Topic: I-94 RFE

Hi everyone,

I have an rfe on i-485 asking for front and back of i-94. The problem is I only have the copy of the front since I lost my card a long time ago. What do you guys think I should do? Is this a problem?

Topic: I took infopass for 90 days-delay

Hey guys...

Out of nowhere at 7:00 pm today I got the magical CPO e-mail. I'm fairly certain this had absolutely nothing to do with the infopass appointment and I was getting set to do an expedite fax tomorrow, so that's unnecessary now. I wanna wish you guys the best with this thing and keep your heads up. It really is amazing how right when you feel down and out it comes out of nowhere.

I can't believe I'll finally be able to drive a car and work. 10 years after all my classmates did it I'm finally gonna do it as well :)

Unbelievable!!

Topic: Does interim EAD card really exist?

Well here's the report of my lovely infopass appointment. I went in there and told the lady I'm way over the 90 day limit. She called the service center and told me that they're backlogged. I asked her to put in a request for an interim EAD and the attitude started, telling me that they're backlogged and they don't accept those requests anymore. I pulled out the memo to show her and next thing I know the lady is yelling at me: "I KNOW HOW TO DO MY JOB... THEY DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE THAT PAPER IS OLD... I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING." So given that I was in the immigration building, I bit my tongue and escaped before any more damage was done.

It was quite the situation! Ugh!!

So I got home and called the service center just to see if I get anywhere with them, and I asked the lady for a fax number for NSC so I can do an expedite request, and she told me they don't give out fax numbers and they don't accept faxes anymore. She said the only way to expedite is to tell her if my case falls under one of several categories she listed, like extreme hardship or something like that, and I told her that it didn't because I knew she was BSing me. I'm gonna try to fax a letter and the job offer to see what happens.

Mray, what exactly did you fax them if you don't mind my asking?

Topic: Does interim EAD card really exist?

Well I'm going for an infopass this week, and I am in a very similar situation as you. My received date is June 4, so obviously it's over the 90 day limit, and I'm going to ask for an interim EAD. What I think you should have done, and what I'm going to do, is take with me the memo that says that field offices no longer issue interim EADs as of 2006, but can send a request on behalf of the applicant during an infopass to the service center asking the SC to issue the interim EAD. So basically, the law is that the field office can't do it anymore, but the service center can and the infopass session is supposed to put in the request for you. I'll post back after I go and see what happens.

Topic: I took infopass for 90 days-delay

Thanks for the update mray, and I'm shocked that now you need a reason for them to give you an interim EAD! I figured that would be your right since they didn't meet the 90 day deadline. Let's hope it works out!

Sandy I think the LUD is an indication that they received your documents but I can't say for sure if it's a sign that something will be changing soon. Keep your fingers crossed I guess!

I'll be going to the Los Angeles field office on Monday, and I'll report back what kind of luck I have. I desperately need the EAD to get my driver's license and to start working so hopefully they'll have a heart and won't stand in my way. Also, if any of you guys get any further updates, please inform the rest of us on this thread and let's try to make this one a valuable source of information for all those who've passed the 90 day mark!

mray if you can send it to me too that would be great.

My e-mail is ill_b_ballin@yahoo.com

Also, if you can report on this thread when you get back tomorrow about your experience that would be great so we can see what happens. Which service center are your papers at? And which field office are you going to for your infopass?

Topic: The 100+ Club

Hey guys...

I have a question about the expedite request that usually seems to work for most people. What kinds of documents do you submit to prove hardship? I'm unemployed and have credit card debt. I have very little money in my account and I have been out of status for years and am now adjusting. I don't have a driver's license and I need to the EAD to get that and to finally start working. Is this enough of a reason? Do I need to prove all of this, or just explaining it is enough?

Topic: I took infopass for 90 days-delay

Hey guys...

My received date is June 4th, so I'm on day 106, and there have been no LUDs on my case at all since FP. I called NSC several times and they wouldn't open a service request because my case is within the processing time frame. I hear it's possible to make a request for an interim EAD when you go to infopass, and they will direct that request to the service center, so I made an infopass appointment to do that this coming Tuesday. Have any of you tried the interim EAD approach?

Topic: Couldn't open a service request!!! What's going on at USCIS?

Canada,

What exactly did you fax them? Also, the woman on the phone told me they no longer offer interim EADs, so what exactly is the truth? I'm in California btw, but my application is at NSC.

It sounds from all the LUDs that you're getting that your application is nearing approval. At least in similar cases I've heard of that's what usually happens after several LUDs in succession. I hope that's the case with you!
