EB2-NIW 時程分享 - 移民

小弟一直都在本版潛水 感謝各位前輩們在板上分享時程和經驗
由於本身申請綠卡的過程非常不順利
看到版上很多人分享神速拿到綠卡的時程
但並沒有太多人分享掉到黑洞的經驗
就想要來跟大家分享一下 個人慘烈的經驗
希望我的經驗可以鼓勵到 還在苦苦等待的潛水版友們

座標:Houston
收據開頭:SRC
Priority Date 2019/02/07

2018/07/26 Signed Contract with Attorney

2019/02/05 I-140, I-485 (with I-765, I-131, I-693) were filed concurrently

2019/02/07 Case was received by TSC

2019/03/04 Biometric/Fingerprint was taken

2019/04/01 I-765 and I-131 was approved, 1st combo EAD/AP card was received

一開始485反應還滿快的 結果從此掉進黑洞 完全無聲無息
2020 年初問了一下律師 律師要我們耐心等待 說跟我們同時申請的人已經有好消息了
結果開始遇到COVID 只能滿滿無奈地繼續等

2020/01/16 Renewal for I-765 and I-131 were filed

2020/06/15 I-765 and I-131 renew was approved, 2nd combo EAD/AP card was
received

2020/08/24 I-140 Service Request was filed
律師也覺得太誇張了 幫我們去問
然後跟我們說他最近發現concurrent file的好像都掉進黑洞
他其他客戶 140 和 485 分開丟都早早收到綠卡了
就是幾個concurrent file的客戶都無聲無息(包括我們)

2020/11/19 I-140 was approved

終於在耐心等待651天之後 收到了140 approval notice
原本以為撥雲見日了 結果反而掉進另一個黑洞
我們的律師跟我說根據他以往的經驗 我們應該可以在140 approve 後4-6個月內收到綠
卡
還說我們不用擔心EAD renew的事

2021/04/14 Renewal for I-765 and I-131 were filed (2nd EAD card will be
expired on 2021/06/14)

結果等了六個多月發現不大對勁 第二張EAD快要過期了 趕快丟了renew的申請

2021/06/01 Receive I-765 Receipt (180 days automatic extension for 2nd EAD)

結果TSC一整個無敵大黑洞 I-765 Receipt前兩次EAD申請都一兩個禮拜就收到了
這次讓我們足足等了七個禮拜 就在EAD要過期前兩個禮拜驚險收到I765的Receipt
沒收到receipt連180天 auto extension都要沒了

2021/06/14 2nd EAD card expired, start 180 days automatic extension

2021/10/03 Request I-485 Outside normal processing time through USCIS website

等阿等 覺得越來越不對勁
查了一下 驚恐發現 I-765 Processing Time在TSC居然要12個月
到處查了一下才發現TSC嚴重 case backlog
覺得我絕對不可能在180天內收到EAD卡
開始瘋狂催促I-485

2021/10/13 Receive I-485 RFE notice, asking for a new I-693 as the original
submitted I-693 is expired (> 2 years)
之前的體檢過期了 又花了好幾百塊重新做了體檢 趕快送出去

2021/11/01 Respond to RFE was received by USCIS (submitted a new I-693)

2021/11/10 Submit Expedite Request for I-765 through Emma -> Denied
immediately

2021/11/18 Contact Senator office to inquiry regarding I-485 and I-765

2021/11/24 Submit Expedite Request for I-765 through Emma -> Denied
immediately

問公司HR我這種狀況怎麼辦 HR說沒辦法
180天過後沒收到EAD就是按規定只能把我Terminate
瘋狂地到處想辦法 找Senator 還有跟Emma 聊天 但完全沒有用

2021/12/10 180 day automatic extension for 2nd EAD was expired, current job
was terminated

絕望 180天正式到期 工作沒了 只能在家等待燒存款

2021/12/16 Request I-485 Outside normal processing time through USCIS
website.

Tier 2 officer 回覆說要我等60天
I have requested this case for further review and processing.
You will be notified by mail when a decision is made
or if further information is required to process your case. You should expect
an action on your case within 60 days.
律師說這是好消息 據他以往經驗這種回答應該馬上就會收到啦!!!

2022/01/07 USCIS respond to Senator’s inquiry USCIS records show that the
priority date of the case for which your constituent is inquiring is
currently available and that the case, with other visa available cases, is in
the process to be assigned to an adjudicating officer. Please note that in
the interest of fairness to all applicants, this case can only be assigned to
an adjudicating officer once it reaches its place in queue.

兩個月前請Senator幫我們問 Senator Office無奈說USCIS也不理他們
等了兩個月終於給了回覆 結果看到快要翻桌 叫我慢慢排隊啦!!

2022/02/02 Submit Expedite Request for I-765 through Emma, tier 2 officer
request for additional information within 48 hours

沒工作在家燒錢心煩意亂 再次丟出I765 Expedite Request
這次遇到好心的Officer願意給我機會 要我提供輔助文件看看
馬上請公司老闆幫忙提出一堆文件 (老闆和公司其實就甘心 希望我趕快回去幫忙)
一路Escalate到總公司 (總公司在歐洲)
兩天內拿到大大大老闆的簽名送出去給USCIS

2022/02/04 Supporting information for I-765 expedite request was submitted

2022/02/11 Request I-485 Outside normal processing time through USCIS website
as no action was taken for 60 days from previous request. Tier 2 officer
respond: We have received your service request and researched the status of
your case. We have had to perform additional review, and this has caused a
delay in processing time. Your case is currently with an adjudicating
officer. You should receive a decision or notice of further action within 60
days.
再次送出I-485 Service Request 結果60天後又要我在等60天 氣到沒感覺了

2022/02/14 I-765 Expedite Request was approved

2022/02/15 I-765 and I-131 was approved, 3rd combo EAD/AP card was received

2022/02/28 Re-hired by original company

真的感謝公司對我不離不棄 還有大大大老闆的信 在家坐了三個月 終於回去上班

2022/04/14 Request I-485 Outside normal processing time through USCIS website
as no action was taken for 60 days from previous request. (Receive no
response from USCIS)

60天後再60天 還是完全沒有回應 連我的律師都崩潰不知道如何是好

2022/04/22 USCIS send I-485 transfer notice, I-485 was transferred from TSC
to NBC

居然收到transfer notice 查了一下網上說
為了加速 USCIS要TSC把所有不在adjudicating officer桌上的CASE全部轉到NBC
等一下?!! 那你之前回覆跟我說我的case已經在adjudicating officer桌上
完完全全都在騙人!!!!

2022/06/04 Receive another I-485 RFE notice, asking for new I-693
又收到一次RFE 我快要超過極限了
我們明明 2021 11月才送了一個新的體檢RFE USCIS也顯示收到
律師表示無奈(你這錢超難賺) 推測case transfer時沒有把我之前的RFE一起送給NBC
律師要我們不要跟USCIS囉嗦 跟他們Argue沒有用
又花了一筆錢跟醫生要了之前體檢的COPY

2022/06/08 Respond to I-485 RFE with a copy of I-693 performed on 2021/10

2022/06/28 I-485 was approved

2022/07/05 Received Green Card

轉到NBC真的有加速 TSC 真的是無敵大黑洞!!!
從140 approve 後又整整等了 593天才收到綠卡

從丟出申請 整整等了三年半 周遭一堆朋友比我們晚超久丟都早早收到
等待的過程跟大家一樣真的每天再刷USCIS網站 和APP
說老實話 真的收到綠卡時 我已經完全沒多少喜悅的感覺了

最後給大家的建議是 在一切回復正常前
千千萬萬不要選擇把140 和 485 一起丟 (concurrent file)
很容易就掉進黑洞裡 怎麼也爬不出來

以上跟大家分享一下 希望還再苦苦等待的你不要放棄
