Has anyone else had challenges with the register for selective service requirement? I applied for a green card a couple years ago and was not made aware that I needed to also register for selective service. Fast forward a couple years and I’m now applying to become a US citizen and I’m over 26 years old and can no longer register for selective service and need to submit a letter of explanation as to why.
Has anyone else had to do this?
What was the outcome?
Does applying for a green card automatically register you for selective service?
IR1 Ciudad Juarez
Hello Everbody, I filed for my husband I-130 March 2022 and it was approved April 2023. We became documentarily qualified on August 17th, 2023. It is currently January 29, 2024 and my case is still at NVC. I have tried to submit an inquiry to Ciudad Juarez, because that is my interview appointment, but they stated that I have to send my inquiry directly to NVC because it is still at NVC. Is anyone else going through the same process? I do not know what else I can do to expedite it is about to be 6 months and still no interview date. #ciudadjuarez #ir1 #i130 #appointment

My PD is Jan 2022.
It's been almost a year since I applied for I131.
I've received my work permit and am waiting for approval for I131 and 485.
How long does it usually take to get approved for I131?
I don't even expect approval for 485, but I'm confused why the status of I131 still shows 'fingerprints were taken.'
I want to visit my hometown before...

International Travel with combo card( EAD + TRAVEL PERMIT)
Hello all, Greetings!
I am traveling outside of country with my Eb3 unskilled EAD combo card for 45 days. I recently got my EAD card and haven't started workimg for my employer yet. I still have mainted my F1 visa (In OPT). I have following questions to ask:
1) Can I still maintain F1 visa after coming back to USA?
2) If not, how and when will my F1 status gets terminated?
3) If I no longer have F1 status, can I resume my professional work with my EB3 unskilled EAD card and start working for my eb3 unskilled employer second after few month (3 months later)?
I am looking forward to credible and genuine advice and information.
Thanks in advance!
