Rejected EAD & Advance Parol

[CanTex 1]

Yes, I supplied the I-797 (Notice of Action from the I-485). I called the help line today and they said that I was misinterpreting the renewal notice (she thinks). She said to copy the instructions I have, hi-light them, return it with my original package and the checks for renewal of my work permit and advance parole. If I am right, they will grant my application and return my $$. If I am wrong, they will grant my application and keep my money.

What choice do I have - none, nadda, zip. So I did as she said and it'll go in the mail tomorrow with my covering letter.

I'll let you know what happens

You send the check, you won't get them back... guarantee it.

Crisis averted!!!! Received an e-mail from USCIS this morning apologizing for the error in rejecting documents.

No payment required - I was right - Yeah thank you Visa Journey. They are sending renewed EAD and AP today for

no fees.

I had the package already to send on my lunch hour with the cheques (over $700). So glad they emailed me this

morning before I put them in the mail.

Thanks to everyone again here on VJ for your knowledge.

Yipee!!! Am so happy for you! Am glad USCIS sent you an email on time. 700 dollars is a lot of money! and especially when you know renewing the documents are supposed to be free. So you don't have to even send the documents to them at all???? Now hoping they can approve your GC too :-)All the best.

So, two months after I sent my renewal for my EAD, still nothing. USCIS erred in rejecting my documents (one month) May 20 - June 21. They acknowledged their error and advised that the scanned documents they kept would be forwarded onto the proper place for processing (June 23). Online status shows that as of July 12 NVC received my documents for processing. My work permit expires August 19. Processing times for EAD renewal is 3 months. I called yesterday and the nice operator put in an expedited request of inquiry for me. I got home, last nite, to an email saying that I am still within processing time so I cannot request an expedite.

My question - what happens if they do not renew my work permit before my EAD expires?? The operator had indicated that she "thought" that I could attend for an info pass appointment and request an interim EAD? I have never heard of that, but then I don't know everything that USCIS has to offer.

Has anyone ever experienced this situation?

Thank you for any help.

Just to a note to say that after an email to say my card production was in process, then the next day my application was approved, a little in reverse, I received my renewed EAD Card. Thank you to all who helped me get this going in the right direction. USCIS does make mistakes and it takes time to turn it around, but thank you to visa journey members to keep us on the straight and narrow and get things done the right way.
