Good morning All!

 

Do you get notifications from USCIS after "New Card is being produced" message?

Like the I-485 EAD? 

 

Thanks!

Your information is not correct .First of all she should not apply for reentry permit but for AP. IF they stamp the AP in her passport she can travel , and she doesn’t need  to have the  combo to reenter.She  needs to prove that she filed  form l131.

 

VAWA petitioners CANNOT obtain any information or request over the phone .She can set up online an appointment with infopass 

Hi Sandra, If AP isn't filed at the same time as with EAD form, how does an AP look like?

I used to have EAD combo card that served as AP as well but is now expired, I got i-360 approval last week but I'm not sure if this card will include AP as well.

Thank you! I'm still paranoid, I can't wait to have my EAD in my hands... Do you know if this card is issued with AP?

If you talking about c31 then no..but if you applied for AP with i765 then you get your combo card...what's your situation?

This one is the one my attorney filed so it is most likely c31. He said he filed AP then but he was a mess so I'm not sure. Decided to fire him shortly after he filed my application because he wasn't good. We'll see.

 

Thank you so much!

Regulation promotes self-sufficiency and immigrant success Today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a final rule that clearly defines long-standing law to better ensure that aliens seeking to enter and remain in the United States — either temporarily or permanently — are self-sufficient and rely on their own capabilities and the resources of family members, sponsors, and private organizations rather than on public resources. This final rule amends DHS regulations by prescribing how DHS will determine whether an alien is inadmissible to the United States based on his or her likelihood of becoming a public charge at any time in the future, as set forth in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The final rule addresses U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) authority to permit an alien to submit a public charge bond in the context of adjustment of status applications. The rule also makes nonimmigrant aliens who have received certain public benefits above a specific threshold generally ineligible for extension of stay and change of status. “For over a century, the public charge ground of inadmissibility has been part of our nation’s immigration laws. President Trump has delivered on his promise to the American people to enforce long-standing immigration law by defining the public charge inadmissibility ground that has been on the books for years,” said USCIS Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli. “Throughout our history, self-sufficiency has been a core tenet of the American dream. Self-reliance, industriousness, and perseverance laid the foundation of our nation and have defined generations of hardworking immigrants seeking opportunity in the United States ever since. Through the enforcement of the public charge inadmissibility law, we will promote these long-standing ideals and immigrant success.” DHS has revised the definition of “public charge” to incorporate consideration of more kinds of public benefits received, which the Department believes will better ensure that applicants subject to the public charge inadmissibility ground are self-sufficient. The rule defines the term “public charge” to mean an individual who receives one or more designated public benefits for more than 12 months, in the aggregate, within any 36-month period (such that, for instance, receipt of two benefits in one month counts as two months). The rule further defines the term “public benefit” to include any cash benefits for income maintenance, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), most forms of Medicaid, and certain housing programs. The regulation also excludes from the public benefits definition: public benefits received by individuals who are serving in active duty or in the Ready Reserve component of the U.S. armed forces, and their spouses and children; public benefits received by certain international adoptees and children acquiring U.S. citizenship; Medicaid for aliens under 21 and pregnant women; Medicaid for school-based services (including services provided under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act); and Medicaid benefits for emergency medical services. This rule also makes certain nonimmigrant aliens in the United States who have received designated public benefits above the designated threshold ineligible for change of status and extension of stay if they received the benefits after obtaining the nonimmigrant status they seek to extend or from which they seek to change. Importantly, this regulation does not apply to humanitarian-based immigration programs for refugees, asylees, Special Immigrant Juveniles (SIJs), certain trafficking victims (T nonimmigrants), victims of qualifying criminal activity (U nonimmigrants), or victims of domestic violence (VAWA self-petitioners), among others.  This rule also explains how USCIS will exercise its discretionary authority, in limited circumstances, to offer an alien inadmissible only on the public charge ground the opportunity to post a public charge bond. The final rule sets the minimum bond amount at $8,100; the actual bond amount will be dependent on the individual’s circumstances. This final rule supersedes the 1999 Interim Field Guidance on Deportability and Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds and goes into effect at midnight Eastern, Oct. 15, 60 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register. USCIS will apply the public charge inadmissibility final rule only to applications and petitions postmarked (or, if applicable, submitted electronically) on or after the effective date. Applications and petitions already pending with USCIS on the effective date of the rule (postmarked and accepted by USCIS) will be adjudicated based on the 1999 Interim Guidance.    USCIS will provide information and additional details to the public as part of public outreach related to the implementation of this rule. In the coming weeks, USCIS will conduct engagement sessions for the public and other interested groups to ensure the public understands which benefits are included in the public charge inadmissibility rule and which are not.

Hello everybody!
I have two questions and I appreciate if someone can help me:
1. How long does it take USCIS to renew (Do not issue a new one) the EAD in Vermont?  on the official page USCIS informs that the creation of a new one takes Vermont between 5.5 and 7.5 months, but I want to know if USCIS takes the same time to renew that to issue a new EAD?
2. Will the new Public charging regulations affect Vawa applicants?
3. Is requesting a fee exemption for forms I-485 and I-765 considered public charge?
Thanks for helping...

Waivers are not considered public charge, vawa petitioners are exempt from the public charge regulations, and EAD renewal sometimes take as long as you stated above, but I've seen folks get theirs much earlier and others much later! Patience is our watch word!😊👍
