Where is My Combo Card? - Signature Immigration Forms Info

 


Where is my Combo Card?  USCIS is Decoupling Work Permits and Advance Paroles.

Over the last few days, a few of our Adjustment of Status Clients received approved employment authorization documents (EADs) that do not include advance parole (AP) travel authorization, even though we properly requested both benefits. In the past, when an applicant requested both an EAD and AP, USCIS had previously been issuing “combination cards” or “combo cards” that included both the employment and travel authorization in one document.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has been advised by USCIS that the processing change is intentional as the agency is working through the EAD backlog and is prioritizing EAD adjudication as it seeks to avoid applicants experiencing a lapse or prolonged lapse in employment authorization. AP requests will be adjudicated separately.

2022 HHS Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support || Signature Immigration Forms

Image
  USCIS published its 2022 HHS Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support. These figures, which are updated annually, are critically important to any U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident who is sponsoring a family member (spouse, parent, child, brother, or sister) for a green card. As part of the application process, the Petitioner/Sponsor will need to complete an Affidavit of Support, on USCIS Form I-864, on the immigrant's behalf. The legal purpose of this Affidavit is to prove that, according to the numbers set forth within the U.S. Poverty Guidelines, the U.S. Petitioner/Sponsor's household income is high enough to support the immigrating family members at 125% or more of U.S. poverty line levels, after taking into account anyone already living with or dependent on the U.S. Petitioner/Sponsor.
