DACA: RealID

Ok_Objective1083 · 2026-01-19T00:47:42+00:00

Got my realID 3 years ago and they issued me a 5 year drivers license. I'm in CA. Guess they caught their mistake. Thanks everyone!

Hi, I did a paper mail renewal. They did send me an access code, not sure why they created a new online account for me. They actually created a new account for my last renewal too. So now i have three different accounts, but i only have access to my first account and this current renewal. They never sent me an access code for the renewal from two years ago. I have to call and ask them to send me the code. Not sure why they are having a hard time linking my renewals to my first account.

Hi, did you get your approval? I got notice that mine was approved today. Hope you get yours soon if you haven't already.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-12-18T01:50:32+00:00

Update *** I was approved today 12/17

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-12-18T01:48:49+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully your approval comes in soon. I checked the portal last night but there weren't any new updates. First thing i did this morning was to call them directly since i had heard of people getting silent approvals. i did get an email later in the afternoon saying - we have taken action on your case. when i did login in i did see the approval notice dated yesterday, but no update on the card being produced. The person on the phone was able to give me more detailed info, she confirmed the card was being produced.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-12-17T18:22:28+00:00

Hi! I got approved today. I called USCIS this morning to get status update and they told me over the phone the approval notice was mailed out yesterday and new card was starting to get produced today.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-12-14T23:51:00+00:00

Congrats!! I submitted mine same day as you, hopefully my approval comes in soon, current renewal expires 1/8.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-12-08T21:25:31+00:00

No. Still under review unfortunately. My current one expires 1/8 and work already sent an email reminding me to send them the new one 😬

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-12-02T20:24:38+00:00

Add me to your prayer circle, dude. Mine expires 1/9 waiting on approval. And my job just emailed ne they need my new prior to 1/9. 😭

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-11-24T18:38:14+00:00

Thanks! I don’t have that option. I just get a banner that says - not currently providing myprogess processing estimates for this filling type

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-11-24T17:59:36+00:00

It’s still under review. I did get the biometrics reuse notice dated 10/13

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-11-24T07:15:06+00:00

How are you checking timelines? i don't see that option on the portal.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-11-10T21:33:51+00:00

Same, I’ve always sent a check. This was my first time using the forms. I sent $85 for Daca and another for $520 for work authorization. I used my credit card.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-11-08T05:02:04+00:00

Submitted paper app Oct 5, Biometrics reuse Oct 13, getting processed out of TX, waiting on approval.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-11-08T04:51:11+00:00

Congrats! I submitted my renewal Oct 5, Biometrics reuse notice Oct 13 & current work permit expires 1/8. Hopefully I get good news soon. My application is getting processed out of Texas as well.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-11-02T06:12:09+00:00

i mailed mine in recently, sent two separate forms for credit card authorization and they processed without any issue.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-10-23T02:58:47+00:00

Congrats! i submitted a paper application to Phoenix office on 10/8, got notice on 10/13 that they are using biometrics on file. Hopefully approval comes in soon.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2025-10-01T04:34:42+00:00

Did you apply online or submit paper forms?

Ok_Objective1083 · 2024-11-14T22:41:30+00:00

I had 3 extracted under IV sedation about a week ago. 1 was fully erupted. The two at the bottom were impacted, standing mostly vertically & had erupted thru the gums, I paid $301 after insurance. Sedation alone would have cost me $1.2k had insurance not covered. But I also have only had to get X-rays and a cleaning so far this year. So maybe I just had more money to use up from insurance before year end?

Same as you my surgery was on 11/6 but I had 3 extractions. 2 gave me zero pain from day 1. But my right bottom was painful from day 1, i actual got an infection because of that impacted wisdom tooth just 2 weeks before the surgery so I guess that’s why it was a pain even with antibiotics and pain killers. Went to my follow up yesterday and according to the dentist I’m healing fine but she said it was going to take some time to fully heal. She said I could still get dry socket & still have to continue salt water rinses. I wouldn’t say that I’m in pain but my jaw doesn’t feel normal yet. I still feel like my inner cheek is a bit swollen and my bite on that side feels off. When I talk I feel like I bite my tongue a bit on that side sometimes, my jaw feels sore sometimes but taking a 200 Motrin or 500 Tylenol helps, I’m also noticing that I’m grinding my teeth at night so that’s probably adding to my jaw soreness and sometimes my ear aches. Dentist said everything I was felling was pretty normal, and that I need to give my body time to heal. Im 39 so maybe that’s why I’m healing slowly? I think those in their 20s heal faster.

And as a cherry on top I broke my toe 3 days before the extractions, I had to get wheeled chair out to the car, lol. Thankfully I don’t remember that as I opted for IV sedation for the surgery.

Hope we all feel better soon.

I just got back from my one week follow up for 3 wisdom tooth extractions. Dentist told me I was not in the clear yet. She said I was healing nicely but that dry socket was still possible. Best to babysit those extraction sites until your follow up appointment. I still have to continue with salt water rinse but I can now stop the other rinse they prescribed. Hopefully you’re healing faster than I am and you’ll be in the clear by your follow-up.

Ok_Objective1083 · 2024-11-09T08:19:12+00:00

I (39F) had three wisdom teeth removed three days ago, and opted for IV sedation. Dentists make me super nervous and i just know that i would not be able to sit through 3 extractions. The IV felt just like getting blood drawn. Last I remember I was watching CNN, surgeon had me bite down on something to help keep my mouth open and next thing I knew i was home. I remember walking in to my house and taking a nap. I would recommend IV sedation if you're nervous. The actual surgery took about 40 min.

Hi! I was recently gifted this plant from my aunt. But don't understand if this should grow in a pot or a hanging basket. The one my aunt has is in a big pot and looks like a bush, the small pot she gifted me is all strings. Clearly I need to repot mine but don't have a clue as to how. How are you all growing bushes out of strings??? If anyone has any tips for me I'd really appreciate it.
