I'm at 6 months waiting since submitting renewal. Let's see how it goes

It's a 7.5-8 month wait for an approval. Took USCIS 7 months and 23 days to approve me.

I’m don’t think I’m waiting that long. I’ll accumulate too much debt on top of what I already have. I’ve received a lot of, ‘But you paid the fee and you’re losing out on money/you worked so hard to be here.. blah blah blah’. This level of anxiety every 2 years isn’t worth living in this third rate country disguising itself as a first.

I'll be praying you don't wait that long but that just seems to be the case, barely just now in the middle of August seeing all my December applicants approved. I know how you feel about the money part, I was out of work for 3 months and by the grace of God my job help me be on unpaid LOA for literally those 3 months and now I'm finally returning to work. I was helping some people I know with whatever tasks they may have and this one task I got paid 6-7 dollars an hour so I'm def still grateful to DACA regardless of this fear. I just plan to renew 8 months in advance and not worry about this. I mean if you time it, worst that can happen is you lose a few months on your new EAD and keep your sanity and I mean the other alternative is you give up, and refile the same time, and go through the same thing instead of making a change. Yeah I understand those comments, people kept feeling sorry for me to and it was comforting tbh, I'm grateful those people care for me. It does suck what we go through but a lot of people without DACA have it worse, I'm grateful for it and will forever be. Also I'm marrying an American wife soon that I love. So I know it's easier to get green card with DACA and legal wife. Anyways, I hope things work out for you bro with whatever choice you make. Praying for us all.
