SIJS Deferred Action and EAD Limbo (PD October 2025)
Hey guys, my attorney said that people who filed/who's PD is before May 10 2026 will receive deferred action soon (might take months)
So my question is, did other attorneys (you all) say the same thing about this? Have any of you whos PD is after June 2025 receive Deferred Action letter?
I'm really stressful think whether I'd receive DA and EAD or not.

after interview
I went in for an interview yesterday; it lasted approximately 35 to 40 minutes. The officer didn't explicitly state that I was approved, nor did they say anything else. However, after we left, my lawyer told me, "You've been approved; there are no issues." I haven't received any approval notice or similar communication today. At the end of the interview, I was given this document. If you have a same experience, please let me know (white paper)
Exhausted 2022
I’m gonna be real, with everything currently going on in this political climate, i get more & more exhausted each day. i have a strong sense that we will all be sitting here waiting for much much longer than the uscis website is indicating. not sure if it’s just me, but i’ve been losing sleep racking my brain thinking of how life would look outside the US if this all goes down…all this time, money, mental strain that comes with this process is getting to me
Second RFE request SIJS base
Hi all
I sent my medicals RFE in July 2024 and after that they placed me in case remains pending
Now I was notified that a RFE was sent to me, I have no clue what that could possibly be, I emailed my lawyer but I was wondered if anyone has seen something like this before
neither my friends that already got their GC had this happened to them
I understand this is better than denial or NOID but I am still anxious about it
thank you!!
