It's strange to hear that the NSC is only at mid-April received applications. I could have sworn I read a couple days ago someone posted that NSC said they were processing early May already.
My EAD expired yesterday. HR hasn't said anything. I'm going to continue to work, but not charge hours. I can always back charge if needed.
I did contact NILC via email and they said my request has been forwarded to a staffer for review. They also said that due to many DACA delay issues, they may take a couple days to respond.
