US Immigration from Hong Kong

I am a F1 student. I was doing my opt after i graduate on December 2018. My ead card expired on January 01 2020. I got married on September 2019 with my husband which he is a citizen of the US. We sent I-130, I-1485, I-765, I-131 all the forms to USCIS. USCIS sent us mails to notice us they received our forms on December. already finished the finger print on January 2020 and USCIS updated about that on my account too.

My manager told me my ead card expired so I called USCUS to explain the situation if there is a way I can still legally working. They told me I am on c9: adjustments of status , which I can extend my card 180 days. They told me tell my manager about that and then it should be fine.

However, my manager asked me to see if USCIS can give me a official letter to prove it. So, I called them again and they said they will not give me anything to show that. Everything I need is on the website.I asked if I can have a chance to expedited my ead card then I can still keep my position. They told me it s just two months now so it s not necessary to do that.

I want to keep my job because I love that job so much. What I can do now? Should I apply expedited the ead card still?

Thank you

So my boyfriend is working in Hawaii. And over the past 7 months of our relationship, I have visited him 4 times.

July 2019 - 3 days

August 2019 - 4 days

December 2019 - 1 week

January 2020 - 1 week

I am a teacher so I visit whenever I have holidays (summer, Christmas and Chinese New Year holidays).

I have a British passport so I enter on ESTA.

As I passed through immigration in January, the immigration officer told me that I am visiting too much and it could result in a ban of 5 years.

I understand the concerns of visiting too much however I have been honest that I come to visit my boyfriend and I have a steady job as a teacher therefore I will be returning to my country of residence. Plus the duration of my visits are not lengthy so I didn t not think frequent trips were much of a problem.

Could anyone shed some light on this potential ban if visiting too much? I never knew such thing existed

Hi all - my mom came to the US to visit me (PR) on ESTA (visa waiver program) from Hong Kong back in December. My mom planned to stay until early March, leave before the allowed time. However, the Coronavirus outbreak feared me to send my mom back home as Hong Kong has many confirmed cases and someone died of it already.

I want to know is there a way she can extend her stay for another month or two until the spread of Coronavirus going down? I think I saw it saw it somewhere on USCIS that visitor came in via ESTA aren't allowed for visa extension (since ESTA not really a visa).

Is there other way I can try to apply something for her, maybe based on humanitarian reason?

Thank you

Hi,

We are nearly completing our K1 application and about to send off. However one rather complicated and confusing thing is puzzling me.

I hold a British passport, born to Hong Kong parents (however they were British when I was born so I am not entitled to a HKSAR passport unless I naturalise).

I also have a HKID with 3*. The important part of this is the 3*. Because apparently this means I also have chinese citizenship.

Now I obtained my HKID before 1997 whilst HK was still with UK.

"The 3 stars on your HKID indicate that you are eligible for an HKSAR Re-entry permit. In this case, you are either a Chinese citizen or stateless.
If you hold permanent residency of HKSAR but not Chinese citizenship, your HKID does not have ***.

You are not eligible for an HKSAR Re-entry permit. The *** will be removed if you renounce your Chinese citizenship."

I've discussed this with my fiance and naturally, whenever I am asked for my nationality I state I am British.

However I feel that seeing as I have a HKID with 3*, I should also state this in our application to avoid an RFE.

Another note is that I am currently working in HK, where I don't need a work visa. I use my HKID which allows me to work visa-free.

I don't know if anyone else is in the same situation or could shed some light on this?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I've checked the USCIS online website, my AOS status got changed to "Interview was schedule" on last week. Does anyone know how long will it take to receive the notice mail from them? Thanks a lot.
