The person that I spoke to told me these things:
1. The service center I'm with (NSC) is 3 months behind on their DACA renewal applications.
2. It is very possible that I wouldn't be able to get the renewal for up to 3 months.
3. Because my application is pending simply because of backlog, I wouldn't be accruing any unlawful presence in the meantime.
4. They got rid of the interim EAD about 1.5 years ago.
So... there's that.
