Job/Career
Despite passing interview since April 2022 Been waiting for Oath taking ceremony for almost 1 year and about to deploy, now it’s Feb 2023
I passed my Interview on April 2022 in Norfolk VA, and the oath taking ceremony couldn’t be done the same day because I was moving to my new duty station in GA , immigration officer says no problem we would switch the location to a USCIS office close to your duty station which is Charleston, South Carolina.
4 months later I got another notice for interview appointment even though I had passed it before, I called USCIS and told them they mistakenly booked another interview instead of oath taking, and they said it’s okay, it’s just an error just go there and it’ll be fine. I travelled 2 hours to that appointment, asked why they sent an interview notice, they said the Virginia office forget to send one of my documents in my file so they can’t proceed with the oath taking , they apologized and said they’d get back to me and book the oath taking ceremony asap and put a note saying it should be expedited.
5 months later I’m still waiting for my oath taking ceremony and I deploy to the Middle East in less than 45 days. I have called USCIS at least once every week and and sent my deployment orders with a memo from my commander putting a expedited processing request still no response. imagine fighting for USA yet not having a citizenship yet . what can be done if anyone has gone through something similar? #deployment #n400 #oathtakingceremony #military
TPS Haiti
Eske gen moun la ki te jwenn EAD nan fen mwa janvye?
Mwen te resevwa EAD mwen preske ekspire. Lèm rive nan SSA yo dim SSN lan pap ka fèt ak kat travay sa paske li manke mwens ke 14 jou.
Yo te dim lè yo update li poum retounen. Kòm yo bay ekstansyon pou 12 mwa, m te retounen. Fwa sa yo mandem yon papye Imigrasyon voye pou mwen ki sètifye kat mwen an ekstenn. M bay Federal Register Notice la, yo pa aksepte l.
Konnya m soumèt renouvelman TPS ak EAD a, men resi yo banm lan sèlman di ke m pa fè anprent ankò.
Si gen yon moun ki te nan menm sitiyasyon sa e ki rezoud li, edem souple.

Hello fam,
Any one ever had a job without having the EAD from USCIS?
I am so ready and capable of working like most of you and it kills me to spend my days not doing what I want to.
The debt I have accumulated while fighting my divorce are outrageous, so I am considering interviewing now in the hopes I get an offer.
Has that happen to any one? I just filed filed VAWA and also completed my Biometrics for TPS.
Both if possitive should come with an EAD.
Have an attorney for VAWA.
Thanks for any tips or recommendation
Nephew says he wants to immigrate into US as Biologist
I know that biologists and academics tend to get treated better her in the States moreso than in my home country, but I'm wondering about his possible prospects if he enters the country just as an exchange student first without a green card. Would it be possible to transition smoothly into an employment visa after his education is complete?
Quick question about American Labor Law
I've recently been promoted in my office into a full time employee, working 50 hours a week. They said that since I will be receiving a set salary from now on, there will be no overtime. However, the manager has been telling me to work sixty hours anyways. Is this legal?
Commuting to work on a bicycle for years
It certainly hasn't been easy, because the American city that I work in is decidedly not friendly to cyclists.
I don't think about work at all during the time I'm riding to the office on my bicycle. In fact, I don't think I think at all during that time! Once I arrive at the office and feel my heart rate drop from 90 to 65 bpm, I begin to work. I do work that requires all my focus for an hour fifteen, and then go for a walk to organize my thoughts for the next fifteen minutes until I return to rushing through my work again.
I do feel tired when I am going back home again, but your head does eventually feel clearer once you are racing towards home on a bicycle. Nowadays, going at 10km/hr doesn't even get me breathing all that hard.
