It’s there standard process. You will get your card right after status changes to your card was mailed.

oh thanks I did not know that . 

just chatted with Emma on the USCIS website and according to Emma it will take upto 60 days for me to receive the card after it was ordered for production .

What was your RFE for? 

RFE was for further evidence that I stayed with my ex .

Hey, C31 doesn't come as a combo card. No inclusion of AP. If you're not in removals yes it's safe to travel but you have to check for travel restrictions at the destination you're planning on going to. Also it's not advisable for asylum seekers to travel to their home country as it contradicts with the whole purpose of the petition. They're supposed to be seeking refuge here..so if you can travel freely then you probably do not have any need to seek refuge!💁

Thanks for the clarification . I was not sure about it . I think I should be fine as far as travel is concerned

I had one case the person got the approval notice today, but she received the EAD category C31 two months ago.

Does the C31 EAD also come with the AP  or do we have to apply for it seperately. If you are not in removal proceedings and you are not asylum seeker than is it safe to travel ?

Thank you! I appreciate the support.

 

The state I may be moving to will require me to get a car, but will only provide a drivers license for the duration of my EAD. I will be renewing it next month, but with all the delays and problems with USCIS at the moment, I am afraid that I won't be able to get too and from work if I'm even without it for a day!

 

It is a great opportunity to start a new chapter after everything that has happened the last year. Hopefully I can get this issue resolved so that I can continue to move forward with my life as positively as I can

 

 

I used my NY State Driver license through the entirety of my VAWA journey , even though  i live in another state . You can buy a car and get insurance on your NY Driver license even though you are living in different state . Many states do not issue or transfer a drivers license if the applicant is not a legal resident , or they will issue a temporary license valid only for the duration of your EAD . It is very stressful to go through the process and I think it is un necessary . If you have a valid NY state Driver license do not worry about transferring it to another state . Just avoid that hassle altogether . Just be careful driving and you won't have any problems . Once your VAWA gets approved than go ahead and change it . Most likely you will get an RFE from Immigration asking you to explain why the address on your license is different from your current address . In that case Just explain to the Immigration what I wrote above . I went through it personally so that is why I am sharing it with you . It will make your life a hell of a lot easier . You need to drive a car to be able to work almost everywhere outside of NY city . Good Luck to you .
