  1. Yes I suggested that maybe they should just pay the fee but I guess they just didnt have the resources after paying rent. But having snap benefits as a parolee is supposed to be an acceptable reason for USCIS.
  2. Application was rejected for non payment. Package was then resent with proof of snap benefits attached to I-912. Claiming financial distress or hardship with no evidence didnt work in this case.
  3. Thanks for the reply Yes it was delivered to dallas lock box. Would USCIS still be likely to send out a receipt notice if there were problems with the Fee Waiver evidence? Is someone merely claiming financial hardship and homelessness without including any evidence likely to pass muster for a fee waiver request? Can lock box support accept an attached copy of the Fee Waiver evidence?
  4. Its for a work authorization issued to humanitarian parolees, I believe they issue a I-766 work authorization "pink card" to the parolee supposedly after about 90 days. Hopefully they will still issue a receipt number, so any documents that may still be needed could be uploaded online.
  5. Apparently the payment for the work permit form I-765 was never sent, and instead included only an I-912 request that lacked proof of homelessness-with just a personal claim of hardship because of finances and homelessness. Its been over a month and no confirmation or rejection notice from USCIS. Shouldn't a receipt notice have been received by now, allowing us to upload documents? Can a new i-765 with a new I-912 just be resubmitted, this time with proper proof? (now have the necessary snap papers) How about if it was re-submitted online and with the payment? Would it be better to wait for a notice from USCIS before trying to resubmit? thanks
  6. So for Cubans at least, apparently it doesn't matter how you entered the country.
  7. Apparently there are tons of loopholes that allow a green card, One is the Cuban Adjustment Act which allows a Cuban national with US relatives to apply for a green card after one year of being allowed into the US
  8. Is there any way to adjust status later on after being granted humanitarian parole? Or do people on humanitarian parole have to return after 2 years?
  9. At the moment she only has the temporary I-551 visa which is placed in the passport at the embassy interview. She recently received an appointment for biometrics which they need to issue the conditional 2 year plastic green card, which is mailed after the biometric appointment is completed. Just curious as to how long it takes to receive the new green card in the mail after the biometrics appointment.
  10. My friend who entered US after receiving her F2A visa at the embassy recently went to her biometrics appointment for the 'permanent' conditional green card. How long does it usually take to receive the card in the mail after biometrics? It seems they are processing it still with her old address, Is there any way to update it to the new address before the green card arrives?
  11. Its been over 3 weeks, no ss card in mail yet. Social security card had been requested on application
  12. Does not paying the immigrant fee right away affect the time it takes to issue a social security number? Will the SSN still be sent in mail following arrival in US?
  13. OK I found in their records, it says the AOS fee and immigrant visa fee ($325) have been paid. Is this the immigrant fee?
  14. If the immigrant fee was paid right away at time of application, than it has been a while since it was paid and it may be difficult to track down on a credit card statement. Is there another way to check to see if it has been paid or not? Not sure if application is still at CEAC.
  15. Is an F2A family entry visa issued to a spouse at the embassy interview the same as a temporary green card? Is she authorized to work upon arrival in US? There seems to be some confusion as to whether the $220 immigrant fee was paid or not.
  16. Would that be the $280 fee? After receiving the i-551 passport stamp, do you have a full year to apply for the conditional green card?
  17. What is the process for receiving a 'conditional' green card after the immigrating spouse is issued an I-551 passport stamp?
  18. If someone goes to the SSA office and requests a SSN, it is always mailed out and takes about 2 weeks. They don't give you a physical card right then and there at the appointment, but are they able to tell you what your new SSN is at the office? There doesn't seem to be a consistent timeline for when a social security card arrives in the mail after entering US with a DS-260 checked for a SSN, Wouldn't it be worth it to just go to the SSA immediately after arriving and apply for a SSN even if the box on DS-260 was checked? At least you would know for sure that you will be able to work in 2 weeks.
  19. Despite all the dire warnings received, the visa interview was smooth, and F2 visa was issued without any problem. No extra affidavits were needed, no new I-130, only updated sponsor income information was requested. The embassy seemed to not care in the slightest that petitioner had recently naturalized.
  20. Thank you, I guess I was hoping an embassy might have some discretion to waive or reduce the I-130 fee when it involves an upgrade, some exceptional circumstances, or the location. Do you know if they will accept a US credit or debit card at the embassy? (Cuba)
  21. Does anyone know if a consular processed I-130 has the same fees as a normal 130? Will they want payment for a new I-130 up front at the consulate? Petitioner has become a citizen before embassy interview for spouse and child under 21, so petitioner will probably need to submit a new I-130 for child. Just wrote for information but haven't heard back from embassy yet.
  22. So the original family I-130 for the spouse and daughter will still be sufficient for the spouse, or does petitioner need to file a new I-130 for the spouse as well as the daughter? I think I misspoke, the spouse isn't the one who files the 130, petitioner does.
  23. Does anyone know if the beneficiary spouse will also have to file another I-130 like the daughter?
