, on average, to get the receipt notices?

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you!!

Reciept notices? On average 5.44 business days.

So last week I emailed the NILC (National Immigration Law Center) who are one of the biggest immigration advocacy groups out there about DACA renewals. I explained to them everything about the renewal guidelines and how some people have expiring DACA in September and in October and we have yet to hear anything back from USCIS. I also told them about the EAD extension and how most of us have talked to customer service and have requested Infopass and the Obudsman inquiry. In general, everything we have discussed here over the past few weeks regarding renewals I mentioned in the email and this is the response I got back from them today. I'm copy and pasting the email. Take note of the bolded part. This is no way meant to be legal advice and it's just the opinions and knowledge of a professional immigration lawyer.

Good stuff. Did you mention to her that when we ask USCIS about the automatic extension, they are telling us that they don't do that anymore?

Also, we really can't wait until we get closer to 120 days, because that would mean that we're already expired. For example, USCIS has been sitting on my app since the 16th. 120 days from that would mean October 14th. But, my current documentation expires on the 18th of September...

Yes I did mention about the automatic extension. But if you read the bolded part it says USCIS will issue automatic extensions if they can't process the case in 120 days. USCIS is aware of September DACA expirations and actually if you read DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson's press release from June, it actually specifically mentions people whose DACA is about to expire in September. USCIS is aware of you guys, but I don't know nor does it seem anyone knows when those adjudications will arrive at this point. My whole feeling is that USCIS knows about our situation but I don't if they are actively processing our renewals. When I first applied for renewal, I felt like we would hear something back by mid to late August and we're in that time frame. I sincerely hope we hear some good news this coming week with some of you all because if we don't, the rest of us are also royally screwed (unless they send us those automatic extensions).

Lateralus, thank you so much for emailing the NILC and giving us new information!

Now that automatic extension makes sense and is much more in line with what's stated on the DACA renewal page: http://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/co...enew-your-daca

It provided no instructions on how to go about obtaining this temporary extension, implying that they will automatically send out those temporary EADs as our expiration dates approach. This could also be why the national support center people claimed that DACA recipients are not eligible to obtain extensions via info-pass given that this auto extension follows a different protocol.

We should all email NILC to make them aware that these are not isolated incidents. Let's hope for the best!

Thank you so much @Lateralus! I'm hoping they follow through with extensions ��

Email not only NILC but every other major immigration advocacy groups out there. We got to get the message out to as many people (the right people) as fast we can.
