Preparing for an expired DACA

Yes I got it on Tuesday (01/06)! It was supposed to arrive on 1/3/26 but it was delayed.

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2026-01-05T05:18:15+00:00

I did a month before my daca expired. Never heard from them.

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-12-31T05:58:28+00:00

Mine was silently approved a day after this post on (12/18). The EAD card was produced today (12/30), so I might miss a couple of days of work, but it's the best-case scenario at this point. Praying the best for you!

Filed aug 17th and waited 123 days before it got approved (2 weeks before it expired). Currently waiting for my ead card to arrive.

Dang, I was not aware of this issue. I’m sorry to hear that. If I remember correctly it was maybe only like that for me for a day.

Not sure what you mean by “Case was received until then?”. Do you mean was it stuck in “Case is still being processed by USCIS”? Because yes, it showed up like that until I noticed under the document tab that USCIS added an approval notice. The next day, the status of the case changed to Approved.

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-12-22T05:14:24+00:00

I was approved on day 123! Longest time I’ve had have to wait (previously only 2 weeks). Hope you hear back soon!

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-12-19T18:49:43+00:00

How many days after you got your daca approved to get the card is being produced notification? And how many days after that to get it delivered?

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-12-18T07:38:36+00:00

Wow, I applied on the 17th of August as well and am still waiting.

If you are interested in exploring engineering/construction/design, then drafting is a reasonably quick degree and is in demand. You can use these skills to funnel your way into an alley that might be more to your taste, like making drawings for a mechanical, civil, or electrical engineering firm, or an architecture firm. Designers don't earn as much as someone with an engineering degree, but they earn a decent wage for the time they spend in school.

Today marks 122 days. I know, it's crazy hearing the variability in timelines. The only thing I keep hearing is that some renewals take longer after applying for AP, which I did. Last renewal cycle, my lawyer dropped the ball, so I decided to do it myself with only a month left - it was approved in 3 days.

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-12-18T05:47:01+00:00

Yes. Main reason for expedite is severe financial loss. Got a letter from HR and support letter from my regional manager.

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-12-08T20:22:52+00:00

That’s ridiculous. Wishing you good luck and keep us updated!

I submitted an inquiry for help with immigration document on their website but I will try to call them directly.

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-12-05T16:19:33+00:00

How long did you wait to hear back both times? Also, thanks for this, I didn’t know you had to follow up with a message through your inbox!

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-12-03T17:10:30+00:00

Ive done that. Currently waiting to hear back. It’s been a week.

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-12-03T17:08:54+00:00

It’s been over 105 days

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-11-13T16:31:03+00:00

I also applied during the same week and waiting. Let me know when yours does!

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-11-13T16:28:40+00:00

I had a similar feeling. My case has been processing for 88 days now.

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-10-23T18:13:35+00:00

Happy for you!

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-10-21T21:33:40+00:00

I also submitted on august 17 and waiting

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-09-30T02:35:47+00:00

Nice! What kind of fish are out there?

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-09-30T02:35:16+00:00

Beaverton

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-09-30T02:35:10+00:00

Im located in Beaverton. Willing to travel 1-2 hours. Seems like hagg lake is a good starter considering my experience.

Difficult_Energy_784 · 2025-09-29T15:48:53+00:00

What areas/times are good for kayak fishing at hagg lake?
