just heard on one of the international news paper. But not sure how credible that news is. Hence i asked here to confirm if there is such thing. 

 

I looked and saw nothing. Even if, all of his previous bans did exempt already existing permanent residents.

Hello all just wanted to share the journey so other people do not make mistakes for a simple EAD card which is already taking a long time to get it approved.

 

1. EAD filled category C10 (for vawa self petition) the time is 18 months for approval

2. File Date May 23 2023

3. Gave my attorneys admin to update the address November 23 2023

4. EAD approved notice and card sent on Oct 11 2024.

5. Found out they uscis mailed it at my old address (since the admin did not update the address and did not notify me that they werent able to update the address)

6. Filed AR-11 to update the address on Jan 2025

7. No way to find out the status so reached out to the Rep office Feb 11 2025 and got a response that i have to call USCIS to update the address.

8. Called USCIS Feb 20 2025 to update the address.

9. Opened service ticket with USCIS Feb 27 2025 to issue new card and resend approval notice.

10. Got response from USCIS on 3/13/25 they cannot service  the ticket and I should call USCIS and open a ticket.

11. Called USCIS and the service agent said to apply again for replacement and it will take again the same amount of time to get it processed (that is 18 months).

 

 

So fellas make sure that do not rely only on attorney's it is our job to confirm everything. This process is exhausting but do not give up.

@Sandra G. @Demise and others.

 

How safe is to travel internationally with the green card lately. I heard president has signed an executive order for certain countries to enter in the USA to make the process really hard. 

If you don't have any criminal conviction, you are good.

It is Sunday -- time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

===========================================
SAY WHAT?

 

When I asked you to spell "orange" and you asked me, "the fruit or the color," it kind of caught me off guard.

 

I wish that my siblings would stop calling me "spoiled" just because I'm the youngest in the family.  The truth is, my parents just kept having children until they found the one they liked.  It's really not my fault!

 

I just posted a selfie, and people told me to get well soon.

 

My friend said, "Don't worry about spelling.  In the future, there will always be autocorrect."  For that, I'm eternally grapefruit.

 

Dear paranoid people who check behind their shower curtains for murderers:  If you do find one, what's your plan?

 

If only vegetables smelled as good as bacon.

 

Men say that women should come with instructions.  What's the point of that?  Have you ever met a man who actually reads the instructions?

 

"I just posted a selfie, and people told me to get well soon". It was the best one yet, hahahaha
