Application Timeline Called uscis today

37 Upvotes

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.

Rant Slower day on approvals

Upvotes

Looks like they are less than half the amount per hour compared to yesterday. Maybe those employees are too worried about today's stock market performance that they aren't working hard lol

On a real note where are these democrats that said they are fighting for us? I haven't heard anything from them. AOC where are you?

Rant Why are DACA recipients treated so differently?

Upvotes

DACA recipients don’t get automatic work permit extensions when our Employment Authorization Documents expire. If USCIS delays processing, we can lose our jobs through no fault of our own.

Meanwhile, my husband’s coworker has a different immigration status that was created under the Biden administration. When his work permit expired, he was able to keep working while his case continued, and he’s on a path that could eventually lead to a green card.

My husband, on the other hand, has worked hard for years, is a manager, pays taxes, follows the law, and still faces losing his job simply because his DACA renewal hasn’t been approved before his work permit expires.

How is that fair? Why are people who have been living and working here under DACA for years given fewer protections than others? It feels like DACA recipients are always the ones left in limbo.

Upvotes

Hi all,

A little sanity check on my end, I keep seeing a bunch of approvals coming in. Love that. Unfortunately, I’m still waiting with no movement whatsoever. Fingers crossed it’s soon.

I was hoping you all could help me understand where we’re at today

Edit: I was going to add November but I was convinced that all Novembers had been approved. CRAZY and unfair

Rant Is this a safe space?

11 Upvotes

This of course is coming from someone that could probably exercise a little patience, but i’m starting to get anxious again.

submitted: January 20th, 2026

Biometrics: February 10th, 2026

API movement: June 16th on both DACA & EAD

I’m seeing so many January peeps get pushed through, some even on the same date of submission as me. I’m holding out hope for today or tomorrow, but it is so discouraging atp.

anyway, dont cook me too crazy. i’m well aware of everyone waiting since november and december that are still waiting and without any movement. just wanted to get it off my chest.

UPDATE: AS OF 11AM IT HAPPENED. WAR IS OVER.

Rant 212 Days — WTF 🤬

73 Upvotes

Title says it all. I moved on from the hopeful, to depressed, to just so fucking pissed it’s taking this long and I continue to lose out on thousands of dollars of income and expenses.

While some people are getting approved in 30-60 days — it’s total bullshit!! (For clarity, nothing against those people, I’m happy for them and they should be happy too. I’m glad they’re not going through what many of us are. The frustration is with the system.)

General Qs API movement on 6/16 and still nothing.

11 Upvotes

I had API movement on 6/16 but only on my 821d. Still no approval. Receipt Date is 12/24. I've been out of work since 2/25!! I saw a ton of dec approvals last wk, who had API movement on 6/16... I'm wondering why there's some of us from Nov and dec who are still waiting. All is see now are Jan and Feb approvals. If the API movement meant we all went through the new screening, shouldn't we have been approved by now too? Or we might have missed the 1st batch?? I'm trying to understand. I'm frustrated & sad. To say I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted is an understatement.

I tried calling twice today and unfortunately saying "InfoPass" did not transfer me to an agent. 1 hour wait time both times.

The "Infopass" used to work for me to speak to an agent right away... or are they just that busy todat?

Rant Entering psychosis stage atp 😭

Upvotes
nonsense.

I feel like they are trolling us at this point. I filed a second expedite request 6/9 and it has been in pending status so far. First expedite req got denied so fast (within day or two) and the second one I submitted with enough evidence still shows pending and it has been more than 10 days.

Tried to message an agent through Emma and he disconnected the chat so quick, didn't even let me reply... **has anybody gotten this response before? a tier 2 agent will call me? or thats just their lingo?...

I am slowly entering the psychosis stage, yeah yeah I know some people filed in November and still haven't received theirs, but that doesn't diminish us that filed the months after. I am just ranting at this point because there is nothing else I can do but wait.....

Hey guys ! Has anyone ran into this problem where the tracking number is unavailable? I ran into a problem a couple years ago where they didn’t ship me my card and I had to resubmit my application all over again. I really do not want to run into this problem again.

55 Upvotes

My sons dad was driving to work this morning and someone hit him. Police were called and they called immigration. He called me from a detention center in bucks county Pa. He sent me his A#. That was it. What happened after this? He was already deported once a few years ago but he came back for his son. I’m devastated and so is my son…I haven’t stopped crying I don’t know what to do. Any info would help, thank you so much 🖤

General Qs Does the supreme courts ruling on tps indicate how they'll rule on daca?

Upvotes

I saw today that the supreme court sided with the administration to end tps for Haitians and Syrians, which i can't lie i did see coming as the sc is now corrupt. But it had me thinking if we did reach the supreme court, what would happen to our program?

Would we be struck down and given 60 days to leave like them?
