USCIS Provides Guidance on DACA Renewal Requests Affected by Mail Service Issues

USCIS stated that it will accept DACA renewal requests from individuals who resubmit their DACA renewal request with individualized proof that the request was originally mailed in a timely manner and that the cause for receipt after the 10/5/17 deadline was the result of USPS mail service error. USCIS will also contact requestors who timely filed their renewal applications at the proper location but were rejected.

More guidance from USCIS is forthcoming.
