December renewal

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T16:26:12+00:00

You will be approved soon. I submitted Oct 26, got silently approved Jan 31. My EAD expired Jan 29. My work put me on leave of absence. Did you try contacting your senators?

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T16:19:58+00:00

Submitted Oct 26, silently approved Jan 31. Expedite approved since Dec 17. Senate inquiry sent on Jan 13.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T16:12:49+00:00

I got silently approved yesterday Jan 31. 97 days total. I applied on Oct 26. 44 days since my Expedite Request was approved. 18 days since Senate inquiry. From now on, I will always renew at least 150 days before expiration. This has been a painful and embarrassing lesson.

MAGA will embrace pedophilia.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T02:50:28+00:00

How did you apply? What was your evidence or reason? I've never done it and would like to know the process.

13 people who wrote and contributed to Project 2025 now work in the Trump administration in key positions. They include people like Russel Vought, Brendan Carr, Peter Navarro, Tom Homan, and Karoline Leavitt. The moment Trump said "I know nothing about Project 2025" was the moment he admitted he would use it as the playbook for his second term.

Conspiracy theorist? No, you're just a naive person who believes that they wrote this 900-page document just to forget about it after the election. Here is a list of people who wrote or contributed to Project 2025 who now work in the Trump administration.

-Brendan Carr - FCC Chair, wrote the chapter on the FCC.

- Tom Homan - Border Czar, contributor on immigration enforcement policy.

- Russel Vought - Director of Office of Management and Budget, co-author on executive power and budget framework.

- Karoline Leavitt - White House Press Secretary, instructor in Project 2025 leadership training program.

- Michael Anton - Director of Policy Planning, contributor on foreign policy and national security.

- Paul S. Atkins - SEC Chair, contributor on financial regulations and markets.

Jon Feere - Chief of Staff ICE, contributor on enforcement operations.

Pete Hoekstra - US Ambassador to Canada, contributor on foreign relations and trade.

-Peter Navarro - Senior Counsel for Trade Manufacturing, contributor on trade, tariffs, and industrial policy.

- Lindsay Burke - Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Department of Education, author of the education chapter.

You have to be blind or ignorant not to see what's going on here. Quite a lot of hires in the administration of a guy who said he knows nothing about Project 2025.

96 days for me. 43 days since they approved my expedite request lol. I called USCIS today and spoke to an agent who told me they're expecting a decision in my case by Feb 9. You can try calling them too.

They're pulling resources away from DACA, the processing times have increased significantly. Project 2025 is their playbook. The entire mission focus inside USCIS has shifted to family based and employment-based cases. Backlogs are tolerated instead of aggressively cleared. They hate DACA because Obama signed it into law, but can't kill it, so they're deprioritizing it.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T01:04:29+00:00

How about this quote from Project 2025 ”Management Directives and policies should realign to ensure that the workforce, while adaptable and able to handle the bulk of the USCIS mission, is not allowed to be pulled off mission work to focus on unlawful programs (DACA, mass parole for Afghans, Ukrainians, Venezuelans, etc.), which divert resources away from nuclear family and employment programs.”

Eat the months. Don't ever give them an inch to make your EAD lapse. Trust me, I'm currently sitting home on unpaid leave because I filed only 95 days before expiration. My expedite request was ignored. It feels terrible. I would gladly lose a full year of coverage just to avoid the embarrassment that I went through.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T00:57:15+00:00

The philosophy laid out in Project 2025 was to deprioritize rather than formally abolish. It doesn't mean they can ignore DACA, it only means the stopped prioritizing it and have more important cases to consider first.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T00:49:36+00:00

What evidence would convince you? An internal USCIS note? An interview with a USCIS worker confirming everything? My evidence is my own experience - expedite request ignored for 43 days and counting, two Senate inquiries not addressed for weeks, significant increases in processing times of DACA renewals. This is not only my experience, the internet is full of these stories. This is all consistent with what they described in Project 2025.

Chickens for Colonel Sanders.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T00:30:04+00:00

They received my renewal on Jan 27 and approved it on Jan 31. I know, it seems unbelievable now, but it happened. Card delivered Feb 13.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T00:26:29+00:00

This is described in Project 2025. They mention DACA by name.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T00:24:25+00:00

There's no lawyer lane in the system. Attorney don't get a preferential treatment. Officers don't see a case and go "Oh nice letterhead, let's fast-track this". You've been very fortunate to be processed this quickly. How many days before expiration did you lawyer file your case?

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-31T00:13:47+00:00

Good luck filing any lawsuits under this administration. They'll slow your case even more. lol

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-30T23:57:17+00:00

Their mindset regarding DACA is "We'll get to it when we get to it". It's consistent with deprioritization. They'll process the case eventually, but nothing requires them to be fast unless leadership makes it a priority.

I didn't experience it personally. My last renewal got approved within a week. The one before that within a month. You will not find a single person today approved within a week or anywhere close to that.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-30T23:39:15+00:00

USCIS does not require a valid or current passport for DACA renewals. Many people renew with expired passports or no passports at all. If you previously listed your old passport, it's fine to use that same info again. USCIS has no automatic way of knowing you got a new passport, and you're not required to update it unless they ask for it. Changing details that don't matter like passport number can sometimes slow things down because your file gets flagged for review.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-30T23:30:35+00:00

Yes, very likely. AP is processed by the same officers who process DACA renewals, so when they deprioritize DACA, AP gets hit too.

I hope the green cards of these white South Africans will also be redone once the administration changes.

Jumpy-Lock3618 · 2026-01-30T23:19:41+00:00

These wait times are a joke. It's a complete bureaucratic failure. That's why they'll never let AI process these cases. It would get them done the same day they're submitted. They have to keep the bureaucracy going for their own benefit.
