US Immigration from Colombia

Hi fellow VJ'ers, I'm in a bit of a pickle. My husband applied and was approved for an EAD/AP combo card based on a K1 visa (C)(9) filed in conjunction with the I-485 AOS. My husbands EAD/AP expired on February 11,2021. We have not filed for a renewal because we had no plans to travel or seek employment before his Adjustment of status I-485 was adjudicated.. We had the in person interview on February 26, 2021 and anticipated no problems. (first mistake). He applied for a job in December of 2020, but because of Covid-19 and other problems, we never heard anything from his potential employer until March 5, 2021 when they offered him the position starting on March 8, 2021, So now my husband with his expired EAD card was told that he cannot be hired, BUT, the employer was willing to give him some time to get an extension or renewal.

We immediately called USCIS and were told to file a new I-765 and request a renewal and expedited extension. We filed the I-765 with a letter requesting a letter of temporary extension that we can give the employer while we wait for the renewal to process. And our fingers are crossed. USCIS has received the packet, but no receipt number has been posted on our USCIS account, and we have as yet not received and I-797C notice. I'm freaking out because I'm not sure I have done everything necessary to get a renewal or temporary extension in a timeframe fast enough to suit the employer. Does anyone have advice, suggestions or questions that might help me speed the process up? I'm really afraid that because the original EAD/AP has expired, they may not grant an extension and force the whole issue to be a totally new renewal. This is a really great job opportunity and I'd really hate to think we messed up so badly that he will lose it.

Talk to me...

thanks

what address do i mail my i751 if i live in Illinois?

Hi y'all! I hope everyone is safe.

I lived in the U.S for almost 3 years, I was an au pair for two years and after that I changed my status to a tourist status so I could travel and stay in the U.S before returning home.

I applied to a change of status from J1 to B2 on November 2019. On August 2020 they answered my request saying my status was denied because they requested evidences and I did not answer so they considered the case abandoned.

The thing is I never received any request for evidences. And the system never showed this request as well. My only update before the denial was "name was updated" so I filled for a motion to reopen my case which is still going on and in the beginning of the year I sent a letter to USCIS to tell them I left the country and had no intention to overstay my VISA.

Anyway, I returned to my home country because I thought it would be better to come back and show them I never wanted to stay illegally.

My question is: if I apply for the CR1 visa, what are the chances it will be denied because of this USCIS issue?

I appreciate the help!

I left the USA on February 8 for work reasons and I left with the BIOMETRICS PROCESSING STAMP document (01/16/2020), but without an updated i 751 document, or one that notifies that the request for REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS IS IN PROGRESS. Who should I contact for reentry to the USA or what procedures should I follow to receive instructions to return to the USA?

Hi all,

We are just starting the K1 process and have a question for the group I'm unable to find an answer on. My fiance is from Medellin, where we met while I was living there for a few months. Due to Covid I am able to live and work remotely, but do need to return to the US at various times. I was thinking of moving longer term to Medellin while we wait for this process, but it would be much easier and cheaper for us to live in Mexico. Is this permitted or would it cause problems with the application? I would appreciate any help.
