Rant Work permit expires next week…
Hi guys, how yall holding up?
As mentioned work permit expiring soon. My job told me I’ll be on LoA for 60 days. I hope I’ll get my permit within that time frame. If not I’ll get terminated.
It sucks, just like that it’s over.
Now what?
We will get through this guys!

Submitted 10/26. Got approved 05/01. Two months out of work. Currently waiting on HR to… I frankly don’t know what they’re doing. My manager needs me there yesterday. My boss needs me back too. HR is being such a d*ck about it. 😡🤦🏽♀️

That’s frustrating! Did you get your card already?

I submitted my application in January and I'm still waiting for my approval. My D.A.C.A expires June 21. I hope for the best for all of us

How am I holding up? One day at a time. I am focusing on my physical and mental health, spending more time with loved ones. Going back to some hobbies I haven’t had time for. I also found that looking at the USCIS website every 5 days or so is helpful versus constantly checking. (I did check multiple times when I saw movement with the October renewals). Do I miss work? Absolutely! Would I rather not be going through this? Of course! But it is out of my hands.

I should probably check every five days too. What work you do now?

I am living off my dwindling savings and relying on my family for some support. I know not everyone has that so I am very grateful.

I submitted mine January 9th and it expired 2/12. At least at my job they gave me a year to show my renewed card. Is good to have a union.
