My EAD expires on 10/26/16. When I received my notice for biometrics appointment, there was a separate envelope (Notice of Action) with the information for the USCIS online account. I noticed that on this second envelope received, the form had a priority date of 5/31/16, for those who have received the USCIS online account information, what is the priority date signify?
My application was received on 4/5/2016 and my receipt has a priority date of 3/31/2016. I really don't know what these mean.
The priority date on my letter is 4/5/16 which is:
  • 3 days before the actual day they received my application 4/8/16
  • It's 152 days before my DACA/EAD expires 9/4/16
So my guess is that the priority date is there to make sure your case gets looked at before your DACA/EAD expires. So when they say they're looking at cases from Feb 12, they're looking at cases received then and cases with the same priority date.

Based on this, I do think that USCIS is doing what they can to prevent expiration since and that my case will be approved before my expiration date.

Edit:
Tardis_TX priority date is 148 days from his expiration.
chessmaster05 priority date is 139 days from his expiration.
