US Immigration from Australia

Hey guys,

So my EAD/AP card combo is expiring in Dec, and I'm trying to search how to do it. From a website it says that I can only file within 180 of it expiring, and that it only grants a 180 day extension.

I'm currently on AOS and my field office is expected to take a very long time to schedule an interview to get a GC, so I want to know whether the 180 day extension is true because it doesn't seem very long at all.

I'm also confused as to which specific forms I need to get both an extension EAD and AP? Is it two separate forms that I just send in as one?

And from my understandings, since I filed for AOS, I do not need to pay as long as I submit the AOS notice and copy of current EAD and AP is that correct?

Lastly, do they just send in a new card with both combo'ed on like my current card?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hello all,

I am wondering if others are in same situation as myself.

I have the re-entry permit (to keep the green-card). I am in Australia, we are unable to leave international boarders, due to Covid. It's unsure when these boarders will be opened. Will the deadline expiry date of re-entry permit, be strictly adhered to, if I can't return back to the US in time?

I fear that I may lose the GC. Cheers

Hi all - my mom's application was approved in March (bad timing with Covid). The Serbian embassy has been closed since then and we haven't received an interview request (but that's not that surprising).

My mom is about to come here (USA) for a few months. What if they schedule the interview during that time? Do I postpone or is there any way of transferring the remainder of the process to happen in USA?

My fiance is actually capable of still working in Australia via zoom (more of a side hustle than fulltime job), but I'm worried that might upset the US gov and hurt us later on in this process. Everything I've read online is that she can't work in the US, but I can't find any information whether or not she can still earn Australian income while in the US before the work permit comes through. Anyone know? If she can't earn income by working, is passive income from renting out her former home ok? Surely they can't tell her she's not allowed to have gains from an investment property...?

Hi everyone!

I am going to be applying for my CR1 visa soon and i am in the mists of collecting all of the evidence for our relationship.

I was wondering if - I the beneficiary can be the one collecting all of the photo evidence of messages for the petitioner. We live together in Australia and i'm just providing a brief timeline of conversations for our engagement and planning trips together etc over facebook, instagram and imessage. I just wanted to make sure that when i submit the screen shots or messages it's got all of the petitioners name on it. Should we start mixing both mine and her names? I have screenshots of a few facebook / instagram posts from her account and different ones from mine, although mainly all the screenshots are from my end (the beneficiary). Sorry if this sounds silly! Just want to make sure we are on the right path.

Thanks!
