optimisticchic most of people that I filed form I-765 lately they got their EAd in 60 days,just a few in 90 days.

Sandra,the 765 that you filed lately where they new cards or renewals? Do they speed up renewal cases compared to new cases. Did you file any new case betwwn end of Nov and December who have been approved already?

Thanks Bless_Me for the information. So basically this is your first EAD since the other one was revoked,right? What is your receipt date for your EAD?

Bless me why did your lawyer file form I-765 using category 31? it means you will have your work permit just after approval of your Vawa, it will take between 15/19months, the category he chose is just for those with Vawa approved. If you want to work right away and your husband is an US Citizen he should file work permit using category C9 and then you will receive the work permit in 30/60 days. He screwed up big time, if you paid for the work permit fees and his fees he should file form I-765 category C9(if your husband is american) and you should not pay the Uscis fees and his fees as well since he was the one who screwed up.

The law is clear

EAD for individuals with pending application for adjustment of status (I-485) the category is C9

Sandra,is it really taking 30/60days to get work permit nowadays? It seems vermont is as slow as anything. I filed last week Nov/early December but still no word. Don't know my receipt number as my attorney is refusing to give it to me. I just hope i get it soon.

Hi nidss! Goodluck to the both of us I am also new here, Im just ahead of you 3 months

Hi Bless me,welcome to the forum. Do you mind stating when your I765 was received at VSC. You said November? I just need to have a clue what date VSc is working on. Good luck on your journey.

Optimistichic!! Imagine am Still waiting. havent heard anything since then..,my lawyer told me that it will keep pending until my Vawa is approved first. So am just waiting for Vawa to be approved first so that my Workpermit to be approved and then i shall file I-485.

Hey Akumu,when did you apply for your I765?

Guys there is no need to argue.Sandra, I think you took survivors2012 response out of context. She wasn't speaking bad about you. Please brothers and sisters, lets not start the new year on the wrong note. Love you guys and please let's be strong for one another.

Hey my friends.

Just want to say Hi to you all and as everyone here knows that my journey with VAWA ends with me leaving the USA, but I want to let you guys Know that My attorney just send me an Email saying that the work permit renew that I applied when I was in the US was granted and he have it at his office. It don't change anything for me anyway because i left the country, but maybe a miracle will happen that they could send the green card without interview and than i could return to the US and my Husband would never know that I m living there with my baby daughter.

Its only a dream now, lets wait and see .

hugs to all of you guys and good luck with approvals this year.

K. Mendez, I am so sorry you had to leave the country. I have heard pple file for vawa outside the country and get approved. Did you have a valid visa before you left? I am glad things a looking up for you concerning the work permit. Things will be great in the end. God never ends in a negative.

Optimistichic hi...l know you were approved last month..did you ever call vsc about your case?l really wanna call but not sure if its a good decision...

check your inbox missymd.

Hi Sandra I want to CRY because never was in my life in like that situation , I do everything trough my lawyer my friends helps me with money I don't know when I will be able to return back ... Ohhh the Lowyer told me I have to send check because that will be more quickly , and I will receive my work authorization , I don't know what to do simply I wait the miracle , I m tired really ... I thinking to go home to Europe because I can not survive anymore ....(((

ishka86,i sent you a private message.

I got mine rather quickly, on november 27th they issued receipt notice, on december 7th they already mailed it out, 3 days later I had it in my hand!!! I also received a biometrics appointment right away, just had it yesterday. Hopefully that means yours is on the way now too

Thanks avk! that was pretty fast. I dont even know my receipt notice date or number. The worst thing is my attorney is going to be out of the office from friday till the 2nd of January. I really need it.

Hi guys,hope everyone is doing great and in the festive mood already? Quick question,has anyone recently filed for a work permit between Nov/Dec? if yes,how long did it take? I had a perception that it was taking a little over 2weeks to get it as the recent trend has been showing. I can't even get my attorney to give me my receipt notice. She says she tends to hold it until clients get the card so I can't even track it online.

@lordhelpme,how is the gathering of evidence coming along? You will be fine:).

Where is everyone else?This thread needs some revival with good news.

Thank u and as for doing myself u guys gave me the courage to! At least now I can get to work and be able to support myself more, will be job hunting :-)

Congrats nardah! I also applied last week(filled my forms and gave my attorney on the 28th) but no news yet. That was pretty fast. Is this a new application or renewal.I really need to get it by the end of the month. Thanks

They printed my card with the photo that I sent in with the application, and where the fingerprint goes it just says "fingerprint not available".

Thanks 37shells! I really do hope I get it within 3weeks.

Congrats on your approval! No, I didn't have biometrics for EAD, i have an appointment though for biometrics for my i-485 which I rescheduled and just received a new appointment date. My EAD only took 3 weeks i'm sure yours will be just as fast!

Please don't give up!

Thanks 37shells! So I am assuming it was the passport pictures you sent in with your application that is on your EAD? Was your fingerprint also on the card? I think some jobs ask for EAD with fingerprints as well as pictures so I am curious to know how they got your fingerprints without biometrics appt?

I recieved a denial notice yesterday.

My jay, I am so sorry to hear that. You have been on my mind. Please try and refile your case. Be strong friend.

i received my biometrics notice within 3 weeks or so of filing...and the work permit 3 weeks after that.

they are working fast when it comes to the 765 i think...(they need our tax money i guess!! )

Thanks for the information Somone! Really hope I can get it soon.

Congrats

Thanks lorphelpme! Yours is on its way.

im shock ,today i receive email and said my case denial

On November 28, 2012, we mailed you a denial decision notice

any body have idia

Sorry about that lion_lion! Try refilling this time around.

congrats you guys !!!! :dance: So happy for you!!!!

praises be to the Almighty !

Thanks Guys. Somone and 37shells, did you have biometrics when you applied for your i765? How long after you turned in your application did you get the biometrics appointment and approval of the Work permit? Thanks!

Congrats resignedtoinswhim!

Hi guys, just checking in on everyone . I got my approval notice and deferred action today. I also filed for my work permit. Hope you everyone is keeping themselves busy and happy at this time? It will all end well. God bless.

congratulations optimistichic,

for those of us still waiting, someday, sometime, lets keep the faith, hope and prayer

hope this week brings something here.

Thanks Somone and dominique! How is everyone holding up? Stay strong friends!

Wishing everyone a good week with news of approval. Stay strong guys!

Hi Sandra,does it really take 3-4days to get my approval(HARDCOPY)? My lawyer doesnt even know that I have been approved. I contacted her today to request for a prima facie and she said she will contact USCIS? when do you anticipate my lawyer will receive the hardcopy? I need actual proof gosh.

Optimistic God bless you for this! Am at my lowest right now and this really helped. I pray God forgives me for all the things i said to him.

Yagana,when things begin to get rough a change is about to come.Remember,you have already been forgiven for the sins you were going to commit 2000 years ago. Don't be too hard on yourself. Try to get yourself involved in things that you enjoy doing. Surround yourself with people who lift you up with encouraging words.God bless!
