    I-765

    Status at Last entry- Advance Parole?
    Current Immigration Status- Advance Parole?

    Pls assist.

    Thanks,
    If you have used AP to enter, you should have a I-94 card printed as Parolee attached to your passport. In that case it would be,

    Status at Last entry- Parolee

    Current Immigration Status-Adjustment of status pending (AoS pending)

    Otherwise,

    use H1B status if you are in H1b or enter the category you are currently in.

    Thanks Kanmani-

    For I-131
    Last time i was there I did not get a printed copy. I can access the i-94 online and as i said above it says Class of Admission: DA. what does that mean? what should i put on the form for Class of Admission?

    For i-765
    Status at last entry: Parolee. OK got it.
    Current immigration status- you are saying that will be Adjustment of status pending and not Parole?

    NO i no longer have H1b

    Ok thanks very much.

    And On my passport on the stamp it says: DA/AOS. I read somewhere that that is the class of admission. The online i-94 says just DA for class of admission.

    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    You are a parolee. DA is two part D = Code as per the documents. A = Adjustment to immigrant status ..
    Here's the USCIS Link.

    I understand that I am a Parolee. But it my class of admission Parolee or is it DA/AOS as stamped on my passport or DA as mentioned on the electronic i-94?

    lozolneo,

    We recently submitted the EAD/AP renewal applications. we went through a lot of filled applications (available online - Google it).

    The answers were, Parolee and AoS pending for those questions respectively.

    Hello Gurus,

    I am a first time September filer EB2I with PD:20feb2009 and RD:08Sep2014 (TSC).
    My I765 and 131 are still pending and i opened an SR after completing 75 days. The SR status was completed last week and the reason i got from the customer rep is "the case is in transit"(in the officers queue).

    what are my options now since the case will be pending for more than 90days by the end of this week?
    I do have travel plans for 20Dec but not yet booked the tickets. Is it possible to get the temporary AP if the case is pending for more than 90days?
    Is it possible to create a request to expedite the process once it crossed pending for more than 90 days?

    Thanks kanmani- sorry just want to be really clear. You said answers for those were parole and aos pending.

    So you mean parolee is the answer for 2 questions ( class of admission for i693 as well as for status at last entry for ead) and aos pending for current immigration on the ead.

    Also can you please share where which service center you applied and if you got your renewal how long it took and if you still haven't got it, when did you apply for renewal.

    Would appreciate others also confirming kanmanis answers for the 3 questions. Thanks very much.

    Yes. That's what we have entered. Class of admission - Parolee and Current immi status - AoS pending.

    Ours is at TSC , waiting for the Receipt notice.

  10. #35
    And status of last entry is also parolee right?

    Do you mind me asking you when you sent out your application?

    Analyzing EAD renewal status messages:

    I applied for EAD/AP renewal in October and got a couple of updates recently. I am no longer on H1, so I am waiting eagerly as the current validity counts down to 0 . I am trying to analyze the difference between the 2 messages, to decide if I should raise an SR or something to expedite. I got the approval notice for my AP by mail last week.

    New Card is being produced
    On December 20, 2014, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number SRC159000***, and
    will mail it to the address you gave us. If you do not receive your card by January 19, 2015,
    please go to www.uscis.gov/erequest (https://egov.uscis.gov/eRequest/Intro.do) to request your card.

    Card was ordered to be produced
    On January 2, 2015, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number SRC159000***, and will
    mail it to the address you gave us. If you do not receive your card by February 1, 2015, please go
    to www.uscis.gov/erequest (https://egov.uscis.gov/eRequest/Intro.do) to request that we send your new card to you.

    Feb 1, 2015 is too late for me, so any inputs/suggestions are welcome.

    You can raise a SR 75 days post the I765 Receipt Date (The processing times page has this info mentioned on top). There is no harm in raising a SR and infact it will give you further clarity.

    From your message, it looks like both the messages are for your AP and not for EAD. If EAD is what matters to you as of now then do raise a SR over phone

    Feb. 1st is the worst case estimate (considering all possible delays - this is what I think based on my Experience). From my experience, I receive the approval notice 2-3 days after the email and text updates and have never hit the worst case date.
    As long as you receive the approval before your expiration date, you should be fine. So even if the physical card reaches you two-three weeks after, you should be fine. You can update your I-9 once you receive the card. Make sure you keep your HR dept and any relevant parties in your company updated.

    Thanks Pundit. The messages are for the EAD card (based on the receipt number in the status message). I'll raise an SR just in case, as I did not receive an official approval notice for I-765. I only got the approval notice for the AP.

    Posting for the benefit of everyone.

    Somebody just asked me (privately) if expiring EAD/AP document puts him/family in the risk for unlawful presence.

    The answer is unequivocal NO.

    EAD/AP expiration has no effect on your status in US. You do not accrue unlawful presence with the expiration of EAD/AP.
    I no longer provide calculations/predictions ever since whereismyGC.com was created.
    I do run this site only as an administrator. Our goal is to improve clarity of GC process to help people plan their lives better.
    Use the info at your risk. None of this is legal advice.

    Hey Kanmani- any updates on your EAD/AP? We sent ours in on December 02, and got a receipt notice for Dec 05, but haven't heard anything since.

    Around two years back, we got our renewals in approximately 25 days. Is current EAD/AP processing time approaching 90 days?

    There seems to very little information on the trackitt 765 tracker for some reason.

    Looks like currently they are processing applications with the RD of October 15, I think it may take a month for us to reach the table.

    No updates from my side.

    Thanks Kanmani, this is very helpful. BTW, what website are you using to determine what dates they are processing now?

    I'll keep you posted if I hear anything on my side as well.

    I am using trackitt website's EAD tracker.

    Thanks Kanmani. I just found the trackitt forum you'd mentioned. I was only using the tracker table, which is seldom updated.

    Getting bio metrics notice for EAD/AP renewal - is it a norm now or case to case basis? Any ideas?

    My understanding is that the biometrics are almost always requested if you submit your EAD renewal online, while paper-based submissions don't trigger a biometric. Other forum members can confirm.

    Nope, I have been using online EAD extensions for past couple of times since 2007. Never had a biometrics appt. I think biometrics is a standard for some non-employment based applicants, not us.

    Hi All
    I just wanted to post on this forum on the time lines that are being taken these days by USCIS for extending/renewing EAD/AP. My EAD/AP expires in March '15. My attorney (a small firm in NC) suggested that I apply early and we applied in the first week of October. It took good 4 months and I just got my new cards in the mail this week.

    Please keep this (4 months) in mind while applying/extending/renewing for EAD/AP. This may not be applicable for people who also has H1B and are not worried about un-able to work etc.

    Wait, doesn't the EAD/AP application get rejected or sent back if one applies earlier than 120 days? Am I missing something here?
