This is sorta related to my last post, but now I am questing everything I was doing.

Cuban citizen originally came to the US legally under Biden's Cuban Humanitarian Parole Program. She applied for I-765 EAD with code "Parole c(11)" in May of 2023 and received her EAD card 30 days later. The expiration of her EAD lines up with the expiration of her 2-year humanitarian parole window. She applied for i-485 permanent residency 1 year + 1 day after her arrival in the US via Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966. It should be noted that I personally did 5 of these applications, and 2 of the 5 received their green cards 3 months later where the other 3 are just "pending" but will certainly be approved. Since USCIS is such a mess, and there is no real timeline for when they will do their job, I feel she needs to file for some sort of extension of her work authorization.

Questions :

1. What should her i-765 filing category be?

2. What is the filing fee?

Hello,

I am a Canadian citizen with over 10 years of experience in the HVAC industry and i have 10 years hvac company in canada. I am the owner of an HVAC company based in Canada. I am interested in applying for an EB-2 visa to obtain a green card.

Could you please provide guidance on whether an EB-2 visa is suitable for my situation? If not, are there any alternative visa options that you recommend?

Thank you for your assistance.

We have submitted the I-864 forms, what happens next? Do we wait to hear from the NVC?

Hi, we have heard from the NVC that they received our application, and it's on its way to the Embassy in Vietnam. However, I am worried about how my fiance can fill out Form I-134 because he's retired (he wanted to start his own business and retired young), and has not filed taxes in the past 3 years. Google told us that assets are usually not accepted as proof of income? He has two paid-off houses but only started renting one out a few months ago for 3k/month. His business made some small profit last year but he has yet to file his 2024 taxes. Together, his retirement and investment accounts are well over 15x the poverty guideline. We are both marrying for the first time, no kids. Are these account statements enough as proof of resources or can we include the real estate assets somehow (no mention of them in the form instruction)? We don't have any potential joint sponsor, both his parents are retired too.

My kids received their N-600s after more than two years of waiting in April last year.

Their USCIS accounts still show "interview scheduled". It didn't bother me initially but the reason why we filed their N-600 was to make sure, USCIS tracks the kids as citizens and not LPRs. Is there a second, internal database which is showing they received their certificate and the one we have access to is not that important or would I need to schedule an info pass appointment to show they already have it in hand?

I just like to have everything in order in case I am not around one day to help out with all the documents, (paper) trails etc. At the same time, I am still recovering from USCIS and the thought of contacting them is something else...
