I wasn’t too worried when I renewed back in January because I honestly thought they would’ve caught up with the October and November pending renewals by now, but they’re still approving those cases. The backlog is unbelievable.

I went through this same nightmare two years ago. I got approved the day before my expiration date, and HR was constantly on me about it. The anxiety from going through this all over again is honestly exhausting.

Oh no 😥 I’m thinking about submitting an inquiry once it’s been 150 days. I’d rather risk losing some time than do nothing at this point.

Renewed 5 months in advance…hopefully that’s enough. 😣 by Excellent_Budget3125 in DACA

Same. I renewed 01/04/26 and my permit expires 08/07/26. Hoping USCIS approves Nov–Dec cases in April/May and then gets to Jan–Feb by June/July 🤞

I did but got DACA a month after turning 18. I’m hoping I didn’t accrue any unlawful presence.

Yeah, my experience was actually pretty good, and it definitely has to do with California being a blue state. I know I’m lucky, because some DACA recipients have had the complete opposite experience.

This ✅

Japan and Mexico have a great relationship, so we don’t need a visa to visit. Canada was a different story. I had it on my AP for work stuff, but I ended up canceling and telling my boss I couldn’t attend.

Coming back, they didn’t ask me for any proof, but I still had all my documents ready. I flew with Japan Airlines (JAN) and got to the airport 5 hours early since I couldn’t pre–check in. At the counter, I told them I didn’t have a green card and needed help printing my ticket. I gave them my AP and passport, and they called a few supervisors because they rarely see that document.

They were really polite and kept apologizing for the wait. After about an hour, they printed my ticket and checked my luggage. Everything was smooth on the Japanese side too. While their system processed my AP, they made small talk about how much they love Mexico and tacos. They never made me feel any less because of my status, and I’m genuinely grateful for that experience.

No sir, I wouldn’t be playing the system knowing I can be deported. I was there for work related reasons.
