Background information:
Eligible for TPS: Yes (was present in the U.S. before the earthquake)
Visa status: F-2 (F-1 did not apply for TPS)
September 2015: Applied for TPS and EAD at the same time
October 2015: EAD approved, TPS still pending
March 2016: Only F-2 Went to Nepal (TPS still pending, did not apply for AP)
July 2016: F-1 (still in the U.S.) got letter from USCIS - said TPS application incomplete and gave 90 days to complete
October 2016: F-2 returned back to the U.S. (no problem at the port of entry)
October 2016: Responded back to USCIS with complete application past the 90-day deadline they gave
November 2016: TPS approved
I wasn't hoping for my TPS to be approved because of two reasons:
1. I went to Nepal for about 6 months without even applying for AP
2. I responded to the letter from USCIS past the 90-day deadline they gave
But it still got approved. Now I am considering applying for the re-enrollment/extension but I'm hesitant because I feel like they might reject my application after looking at my I-94 records.
What should I do?
Second question: Can I apply for renewal of TPS only now and if that gets approved apply for EAD? That way, even if the application gets rejected, I'll lose only $85 instead of $465.
Thanks in advance!
