Pending asylum AOS
I am pending asylum, came with F1, then dropped F1 status after I got EAD, interviewed in 12/2017, no decision yet, I am in a process of I-140 application for EB-2 and I am planning to file I-485 AOS as well. Any luck of getting AOS in my case based on your experience guys??

I-824 Query
I received I-130 approval for my wife, however I have to now fill out I-824 in order to request that USCIS send the petition to the U.S. Department of State National Visa Center (NVC). Since, I did not indicate on the petition whether the beneficiary intends to apply for an immigrant visa abroad
at a U.S. Embassy or a U.S. Consulate or will apply for adjustment of status in the United States while filling I-130. I need assistance with what reason should I be selecting when submitting I-824?
Is there anyway to reinstate green card if abandoned at no fault of mine?
If someone have faced this before, the green card was taken away after not showing in the US for more than a few years, however the age was 4 years old which means it wasn't "voluntary abandonment of status". Does anybody know anyone who faced this and is there anything to do to somehow reinstate the Green card? Thank you.

Can I apply for OPT while pending I-765 based on I-485?
Hi, I applied for a work permit through a marriage-based green card on November 28th, 2022, and I just now realized that it might take 15 months to get approved (compared to the 4-6 months I initially thought).
I am graduating in May and am interviewing for jobs right now. I am terrified of staying off I-20 status, and not being able to work (+ not being able to drive). Can I apply for an OPT (4-week estimated wait time) while I have a pending I-765 based on marriage?
I read somewhere that it could give confusing/opposing intent as one is an immigrant while the other is a non-immigrant, but I also read that the worst case would be the denial of OPT but no effect on the green card process whatsoever. Some have even said they have done so successfully. Your thoughts???
Thank you!!!! I am so stressed right now...

how to pay the fees
I am filing a motion to reopen an asylum case with the judge after a deportation order, where do I pay the fees, it says to pay the fees to Department of Homeland Security and to send the receipt with the motion to the court but I don't know where to pay that fee to DHS and get the receipt. I'm in NY
NVC Payment error
The fees I have to pay in the ceac website just wont work. At first the aos payment got the status paid and i started working on my documents. However after paying the second fee I received an error mail that the payments have been rejected and now it switched back to pay now. What should I do? Anyone else having this peoblem right now. #Error #payment
Can I open police certificate from abroad?
Hi my case is at NVC, I have police clearance certificate required from a country I have previously been for more than 1 year on documents to submit. I have the documents but it's specifically sealed, do I need to open it and upload or take it to my interview at the US embassy?
motion to reopen
Quick question, anyone filed a motion to reopen a case with immigration court without a lawyer?
I do have a lawyer but she charged me $9000 to file for a prosecutorial discretion with DHS, it's been a year now and no response from DHS attorney. now she's telling me best thing to do is to file directly with the judge for an other $5000. I'm not willing to do that so can I do it on my own?

Visitor visa chances while waiting on i824
Hello everyone, please my husband was thinking about making me apply for a B1/B2 visitor visa.
We already have an approved i130 waiting on i824. If I apply and he accompanys me to the interview in Nigeria, will that increase the chances of getting the visitor visa?
