The jokes are magic 

We have been duly encouraged by a respectable member of this thread, so here's another magic official VAWA-Thread joke:

---------------------------------------------

THE SPECIAL DEAL

 

An immigrant doctor can't find a job in a hospital, so he opens his own clinic and puts up a sign outside:

"GET TREATMENT FOR $20 -- IF NOT CURED, GET BACK $100."

 

An immigration lawyer thinks that this is a great opportunity to earn $100, so he goes to the clinic.

 

Lawyer:  I have lost my sense of taste.

Doctor:  Nurse, bring medicine from box #22 and put 3 drops in his mouth.

Lawyer:  Ugh -- this is kerosene!

Doctor:  Congratulations; your sense of taste is restored.  Give me $20.

 

The annoyed lawyer goes back after a few days to recover his money.

Lawyer:  I have lost my memory.  I cannot remember anything.

Doctor:  "Nurse, bring medicine from box #22 and put 3 drops in his mouth.

Lawyer (annoyed):  This is kerosene.  You gave this to me last time for restoring my taste.

Doctor:  Congratulations; you got your memory back.  Give me $20.

 

The fuming lawyer pays him and then comes back a week later, determined to get back $100.

Lawyer:  My eyesight has become very weak -- I can't see at all.

Doctor:  Well, I don't have any medicine for that, so take this $100.

Lawyer (staring at the note):  But this is $20, not $100!

Doctor:  Congratulations; your eyesight is restored.  Give me $20.

Thank you @sandranj for guiding with the best answers! tysm! I wanted work permit badly since I didnt EAD for few years, therefore my lawyer said there is one way to get it now that is, if we submit COR to court, they will stamp me and I can apply work permit after that. the total cost with the lawyers fees is $4000+. Since I have no knowledge about this area I wanted second opinion as it is costly for me. I do not even now if it will take a long time for the court to stamp me, etc. My lawyer does not state these things clearly and im in a dilemma if I should proceed with COR or not. Just the timeline, risk (if any) and $ is are my utmost concern. 

If you can provide any info or your best opinion @sandranj I would be ever grateful! you are a God sent angel ❤️ TYSM

In your case that you are in removal proceedings If you want a  work permit then you should file the  I-485 /I-765 with the Court. But the Court will issue the work permit just after the I-360 approval, or if you apply for cancelation of removal.l.I answered your question before and I said you didn't need to file for cancelation of removal because I understood that you just wanted to know if to adjust status you have to file cancelation of removal. Your attorney probably has experience with COR(cancelation of removal) then you have to trust him.I know the basics of COR,but it's not my expertise.

Hello family. I need a little guidance on an hot topic: EAD extension. 
I didn’t understand what is it and how can be granted. Could someone explain it? 
is it connected with a renewal? How long is the extension for?

the Extension is for 6 months. yes it connected to renewal. while you have pending EAd, the expiring one gives you 6 months extra with the receipt notice.

here is the link that explains everything.

So in February 2021 they printed your green card and in April 2021 they approved it? Was that not the other way around? On February you have already knew that you got approved?

That’s the question am asking my self all the time, if they print the card both has to have the same date right?  Maybe there’s something that we need to know
