Hello, I wanted to share that I was able to get a temporary drivers license while my renewal is pending.

What I booked: DL renewal

What I took to the DMV:
- renewal receipt
- expired dl
- expired work permit
- social Security card just in case

The DMV will then request a lawful presence verification, and it will most likely come back ineligible so a request is submitted to Austin.

Took a month to get something in the mail that I was verified then took that to the DMV and got a temporary drivers license.

My renewal is still pending.

I am not a camera person whatsoever.
I want a g7x and the same picture quality for pics for social media. I however don’t want the same price tag! What is your recommendation to something similar below $450 if possible. Again I am not educated on cameras so my budget and expectations might be ridiculous. In the us if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!

Submitted November 25
Biometrics reused November 25
Expired: April 23
First inquiry request denied within 10 days, expedite request denied in April.
Submitted a second inquiry request today and within an hour I got the generic email saying I am within normal time frame even though the agent agreed it’s taking longer than normal.

I am feeling paralyzed.

I renewed November 25th. My EAD expired April 23rd. Idk what else to do. I submitted an inquiry request early April and was just told to wait.

My expedite request was denied.

Reached out to congressperson and they were told the same thing I was.

Dps submitted a save verification request.

I am applying for an apartment with my significant other soon and I need to fill out paperwork.

I am sad. Every week I see people say it’s our week and it isn’t. I’m trying not be negative but it’s all I can think about.

Just needed to vent somewhere.

I need advice.

I work for local government in a major city, and I’ve been in my role for a few years now. This is the first time my renewal has taken this long, even though I submitted it with plenty of time. It has now been over five months, and my I-765 has expired.

My work authorization expired about a week ago, but my job hasn’t said anything yet. I don’t remember having to submit my new employment card two years ago, so I’m not sure if they’re actively tracking it or not.

They also recently announced a hiring freeze for up to six months, which means no one new will be hired.

My family is encouraging me to put in my two weeks so that I remain rehireable in the future, since I would like to stay in local government. They’re worried I could be fired at any moment.

I’m honestly unsure what my options are with HR because I’m scared to say anything. At the same time, leaving abruptly is easier said than done, especially since no one at work knows my situation.

What would you do? I’m supposed to be moving in July and will need paystubs and need an income in general. I also have a pension.

I had to submit the request without evidence. on top of that, I thought I must have missed it the first time so I ended up submitting two requests which I don’t think they will like.
