Case Processing
form I -797C
Good morning, community. I requested the renewal of my work permit, the 765, through my lawyer, for which I paid $500, since I had the two-year one. My VAWA case is still pending. I filed in May 2022 and received the receipt, the I-797C. When I asked the paralegal—since I only saw the lawyer once, back in 2022 when I hired him, and never again—he told me at first that this receipt allowed me to keep working for another 540 days. But when I asked again later, a different paralegal told me that no, the receipt doesn’t mean anything. Have any of you received this receipt to present while waiting for your work permit to be approved?
CR6 conditional card on Approval Notice — But Married Over 2 Years! Did Anyone Still Get 10-Year Card?
Hey everyone,
I had my I-485 and I-130 interview on the exact day of my 2-year wedding anniversary, and my case was approved the next day. when I was 2 years and 1 day married.
But the approval notice says CR6, which is for conditional green cards. I thought I’d be getting an IR6 (10-year green card) since we hit the 2-year mark on the interview date and got approved the day after not on the spot.
I haven’t received the physical card yet — just going by the approval notice.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Did you still receive a 10-year card even though the notice said CR6?
Or did you have to file an I-90 to fix it?
Any insight would help. Thanks in advance!
