Hi guys! Long time lurker, but I just wanted to post about my renewal experience this time around. I originally applied in August 2012 and was approved in November, was renewed on September 30th, 2014. My 2016 timeline is as follows:


9/30/2016 Expiration
5/30- App received at lockbox (routed to NSC)
6/3- Bio appointment mailed
6/10- Bio appointment received
6/15- Bio appointment walk-in
8/18- DACA approval via ELIS


I'm so relieved that this whole ordeal is (almost) over. I was so worried that I would expire before renewal. I recently graduated with my bachelor's and just started at one of the Big 4 so I highly doubt I would be rehired if my EAD expired. I don't think I can deal with this again so I'll be filing for AOS soon so I don't have to go through this. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
