congrat for you honst you can get a good job now

Dear yahya54,

Thank you. I started trying for the job now.

Dear Lost: are you sure you believe the more the take the approval the better. In other words no news is a good news

Dear twototango,

The processing time is almost 14 months as of now. that's the reason it takes more months. In other words we can say they (USCIS) have enough evidence that we are going through a hard time with our spouse and they will first establish the PRIMA FACIE and they(USCIS) process according to the filing date which is almost 14 months as of today. In some cases they do consider the expedite and they will adjucate the case sooner.

When you filed for VAWA or your planning to file or helping others?

My I-360 took 20 months to be approved, it was filed February, 2008. No news is definitely good news, I know you get impatient, I was there so I know the feeling of not hearing anything but most of the cases I've seen, the one's pending longer gets approved. They send me an RFE 17 months after my case was filed, when I sent back the RFE I was approved in 3 weeks.

Dear twototango,

The processing time as of August 31st 2009 for the VERMONT SERVICE CENTER for VAWA : processing 29th july 2008.

If you file your VAWA through an attorney as him/her to request letter to adjucate your case. If you filed by yourself write a letter to USCIS to adjucate you case and mentioned that your case is behind the processing time and also mention that you didn't receive any response so for.

My I-485 was touched today, I called USCIS to find out how long it takes to get biometrics appointment. She told me my file is currently at my local office, it was transferred on Monday and I should receive the biometrics appointment within the coming weeks. I also asked her if it was standard for I-485 to be transferred from NBC to local office, she said it is, I for some reason thought NBC usually sends out the bio appointment and interview notice. Processing time for I-485 at my local office is May, 2009, I filed I-485 July, 2009

Wow that was fast. Mine is still at NBC and I was approved before you. What are they doing with my file????

I'm as surprised as you are, didn't expect my file to be transferred to local office this fast.

Dear Konjo,

You filed your I-485 along with I-360 but lostinNJ filed in July 2009. There might be a few days or couple of weeks difference to move the case from Vermont to NBC as you filed on March 2008 and lostinNJ file in July 2009. Just a guess. no one knows, how exactly the USCIS processing goes because each case is unique in its own way.

Best wishes to get your GC ASAP

I filed the I-485 they are looking at on August 4th 2009. That is what everything they do on my case should be based on. But like we all know.. there is no rhyme or reason for anything these pple do.

Processing time for I-485 is based on local field office.. My local filed office is currently processing cases filed May, 2009

That's correct, once the I-485 is moved from Vermont Service Center to Local office, its really matters depends upon the volume of cases pending in the local office and number of employee in that particular office.

You can write a letter if you want to move from one office to another but in general its not a good idea as the transfer case from one office to another makes more delay

They are processing May 3rd, 2009 at my local office. I guess I'll just wait. The hard part is already over.
