The courts only allowed people with excising DACA to renew but the only difference was the AP. They are not allowed to request that any longer. That stayed the same from the day they announced the end of the program. All the courts essentially did was allow the recipients to be protected form deportation two more years and have a work permit. All AP from October when they ended the program should have already passed through USCIS and should now be with their recipients. This is why I say that AOS applicants are not affected by the DACA updates.

I bet that’s why you got yours so early.   The AP must be slow thus making the combo filers slow.    

 

I wonder if this is because of the courts overreach on blocking the end of DACA? Weren’t they filing for AP?   

Unfortunately Daca recipients only had the right to solicit the EAD and DACA. Once it was announced that they were ending the program no New AP were to be issues and Applications were rejected and fees returned. All already processing cases and already approved cases would be validated and respected. So that wouldn't have anything to do with any delays in AOS cases. 

I applied Nov 20th and had my Bio done Dec 20. Status changed online to ready to schedule appointment on Jan 15 and now its on appointment schedule on Feb 14 date a month from now!  Good Luck everyone!

Hi, I have a similar case but I applied July 2017. USC spouse and I have DACA. We filed I-130 and with EWI. Now we are stuck because it still says it's in process and we are not sure what else we have to do? Please help thank you in advance. 

Did you get advance parole while on DACA?

Sandy0616,

Were you ever ordered deported?

 

No, Thank god I have had no run ins with the law either. This is what compelled my lawyer to take that rout. I was getting advanced parole to visit my grandma because she had surgery.  I would also like to update that my status has changed to interview scheduled for march 21st! I'm So excited! Hope all goes well for all of you!

That's awesome so you got an interview just a couple months after it appeared "case ready to be scheduled"!  That gives me hope!

Please update your timeline.

I am also from Grand Rapids and filed Nov 16

Waiting for interview schedule 

I filed Nov 20th and am awaiting an interview as well. I filed from Lansing. 

You have probably figured it out by now. Yet I would like to share what my husband and I have accomplished thus far. We applied for the I-130 and it was approved, about a year later I received DACA and I applied for Advance Parole. Made my legal entry and got my passport stamped. The AOS can only be done this way because we entered without inspection.  We did have a choice to do this through consular processing but that would take twice as long and we would have to spend almost 3 times as much. by doing it through consular processing you must also obtain a pardon. Being married to a USC allows you to apply in the US and have it approved before you leave making your stay out of the country a lot shorter. Any way, we were teen parents so we didn't want to take any chances or have an extra 3,000 to spend on that. So we opted for AOS. After making my legal entry it was then we applied for the I-485 (received on 11/20). Because my DACA does not expire until 07/2017 my lawyer choose to bypass the Advance parole and the EAD. (this can either speed things up or shoot me in the foot if the AOS  appointment takes too long ) but I trust her so we went with it. Thus far I have had my Bio metrics appointment and mt status online has changed to "Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview" this was on January 5th, 2018! I'm excited but here comes the real waiting game because i hope the actual scheduling of the interview does not take forever. Any way hope that helps. If any one wants and actual time line with exact dates let me know.
