^ great point Sonal528. I mailed my package on 11/20 and am still waiting to hear back on a decision on my renewal. biometrics were done early december. i fortunately have til mid april but InfamousKnight you should definitely reach out to your congress person and have them call USCIS. USCIS has a whole department/ office that deals with inquires from congresspersons so it's not like they would be inconvenienced.
