Sorry, but I hope the best for all of us.

This is something we discussed during the last renewal cycle. But, the conclusion was that each officer is assigned x # of cases in their caseload/batch that they have to clear in a certain amount of time. Hence, why some people are approved faster than others because some officers work faster than others and these loads are assigned at different intervals.

There have been cases on here where people are still waiting for their EADs which were approved around 9/4 (over a month ago). My DACA was approved on 9/21 and I was not notified until 5 days later that my EAD was being produced, and then my card was not mailed until 10/11 and I received it priority mail this afternoon. Good luck!



Yup, seems to be the norm.



This is the case for almost everyone on here, including myself. EAD and DACA will have corresponding dates of approval and expiration.



That is insane and so unfortunate. Have you tried to reach out to these contacts?

Unfortunately, its a crap shoot and there's no telling when your case is up for approval. Also, just wanted to point out that you can edit your signature to include your DACA info automatically by going to "Control Panel" on the left side of the screen.

Here is my daily "have any 9/29 cards under production actually been produced"?

My EAD on 'my case status' says my card started being produced Oct. 11, but my DACA still says in progress. It's the opposite on the ELIS site.

Accepted: 5/11
Bios: 5/31
Expired: 9/29
Approved: 10/11

If someone can update the sheet for me, that would be awesome. Currently not able to.
