I485 yes/no 所有問題面試完給了我們一張單子，說2到4週會有面試結果，但是我們離開半小時就收到Status Update成New Card Is Being Produced，一週後就收到綠卡了，算是效率蠻高的XD ========================================================================== [EAD 加急] 當初我老婆的combo card比我這個主申請人還早下來，明明就是一起送出申請，我卻遲遲沒被approve。因為當時OPT快要過期了，很著急地想盡辦法想讓他快點下來，於是就聯繫了我轄區內的congresswoman還有加州的兩個senator。很多人問說要怎麼找，這邊提供一點心得。 Congressman/Congresswoman 基本上你要上網用你的zipcode去查，看管你轄區的是誰。 Senator就比較簡單，直接Google你的州名和Senator就可以，一個州只會有兩個Senator。找到後就去他們的官網上找他們的聯絡方式，基本上都會有個移民專區，告訴你怎麼聯繫他們。我遇到的都是線上填個問券，然後留你的email，他們過幾天會回覆你。幾本上議員本人不會自己回覆你，都是底下的工作人員跟你聯繫。他們會寄給你一張表，你填完要簽名再傳回去給他們。然後他們就會幫你打電話給移民局幫你「關切」一下。除了聯絡議員，你也可以打給USCIS自己加急，但是電話要等很久，我打了幾次都等了40幾分鐘才接通。自己加急的話要跟接線員說明加急的理由，理由不能自己亂掰， USCIS官網上有列出4種他們接受的理由： 1. Severe financial loss to a company or person, provided that the need for urgent action is not the result of the petitioner's or applicant's failure to: - File the benefit request or the expedite request in a reasonable time frame, or - Respond to any requests for additional evidence in a reasonably timely manner; 2. Urgent humanitarian reasons; 3. Compelling U.S. government interests (such as urgent cases for the Department of Defense or DHS, or other public safety or national security interests); or 4. Clear USCIS error. 大家打電話前先看清楚是否自己的情況符合上面任何一條，不然可能會被接線員打槍，這樣就浪費很多時間了。 ========================================================================== [後記] 最後，我想感謝移民板的資訊還有熱心回答問題的板主，祝大家一切順利 :) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 24.4.201.90 (美國) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Immigration/M.1563064720.A.B08.html
