I found a letter that was written from a couple of Senators to the director of USCIS about including the DACA application into the ELIS system. There is one part that caught my attention;

However, in 2014, the DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) reported that USCIS's IT systems do not fully provide the functionally needed to support its mission.

That may explain why we have such a delay. The system that is being used is not ready to handle all our renewals and the other applications. The system has cost the government a lot of money and they have not been able to get it to work properly. I believe that there will be mass approvals coming in the next couple of weeks. Otherwise we will all be screwed.
