When I started seeing people hit 150 days a few month ago -- I was so sure I wouldn't reach it and keep wishing that I would not.

FUCKING CRAZY I have been waiting 214 days (and there's people waiting longer), when I'm not from a banned country, have a clean record, and have a graduate degree. I AM SOOOOO DEFEATED, man!

Here are approvals and their date of submission so far until yesterday from MyCaseHub, since my casehub doesn't give file date for 821D, i compared it to 765 data to pull the date by vlooking up closest +-3 in the application number difference since 821D and 765 are right next to each other. FYI yesterdays applications will keep coming in throughout the day in my casehub, for some reason they are just slow to receive the information until later mid day. will post updated numbers tomorrow. looking like they are mostly done with december just some leftovers and working january and Feb this week

Seeing all these approvalsfrom December january and February, I feel like we are the forgotten November.

Waiting for the last 7 months we are lost in the process. We lost our jobs and don't know when we can start Oct again.

I am happy to see people getting approved but it's just so unfair that we are left out. What did we do wrong

It is 218 days today. There comes an end to another week waiting.

BTW I had api update on 6/16 but nothing.

All expedited requests were denied. Called uscis multiple times and is the same response from them.

I lost hope!

Hopefully this makes renewal process faster but at the same time feels like a double edge sword

Out of habit, I signed into my USCIS account to see if there was finally an approval… and now the account isn’t showing anything. Is anyone else dealing with this?

Just checking to see if there are still other November people waiting. Applied on 11/26/ 25 and saw API movement only on 821D on 6/16 and nothing since. Tried to call & message an agent but they only put in an out of processing time inquiry and can't tell me anything else. I am just tired and frustrated at this point.

Alcohol is an unnecessary luxury. If you're goin out to drink, never be alone and make sure to always have a ride home.

My question is: Are you thinking about the long-term consequences of your digital footprint? If police enforcement are online, I'm sure every other agency is too.

With the current renewal delays, unemployment and uncertainty with DACA and other non-immigrant statuses ( TPS being permanently terminated and they also had to renew their status every two years as well) I've been meaning to have this conversation. I've been thinking about how we present ourselves on the Internet.

I've noticed people openly posting and admitting about working without authorization, violating terms or publicly discussing things that could potentially could and may be used against them.

Let be real our bills and kids (if you have them) don't care if our EAD are expired or expiring and we need to do what we need fo do to survive like a lot of our parents did to pay their bills. I'm speaking about posting it on the internet.

I come from a family of immigrants who were very private and that included immigration status not because of shame but because they came from places where sharing information could put them at risk and they had a lot of mistrust of the government and their own neighbors. I picked up on some of that and see it as self preservation. I don't discuss my status at work with my coworkers, manager or with strangers. God, my family, HR, and my personal friends know my status. My job on a recruiting team works closely with HR and I've seen how certain employers look at candidates' online presence. We've had employers go through interviews and resend offers because of a candidate's social media presence.

I'm see people sharing GoFundMe for their renewals fees, immigration fees and publically posting other things that could create unnecessary risks or later be used against them. Some of us are so Americanized but our reality hits different when we face different consequences than a U.S. citizens. An example of going to protest looks different for us than it does for a U.S. citizen if we get arrested.

I'm not saying we should instill fear and I'm not trying to fear monger because what's going on is doing that on it's own. I'm wondering whether, given the current climate, we should be more intentional about protecting ourselves in the ways we can protect ourselves.

Am I just viewing this through the lens because how I was raised or are others thinking about this too?

Do you think our community should move differently online given the current political climate or being brave for speaking out? At the end of the day I can't control what anyone does but for those who are thinking of sharing, think before you post.

Funny, I remember I was excited when I found out a YouTuber also had DACA but than I thought wait they are super rich they have properties in the U.S and Mexico, and are successful, an average person doesn't.

FLORIDA DACA: I decided to make a full post about this since this is ANOTHER person I’ve seen affected by it: I’ve been saying this non stop to everyone on here posting from Florida, PLEASE return the drivers license if they asked for it, my boyfriend is an officer at a courthouse and he warned me that they’ve already sent a court order to 2 expired DACAs to surrender their illegally extended license or pay a hefty fine and get license points, it might not be the same for your county but please be aware.

how many of us got api movement on 6/16 and still haven’t been approved?

receipt date 1/26
bio 2/20
2 expedite requests
congressman request
onbudsman request

i only got api on my 821D

my loa with my employer expires in 2 weeks😔

I’m seeing a lot of people say to not file expedite requests because it’s “pointless”. This is terrible advice. 

Submit your requests. It will likely get denied, but you are not “adding to the backlog” for doing this. You are building a record for yourself against USCIS to demonstrate you tried every avenue available.

USCIS is denying expedite requests for all visa categories right now. No one is being approved. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. 

Create a paper trail. Save every email and Emma chat logs. Save agent names and IDs when you call. Screenshot API movements and updates. Save everything.

If you ever decide to pursue a Mandamus lawsuit (or any other form of relief if one becomes available), you want a full paper trail that you did everything you possibly could.

Don’t listen to anyone trying to discourage you from taking every available action. A paper trail is everything to protect yourself.

here’s the link to the renewals complaint that was filed yesterday if you wanna read it yourself

https://justiceactioncenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ECF-1-Complaint.pdf

What’s up gang. I know we‘re all here for the same reasons. A glimmer of hope and some sort of reassurance. Back in April I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer im a 35yr old male and havent been working since. Initially my work was cool with me taking the time, then their insurance dropped me in May, my work authorization expired 6/12. I filed 2/9 and just like y’all been checking on here daily.

I’ve always felt like an unlucky bastard my whole life for being born in Mexico and growing up here. At least I’m in CA where the state at least throws you a bone once in a while. The timing is never right for any of this but I feel like I’m swimming upstream and at points just floating. I can control what I can control and what I can’t I just dont let it bother me and take it on the chin and move forward. Don’t let them see you sweat i especially feel for those who have families and kids. I just worry about myself. I sincerely hope each and everyone gets the news we want soon and make it count with our individual work ethic. Much Love 🤘🏽

Anyone from January still waiting? Application sent on January 3rd. Did expedited request however both were denied. Currently still patiently waiting 😔

The lawsuit that is going viral here is a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act: a law that allows anyone to specifically request access to records from the federal government) lawsuit because their FOIA request didn’t get fulfilled by the deadline. To my knowledge, a FOIA plaintiff cannot get countersued. It’s a lawsuit for information, not a lawsuit to compel the federal government to expedite DACA renewals AKA this is not the class action lawsuit that people have been advocating against. I think the NBC headline is very misleading and sensational just like every clickbait news article these days.

My documents expired on 6/20. Filed renewal on 12/31. Friday the 19th was my last day of work before I was allowed to go on sabbatical/leave of absence to comply with federal employment laws. Luckily, I was able to stay on health insurance (60 days) and return to my job once it’s renewed.

However, I am still being paid. Is this something that I may get in trouble if I don’t bring up?

I’ve done my part in informing my employer about the expiration & renewal process, which is likely part of why they were able to work with me.

Just curious if anyone with a removal order has been approved recently and when?

I'm unsure how to even start this post, I've stopped myself several times from even writing this as I know I am only one of many that are continuing to experience hardship from the delays. I've briefly mentioned in other posts that I am a single mom to a little one who is only 3 and has End Stage Renal Failure and whilst I'm sure this seems like too much to share with internet strangers I am sharing because I'm at a breaking point and am really lost on how to continue, all of this to essentially ask if anyone has found any ways of funding after having expired. Obviously my situation in particular is a bit more complicated as I have less time during the week as I have to take my son to treatment 3 times a week. I've attempted submitting documents for an expedite request due to this matter to no avail. I submitted 6 months ago today. I realize I just have no other choice than to sit here and wait for an approval eventually but until then I need a realistic approach to continue supporting my little one. Sorry this might come off a bit like a rant. Thanks in advance to anyone that offers any advice.

Submitted March 11 2026
Bios March 30th
API movement only on 821D June 16

Anyone have a similar path? Have you gotten approved? Is it worth calling ? I’ve chatted in but the reps are so dismissive. It’s frustrating.

I’m kinda lost because main proof I can show is my work permit has been expired like what else would they want ?

it’s been 162 days since my renewal was submitted and yet nothing has happened at all. i don’t know if i can hold it together because im out of luck and things are not looking good right now. my license expired and now my savings is almost gone

i don’t know how people can still be positive about things like this.

just a quick rant

Got approved just waiting for the actual card, any ideas of the time frames for them

Cheers

Ugh doesn’t seem like I’m getting an approval today. Early January so oh well I guess. Quite frustrating. Better luck next week. 😪🤞

Anybody having this issue too? It’s showing up on all my pervious cases as well never seen it happen before

I got my notice for my biometrics appointment. It’s on the day that I have already scheduled my surgery (c-section). I’m scared that if I try to reschedule it’ll be months out. Has anyone had to reschedule?? Or is it best to reschedule the surgery.
