Advance parole lost
Hello , my advance parole was approved but it didn’t get delivered . I submitted service request but it’s been 1.5 months since I submitted it as well but no reply so far . tried contacting USCIS all they say is to wait . told my lawyer they said either to wait or file new one as well . so I wanted to know if anyone had gone through a similar situation and what did you guys do . I am totally lost thinking what should I do
RFIE updated on case status but not received yet
I received an RFIE on my i485 application on Dec 17,2024 but I haven’t received the document yet. I am concerned about the deadline. I have called USCIS several times and they say there’s a service request to send it to me but no idea when that will happen.
any suggestions on what else I can do?
my online account doesn’t have a documents tab either.
I’m anxious and don’t want to miss the deadline.

I’ve been reflecting on something lately and wanted to share my thoughts. I’m starting to consider applying for Premium Processing (PP), but I keep asking myself—why? • I’m not current, and realistically, I probably won’t be anytime soon (2026-2027).
Still, I’m beginning to think it might be a good idea to have my case processed sooner, especially BEFORE any changes or new regulations are introduced by the incoming administration.
I understand that systemic changes take time, but let’s not forget that these agencies often operate in their own world. Historically, they’ve made decisions based on discretion and the priorities of their officers, so there’s always some unpredictability involved.
On the flip side, some lawyer friends have advised against this approach, pointing out potential downsides. For instance, they suggest it could lead to a
• Request for Evidence (RFE), possibly as a way to buy more time since the system is overwhelmed.
• Worse yet, an RFE could escalate the case to higher-level officers, who are known for stricter reviews and higher denial rates.
Despite these concerns, I find myself leaning more and more toward applying for PP. I’ve even started saving up to make it possible. It might not be a perfect plan, but it feels like the right step for me right now.

June 2024 filing and still no biometrics request
I’ve had no previous filings where USCIS would have had my biometrics already so I’m wondering why it’s taking so long for my biometrics request. I received Prima Facie fairly quickly and we are at the average processing time for EAD’s at Vermont, although my EAD is filed C9, I’m still worried about the new administration. my lawyer submitted an inquiry in Dec. and they’ve generically acknowledged his request but still no movement.

Hello, I’m very curious about my case because it has been a long time, and I haven’t received any notification from immigration. After the deadline passed for when I could call to ask, they told me I would receive a response from immigration regarding my case within the next 30 days. If not, they said I should call them again. This is the second time I’ve called after the website said I could inquire about my case. (I live in Rhode Island). I’ve seen that in Massachusetts, they send the work permit within 2 to 3 months, but I feel like mine is taking too long. Or is it always like this in Rhode Island? I just want to know if anyone has experienced something similar. I’m very curious and stressed because everything seems normal, but they don’t say anything either. 😩😩😩😭 The I-130/ i-487/ i-765 status remains the same.
Hola, tengo mucha curiosidad sobre mi caso porque ha pasado mucho tiempo y no he recibido ninguna notificación de migración. Después de que se cumplió el plazo en el que podía llamar para preguntar, me dijeron que recibiría respuesta de migración sobre mi caso en los próximos 30 días, y que, de no ser así, volviera a llamarlos nuevamente. Esta es la segunda vez que los llamo después de que la página indicó que podía preguntar sobre mi caso. (Vivo en Rhode Island). He visto que en Massachusetts en 2 o 3 meses envían el permiso de trabajo; en cambio, creo que el mío se ha tardado mucho. ¿O es siempre así en Rhode Island? Solo quiero saber si a alguien más le ha pasado lo mismo. Tengo mucha curiosidad y estrés porque nada parece estar fuera de lo normal, pero tampoco dicen nada. 😩😩😩😭 El formulario I-130 sigue igual.
