My husband recently filed an application to adjust status to a permanent resident which apparently takes for ever. Along with the form, we were advised that we should file another form for work authorization, so he is able to work and not have to wait until his green card is here. This is going on 2 months now, and we have yet to hear anything. He did the finger printing. He has a job lined up, but they can’t hold the position for him much longer, and since he doesn’t have a SSN or a work authorization number, they can’t hire him. It seems that we are hitting a dead end. The INS (or USCIS now) doesn’t really tell you much, and you pretty much can’t really talk to a human unless you are ON FIRE.. Their automated system tells you the same information as that on their Website and it also advises you that customer service doesn’t have any further updates (if you are lucky enough to get a hold of customer service that is). After all the paper work and money we put into this process, it seems unreal why they would ask you com complete a form so you don’t have to wait and then make you wait for that. We scream and ***** about illegal immgrants but doing things the right way, they put you through h**l... Anyone knows anything we can obtain temporarily to get this job until we hear from them. This is VERY frustrating.
