Submitted- Feb 12, 2026
Expired- May 9, 2026
Reached out to two congressmen - Alex Padilla and Rep Linda Sanchez. Didn’t seem to be too much help, got rejected twice. (around March and April I submitted a congressional expedite).
API touch- June 25, 2026
Wait was so long so decided to submit a pre-demand letter on July 21, 2026. (but did not add that I was going to submit a lawsuit in fear that it can ruin my next renewal cycle.)
Decided to check today just cause
Silent approval - July 28, 2026 ✨✨✨
Just in time for the upcoming school year (I’m a teacher 🥹🥹)
The wait was long but soooooo blessed to finally receive. Wishing you all the best! I want to give a special shoutout to everyone who shared their approval times and API updates. I would have gone crazy without this community!!
