US Immigration from Vietnam

Guys,

I have a question on how to proceed with this situation.

I got robbed of my wallet in Feb this year, and got an i551 stamp in the passport, the stamp is expiring on 21st Feb, 2023. I need to to visit my country Vietnam and help my parents with some stuff early December and may have to stay well beyond the expiration of the stamp. I called USCIS today to get another stamp but they said I can only request an Infopass Appointment if it's within 60 days of expiration.

Is there any other way I can get this stamp earlier? Or is there some paperwork that can help me get back to the US if I have to stay beyond the expiration on the i551 stamp?

TIA

Hi guys. I'm in a tough situation like many of you here. My OPT is expiring in Jan 2023. I have a STEM degree, but my employer (Walgreens) is not willing to fill out I-983 training plan for me as a part of STEM OPT application. I'm trying to fight this and convince them to fill out the form.

However, it seems like the best bet for me is to expedite the pending AOS EAD (F2A). I've submitted an expedited request with the reason of job loss and not being able to pay rent, insurance, and e.t.c. Is this convincing enough for my request to be approved? I'm also thinking to ask for help from my congressman if my attempts don't succeed.

This is a long shot but has anyone here worked for Walgreens and applied for STEM OPT through them?

Is there anything else I can do to salvage my situation? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

My wife submitted her I-751 in August 2020. It went to the Potomac Service Center. Her biometrics were reused in December 2020 and her case was moved to NBC "to speed processing" in December 2021. There had been no case updates until today, when the most recent online status changed to "Case was updated to show fingerprints were taken" again. Does this mean someone is actually - finally - looking at the application? Has anyone else had this status update showing a second biometrics reuse on the same application?

Thanks - Jason

Hi, guys. My mum was approved IR5-visa with I-551evidencing permanent resident for 1 year. Do you know when I will need to renew her visa? 90 days before expiry date?

And the form to apply is I-90? After that, how long will her new green card be valid for? (like 10 years?) Any condition beside not going overseas outside the US for more than 6 months?

Thank you so much!!!

Hi,

Just as the title suggests, do we send originals of Affidavits or photocopies to USCIS? This is in response to an I-485 RFE we recently received. Family attestations about our shared marital life together. The RFE itself makes no mention of requiring originals, but some Googling has us questioning ourselves.

Thank you.
