So...take solace in that, cause I do. I turn to everyone here for additional info. We must be the best researchers in our respective jobs, lol.

Hey, all. Thank God, I've been approved. Here's my timeline, which I'll also add to the spreadsheet:

(Expiration: 10/23/16)

Receipt: 6/13/16
Biometrics scheduled: 9/9/16 (e-mail notification: 9/10/16)
Walk-in biometrics : 9/12/16
Approval: 9/13/16

I was part of the group that was not scheduled for biometrics until months after receipt. It took 89 days to be scheduled, and needless to say, that was a particularly frustrating time. Like many here, I tried to exhaust all avenues: calls, several emails, and I even attempted to walk into an ASC without so much as a biometrics appointment notice.

I pray for the best for everyone still awaiting approval. Despite the frustration from this renewal period, it's been really encouraging to see the DAP community as strong as ever. I was one of the first people to sign up for the DAP back in 2006, a holdover from its predecessor site. I've seen it all with the DAP, from my college days and now into my career. It was truly awesome to get so much from this community throughout the years and particularly wonderful to see everyone offering words of encouragement and support through this especially frustrating second renewal period. I have no doubt it will continue.

I will continue monitoring progress and again, praying for speedy approvals for those still waiting.
