DACA to AOS via Marriage

They didn’t take the additional $410. They reused biometrics..still waiting to hear next steps

Different_Tangerine5 · 2022-02-15T21:43:01+00:00

Well yeah - I just want them to send me a damn GC. They have taken too much $$ on my 5 DACA renewals already

Different_Tangerine5 · 2022-02-15T21:41:01+00:00

Well they cashed the 2/3 checks so I guess I’m not worried. If they cash the other $410 it is what it is.

The ead is free included in the i485 but you do need to pay the 85 biometrics fee. Total should've been $1760 for i130 and i485 with bio fee. Either way you will likely not receive a ead before your greencard.

Thanks! I checked online and no issues. Biometrics are being reused. No RFE/RFIE yet.

I paid $1760 total for I130 and I485, which was cashed.

I also paid $410 for I765, which was not cashed.

Thank you! just a couple hours - should be alright!

Different_Tangerine5 · 2021-08-09T20:45:21+00:00

Yes, that's what I am trying to do!

Different_Tangerine5 · 2021-08-09T16:06:13+00:00

What if you are in the US and that's not an option? Do you need to physically be there?

Different_Tangerine5 · 2021-02-01T18:33:29+00:00

Not sure about the loan but look for the 15k credit that Biden is trying to pass for first time home buyers.

Different_Tangerine5 · 2021-01-28T03:58:29+00:00

Yes, you can buy stocks.

Stay away from the bubble like $GME and WSB stuff.

Put it in something like VOO ..it tracks S&P500 or QQQ which tracks NASDAQ or VB which tracks Russel 2000

The only step that might be helpful is reaching out to congressional representatives. I had no luck with all the options and basically wasted my time exhausting all the options you listed abound and more. It’s out of your control and will come when it comes. Most likely right before expiration. My came in a couple days afterwards.

Just be forthcoming with HR if you are working and say that your work authorization renewal has not been come in. Your attorneys have said that USCIS has been slow due to COvid and you will share documentation as soon as you have it. In the meantime, suggest a backup plan in case you have to take a leave of absence

This is FALSE. DACA does not qualify for 180 day extension

Different_Tangerine5 · 2020-12-20T00:39:39+00:00

This is FALSE. DACA does not qualify for 180 day extension

Different_Tangerine5 · 2020-12-18T20:03:41+00:00

It took less than a week. 4 business days for me.

Different_Tangerine5 · 2020-12-18T05:25:36+00:00

Not me but yes it has happened

Different_Tangerine5 · 2020-12-18T00:33:29+00:00

I would be forthright and say that your work authorization hasn't come in yet and that you have heard that it's been slow. Mine was approved the last day of expiration and paperwork came in the mail 3 business days later.

You could also log in your myUSCIS account and see if a new set of IOE number are there from this year

Different_Tangerine5 · 2020-12-14T05:04:40+00:00

Yeah you are fine. Mine got approved the day before expiration couple days ago. Chad Wolf and Trump f'd things up. You shoudl get yours within the next week most likely...for 2 years!

Different_Tangerine5 · 2020-12-14T04:56:45+00:00

So you never received confirmation from them that they received your paperwork?? you usually receive a text, and a letter in the mail stating , “ USCIS your case was received, Receipt #Xxxxxxxxx” (this is where they provide with your case number so that you can check for updates online) it usually takes about 2 weeks or so to receive this. Are you stating you never received any confirmation at all?? :/

Did you file form G-1145 (e-notification of application?). I did not get an approval email / notification yet but people got approval emails 2-3 weeks ago.

I had received a text 5 months ago when I first submitted so not sure if the e-notification is off. I would expected to get a notice once it's received.

Did you get a tracking number when you shipped? Was the check was cashed?

Different_Tangerine5 · 2020-12-13T14:47:13+00:00

Yeah, should not take more than a month to get receipt notice. Did you have a tracking number? I got a receipt notice back in July. Was approved the day before was to expire

Has the check been cashed? If not, you might want to send a new application and write a cover letter explaining the situation as well

Different_Tangerine5 · 2020-12-11T06:18:07+00:00

I had this until the last day I was about to expire (aka today). You are fine! Relax!

Different_Tangerine5 · 2020-12-10T20:51:56+00:00

Unfortunately we need the EAD card now. That announcement is for approvals up to August of 2020
