Hi all. My interview is very soon and the petitioner has changed job within the last few weeks and we want to know if it is worth updating the i864 as the new job is better pay. They asked us to take a joint sponsor to the interview and we have all those documents ready also. Is it worth changing the i864 and uploading new paystubs or will it be useless at this point?

Case denial- please help!

Hello everyone! I am trying to help a friend find answers and guidance on the below situation. Any thoughts or suggestions? Is there a way to appeal this as she was going through unforeseen circumstances?

I am in a difficult situation right now and I would really need someone's help . I will explain in short what's going on -:

I was admitted to Texas Center for Infectious Disease due to a life threatening case of tuberculosis and was quarantined and treated in the hospital for 2.5 years due to this. While in hospital, I graduated from University of Houston.

I intially came to the US on international student visa. In February 2021, I applied for my work permit. I sent my application to Immigration Office (USCIS). On May 20th 2021, they told me that my application was denied because I missed a deadline of application in December but I was in the hospital during this time still undergoing treatment. I was released from hospital after the deadline passed.

So I applied again in May 2021. This time I submitted documents to them, doctor's letter from the hospital, school advisor's letter and my cover letter explaining my situation that why I got delayed in application process - because I was sick and that hospital also had COVID restrictions. But on August 27th 2021 I found out that they denied my application again. The reason being same - I missed the deadline in December. It looks like from the denial notice that they did not consider or look at my supported documents.

Now I cannot apply again. I have to either enroll in a new degree program all over again and then apply for work permit all over again. Or I have 60 days to leave the country. Those 60 days started already from August 27th. Another study program will take 4-5 years and about $100000. All of this because I missed the deadline. But I was totally out of control of my situation which caused the delay. It was not my fault.

Before I got sick, I already had a job offer with an Oil and Gas company in Houston. But because I got sick and couldn't graduate in time, I had to let go of that job offer. Now without the work permit a company cannot hire me.

My only hope of getting the permit is if a Senator or Congressman can ask USCIS to approve my permit based on my documented genuine medical ground - if they can grant me grace.

Since I am in Texas, I think talking to Texas Senator and Congressman will help.

A couple of my church friends are trying to get in touch with their offices but haven't heard anything helpful yet.

This afternoon we heard back from Senator John Cornyn's office that since the decision is already made, and my application is not in processing, so they cannot make an inquiry on my case with USCIS.

But my decision is based not on fair grounds. Even when I was in hospital, I graduated with 3.9 gpa. I am capable of being an asset to a company in the US, if given a job.

But I don't know what to do. I have not dealt with or heard of Congressman/Senator here so I do not know how that works.

So if anyone can help me in this then please let me know.

I have all the documents to support.

Thank you.

U.K. CR1 Vaccination Requirements

Hi all. I have another question about vaccinations as I have seen a lot of contradicting information

My medical is scheduled for September 29th and I am unsure on the vaccines I may need. I have seen the CDC list which is fairly long but I have also seen another list where 19-59 year olds do not need certain vaccines?

also, as flu season starts October 1st does that mean I will not need that either?

Hi, I am a 10 year Green Card holder and applied for re-entry permit as we would be out the Country for 2 years due to my husband's job. My re-entry permit is good until October 2022. But we already know that it is unlikely we will be able to go back at that point. It may be another 6 months.

I think - from what I have read - it is not possible to extend a re-entry beyond 2 years.

I have ties to the US and we fully intend on going back (we have bank account, tax returns, savings, storage unit full of our belongings, family etc) Would anyone have any advice as to whether I go ahead and try and get an SB-1 visa at this point (with another 1 year on my re-entry permit) or do I wait?

I am due to visit America in November.
Thank you in advance for any help.
