No. On that website, find where you can download a Privacy ree

 

Did you send them a privacy release form after filling out the comment section?.. If not You need to fill out that Privacy release form on your senators website. Print , Fill it out, scan and email it to their office OR you can print out the form and personally drop it off at their offices OR you can fax it to them. Based on your profile you are in Virginia you have 2 senators. I looked them up for you. 

https://www.warner.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/helpwithfederalagencies   ( at the bottom there is a link to download and print the Privacy release form) 

 

https://www.kaine.senate.gov/services/help  ( Make sure you fill the privacy release form after completing this section).

 

IMPORTANT TIP: 1. Don't send anything this weekend because the offices  are closed. Wait till Monday and to send your forms or else they will just be buried. 

                                2. After submiting your inquiry call the office and ask them if they received it.

                                3. If you don't hear anything in 2 weeks, call the senators office and follow up.

                                4. You can contact another senator if you feel like the one you contacted initially isn't doing a good job or is too slow in getting you a response. 

 Remember: The key to getting things done is persistence.

                                  

                            

Thanks so Much ..God bless you abundantly..I really appreciate

@Stillwinning!!!😊 please how long did it take you to get your EAD card renewed when you sent in for the renewal the time you gat it renewed back then..cuz I am very pissed off with this immigration people ,they haven’t approved my renewal since October that I sent it in ..that’s over 5 months and they have started sending out EAD cards for those that applied for renewal in middle January..that’s highly insane on their part ..my employer keeps asking me for the real card ..if it was in other company I would have been laid off ..I’m serious angry right now ..

I know my saying be patient to everyone is too cliche! But worry and anxiety do nothing for us..they rather disturb our peace of mind. I sent my renewal Feb 2019 and got approved Dec 2019..now hows that?😏 the good part is that it expires Dec2020..but then I have no further need for it now that I have my Greencard. On the flip side if you feel pressured, ask your rep to step in!👍

But I think you said you sent the renewal to a wrong address ? If you didn’t send to a wrong place then that’s a very long month for them to approve it .i want to ask you what it was showing on the website when you track the case number ..and were they also approving some people that you submitted after you back then ..cause that thing makes some one worries so bad and lastly did you ask you rep to step in before they could approve your ead..cause my employer has been bothering me to bring the actual card that it doesn’t take that long ...I dnt know what to tell them again ..

Did you send it to Vermont Service Center? Contact your congressman to make inquiry on your behalf about your case.

I am in the same boat as you.  When did your EAD expired? 
You have the extension letter right?

Talk to your employer and educate them about the legality of the letter, once they put you in the e-verify, it will all be clear. My employer never had any problem(yet) and I have been looking for new job as well, no one has given me a hard time, the letter is very clear. 
 

stop getting yourself in an angry frame of mind, helps no one and no one would want to listen to you. Just stay calm and confident when you talk to employers. Good vibes your way!

Yes as you may recall I've posted it severally. My attorney actually sent it to NBC saying she knows what she's doing..and that she's the attorney here..ended up delaying me...so that might be the biggest factor. Whenever I checked the status, it said "Fingerprint review completed" then when NBC transferred to Vermont, it changed to "Case was transferred" to another USCIS office... until it was approved. Yes had to involve the Senator!👍

You applied Jan 8th and got your rad card March 9th ..so funny ..we that we filed October have not even received anything ..I think this Uscis people are sometimes unpredictable,I will send them mails next week ..cuz I’m getting furious right now !!! 

It is quite unpredictable, some of the renewals (EAD) took 8 months, this time it was less than 2. Good luck with your EAD, hope you receive it soon

Hi!

 

I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is ok to receive unemployment benefits and whether it will have an impact on our green card or citizenship petition. I just got laid off because of the virus and I am not sure whether it is ok to apply for unemployment as a green card applicant.

 

Stay safe and healthy!

Guys I am so confused... about a month ago I got a letter from my local office saying that they will be denying my i-485 because I was not able to provide i-360 receipt (i got the receipt late). I was advised by some of you and an attorney as well to write a letter to the local office and officer that interviewed me to not issue NTA and I’ve also attached i-360 receipt. I saw this update on the case tracker... does this mean I don’t have to re- file i-485?

i360 sent August 28 2018

RFE (police clearance) received in mid September 2018

RFE answered and received October 23 2018

i360 APPROVED March 18 2020

 

I am beyond happy, I cannot believe this moment has finally come, even in these hard times with the virus that is trending right now, I have one thing to be truly happy about!

My case got approved and one chapter has come to an end, I know I still have a lot to go in this journey, but I feel like the most hardest and toughest part is over. I had a flashback to back in 2018 when I felt hopeless, scared, lonely and was I feeling like nothing or no one can save me. But I was patient and I never lost faith in myself. I always believed there is something good even in the worst things in life. I guess this was my present.

 

To everyone still waiting for approvals - never lose hope and always believe in yourself!

 

P.S. Evidences I sent :

- my own personal statement

- 2 statements from my friends

- only one utility bill

-credit card statement

-pictures of abuse and wounds

-statements from primary care doctor and dentist

 

I did not have psychological evaluation or police reports or statements from shelter.

 

Good luck everyone!

what was the RFE ?

Good.👍 Seriously this whole situation is overwhelming and evolves by the minute. I pray🙏 this passes real quick and civilisation returns!😏 I feel bad for the people who were laid off..businesses that had to shut down..etc..didn't see this coming! Can't wait for it to be all over!🙏
