What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
i have a valid EAD and i have been drawing umemployment benefits intermittantly for the past 15 months (all in 24 weeks of payments) after getting laid off early 2008. i recently heard if i keep drawing benefits, it may result in non-approval of Green Card. I have read legal opinion that drawing unemployment benefit should not matter at the time of GC approval. However, i think it would be better to be safe.
my question is - can i send a letter to the Dept of Labor, NY State along with a check of the entire amount that i have drawn mentioning the above reason? Will they accept it? also, once they accept it, can they do reverse entry in my account?
please advise.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
