Case Processing
Concurrent filing
Can one file a new marriage based Green Card while a I-290B (motion to appeal) is being processed for a denied i360?
Idea is to keep my current EAD as active as possible till the new one (with new marriage based Gc) is approved, and then I can maybe withdraw old I485 and I290B ?
for reference, I am beyond the 2 year threshold
to re-apply for VAWA
NIW approved. Switching law firms for next stage
Hi everyone,
My NIW finally got approved. My PD suddenly became current and I just paid for PP. After 11 days, my NIW got approved with no further RFE.
My law firm didn't do a great job, though. I got a RFE on all three prongs that could have been avoided if they had provided the existing evidence when they filed my case in 2023. They didn't do a thorough job. For the RFE, I basically did everything myself. No paralegal help at all.
Now, I seek to hire a competent law firm to support my green card application. I am probably doing consular processing since I am currently in the US on a G visa. I don't think I can't do a change of status inside the US while on this visa.
Would you recommend any law firms? How much should I expect to pay for this process? How long would it take to obtain a green card?
Thanks in advance.
EAD/AP Notice
My case is crazy right now. I supposedly file my EAD/AP in Nov 2024 with my lawyer,
only for the notice to come in June 1st and it stated that “ I’m eligible for extension 540 days if the received date is before the EAD expiry date. the card expired 03/03 and they received it 03/17
not sure if my job can use it.
can I still use it ?😩
NO RESPONSE
hi everyone, I had an interview for emergency travel permit, September, 2024, on the same day our i130 was approved and i485 changed to actively reviewing. I am waiting i485 since September 2024. I requested couple more times service request and contacted to congress person couple times but not responding 🥹🥹.
does someone hear like that experience? thank you
Question for Approval
Hi. My post-OPT (F-1 visa) case was received on April 2, 2025, and I received the receipt notice.
However, there hasn’t been any update for 65 days.
Does anyone else have a similar case or receipt number?
I'm really worried. My OPT start date is June 20, but I’m not sure if I’ll get approved before then.
Based on a request by a qualified F-1 academic student
