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?

yes I have received my receipt because I previously had the 2 year EAD which expired and I paid my lawyer to file a renewal for $1000. My VAWA is still pending, (October 2022) and the receipt I submitted to my current jobs and I’m able to keep working, it’s valid for another 540 days, so that other paralegal doesn’t know what they’re talking about, as long as the receipt has the same category as the C09 EAD that’s expired then you’re fine. if the categories don’t match then you won’t be able to continue working with the receipt alone… hope this clarifies
