I think it was just time for his application. Though I did sent my Congress people an email (they hadn't really been helpful) telling them the information age brings all the lies and deceit by USCIS to the forefront. It was disgraceful to see this negligence and I sourced a bunch of information and posts in regards to panic by people who have done the right thing. I intend to continue to followup with their office and since I voted this guy in office, he in all for immigration reform and he is Latino...I am going to push his office as well as others to try and get more awareness to these struggles.

Thank you to everyone in this forum, I am a citizen and when my boyfriend and I started dating he filed for his initial DACA. Seeing the way it had potential to change lives like his, ours now, made me so proud. Seeing the destruction this negligence has left in it's wake is infuriating. I am so inspired by you Dreamers and I think the resilience you all have is something that will stick close to my mind and heart for the rest of my life. This experience has changed me in so many ways and I hope to get immigration reform passed to eliminated problems like this one day, someday, I hope.

Received 04/11/2016
Biometrics 05/04/2016
Expired 09/10/2016
DACA and EAD approved 09/29/2016

May 1 2017 we will get married and file to adjust his status. I will think of this forum and when he gets his citizenship, we will continue to fight for all the present and future dreamers.

Voted YES on reporting illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment. End Birthright Citizenship; no more anchor babies.", and this is only a preview. So I doubt I want to even contact his office.

Yep! Same here. Read their views on deporting 11 million illegal immigrants and decided not to do a congressional inquiry. Not all of us have equal avenues to accelerate our case.

Hey guys, it looks like I got approved earlier today/late yesterday. My timeline is as follows:

Application received: 5/5
Biometrics: 5/23
Expiration: 9/25
Approval: this morning.

I'll upload the Google spreadsheet later today as I'm on my phone only.

I tried calling USCIS (both tier 1 and 2 reps), Ombudsman request, a couple of SRs, NILC, and ILRC.

My job put me on PTO so hopefully I'll be able to go back within the next two weeks.
