this is what my status says:

Your benefit request has been accepted and is under review.

receipt date 4/11
bio 5/5

I did a case inquiry on 7/26 and received the following on 8/3

The Nebraska Service Center (NSC) is closely monitoring the expiration dates of initial Form I-821D, Consideration for Deferred action for Childhood Arrivals, and Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization Document. We are working the renewals in the order of previous card expirations. There is no authorization to allow expedited processing of the renewals. However, if your card is a few days away from expiring and your case was filed at least four months prior we will review the case to ensure it is in proper placement. You must also have attended your biometrics appointment at the Application Support Center.


I will be contacting my congressman today.

Good to see approvals coming in.

It's encouraging to see all the people getting approved, it means at least things are moving, however, without having done my biometrics yet, there is no hope of getting my EAD renewed...

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.

I also just got the Notice of Action form with the access code to make an online account on 7/30.

Wow, you're lucky you got your biometrics so quick. I haven't received my appointment in the mail yet but my case status changed on 7/29 saying they had scheduled me for biometrics and that I should be receiving it in the mail soon. I wonder if they lagged with mine due to where I live (Southern Cali).... maybe it is really busy here, who knows. When is your expiration again?
