October filiers

[Jabalin05]

I know it's unfair that you're waiting for so long but all I can say is Nothing beats a prayer! And take comfort in that everything really does happen for a reason. Obstacles build character and they're just there for you to overcome. So keep praying it will happen!

I really appreciate your words,and I apologize if I offended someone,but am I true believer and after all these years I feel very grateful to this land that has given me freedom and a second chance,honestly if a person don?t feel love for this country I truly believe such individual shouldn?t be applying for adjusting of status or citizenship,my loyalty is to this country and willing to bleed and die for it,how many people on here would choose that to earn their place here? So let a crazy man talk to crazy men

Job,what the F... are you doing in the capital of our nation? I?ll have to quit community college to pay other bills,and work other jobs to feed my family,that?s the only way out,when your guys are American citizens never vote democrat,that?s why we?re so F... up

Stay calm my fellow immigrant. It doesn't do good spewing HATE on this forum. A lot of these DACA people you speak so much about to keep their status in the US had to maintain a good criminal record and pay a fee for their status just like everybody else. I have friends here that came here at a tender age because of the will of their parents and you know what one is about to get licensed as an Attorney and the next one is on his way to be a medical doctor. You can't go around making careless comments because there is a setback with your case. Your issue is not unusual and even before this DACA crisis, people were waiting for a long time for their work permit and even green card. In the last couple years of the Obama administration things had sped up with the USCIS but before that the wait was just as long. If you doubt what i'm saying just check on other forums that go back to the early 2000s for example **** **** ***. Instead of blaming others, pray for God to help you during this time....nothing lasts forever but the good salvation of the Lord.

Im confused.. you're saying that you've been here for 11 years illegally?
And of course you are right, DACA is delaying it since more people are applying.

That is accurate sir,11 years one month and this morning,the issue with DACA people is that they feel entitled,once they got their situation fixed back in 2012 they went to sleep,they never fought for other people like us,I applied for a U VISA which was denied last year;I?ve been married over two years,crossed the border legally on H2A program,even when I could file a green card I choose not to because I was raised to handle things by myself,and I?m one of the few people that will ask for help only if I can?t do something on my own,This country needs more givers than takers and that?s exactly what most of those so called dreamers are,I?ve been all over the country and it?s always disappointing to see people like them that can?t even keep jobs,I don?t care what statistics say about them,remember last year that Clinton was already the president? Media is a dang liar

You absolutely have some valid points. However...you are here ILLEGALLY for over 11 years.
You just said you had the opportunity previously to apply for a greencard but you choose not to.
That's your own choice and tha'ts fine, but don't start complaining now about DACA etc and how that is delaying your application.
If you had applied previously you wouldn't have this problem .

And honestly why on earth are you complaining about a group of people, why you are here illegally for 11+ years.
In my personal opinion you are part of the problem.

The entire reference bout dying for this country etc doesn't sit well with me either. I can tell you have never served your country( this isn't your country yet) and before you start, yes I am actually currently serving and on this for because we(my spouse and I) are applying too. However she isnt here illegal.
Again, I really hope everything will work out for you and that this entire process goes smooth and fast. But don't rant/complain about DACA when you're here illegal 11+ years.

Using your logic here:

My husband was ALWAYS here legally and followed all of the rules. But people like you who are here illegally delay his petition. Why should he have to wait when he did everything right?

But we don?t really feel that way about you or anyone else. In the end, everyone just wants to work and have a better life. If I?m frustrated with anyone, it?s the feds. They passed legislation but didn?t fund for additional workers that would be required to handle the increased petitions. Attacking DACA recipients on an online forum is obviously your way of venting your frustrations at the long burecratic process. I hope you get your EAD soon.

I came here with a H2A visa ma?am,and I earned my pass by working hard in the farms,jobs like you husband will never do or Americans for that matter,My case,u visa,was delayed for more than three years,it?s almost four years since I?ve been on that waiting,visa u and adjustment of status combined,so you want to tell me what? You have no idea how it is to live with fear,unlike your husband of my petition isn?t accepted I?m returning to Mexico because I?ve done all my efforts to earn a place in this country;I willrespect the law, and if I over stayed my work visa is because I want to be part of this great nation,serve in the military even if it cost my life,I really doubt there are lots of immigrants that are willing to do that,America need givers not takers,and with all due respect I didn?t delay nobody?s petition if I worked hard for it.

And how do you feel empathy if you husband?s petition didn?t take longer than 77 days,my u visa was denied,130 days ago filed adjustment of status,I refused to let my wife help me to adjust because I got the u petition pending,I?ve been married to her two years,never tried to use her help,Im putting aside my pride to stay for my kid,and in the other hand made my dream come true,enlist in the military serve the country and ?EARN? my citizenship,as you see we all immigrants are dreamers.

Well said!I totally agree with you. I think everyone has made a lof of sacrifices to be here....and the difference is that me (and i am sure many of us) has been always LEGALLY in the states, and we are just waiting instead of complaining and expressing the frustration by not being nice to others.Honestly to me this thread is becoming unpleasant to write when i see the language and intensive frustration of some people here.
I wish the best of luck to all and please think and speak positively,not worthed to fill yourselves with negative thoughts and energy.
God bless you all!

So DACA recipients didn't delay everyone's petition then. Perfect. The arguement about them clogging the system and delaying everyone else's petition is not solid. There are even people who filed in November who have received their combo cards in fewer days than my husband... hmm.. Have you ever considered that maybe there is another factor (or most likely a combination of factors that include high volume) that is causing your petition to take longer? High volume from DACA applicants alone doesn't explain why some get theirs quickly and others slowly.

And empathy doesn't require personal experience. I am sorry that your EAD has taken so long, and I can imagine how frustrating that is.

[waiting&praying]

I do understand everyone's frustration.. I have been waiting for my husband's EAD for 131 days now, so I am am in the same boat. This forum is here for us to share experiences & knowledge, get info, network, give advice, ....and express our opinions. Please lets not attack each others choices, reasons for being in position or opinions. Lets try to respect everyone's opinions here...plz

Update #5

Received AP approval notice on February 20, 2018, notice date February 15, 2018. I filed my AP two months after (December 2017) filing I-485,I-130 and I-765 in October 2017. I did not receive a combo card, my ead had not valid for re-entry and the AP will arrive as a paper document. Posting this information for people worried about filing I-131/I-765 separately.
Good luck to everyone still waiting!

My PD is Oct 6 and I have been very frustrated with no answers and no EAD so far so I reached out to my senator in Washington State. This was the reply:

Dear Mr. YYYY X:



Thank you for contacting our office regarding the status of your pending I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. Our office is best able to assist constituents when their cases have moved outside of normal processing parameters. At this time there does not appear to have been any unusual or procedural delay that our intervention would help to alleviate.

Please continue to monitor the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services processing times by visiting the following USCIS website: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplay.do. According to USCIS?s website the National Benefits, where your case has been assigned, is currently adjudicating I-765, Application for Employment Authorization that were filed on or before 10/06/2017. As such it seems likely that it will be a few months before USCIS is able to provide further update on your case. Please continue to monitor the processing times through USCIS?s website and if your case moves out of the stated current processing timeframe, then you should notify our office right away to seek further assistance.

It is my recommendation that you keep our office informed of your progress and request our assistance should any problems arise. Please feel free to contact our Seattle office with any questions or concerns you may have in the meantime.

Sincerely,

Sarah Monteith
Immigration Constituent Service & Outreach Representative
United States Senator Patty Murray



Anybody have any similar experiences or suggestions what I can do at this point?
