USCIS on Timing of DACA Renewal Applications

09 Oct USCIS on Timing of DACA Renewal Applications

USCIS Service Center Operations (SCOPS) has advised that the processing times for renewal I-821D applications is 90 days at all four service centers. USCIS also noted that it encourages individuals to submit DACA renewal applications between 150 and 120 days in advance of the expiration date of the current EAD, and that if the renewal application is filed at least 120 days in advance and there is a delay, the service center may provide employment authorization for a short period of time until the renewal is adjudicated.
