if you do not get in 60 days then contact your congress person. I had same issue once and my congress person was able to get me the receipts. 

Thanks

Ask your congress to inquire on your behalf.Usually USCIS answers the congressperson within 72 hours.

Hi Sandra ma’am!

 

USCIS said that the mail is missing per tracking so to file another application for a replacement card. I’m looking into filing another application as I need the EAD and will try to expedite with the congressman. However, I have question ma’am:

- Will USCIS close my current EAD case, the one which is missing? I ask because USPS said that there is a chance I might get the missing mail in 1-2 months?

Congress cannot expedite your application. You will need to file I-90 and say it was lost in the mail per post office. You will have to get fingerprinted again.

Congress person can help to expedite. I just helped someone expedite AP application through congress person 2 weeks ago and it got approved in a week.

Nope they can inquire about the case and USCIS will make a decision to move forward with petition or tell you it’s on hold. They cannot tell USCIS to expedite a case.

Not gonna argue. But personally they have done it for me and like i said i helped someone to expedite through congressperson 2 weeks ago. Congressperson requested additional documents because asked for it like doctor's letter and note.

He has the custody now, but I don’t pay him child support. Just when I had the custody he doesn’t pay child support.

Just because the child is living with him does not mean he has legal custody. That is set in court by a judge and you agree to either sole or joint custody and child support payments. 
 

Without proof of custody and child support payments, N-400 will be denied based on lack of moral character.

Hello,

I am new here and hope I’ve come to the right forum. I got married two and a half years ago while on a visitor visa. We submitted the necessary applications, and I have since received my EAD, Social Security number, ID, and Advance Parole. We live together, and my spouse is the petitioner (she is older than I am). Everything was going well; we share the same culture, religion, and language. She advised me to sell my condo, car, and other possessions back home to start our life together here.

Suddenly, around Valentine's Day this year, her behavior changed drastically. She began to express hatred towards me, demanding I find a job after having previously told me not to work for almost a year. I had bought her a custom gold necklace for Valentine's Day, which she did not appreciate. Since then, she has called me derogatory names, sent me texts wishing I would die in my sleep, threatened to lock me out of the house, and even said she would harm me if I tried to enter.

Despite my efforts to make the relationship work, the situation escalated. Her siblings witnessed her verbally and physically abuse me, including threatening me with a knife. My priority was to calm her down and find a safe place to stay. Thankfully, her siblings offered me temporary shelter and advised against calling the police, assuring me she wouldn't act on her threats.

I am now experiencing trauma and PTSD, similar to what I witnessed in my parents' relationship. I have scheduled an appointment with a doctor for support. Our interview is approaching, but I don’t feel comfortable lying about our situation. Although our marriage was bona fide and I have ample evidence to prove it (bank statements, credit card records, insurance, utilities, photos, etc.), I am scared to be around her.

I am planning to hire an attorney this week and need to find a therapist who speaks my language. Do you think I have a case? Additionally, can I keep my EAD card since it has not expired? Without it, I won't be able to afford my own place due to the high cost of rent.

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

You still can use your work permit, if she doesn't withdraw forms I-485/I-864.

What's the arrangement you have right now? Do you alternate like a week with you, week with him? Or otherwise keep it close to 50/50 like lets say switch every 6ish months? In case like this I believe you'd answer no to Part 9, 17.g., and tick the box for "no" in Part 6 next to the child.

 

If they did RFE you then instead you can send them an amended N-400 correcting that and give them some proof that you are otherwise financially supporting the child while it's your time, and something to prove you came to this agreement, signed affidavit from the other parent is best or some signed coparenting plan but if he won't sign it then well, you have to give them secondary stuff like emails or texts (maybe affidavits from third parties, hell, affidavit from the kid) and hope for the best. Court order giving you 50/50 and no child support from either party would also work.

 

I'd definitely understand the confusion because on N-400 it asks "Are you providing support for this child" but that question is apparently asking solely about what a normal person would call child support.
