Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida
Immigration question
I have EAD, and already went to the
interview but i wasn't approved that
day because the officer needed other
documents in order to make the
decision.
As of today i still have no response
and I have a really good job offer but
Don't know if i could take it until my
situation is resolved.
I also want to go to college but am in
the same situation.

Re: Immigration question
I would need to ask you a few questions to learn more about your case in order to advise you. For example, what kind of case is it? What were you interviewed for? How long ago was the interview? What documents were requested? When were they submitted? There are other questions too. My specific advice will depend on the answers to these and other questions. It might just entail an Infopass appointment or more or just waiting a bit longer before doing something.

Re: Immigration question
Dear Inquirer:
If your work permit is based on a pending application for adjustment of status, then I suggest that you obtain an extension of your work permit. Some times the USCIS takes longer than expected to approve the green card.
Please visit our website at www.hanlonlawgroup.com for more information or email [email protected] if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.
Re: Immigration question
You really should consult an Immigration Attorney. Please send me an email if in Southern California with your contact information and we can discuss your particular facts. There is no fee for consultation.
Re: Immigration question
I am assuming, based upon the fact that you have been to an interview, that, whether you are applying through a preexisting grant of asylum, or through the typical application for a green card through either your spouse/fiance/family member or your employer with an adjustment of status, you are seeking permanent legal resident status. Since you have likely gone to the point of filing for an adjustment of status, go ahead and gain extension of time of your present EAD. It no doubt has been based upon a non-immigrant work visa, and you should maintain that until your AOS has been granted.
If you later find it is denied, then you will need to look at several possible options. To do that feel free, if you choose, to contact me at [email protected], to set up an in-person appointment.
