My MIL's EAD is expiring in a few weeks and USCIS is no longer processing EAD's from people like her. She plans to not illegally work, because she doesn't want to give the Trump administration a reason to deny her pending i-485 (1+ year pending now). Anyways, Walmart where she works gives her Vacation. I think the Vacation paid out like days she would be working. So if her EAD expires on 5/10, could she take 7 days of vacation for 5/11-> +7 days? Or do you think it's safer to have her vacation days get paid out for days she would have worked before her EAD expires? Is this question clear? For my job if I were to quit, they just pay me my unused vacation. But I don't think that's how Walmart works. I think she has to say she is taking vacation 5/11, 5/12, 5/13, 5/14,5/15... etc. Days she would have been scheduled to work she need to record vacation. So can she do that for days after her EAD expires or does it need to be before?

Submitted the i-765 via online submission where it literally tells you what to upload. What we uploaded was as follows 1. Signed i-765 pdf that the USCIS online submission checks for accuracy and doesn't allow you to proceed until the system confirms it is correct 2. I-797C receipt of proof of pending i-485. The system also checks this for accuracy. I had to scan it a couple times before the system confirmed it and allowed me to proceed. 3. I-797C receipt for the most recent i-485 status. This was a receipt showing that they reused fingerprints. 4. Official I94 document - printed from the website. 5. 2x2 picture 6. Identity documented - Uploaded both NYS drivers license and current unexpired EAD card. Note - the USCIS website then checks the entire submission for completion and the website itself set the payment amount which was $260 dollars that consistent with the fee structure as their i-485 was submitted in June 2024 which is after April 1, 2024. Thoughts? What do you do when they reject an application saying you didn't provide something, but you did because it was automatically checked, and the automatic system then allowed the case to be created?

i-765 error - guidance on how to proceed? |

immigrant had a valid i-765 work authorization. Their work authorization was expiring in a few months, and so we wanted to submit a renewal for their work authorization. The original basis for their work-authorization is no longer valid, and instead we were applying based on pending i-485 residency. The issue as you can see from the attached picture from the form, we selected "renewal of my permission to accept employment" because those words were exactly what we were doing... However if you read the definitions in the instructions it clearly states that "initial permission" is when you are asking for work permission depending on a new basis. "Renewal" is only supposed to be for when you are renewing your work authorization under the same class that you were previously approved for. Anyways, We did it wrong. The rest of the application is correct, and the filing fee is correct.... Is this something I can correct now somehow? or is this something that an agent would just roll his eyes over and file it as a initial permission?

This is sorta related to my last post, but now I am questing everything I was doing. Cuban citizen originally came to the US legally under Biden's Cuban Humanitarian Parole Program. She applied for I-765 EAD with code "Parole c(11)" in May of 2023 and received her EAD card 30 days later. The expiration of her EAD lines up with the expiration of her 2-year humanitarian parole window. She applied for i-485 permanent residency 1 year + 1 day after her arrival in the US via Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966. It should be noted that I personally did 5 of these applications, and 2 of the 5 received their green cards 3 months later where the other 3 are just "pending" but will certainly be approved. Since USCIS is such a mess, and there is no real timeline for when they will do their job, I feel she needs to file for some sort of extension of her work authorization. Questions : 1. What should her i-765 filing category be? 2. What is the filing fee?

How did the DHS select I-134a parole immigrants? |

K-9 Visa

I filed a I-134a parole application for my lovely Cuban fianc e January 14, 2023, or five days after applications opened. In July, 2024 I sued the DHS and three weeks later her I-134a parole was approved. Coincidence, I'm sure. The DHS never issued her an ATA so she interviewed for her K-1 visa two weeks ago, but that's another story. My question is, how did DHS choose I-134a parole immigrants? Selection wasn't chronological, or we would have been selected in early 2023. Same with a lottery, we should have been selected long ago. And DHS wasn't picking immigrants who had a K-1 visa application pending. I might file an FOIA request asking this question. If no one can answer this question here, I'll cross-post this question in the Caribbean forum.
