Official 2016 Renewal Thread - Page 119

its been a month since my biometrics and still nothing, and my EAD expires on 9/29/16..So does anyone know clear reason for the delay? or just speculations? Calls and emails are useless and no official announcement or clarification for the delay...this is frustrating...

It's been over 3 months since my biometrics and my expiration is 11 days away! There is nothing difficult about my renewal so imagine the frustration I'm feeling..

The speculation is the system ELIS, which is being used to process the renewals, is not equipped to do so.

Hello:
My timeline is below. It took me forever to get my biometrics and thought I'd share if it may help you. If you have not done so already I would suggest you contact your congressman and Ombudsman.

This is my second renewal. My DACA renewal is at the Nebraska Service Center and the receipt number starts with an IOE.

May 19, 2016 -- renewal received by USCIS.

June 16, 2016 -- called USCIS since no biometrics appointment, but was told wait at least 30 days before making an inquiry.

June 20, 2016 -- Submitted a case inquiry online via the USCIS website: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-Request/Intro.do

June 23, 2016 -- Received a response from the June 20, 2016 inquiry that I need to create an account at https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov Also stated in the response that I will need an access code to link my pending cases. I never received an access code so I called USCIS on June 24, 2016 and was told to submit an inquiry to get the access code.

June 24, 2016 -- Submitted an inquiry at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/contactus to obtain the access code.

June 28, 2016 -- Received a call from USCIS tech help desk and provided me with an access code to create my account, but no biometric online letter when I login.

June 25, 2016 -- submitted an Ombudsman request online via https://www.dhs.gov/case-assistance filling out (Form DHS-7001), but received a response from Ombudsman on July 1, 2016 that they will close my request since my case has not been pending for 105 days.

June 30, 2016 -- Submitted a Congressional inquiry and received a response on July 6, 2016 that to wait at least 60 days and if I don't get anything by them, then to contact my representative again.

July 15, 2016 -- Finally received my biometric appointment in the mail. July 26, 2016 -- completed my biometrics.

Best of luck to everyone! Be persistent and remain vigilant.

It's not just Daca. I had a relative go get fingerprints for her new Green Card and they just extended it there until the new one came in, told her that there's a delay going on.

Was it for permanent resident? Those are the only two things being processed on ELIS right now.

How difficult would it be for USCIS to just send out notices and extend our EAD expiration dates? It seems like if they don't sort this out soon a lot mote people are going to have expired EADs. This is their fault, they need to fix this.

I would like to know what online access code you guys are referring to? I thought that to check your DACA status you just go to https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do and put you receipt number there.
Am I missing anything?

Hi can you explain what you mean by DACA number?
