I have work permit from my student visa. I started to work knowing that work permit approval does not usually take more than 2 months. It has been more than 3 months since NBC has received my papers and a little less that 3 moths since the notice date. My student work permit (which is full-time during vacation) has expired 2 days ago. I went to the DO (New York) right before it was supposed to expire to get some kind of temporary work permit, but they sent me to a wrong room, where the advance paroles are issued and GC interviews are held. I thought it would be nice to get an Advance Parole as well since it is taking to long and we were planning to travel in September and needed to buy the tickets. Anyway, it was a nightmare. I came first and spent almost 9 hours waiting. I got it
(which is the most important thing!!!), but I was the last . I could not leave the room so I was late to ask about my temporary work permit, because their office was closed already. I will not be able to handle that 9 hours waiting anymore, so I am very curious when exactly I can apply for temporary work permit. I know it is coming
in 2 or 3 weeks from NBC (WE”RE ALL HOPING), but I do not want to work without work permit.
Sorry for such a long story.
Anyway, is it supposed to be 90 days since NBC received my application or 90 days since the receipt date?
