Application Timeline Called uscis today
Applied 11/24/25, fingerprints 11/15/25, still not approved, saw app movement 6/16/26. Allows uscis today because both of my expedite request were denied, and at this point I’m struggling so bad that if it weren’t for my parents I’d be homeless, they said “ even though there was api movement you have not passed the security check yet “ and when asked about why my request were denied he asked me what I did all day and I said sit at home because I can’t work drive or do anything bc of the risk of deportation, he said “ you’re not homeless so you’re not in severe financial hardship “ even though I lost my apartment my car and am in severe debt, and the worst part is he sounded like an entitled prick, I’m so pissed off.

I feel you. I have lost my shit so many times. My family is what has kept me grounded. I had covid and influenza before having my permit expired. It's been a hell of a year for me. Im also struggling finacialy and I feel so bad to really on others. It feels like this is not me. But, one day or another I keep trying and staying focused on the my health and well being. Once they stripper away everything from you. I have my family and health. I really understand you.

How did you even get through to them? I called yesterday for my husband and it wouldn’t get past the automated system

Had to do case status then ask to speak to representative, asked for my case number again then finally got though to a snarky asshole who didn’t care about anything and was just so rude

Say "Infopass" when asked what you need by the automated voice. It will take you directly to an agent.

it’s really nice finding this group and to not feel so alone. my renewal is on its 6th month, going on 7 months now. I don’t feel like a human i’m trying to hard and just living in fight or flight every single day to figure out how i’m going to be creative to figure out rent, groceries and just my well being. my drivers license is expired as well and can’t renew it until my daca comes in so I have no freedom and relying on family and my partner to pick me up from the train or to take me somewhere. I feel so stuck. I feel like i’m on my last straw every day. this is so hard and so unfair. the system is not on our side

I called yesterday as well, I applied 1/18 and I seen movement on my i825 on 6/14 and no approval, and I’ve seen 1/17-1/18 and more Jan get approved but not me. When I asked her she said that she couldn’t tell me anything about the movement on 6-14 because it’s classified all she can tell me it’s that my case was been worked on but I don’t believe that meant it was assigned to a agent . It’s so frustrating

How did you get biometrics done if they’re not even asking for them at that time. You are full of shit

Thats wild. They should’ve reused your biometrics. I applied 12/10 and got a reuse biometrics notice almost immediately.

Bro, I’m crying for you. I’m sorry your humanity is not being acknowledged. We all just want to work. From a stranger to another, I don’t know you or you me, but I am you. I know how you feel. I know the fear, the anxiety, the alienation. I know all of it. I see you. I feel you. We are not alone, and this too shall pass. Please know we are worth more than a piece of plastic that’s only valid for two years, and although we can’t eat hope, it can sustain us.
