I did. But the i485 & i130 got denied. It was reopened after my first lawyer filed an appeal. My second lawyer that filed my i360 submitted that i485 receipt with my i360. I applied for EAD renewal twice and got denied, I never got the denial notice, my lawyer might have gotten it but he didn’t share with me. Apparently the initial i485 could not be used as it was denied and even though it was reopened after the appeal. I only just found that out in Dec 2022 when I used a new lawyer to file i765 again. So I had to file a new i485 & i765 in Dec 2022. I’m still waiting. I’m just sad that this could have been avoided if my lawyer has cared enough to look at the denial notice and informed me about filing a new i485. I’ve been unable to work since 2020, I’m depressed and I can’t even talk to anyone because not a lot of people understand this process. I have health issues now, I was diagnosed last year 2022 and I can’t even afford to pay for treatments, I’ve been having to pay out of pocket. I’m so tired. I’m so sorry if it feels like I’m ranting, I just needed to let this out. 

Sorry about that.

You can try to expedite your EAD through your congress person.

You have a “tough case” as they say…as they have not given you the prima facie determination since 2020..

 
Try expediting the I-765 itself. ..get a job offer letter and since you’ve exhausted resources..say you risk losing stable/ or any housing ( if applicable, of course).

Some lawyers are extremely 😞😞😞

Thanks for letting it out.

It's sometimes needful.

For the new forms ( I-765, I-485) , you are still in the normal processing time.

As I always say: keep trusting in God, through Jesus-Christ his son and He will see you through.                           For JESUS-CHRIST NEVER Fails 

 

Thank you 🙏🏾

Can you tell what was both RFE for?

First one in 2020 was for good moral character. Second was in April 2022 - evidence of marriage. Responded within 2 weeks for both.

I’ve gotten prima facies. I got the last one Dec 2022. But that does nothing for me. I don’t even qualify for Medicaid. I just want EAD so I can work. I just want to work and earn money. I’ve tried expediting with letters from work. Submitted expedite request in March 2023 so I’m just waiting. I even included the letter from my doctor with my medical bills. I’m truly exhausted.

Forgive me but if you got prima facie then you were eligible for 765 ( c 14) if I recall correctly.. was that application ever filed as such? 
I realize your most recent attorney said you had to file new I-485 and will assume they filed I-765 ( c 9) so very recent..

FOIA your complete file ( free and online)

Either way, keep trying.

I’m crying so bad. God is good. I just got this today. I’m in shock. Thank you guys so much for your encouraging words, I really really needed them, i was in a very bad place mentally. I know this isn’t even the EAD but this is the first good news I’ve gotten in so long.

God finally answered me. I’m praying that this is the start of good news in my journey and for everyone of us.
