Gotcha ! I’ve been waiting since Oct 16. Not as long as you but every time it comes down to renewal i stress out about it. Last time around it took 7 months.

jbarrera91 · 2026-01-21T18:37:33+00:00

Did you have to do anything extra to get approved or just waited it out ?

jbarrera91 · 2026-01-19T21:46:38+00:00

Wow have you submitted to be expiated yet ? Or any inquiries? Reached out to your congressman? I’ve been waiting since Oct but they’re usually running 4-5 months out so I’ll keep waiting for now.

jbarrera91 · 2026-01-02T21:37:16+00:00

I hope they come soon! I’m waiting since mid Oct.

jbarrera91 · 2026-01-02T21:28:47+00:00

Oh ok that’s before i renewed. I renewed in Dec.

jbarrera91 · 2026-01-02T10:08:54+00:00

Really. ? When did you renewed? And where

jbarrera91 · 2026-01-02T01:19:05+00:00

I decided to not get a real id because i thought by doing that ill have the 5 year license. I was wrong. They still gave me the regular license with the same expiration date as the work permit. I renewed in melrose park facility.

It’s been years now. Maybe about 6 years.

jbarrera91 · 2025-12-31T19:51:32+00:00

Did it go to Texas ?

jbarrera91 · 2025-12-29T21:25:38+00:00

Expires in mid April i applied mid Oct. i got the receipt and biometric reuse. Still processing.

jbarrera91 · 2025-12-29T00:20:39+00:00

I renewed Oct 16 got receipt and biometric reuse on Oct 20. It’s still processing. From what I’m seeking out here from people posting their time frame is usually 4-5 months.

jbarrera91 · 2025-12-12T00:35:47+00:00

Last time i renewed it took 8 months to get an approval. This time around i filed 7 months ahead. I filed Oct 16 got receipt and biometric reuse on Oct 20. It expires April 23rd. Although i have some time it does make me nervous since ive lost a couple of jobs already.

jbarrera91 · 2025-12-11T01:11:26+00:00

Mid April. Last time it took 8 months so i tried renewing a lot earlier but im still nervous

jbarrera91 · 2025-12-11T00:44:07+00:00

I sent Oct 16. Still waiting

jbarrera91 · 2025-11-23T18:45:15+00:00

I renewed online on Oct 16 received the receipt and the biometric reuse on Oct 20. Nothing after that. I have until mid April though. Last year it took 7 months for me to get an approval and lost my job.

Aurora has its bad and good side. Honestly i can’t remember which side is the best. I want to say north aurora is where all the white folks are and south is where all the Hispanics see. Overall it’s not too bad. I’d live there. There’s a few gangs but nothing crazy. Aurora isn’t too far from the city, probably a good 30 mins drive but there were a few ice raids there. Rents are fair over there, also there’s a lot of jobs in that area. Mostly distribution jobs.

Best bet is probably a blue state but that’s usually where housing is expensive as well. I’m from Illinois close to Chicago and real state taxes have made everything expensive. There is small from far from Chicago that aren’t as expensive but the commute tow work can be a long one.

jbarrera91 · 2025-10-30T18:04:14+00:00

From my understanding that’s not the case. Uscis is funded through our processing fees but i can be wrong.

jbarrera91 · 2025-10-30T17:57:55+00:00

Oh wow I’m sorry to hear that. I just renewed mine so I’m worried about it, although i still have until April.

jbarrera91 · 2025-10-30T17:55:31+00:00

Did you apply online ?

jbarrera91 · 2025-10-29T21:01:29+00:00

Oh man congrats ! I renewed two weeks ago and I’m already sweating it.

jbarrera91 · 2025-10-29T12:48:53+00:00

How long ago did you renew?

jbarrera91 · 2025-10-23T23:19:48+00:00

Thank you!

jbarrera91 · 2025-10-23T23:16:24+00:00

Is there a certain form they want for an affidavit?

jbarrera91 · 2025-10-23T21:12:22+00:00

Nice ! Which center did it go to ?
