USCIS has reported that the median processing time for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) renewals has reached 2.3 months, the longest duration since 2016. This increase in processing time has raised concerns among DACA recipients, many of whom are experiencing delays of over six months, resulting in lapsed work permits and potential job losses without any removal orders issued.
Key Details:
- Median processing time: 2.3 months
- Longest duration since: 2016
- Individual cases: Some taking over 6 months
- Impact: Work permits lapsing and jobs lost
The prolonged processing times are causing significant anxiety for DACA recipients, as they face uncertainty regarding their work authorization and employment stability. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
