Approved June 30th

Country Venezuela

GOD IS GOOD!!

Hi friends,

I am from Venezuela and I submitted my DACA for renewal on September 17th 2025, and received an approval on June 29th 2026.

I am relieved and thankful.

We have hit 50 reported approvals everyone. Approvals started coming in just one week ago, last Wednesday. This is great news! I really pray for everyone to see approvals tomorrow or in the coming week!! ❤️❤️🙌

Just got approved a couple hours ago!

Receipt date was Dec 29th.

Biometrics: Feb 17th.

Silent Approval: June 30th, 2026

One congressional inquiry. One expedite request. One outside of normal processing times request. I called them 15+ times and bugged them haha. I think it helped.

Thank you to everyone in the incredible community for your support. I don't think I could have made it through without y'all. Sending love, and may everyone be approved soon!

No he parado de llorar 😭😭😭

I went for a hike with my daughter earlier today just talking about what we would do for the next two years if I’m approved and planning for whether I need to leave or not. More resignation than anything…

We got home and I checked the site for 1000th time today and I see the document!

I lost everything this year… we may be looking at losing our apartment this month too. I’m a divorced mother of two. My savings ran out two weeks ago. Even my boyfriend and I broke up because of this. I’ve had to get help for my mental health. And actually be admitted because of the toll this took on me.

I know that we’re all in the same boat and I’m proud of how some many if you are keeping your head up, but I hope we don’t have to go through this again—I’ll retiring early to Brazil in two years. But I’m not going this shit again!

Hello all :)!!! Mostly silent user here.

I just wanted to post saying I got approved!! I’m from Malawi (partial ban). I renewed on 1/28, biometrics done 2/16. Expired 6/11. I did one congressional inquiry with an expedite request via them around early June which hasn’t come back yet (they said give it 30 days), and my manager provided a letter for me as well stating why I was essential which I added to my supporting documents.

Seeing people get approved from here gave me hope and I wanted to add to that! I’m praying everyone else gets approved and hopefully this will all be behind us soon.

Much love and hang in there 💖!!!
