I also asked my lawyer approximately how long does it take to receive the EAD; he said approx 60 days after the bio (unless they dont send another one since I have one now from DACA) --these are his words.

Another thing, I had submitted my DACA renewal packet end of May, and so far, I have only received the Notice of Action notices (via email, not in the mail). For my last renewal, I had received the biometrics within a month, and right now, it has been more than a month since I submitted the app for DACA renewal, and no biometrics appointment letter has been received.

So my question is: will USCIS still issue me a new work permit even though I still have one? (from DACA) My current one expires mid-Sept 2016, and I have already received an email from HR to send them a copy of the new card as soon as possible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Congratz! I am working on my AOS packet now and hoping you could help me on a question. When sending the 1044 Tax Returns, did you send every single page? My previous year forms have like 100 pages each, wondering if I should attach the entire document or not.

How long did it take for you to receive the EAD after doing your biometrics? And how long till interview?

If I remember correctly, EAD came about 6 weeks after biometrics & my interview appointment about a month later. I was very lucky & my case was processed fairly quickly. Submitted AOS application Feb 17th, received appointment notice early May & interviewed June 6th.

Could you please stop spreading lies?

None of us are wishing this upon anyone.

Please provide proof.

My husband and I both had about 30-40 pages each, but yeah, it was a big packet in itself. We only had to give our 2015 tax returns.

Gotcha. So approx 4-5 months from start to finish, which is a little faster than average. Lucky you

Thanks

How much do people pay their lawyers on average for an adjustment of status? Someone offered to do it for $600 and I have nothing to compare it to. TIA

Hello everyone I am about to send off my AOS application this week. Me and my husband are super excited! Does anyone know if with 245(I) or known as "I-485A" form if I should include a explanation letter of my eligiblity as a "grandfathered derivate beneficiary alien"? I am including a copy of my mothers old I-130 which was approved on April 2 2001 that my grandfather that filed it for her who was a U.S. Citizen at the time (he has passed on) and my birth certificate showing my mothers name for "child and mother relationship" existed and also including prove of my presence before and after December 20 2000.

$2000. It's a lot, but I'd rather a lawyer do it than me (they're more qualified). Applying for DACA isn't that difficult to do on our own, but I didn't want to risk anything for the AOS application.

We paid about $4000 for the I130, AP application & AOS.

Hey guys I'm in the same boat. I applied for daca and my lawyers are about to send my AOS application. They recommend not applying for a work permit since I have one pending for my daca renewal. I'm not sure what to do. They said it would delay my application since I have two work permit applications and I should try to keep things as less complicated as possible. But with the delay we're experiencing with renewals, I'm wondering if this is a good move. Any advice from people who've been through this would be greatly appreciated.

They need you!
