Official 2016 Renewal Thread - Page 858

uscis is playing with me bruh

they send me an email saying the card was in production,
then they said they sent it, BUT with no tracking number,
then i check the mail and its there ..all in the same day

Do you guys have any idea why I haven't received my EAD yet? Got approved Oct 31st for DACA, I called and they said I could only ask for a service request after 3 months of DACA approval, but I did my biometrics in May...has anyone experienced something similar?

Lucky you. We have similar timelines. Still waiting to hear back from them.

Congrats! But how did you file a service request to escalate your case? Did they actually tell you they escalated your case or was that just a coincidence that you got approved soon after? I have asked for this over and over and they keep telling that's not possible. That's why I'm asking.

I called the national customer service center (800-375-5283) and told them my case was outside of 105 day period and would like a service request. The agent did it over the phone. They told me it may take up to 15 days before my request is actually assigned to an immigration officer.

When I visited local USCIS office via infopass I asked them what happens during that service request. They said sometimes your case gets "stuck" in the system (technical issue) and nobody notices it, and when they look at your case to do an inquiry per your service request they may find it and fix the issue. But I heard that it might not be helpful and the only thing I can do is to wait from another immigration officer before.

I really don't think it was coincidence that I got my EAD approval shortly after I requested a service for inquiry. I've heard otherwise before from many.
They didn't say that they would escalate my case, I used that word when I emailed them.
(explained my situation and requested to escalate my case). So here is brief timeline:

Service request over the phone: 11/22
Visited local USCIS office: 11/29
Emailed NSC follow up: 12/2 (Friday)
EAD approval: 12/5 (Monday)
Reply from NSC follow up on DACA/EAD approval: 12/6

Same thing happened when I was waiting for biometrics for 2+ months.
Requested service inquiry and they scheduled my biometrics within 2 weeks.
I know many people did everything they could and didn't get a good response.
Do it again. When you talk to a different immigration officer/agent, who knows?
It's not over until it's over. Good luck!

I highly recommending sending an email to NSC followup.

Trump just said the below for his Time Interview of the year. Keep renewing people ! This gives me hope . Him acknowledging our struggle is one of the biggest obstacles.... Still waiting on my renewal , coming up on 200 days since receipt . Usics says still processing....

'We're Going to Work Something Out' With DREAMers, Trump Says

Trump in his interview doubled down on his pledge to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border but appeared to adopt a softer tone with regard to some young undocumented immigrants already living in the country.

"I want DREAMers for our children also. We’re going to work something out," he said. "On a humanitarian basis, it’s a very tough situation."

Trump is referring to the nearly 750,000 undocumented immigrants who Obama declared through executive action in 2012 were exempt from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

During the campaign Trump vowed to roll back all of Obama's executive orders surrounding immigration.

How long does it usually take for e-notification?

I sent mine Thursday and arrived Friday afternoon. I haven't received text or email yet

To all of you folks renewing, I cannot stress it enough that saving money is very important. In October my work permit expired, and my job fired me. Somehow, I had been feeling there was something wrong with this renewal. I saved money, and lived really really tight it was a new job too. I made it past probation period then BAM. They let me go. Yeah it hurts when they terminate you. Just remember you are not the first, or last dreamer to go through that. So while you guys are still working save up all you can. I met with HR today, and after a lengthy process I'm finally going back to work Monday. I was out of my job from October up until now. (I do have a part time right now 3 weeks I'm 20 hours a week).
