    Missing I-485 receipts, how to obtain them back?

    Thank you Jackolantern for the help, what should we show them? A#, SSN's, ID's, the little payment receipt that has our names on it? Is there anything else? We're gonna go to the appointment on Wednesday this week.

    Missing I-485 receipts, how to obtain them back?

    Yes, the field for Application Number is blank for my mom's I-797C NOA. The problem is that the lawyer is a good friend of my step-dad, he actually helped him with the immigration process when my step-dad first came to the US. But is there any reason why the Application Number would be blank...

    Missing I-485 receipts, how to obtain them back?

    Hi, my mom married my step-dad who is a USC and filed I-485 for herself and I. The thing is that my mom and my step-dad trusted this lawyer very much and our cases have been dragging on for ~6 years. We decided to stop using his services and wanted to check our case statuses, but we do not...

    Legal ramifications for pending I-485 using AB 540 in CA?

    The issue about I-485 pending so long is not the point of this thread. We are dealing with that separately. The point of this thread though is if AB 540 will have adverse effects on my immigration case. Can anyone answer this? Thank you very much.

    Legal ramifications for pending I-485 using AB 540 in CA?

    Thank you BigJoe5 for the response. I know it is unusual, I get that a lot when I tell people my case. We did enter on B visas. My mom and stepdad did marry before I turn 18. I do not know why USCIS take so long. I showed the admission lady at the college I applied for our I-485 proofs such as...

    Legal ramifications for pending I-485 using AB 540 in CA?

    Let me explain my situation first: My mom and I came here on B visas. We overstayed for 2 years, my mom and my step-dad (USC) got married (bona fide, love each other, live under single roof, filed tax jointly, joint bank account and etc... for 6 years now). My step-dad and my mom filed the...

    Can I go to California Community College with I-485 pending?

    I went to a public California high school for 4 years, my I-485 has been pending over that time. Does a school transcript count as proof of residency for tuition purposes?

    Can I go to California Community College with I-485 pending?

    Thank you very much Jackolantern: But may I ask which section of the law / code I can cite (for eligibility of attending and in-state tuition for CA) because I am going to be talking to my counselor at a CCC soon. Thank you very much, this forum has been a lifesaver :)

    Can I go to California Community College with I-485 pending?

    Can I go to a CCC with I-485 pending? I have lived in CA for more than 4 years with proof (high school transcript). Can I pay in-state tuition? If possible, can you post links to the website that shows that I am eligible? Thank you very much :)

    What constitutes inspection?

    I may be too generous of the USCIS to say this, but wouldn't they have some kind of an electronic database that keeps the records of all aliens who entered with inspection? Should we even bother to file an I-102 to replace the I-94? It does cost a lot of money. Again, will the IO reject the...

    What constitutes inspection?

    As far as my mom know, we do not have an I-94. When we landed she said she gave the officers our passport and they gave it back to us with that stamp. As for my original post, does having the EADs a sign that they accepted that we entered with inspection? What will happen at the interview for...

    What constitutes inspection?

    I might be in the wrong forum here, but my mom filed an AOS (through marriage) for her, me and my sister. However, what do we need to prove we entered with inspection and not an EWI? The only thing that we have is our passport which has a stamp that says the following: "U.S. IMMIGRATION...

    Working without work permit??

    Hi. my mom, my sister and I are awaiting a decision for our I 485's application for change of status based on marriage to a USC. My mom is a manicurist and she asked our lawyer whether if she needs EAD or not, her workplace does not require nor check for EAD's. Our lawyer said that if the...
