Unemployment filling with AOS pending

[lynn25 0]

Hi guys,

I'm new to this website my friend recommended this to me. I have some clarifications. I applied for I-485 Oct 2007 but until now it's still pending.

My EAD already expired so I stopped working. A friend said I can file for unemployment because I qualify. If I would file, would this be a conflict

of my I-485 application? I'm worried that filling for unemployment would cause more delay on my I-485.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just go and renew your EAD.

Just go and renew your EAD.

I was told to wait for my green card because it's possible that I will receive it before I will receive the renewal of my EAD.

If I would renew, it would take 90 days, the payment of almost $400 will just be wasted according to my friend. She did renew her EAD but

she got her green card before the new EAD.

Correct me if I am wrong but you just need to make an infopass appointment and go to get an extension stamp.

If your AOS is still pending, you need to have a stamp anyway which extends your status in the US.

Hi Lyuba,

I went online to make an infopass appointment but I didn't have any of the requirements they ask to make an appointment,

like court order, letter from USCIS or SR. So I called USCIS told the csr that it had been over a year since I last received a letter from them about

the status of my case. She made a SR for me. She told me if I wouldn't receive any letter from USCIS for 45 days after the SR was made, then

I can go online make an infopass appointment thru the SR# she gave. After few weeks, I received a letter from USCIS updating me

on the status of my I-485 due to the service requested, and that it's still pending in California. How will I get a stamp??? I don't think I can go to the

local office as they said my papers are still in California service center. I feel so fraustrated because it's been 16 months since I submitted my I-485.

Thanks.
