combo card expires in 5 weeks. AOS has taken 2.8 years. What a Joke.

[elkski 28]

wife just informed me that her combo card expires near the end of March.  We went the K1 visa route and Applied for Adjustment of status in July  21'

We haven't heard anything for a long time on the AOS..  We have heard other AOS in Utah are over 2.5 years now. 
We have a barcode page from the original combo card that says to tear off this portion and send in to speed up your extension or replacement card. 

I have searched for combo card extensions and did not see any recent threads.  I've read they dont issue combo cards anymore.

I've read there is an automatic 180 extension and not the 540 days.  we are not planning any travel out of country this year but you never know.  She is employed in our 2 person sole proprietor company. 

Can anyone direct me  to the correct forms to send in?   I've seen some cover letters and list of forms  to send in but that was real old info

Thanks Randy and Mayuree  Married  for 2.8 years and doing ok.

It takes as long as it takes.  It is one of the main reasons the K-1 is not a great option anymore, and has not been since around 2018.

 

Looking at your post history, it appears you had some issues with providing properly completed forms and evidence.  So the delay may be in part due to that.

Thanks for the help??  kinda silly to talk about the Cr1.. I expected to get hit with "why didn't you apply for renewal 5 months ago?"  

Its a bit late to  talk about the benefits of  a CR1 vs K1. about 4 years late!!.. There really wasn't a choice for us as we didn't decide to get married until I returned in Jan 2020 as covid hit. So K1 made sense for us.. Yes I wished I had married her on my July 1019 trip.  

Luckily we are not in a rush, at least I hope. We hope to get her driving license before this combo expires.

The respondent's reply was intended for more eyes than yours.  

Good luck with the situation and getting her D.L. in time.

The forms for renewal are the same as the ones you used to apply originally, I-765 for employment authorization and I-131 for advance parole.

 

Once USCIS receives the applications, her EAD will be automatically extended for 180 days: https://www.uscis.gov/eadautoextend

@elkski you may want to consider filing WoM to get decision on AOS. Otherwise need to file I-765
