Made a few new updates to the tracker over the past couple days:

https://daca-tracker.vercel.app/

New features:

• Added a “By the Numbers” section with live aggregated stats
• Added a “Median Processing by Period” card that automatically updates as new approvals come in
• Added new filters on the Explore page:
  • filter by IOE prefix/batch
  • filter by country
  • filter submissions from countries affected by recent visa/travel restrictions

Some interesting stats from the current data:

• 132 approvals currently reported
• 577 submissions still pending
• 49% of approved cases experienced a lapse after expiration
  • Median lapse length was 45 days, ranging from 1-112 days
• Applicants renewed an average of 118 days before expiration, while approvals averaged 147 days
• 44 submissions came from countries affected by 75 visa-pause countries, with 1 approval currently reported from Jamaica

The goal still isn’t to predict exact approval dates, just to give everyone a better sense of overall trends and timelines from real submissions.

Appreciate everyone continuing to contribute data and feedback. The more timelines submitted, the more useful the trends become for everyone waiting. Please remember to update your submission once you get approved so the data stays as accurate as possible!

Edit: Corrected submission count from 49 → 44 after rechecking dataset.

Hey everyone, I built a tool to help aggregate and track DACA renewal timelines:

https://daca-tracker.vercel.app/

I wanted a better way to view and understand renewal timelines instead of having everything scattered across posts. People can anonymously submit their timeline, like receipt date and approval date, and the site aggregates everything into things like average processing time, recent approvals, and IOE batch progress so you can get a sense of what USCIS might be working on. You can also explore and filter submissions to spot patterns more easily.

Privacy
One thing I really cared about is privacy. There are no names, A-numbers, emails, or anything personally identifiable collected. IOE is optional and only the first few digits if you choose to include it, and everything is fully anonymous.

Data
To get things started, I initially populated the site with recent approvals shared here over the past couple of weeks.

If you’ve recently filed or been approved, it would help a lot if you added your timeline. Even a small number of additional data points makes the trends more useful for everyone. When you submit, you get a unique token that you can use later to update your case once you’re approved.

I’m open to feedback on what would actually make this more useful. Things like what kind of data or visualizations you’d want to see, anything confusing/missing, or features that would make this better for the community.

Hope this helps a bit while we’re all dealing with the waiting.
