Hey guys, I need answers and I'm just gonna get right into it.
To shorten my story;
- I had a deportation proceeding case even before DACA came out.
- I applied for DACA, i got approved and renewed twice already (going for 3rd).
- I got married to a USC back in 2016.
- Started the process for adjusting status to GC with a lawyer.
- We passed our first interview back in 2017.
- My case was finally terminated back in 2018.
After case termination, thats when we finally can apply for adjustment of status. That brings us now, we are just waiting for our 2nd interview date. My lawyer said... it MIGHT take a yr or 2 just to get an interview date, apparently its so backed up right now.
Now my problem is that I didnt think this process would take this long im currently in my 3rd yr !!! and now my concern is my DACA is expiring 5/1/19... i told this to my lawyer but he gave me 2 options for the meantime: apply for GC work permit since i already paid for it (part of the process) or renew my DACA. Problem is he said GC work permit might take 6-12months to process and it only have 1yr of expiration; I know DACA has 2yrs. I'm heading towards renewing my DACA since I dont want to lose that status also and it has 2 yrs expiration date. sooooo my questions are:
1. Does it really take this long to get a GC from som1 who has a deportation proceedings who married a USC? (I'm on my 3rd year of waiting)
2. Should I go for GC work permit or DACA work permit? which one do you guys think is the fastest to get approved?
3. If i do go for renewing my DACA, does having pending GC application complicate my DACA application? Should I mention it in my applicaiton?
4. What should I do??????? **crying emoji**
I need to apply something soon, since i only have 3 1/2 months left till my work permit expires, I have a job and I do need my driver's license. I know this is my fault for losing track of time, but honestly I didnt think it would take this long.... unfortunately it did... and i might have to wait even longerrrr !!! I thot i would have my GC by now !!! I need your help and suggestions pleaseeee thank you in advance !!!
