US Immigration from Pakistan

Hello. I have a 10 year Permanent Resident card along with a valid Texas Driver License (REAL ID-compliant) and a Social Security card that says VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION . This was issued after I had my EAD but have not got a chance to update my Social Security Card to the unrestricted due to Social Security Administration being closed due to COVID-19. I went to the SSA website and answered a few questions and it showed me a result that I can apply for a replacement card online. Should I go ahead and do that and then I can go to my local SS office and submit my current SS card?

Note: I will be eligible to apply for N-400 this November of 2023 on a 5 year rule so I am looking forward to that as well.

Hello,

My case has been approved in 02/12/2022 and no action yet? any one give feed back how long it will take? and whats the next step will be?

Thank you

My husband applied for a J1 Hardship waiver for a 212(e) requirement based on his USC spouse (me), but we got denied roughly 2 1/2 years after filing (USCIS found hardship but DOS denied. Not financed by a US gov't agency). He hasn't been able to work for over a year.

Living in his home country is not a viable option for me (I have a career here and family caregiving obligations) and we don't want to be separated because we are planning a family.

So we're looking at other options to stay in the US together. One option is to apply for a Conrad-30 waiver position (this is for physicians to practice in an underserved area). The other is to litigate with the AAO to challenge the USCIS decision. (I know the denial letter says you can't challenge it, but there are some loopholes to the statute).

It's very frustrating. Is anyone else going through something similar?

My father had an interview in Feb 2022 in Islamabad along with my mother according to the visa officer his visa was approved but my mother was given a slip and long form of family history info and was put under AP. we submitted the form in a week time since then both parents status was as reject. At the time of interview Visa Officer asked my father if he would like he can issue his immigration visa but my father says he will wait for his wife visa and if both visa could be issued together so visa officer said that's fine ever since both of their status showed reject, to day I notice my father status say expiring soon and mother status still says reject. what to think of it

expiring soon message copied here

"Section 203(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires that your registration be canceled and any petition approved on your behalf canceled, if you do not apply for your immigrant visa within one year of being advised to do so.

You were advised of this requirement over 1 year ago, but we have not received a response from you since then. As a result, your application for a visa has been canceled and any petition approved on your behalf has also been canceled.

Your application may be reinstated and any petition revalidated if, within one year, you can establish that your failure to pursue your immigrant visa application was due to circumstances beyond your control. Please provide a written statement to the Embassy or Consulate outlining the circumstances beyond your control and noting that you still wish to pursue this visa petition.

I130 got approved but she has to file form i824 which she doesn t know why since she mentioned that She wants her visa to be processed abroad on her i130 not to adjust status .if she didn t, her petition will be retained by uscis. It s already said in the petition that the beneficiary resides outside USA.

I m about to file this form

did you file it as a petitioner or as a beneficiary?

and where did you file it?
