Hi Marcela!

I saw on your timeline that you requested an expedited EAD and they didn’t ask for evidence. Did you do it over the phone? And what was your reason given?

Hi, I did it over the phone. The rep was trying to talk me out of it but I was over it already and went ahead, she said I would get request for proof my reason was that I had a job offer. Two days after I got notification that it was approved without evidence request

What documents should I take to adjustment of status (i485) interview?

I just mentioned countries that I’m planning to visit, but UK was not it that list  so I guess just by default they allow u to travel 

Cool

Actually, even tho I applied for the AP I won’t be traveling outside of the country cause they can certainly deny you entry. 

But you rarely hear those stories, I mean I have never heard an entry denial under AP

Hi,

 

I just came back from UK two days ago. So if u are interested I can share my experience. When I arrived to US airport (it was directed flight from London to Houston), I provided for officer my home country passport, combo card, marriage certificate. He was looking for something , then he called other officer, said “soft” and I followed that another officer for secondary. I was waiting there like 15mins. I saw when He took folder with all my documents, I got stamp to my passport. Then officer called my last name, asked reason for traveling outside the US and gave me back all my documents. That’s all. I was kind of scared that for some reasons they won’t let me in back to the US. Also I got briefcase, so he told me do not forget to pay duty taxes at airport. It took for me one hour. This is the part when I got A LOT of questions. Why, when, how much, why do I need that, who paid for that etc . Anyway, after one hour almost they gave me receipt, I paid and left airport. 
 

Now I’m flying again back to Europe, will see, how I won’t get in trouble lol

 

best of luck for y’all 

Did you apply for multiple trips or it is just open to multiple trips by default?

Because you always fly under the passport name.   An air carrier will deny you boarding if the passport does not match the reservation.

 

You carry your marriage certificate copy as the link between the two.   You enter the US with the Passport and when asked present the AP card. 

 

If you want to travel under the name on your GC you need to get a new passport.

Thank you....I'm a little hesitant about wether or not they'll let me in hahahaha ( I know wouldn't deny me though, but the doubt is there)

Yes and book the flights in your passport name

Always a good idea,

Nothing to it.   Don't be surprised if you go thru secondary - but it will be quicker this time.

Thanks for your answer....why under my passport name? I got new last name my passport doesn't match AP  Card

I want to travel out of the US with the advance parole.....

Do I use my home country passport? Or forget about it?

Do I need to bring marriage certificate?

What else? Have you done it? Can you give me instructions?

And there’s me submitting 2 expedites requests sending evidence both times and not hearing a single thing about a decision, congrats though hope it will be me soon just very frustrating. 

Sorry to hear that.Have you called?

Remember on Jan 20th I requested expedite for work authorization? Yesterday got an email saying they were reviewing, next step is I sent evidence right? ...today I got an email saying I'm approved!!!! They knew they were late.. thanks God

Hi anyone have the contact to call and speak to an officer? I have tried to call the USCIS contact center 1-800-375-5283 but theres no options to speak to a human

Idk the number but take the option of checking on you status, it will tell you to input your case number, go by you lost your number, it will talk, go by you don't find your case number, then the machine will get annoyed and will transfer you to a life rep,. Which will also ask you for your case number, then give your case number to the representative...and that's how you talk to them.

I just submitted the expedite request and the Rep. Seemed very inclined to talk me out of it( like my case would be put on hold) I told I've waited a lot I've got nothing to lose right now.

Congratulations!!!  I am very happy for you!!!

Thank you

Good morning, 

I have a company that wants to hire me....can anyone that was offered by paper (to expedite) a job position show me the letter (of course blurry important info) ? Please.Thank you

So... How do you count the days? From filling date or from fingerprints appt date? For EAD and AP

My filling date is AUG 15 😭

How much time after your status changed to "ready to be scheduled for an interview " did you wait for the EAD to be approved? I'm so discouraged... Called USCIS yesterday(again) and they said I have to wait 7 1/2 months to even file an inquiry

1-2 months for the ead or the actually greencard? 

Either one, in my case I would think EAD because Portland local office is very behind with interviews

Did you ever call? I’m trying to fine the number in this thread to call snd Inquire about it. i know they’ll probably just say I’m still within the processing time but it will make me feel better to hear that from them lol 

I did call, just Google USCIS phone and then follow instructions to hear case status but lost your case number....the rep. Told me you are still within regular timeline but is actually  taking more time than usual, she recommended to wait 1-2 months but it should get done before that😔

I’m wondering if I should call and ask if there are any updates on their end 

I think we should
