    Eoir 42b visa availability for FY 2019

    We (Husband & I ) had our infopass appointment today. Even though they were at different times, we were both allowed in at the same time. Although we came in about 15 minutes early, we had to wait way past our appointment time (about 45 minutes) since there was only 1 person working. She was...

    For those of you wondering, I am still waiting for a call back from USCIS, :confused:. It has been approximately 3 weeks. They said it could take 30 days. I have not received my granted letter. My lawyer said they were notified of my approval. I think they sent him the letter. He has not...

    I have to apply for a work permit again today. This makes me sad, frustrated + all the emotions that come along with being on this side of things. I know I am soo close. I was trying to hold on to hope that I would be granted and held off applying for a while. Spending $500 dollars year after...

    Was yours a traditional 42b? was it LPR or Non-LPR? was there detention involved? It seems out of the ordinary. I had my master hearing after you but the individual hearing before you. Maybe they took into consideration the long wait from the Master hearing. That being said, congratulations...

    Aaargh! Why do some people feel the need to make other people’s lives miserable. I get so upset when people feel the need to be rude especially when they possess a certain ‘power’ over your situation. I am so sorry you had to go through this. I am glad this part of your journey is almost...

    Yes it was. I guess we are part of more than one forum. This thing has me sitting on the edge of my seat!!! My husband says I am driving myself crazy by checking the automated status website all the time. Well, it is what it is, I will not stop checking and will report it immediately it happens.

    Pre Covid, it would have happened by now as we'd expect around 1.5 years from the final hearing to grant, but with COVID we can only speculate. My hearing was in May of 2019 and I am still waiting. The last grant I heard was of someone with a final hearing in April 2019. That was about 4 weeks...

    I would go with the advice given by @perucali above. This process costs enough $$$ as it is without people trying to unnecessarily profit from our situation. The rest of your process should be a walk in the park.

    Did he specify why he is charging just to get the grant to you. Do you still maybe owe him legal fees? Sounds absurd that he should ask for $1500 just to give you what should be rightfully yours

    Yep, mine's May 1st 2019. I am cautiously optimistic. At the rate things are going, it may seem that they are clearing a sort of temporary "backlog" created by the pandemic. We've had Individuals who were granted in Nov 2018 to Feb '19 being granted around the same time. That's just my guess...

    I just received my renewal in the mail. It was approved 15 days ago. I hope my approval comes soon. These cards do not come cheap, let alone during a pandemic. I'd hate to keep spending $$ on renewals

    Sorry I should have clarified, I have not received it yet. I just got the approval notification last week( which i guess means someone in USCIS is working). . I filed to renew on/around July 20th. My work permit expired September 29th. They do have that 180 day rule where you can work so long as...

    Nothing. It’s hard being in limbo. I did have to renew my work permit which cost me $480. We might also have to spend the same on my hubby. I want to vent so hard but it will just make me sadder. I will keep you posted on any progress

    Eoir 42b visa availability for FY 2019

    I am resigned to the possibility of mine now being a two-year wait. Initially, I had calculated that I was going to be approved around September 2020, based on my court date of May 2019, it seems to me that the reality may be quite different. Either way, I hope the courts pick up and you get...
