which was closed because of its large size.

-------

The Part 22 thread reached its size in rapid time, thanks in large part to reports of many approvals and happy reactions to them.  May those continue in this thread.

 

Absolutely remember ongoing issues from Part 22, and carry on with them here!

Faith, prayer, legal advice, and firm emotional & moral support have led to VAWA and I-485 approvals.

If correlation = causation, our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Jokes have done the same. :) 

In that spirit, here is our Official VAWA-Thread Joke for this week:

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

THE DUCK RULE

 

Three guys died together in an accident and went to Heaven.  When they got there, St. Peter said, "We have only one rule here in Heaven -- don't step on the ducks!"

 

The guys entered Heaven, and, sure enough, there were ducks all over the place.  It was almost impossible not to step on any, and although they tried their best to avoid them, the first guy accidentally stepped on one.

 

Along came St. Peter with the ugliest woman that the guy had ever seen.  St. Peter chained them together and said, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly woman!"

 

The next day, the second guy accidentally stepped on a duck.  Along came St. Peter, and with him was another extremely ugly woman.  He chained them together with the same admonishment as for the first guy.

 

The third guy observed all this.  Not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly woman, he was very, VERY careful where he stepped.

 

He managed to go months without stepping on a duck.  One day, St. Peter came up to him with the most gorgeous woman he had ever laid eyes on -- a tall, tan, curvaceous, traffic-stopping blonde.  St. Peter chained them together without saying a word.

 

The guy said to the blonde, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"

 

She said, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"

:P

I finally got my 1-765 (C09) card in the mail. I never receive the receipt. I was surprised to see the card and the approval letter in the mail box

Timeline - 02/16/2021 - date receipt    
                   06/ 15/ 2021 - card mail.

4 months exactly. Also, I got 2 years 

 

I want to ask, how do I get the SSN . Are they going to send it to mail or I need to apply for it.

 Please I need people to help on this information . Thanks 

Good to see that they have indeed switched to 2 year EAD. 

 

If you selected that an SSN be automatically sent to you in the form you filled, you will get it in a few weeks. I did in my case but then I still never got it so I had to apply for it locally.

 

Thanks for you reply. I will wait for a week and if I didn’t get it then I can apply locally

I just read many pages from the above link. I have nothing to offer in advice or knowledge and just wanted to say that all of you are very inspirational people and your experiences & tales are very touching. I look forward to seeing many approvals! 
 

I’m sure the process may feel like an uphill struggle but imagine the view when you get to the top. All the best

@Demise

This is your respose to one of the questions in previous thread.

"You can file for divorce at any point. Only possible downside to getting divorced is the 2 year time limit after death/divorce for filing I-360. So if you get divorced, 2 years pass, and your I-360 is denied you are no longer able to refile and can only fight the denial on the first I-360 by either a Motion to Reopen or an Appeal to the AAO".

 

My question is when does the date of divorce limit starts?

When you filled the divorce or when is actually finalized. Lets say i filled divorced on 02/25/2020 but it finalized on 12/18/2020.  When would my 2 years limit starts?

When it's finalized. So you have up to 12/17/2022 to file or refile an I-360.

Is USCIS  working today due to some new holiday Juneteenth ?

Juneteenth was observed last Friday. Today is a normal working day for the federal government.
