Fastest in 27 days
Five work permits tracked one by one
Following Up on Delayed Work Permits
Background
A group of work permit (I-765) and advance parole (I-131) applications, covering different situations: citizens filing for parents, green card holders filing for spouses and children, and citizens filing for spouses.
Challenges
Even when family members file together, their cases can move at different speeds, and delays in children's work permits can affect health insurance and school enrollment.
Strategy
We kept pressing on delayed cases by phone, email, and e-Request.
Outcome
The fastest work permit was approved in just 27 days, and the slowest was approved after persistent follow-up.
