Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Hello all,

I filed for my DACA renewal a week earlier, and I got a notice this morning saying that my case has been terminated. I haven't gotten the letter explaining why yet, but can anyone shed some light on this?

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Do you have a criminal record?

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Did they cash your check?

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Did you have enough proof or has your criminal record changed since your initial one

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

No criminal record. Not a single thing has changed since my last DACA. this would be my second time renewing.

Plus, I haven't even done my bio yet, so I don't think it's background check either.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Well there doesn't seem to be anyone else with a 2nd renewal. other posts say renewal is unlimited as long as the program stands, however I remember reading something like you can only renew once when daca first was announced but I could have misread or forgot etc. I always thought we could only renew once but everyone else says otherwise. I could be wrong we'll have to see for other 2nd renewals

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

I went through a program where a pro bono lawyer filed it for free.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

This isn't like a subscription something. You can renew and rendew forever. We are not renewing because renewing means you are already in. Once our DACA expires it expires and we then have the option to ask uscis to again reconsider our case. That is it we are not renewing we are applying as if it was our first time again. They don't need additional info like the initial application because you can only prove you were on those dates for so many times. USCiS isn't calling us and telling us "hey would you like to renew your DACA? Press 1 for yes and 2 for now. 1 thank you for renewing your DACA we hope you enjoy 2 years of your EAD subscription!!" No when our EAD expires we are notified when it will and that's it. I think we are told if we would like them to reconsider us we can then apply again.



However as far I know we can ask uscis to reconsider our case as many times as DACA is open.



As for TC

If you are 100% positive you are clean then it could be a mistake. Try calling them. The only other case which was terminated as this guy who applied for MAVNI and then uscis noticed and found some stuff.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Could be they messed up ask them to give you a copy of what they sent

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Oh yeah, I'll be calling as soon as I get that damn letter specifying what the reason is.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

You don't need anything letter. You just have to call them tell them your number case and see what is going on. When I checked my number one minute it would be blank your case has not been found please check again later it was like for weeks. Then suddenly it went back to normal. Not saying it's the same thing but it could be an error.


Now unless we can only "renew" twice then welp

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Ooh, do you happen to have the number? I could call right now.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

it's 1-800-375-5283, they are closed now, call tomorrow first thing in the morning. If you ask for 2nd level representative, they tell you a lot more.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Thanks a bunch! Will do. I'll update this post once I gather more information.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Hmmm....check a few numbers above and below using your case number. I am assuming the result is terminations only with IOE..............

The good news is that they are still handing out Biometrics...if there were terminations alone THAT would be a cause for concern. There is either a mistake with the process dealing with "IOE" case numbers, or worse, there has been a fundamental change where there are terminations first followed by a re-processing of applications for reconsideration.

The latter technically means your EAD might no longer be valid which is a concern.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

I just called USCIS and spoke to a 2nd level rep. She couldn't tell me anything besides the termination. She asked me to wait until I receive my letter before requesting anything.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

What's the exact verbiage of the termination letter ? Can you take a photo of the letter and post it? hide any personal info tho.

This is most likely a mistake in their end.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Better yet check your case number online and see what that says. I strongly think it's a mistake but who really knows. If you haven't gotten in trouble with the law that would raise a flag then it could have been someone used your name. Go get a background check done on yourself

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Pulling a credit report wouldn't hurt either.

Also, having second thoughts of this and a hunch of what's really going on here. Pretty easy, your case was terminated because it was filed early, that does not mean your current DACA nor your eligibility for DACA was terminated. Only your application was terminated because it was filed before the 180 days grace period (plz someone correct me if I got the num of days wrong), so I'm thinking the following consequences will happen:

- they will not cash your checks
- you will have to re-apply within the grace period
- you will get your DACA renewed and live happily ever after

It is kinda like when your application is rejected(maybe because you did not sign it or missing info). Just my thoughts.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

I haven't received any letters yet. It was mailed out to me on Monday, so I should receive it next week probably.

In the online case status, there is nothing. And the 2nd level rep didn't have any knowledge either.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Yes, hopefully. Just waiting until I get my letter to see what the next steps should be. There's nothing bad on my Credit Report.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Did you mention in another post that you applied for MAVNI or something like that? Maybe this is why?

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

That was someone else

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

You can only apply a maximum of 150 days before the expiration of your DACA not 180. And they would reject the application and return it to you with a note to file later if that were the case

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

OP in another post

Kidcomesback:

'This is strange. I applied for MAVNI as well, and I got the same notification about termination'


The OP never mentions this at the begging of the post. ????

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Starting to think we've got infiltration going on here, probably a trump/dracula supporter.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Yes, I applied for MAVNI as well. But that has no connection to this. Other people are having the same issue without being MAVNI applicants.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

You will be fine...it is an error on the site.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

That's what I am hoping for. Do you know if we should be getting some information on the termination letter to sign up on another website? Supposedly, that's what's happening to someone who posted on VisaJourney. The other website seems to be tracking their case just fine, while My Case Status has their case terminated.

Wondering what my next move should be. We know that these renewals take until the last minute to process, and I don't want to lost my job.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Yes, USCIS will ask that you sign up with them, but it doesn't effect the process if you don't sign up at all. I believe they give a grace period to do so also.

Just wait it out for a couple of weeks or until you get all of your statements. They will make this error quite clear.

Here is a solution,If you also want to check if you are still work authorized, check out E-verify self-check. If it is still valid then your DACA is not terminated...

Also, the biggest logic fail is why announce "case termination" on a completely new case without giving sometime to be assessed. USCIS takes time to make a decision or issues RFEs before issuing terminations. There is simply something amiss within their system that needs fixing.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

E-mailed USCIS (mine is first-time DACA, not renewal), and got this. Seems like termination was an error:

Your case is awaiting the required biometrics submittal, and is currently in suspense until you complete this process. Your application information has been entered into the system which schedules applicants for biometrics at their local Application Support Center (ASC).

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Did you receive the paper notification? if you did, what does it say?

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Haven't gotten the paper notification yet.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

I wonder what it could say if it is an error...

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Is this happening to second time renewals or is it happening across the board?

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

It will not state that it is an error. What it should state from the service center is that your I-821D is in the normal process.
From what I can see, it has nothing to do with intervals one has applied. It has to do specifically with the IOE case number and its associated case status being reported prematurely wrong for DACA applicants.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Seems to be the case as I just received a notification for biometrics even though myUSCIS still says my application was terminated.

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

So it doesn't seem like anyone renewing, first or second time, is getting any case numbers aside from the IOE? If someone have a receipt with LIN or WAC, please let us know!

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

Well, so far the only people whose DACA has been terminated are the ones who applied for the mavni and its those who are reporting it here

Re: Got a notice of termination for DACA
 

That's incorrect. My status is currently terminated and I have never applied for MAVNI.
