Your senator will have an immigration liaison staff member whose job it is to help people like you deal with USCIS. They are able to contact USCIS directly and get real information.

Quick question about Advanced Parole. I am asking here since I have been with this forum all this time.

As part of our AOS filing, we also filed for Advanced Parole. It was approved along with work permit. It has EAD/Advanced Parole.

For our wedding anniversary, we want to visit Canada side Niagara falls. I heard it's more beautiful from Canada site.

Just want to make sure if it is okay go go out of USA and be able to come back to the USA as long as it's within EAD/Advanced Parole expiration date.

When we first applied we told that we want to goto Bahamas, but since it was received few months after the wedding, we end up going to Key west for honeymoon last year.

Advanced Parole was never used.

Do you think there would be any problem?

BTW, no green card yet.... Still waiting

There should be no issues since you had your advance parole that's its purpose. ;) Though you may want to reapply for your EAD/ AP they recomend doing so atleast 3 months before it expires.

I opened a service request by calling customer service at USICS. I was told to wait 15 days and I should hear back from someone. Well after 15 days still no reply.

Few days ago I was able to make an appointment at Atlanta USICS office to get status update. We went there today.

After looking up the system, I was told that there was no update in the system and last update has "in transit "

This is a concern because when I checked status on USICS for my case, it was showing last update as "4/30/2012"

The customer service person at Atlanta USICS office opened another service request with expedite to status update because EAD is expiring soon, and recommend to submit another i-765 and can take up to 90 days.

I was told that I should hear back within 2 weeks with status information.

While I was there, I was told that our case was picked for an audit just today.

Does anyone know what an audit means? We are very concern about our case, since it's approaching expiration of EAD card.

I think I have pretty much exhausted all options at this point.

Should we wait another two weeks or should we go ahead and enlist help from my senator ?

I just checked i-765 form and it says that for renewal, fee is waived.. is that correct?

I think you should contact your senator ASAP, they can contact the USCIS office directly and find out exactly what is going on. The USCIS phone line is useless in my opinion, and service requests don't seem to help much in this situation. In my case I had my green card approval a week after the senator contacted USCIS. Others have had the same experience.

Was your case transferred to California? You should have got notifications if it was -one that it was transferred and one that it was received.

I am not sure about the fee waiver for the I-765, very few I-485 applications take this long so I don't know of anyone who has had to renew their EAD.

I received I-797C that the case was transferred to California service center. I didn't received another I-797C that case was received by California service center.

Hmmm, I wonder if my file was never received by California service center.

I only got one official letter in the mail about the transfer (the I-797c), but definitely received emails/text messages of both the transfer from NBC and the receipt at CSC. Are you registered for updates on your case on the USCIS website? If so you should have got a text/email message of both transfer and receipt (although these updates are not always reliable).

Good luck with your senator. Mine was very helpful and worked fast. He called CSC and requested my application to be pulled. My application was approved a week later.

I received a letter, response from CSC in regard to service request that I opened here at Atlanta office.

It says

"Your case is currently being adjudicated. You should receive a notice of action within 45 days.

A notice of action may be in a form of Approval Notice, Denial Notice, Transfer Notice, Request for Evidence, Notice of Intent to Deny or Notice of Intent to Revoke"

In the mean time, I spoke to rep from senior US Senator Saxy Chambliss to look into my case. I am hopeful for a faster response.
