Hello.
I am new to this forum, but not so new to this country.
I have lived here for the past 8 years under an pending asylum application with my mother and was able to obtain a work permit (I765) through it. Last year our case got challenged, so we hired an attorney who was able to stop the Removal proceedings. She helped us apply for U-Visa which has been accepted. When I went to apply for a I765 this year under my asylum application it got denied, since the application was no longer pending! I was not aware of this, because the attorney never mentioned the application was finished. So with her "help" I applied for a new I765 under my U-Visa and hoped for the best, since I had to pay the attorney to file the application.
It has been almost 4 months (113 days) since my application was received and I got my receipt number. After 4 months the application is still "received and pending". After the initial 90 days passed I scheduled an appointment with the local USCIS office hoping they could help, but all they did is give me a service request number and said someone will contact me within 10 days. This was over 3 weeks ago! I also contacted the attorney, who can't give me an answer as to what to do. She said she tried to contact the Vermont Center where my application is pending with no result so far.
I have been unemployed for 3 months! I've lost all my money, I've lost most of my hope and I am starting to loose my mind.
Anywhere I turn I get told to wait 10 days, wait 45 days wait 90 days, with no end in sight. I can't get any help from the National Calling center, the local USCIS office or my attorney!
Please I beg of anybody who knows what I can do or has any suggestion no matter how insignificant or small I will appreciate any and all input.
Thank you for your time.
Victor
