No updates after K1 Green Card Interview

[Nisrine chabani c 0]

I attended my green card interview on 2/8/21 which was about 3 months ago. The officer in Hartford gave me a form that showed I supplied everything needed but they still need to hold the case because the officer could not locate my medical files, which he was supposed to have from the embassy. No updates for 3 months. I have submitted inquiries online and mailed letters for updates but no response. My work permit expires 6/1/21 in less than 30 days. I mailed a work permit renewal 1 month ago and no response. I don't have money for a lawyer. I don't want to lose my job. The situation seems so bizarre. What should I do?

Call customer service and ask for a tier 2 officer. They will tell you if the missing documents are already at your local office. 

Sometimes documents are missing at the time of the interview and they take some time to be retrieved.

 

Do you have the NOA for the EAD renewal? That serves as an extension for 180 days. 

[Nisrine chabani c 0]

No, there is no NOA. I have not heard back from them since the interview. I mailed a work permit renewal and no response for that either. It is almost as if they are purposely ignoring my case for no reason. But I will call tomorrow and ask for a tier 2 officer.

Have you checked the status of your case on the USCIS website?

[Nisrine chabani c 0]

They never updated the case on the website. It's as if I never even attended the interview. All I have is the letter he gave me in person, which I attached here in my first post.

[Allaboutwaiting 2,503]

Not having an update on the decision after the interview is not that odd given that there were documents missing. 

 

NOA's now take 4 to 6 weeks average to arrive. Hopefully the one for your EAD is on its way. Do you have informed delivery?

No I don't have informed delivery. I sent the work renewal to the Hartford, Texas, and California service center to make sure it was received.

[Nisrine chabani c 0]

I will call customer service tomorrow and request a tier 2 officer but if anyone has other information please share it. Thank you.

You don't need to send the form to two different service centers, and unfortunately both were the wrong one.

If you are adjusting status from a K1, the right address was the Chicago lockbox.

Unfortunately, that's why you haven't received any response regarding your EAD renewal.  Those are not the filing locations for I-765.  I suggest you send the renewal application to the correct address this time, after reading the instructions here -- https://www.uscis.gov/i-765-addresses

Thank you for helping. But the truth is, I am more concerned about my green card. The interview was 3 months ago and no one is responding or providing updates. Is there something that can be done?

Your number one priority should be filing the EAD renewal correctly so you can get the NOA for that to ensure you can stay employed.

 

Re: the green card, I think the above advice is best - call USCIS and ask to speak to a tier 2.  It could be that there's a delay finding the missing documents.  If USCIS needs anything else from you, they will let you know, otherwise there's not much you can do.  Have you moved recently, and if so have you updated your address?

Same thing happened to my friend in the san Francisco USCIS office. He interviewed with his wife on a AOS from a K1 and still hasn't received the green card, and he interviewed February 2020. He has tried everything from Congressman to sending a letter to the president. Still no green card, and it's been 14 months. He renewed her EAD AP once, and is getting ready to do it again. So, could be over a year before you see the green card. My wife and I did our AOS interview a week after his, and had her green card 7 days after the interview. I got the text message that green card was being produced on the way home from the interview. It's a luck of the draw I think. But she has had no problem renewing the EAD AP, and will keep renewing it every year if needed he said. He keeps trying and trying to get someone to do something, but no luck. Hopefully you don't get stuck in that position. He is just worried they won't backdate it to the interview date when they issue it, because the clock doesn't start on citizenship until you become a LPR, and have green card in hand. He doesn't know when or if he will have to ROC, because she still doesn't have her green card. It's a nightmare according to him.
