VAWA, Part 18

[MGJ_NY 106]

Hi Fam! I just received my EAD/AP but i noticed it doesn’t have the fingerprint, it says not available. 2 of my previous EAD/AP have fingerprints on them, so im just curious about this one. Will it affect future travel?

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?

 

Looks like they might have changed their mind based on the new evidence

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!

You can apply for unemployment, it will not cause any impact in your green or naturalization ok.

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

Yeah it’s so sad that these people didn’t even look at my case ,but there is nothing I can do other than just accepting my fate ,cuz life could be worse .. but that just drives me mad ..but I dnt care or give a ** anymore ..I will wait till they do whatever they have to do ...having green card is very very pertinent but there is more to life than having green card or USA blue passport ..so I will just have to wait and hope their delay doesn’t affect me,now that it’s hard to keep a job ..everybody is getting laid off ...

   please can you tell me how long it took you to have your own EAD renewed and what do you mean by this time it was less than 2..I dnt really get that part ..thanks and God bless us and make life worth living for us in Jesus name

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!  

Thanks so much for your response,how about if the card didn’t come out till the 180 extension finishes what’s gonna happen..I’m not trying to be pessimistic here just preparing for the worst ...will I keep showing them the same extension letter

I may have to do the same 💆🏻‍♀️ Mine was sent to NBC as well. On top of that, USCIS is not replying to my senator 🙄😂 but I am good till September, so not gonna panic, especially now with all this happening in the world

Were you sent receipt of extension letter by NBC when you mistakenly sent to NBC instead of Vermont ..were you issued extension letter by NBC or they transferred it to Vermont and Vermont issued you extension. Letter and how long does it take them to get back to you with the extension letter

if we have 2-3 months left on your extension and still no new card, i will involve my lawyer, ask employer to give me a letter saying how i am an essential employee etc, involve my congressman etc etc... basically throw everything at them - BY THIS TIME WE WILL BE BEYONG NORMAL PROCESSING TIME, and can press for things, right now they will give the same old answer- "we are working on it" 🤷‍♀️

It was sent to NBC, not yet transferred to Vermont. I have been trying to get something out of the congressman but USCIS has not replied to them yet and now the whole thing with COVID-19, everything is in standstill.  

I got the extension letter within 2-3 weeks I think. 

on March 3, I got an alert and a letter from NBC saying that they have applied my fingerprints to the renewal application, so some movement on it finally. 

Vermont had told my congressman that my I-485 and EAD renewal is under the jurisdiction of NBC, so I suppose they are aware and cool with it? Honestly i dunno, things with USCIS are a complete chaos since this administration took over, they constantly change behind the scene operations. 

 

all we can do is have PATIENCE and be PROACTIVE without being too pushy.
