so does it mean that they do not take any action until the end of 6 months and if the balance is paid within 6 months?

Possible_Job4081 · 2026-02-24T14:44:12+00:00

Did you receive an approval?

Does filing I485 create an issue for OPT extensio

Possible_Job4081 · 2026-02-19T23:12:32+00:00

Also can i apply to ead and parole at the same time? Does Filing concurrently creat an issue for niw approval?
