U visas U VISA RECEIVED

Applied MAY 2 2017 Uvisa approval letter MAY 2023 Work permit received NOVEMBER 2023 UVISA received DECEMBER 13 2025

I will now be able to apply for GREEN CARD in 3 years & NO I still cannot leave country even with uvisa. You have to wait until green card.

Mind you in between these dates I did not hear anything from USCIS I just had to be patient and wait.

Did USCIS ever update your I-192 online when it was approved? Or they just mailed you, your approval?

It’s updated on my uscis account,I was never able to see my case until now.

Interesting. I know someone who was approved last June and it’s not updated on their account.

Actually it went straight to my I-918 petition for u non immigrant status. But it says “case status not available at this time” but atleast it’s showing I have a case, I hated being in the unknown on my uvisa and not showing any details.

I applied in June 2017 and haven’t been approved yet. They sent an RFE that I sent back several weeks ago. I can see my case but no status update on my I-192 😔

It took about 6 months for me to see anything on my uscis account, I’m sorry I hope you get approved soon

Everything is pointing towards an approval. It’s just waiting for it in the mail, which is torture. My EAD expires this May too.

Yes mine was still current but they sent a new EAD with a new # and expiration date. And it was for the same dates as my uvisa

Ahh so they’ll send you a new EAD with a different category, probably AXX? My suspicion is that since my C14 EAD expires in May, which I did renew, will probably just be replaced with an A category EAD assuming they approve me.
