dEEply,

Its good to hear you again and you got your NOA for you I-485 and 765.also they waive your fee waiver.

I still didnt get any from Them coz i have a problem about my address post office cant deliver here into my mailing address I dont know what to do so i would be able to recieve mail regarding my case.

Jan 5. 2010 they touched my case to initial review as I said the mail that they sent last its undeliverable.

As this step USCIS check my history background .

I dont know what that means ,ARE THEY GONNA DENIED MY SeLf Petition or something?

Thanks

AShley

Dear Ashley,

You can better have PO BOX address which will be $24 for 6 months and they will give you 2 keys.

You mail will no longer undeliverable as this PO BOX will be in the POST OFFICE nearest to you house.

Take a PO BOX from Post office and call USCIS and update them with the new PO BOX address and also send the address to USCIS by writing letter.

Hi Everybody,

I have been out of pocket, was struggling with some family issues, and threats of my spouse. I need some help - my EAD expires in 4 months time. I was being helped by legal Aid - I had to change states. Now that I am in a different state and my EAD is about to expire - my attorneys would not help me with the renewal.

What forms would I have to fill for renewal and where do I send them - because originally everything in my case was sent to Vermont Service Center with my VAWA packet..

I filed my VAWA in May last year, got EAD within 20 days of filing with a Prima Facie. I haven't heard anything on my petition since then, no rfe's, nothing. I am kind of getting very stressed out because I don't know what to do from here.

Please advice...

Dear Gina,

I am sorry to hear about your situation. Click on the below link and you have all the EAD Renewal information and where to send the EAD application.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

You can renew 90 days before the EAD expires.

No fee is required if filing for a renewal EAD under any of these categories:

Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;

Granted Withholding of Deportation;

Deferred Enforced Departure; or,

Dependent of certain foreign government or international organization personnel.

If you are filing for a replacement EAD, and you are a dependent of certain foreign government or international organization personnel, no fee is required to file this form.

If you are filing this application concurrently with Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence, no fee is required to file this form. As of 07/30/07, if you file your Form I-765 separately, you must also submit a copy of your Form I-797C, Notice of Action, as a receipt of evidence for the filing of your I-485.

If you are filing for an extension of your Employment Authorization and your Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence, was filed before July 30, 2007, then you must pay the $340 filing fee.

Hey Gina12,

Sorry to hear that and sorry to be in this situation, my case is similar to yours, we are here to assist and console one another. First of all did you change your address to the new address you at right now, should in case they ( USCIS or Vermont Service Center ) want to sent something to you. And secondly if your EAD is related with VAWA packet that you sent i.e ( I-360, I-485 and I-765 hopefully I-131 ) and your EAD is about to expire all you have to do is to file for EAD I-765 renewal form, follow the renewal procedure/instructions and file it ASAP they should renew it for you and if you can't pay the filing fee, request for fee waiver. I think you can file it to Vermont. You should be fine if you change your address, you can move to anywhere in the USA provided you notify USCIS/Vermont of your new address. Pertaining to your I-360 petition write them and request for the status of your case and for action on your case as well. Is your Prima Facie still valid if not also request for your Prima Facie Determination Renewal/Extension. Legal Aid folks should be able to help you better. Take action and Good Luck !

Dear Gina,

As Victoryismine said, if you didn't update your address to USCIS, first change your address using AR-11 online.

Thank you Lost, Yahya and everyone here, the interview ran smoothly, it did not even take 10 minutes. I was sworn in first, then the officer asked me basic questions, e.g. my name, current address. Asked for a copy of my birth certificate, added it to my file. She said if I have a copy of my USC husband's birth certificate, I showed it to her, she looked at it but did not take it or asked for a copy. Then she said, "I believe, everything is in order, you should expect your GC in 2-3 weeks."

I truly believe that your prayers, advice and support helped me throughout this whole process, I can never thank you enough. I promise, I will never forget you and I will include all of you in my prayers.

If I could be of any help, please let me know.

Dear bubbles14la,

CONGRAGULATION !!!

I wish you all the best for your wonderful future.

congrats bubbles, its finally over I'm so happy for you and I'm happy that everything went well... Well I'm a bit nervous since you said they asked for a copy of your USC birth certificate because I don't have a copy of my USC BC. I'm very nervous about that now and I don't know what to do.

Dear LostinNJ,

I wish you ALL THE BEST for your interview on 25th Jan 2010.

Don't worry about the USC Birth Certification, each of our case are unique and different.

During the interview, I wish they won't ask you for the USC BC and if they do, explain the situation Y you r not able to have the BC and they will completely understand.

Even though I don't have the GC interview experience, Its makes sense to me to share the information and I did it now.

Ok,

I've just received a letter from USCIS, it says

"on 12/30/2009 you, or the designated representative, contacted us about your case."

and "please send your inquiry in written form with the original signature of the inquirer"

I guess that what my case touches were about. My lawyer is actually working

No touches since then.

Dear Forum Friends,

I wish you all the best to get the VAWA approval ASAP.

Give us some approval for this year.

Quick Question: What does it mean to be within processing timeline?

And what is my timeline for instance, since I filed in June 2009.

Just asking?

[bubbles14la 1]

Congratulations Bubbles, God bless you my dear, its finally over!!!! I am praying i will get through soon. How long did ur I360 take to approve???

Hi Kymber, it took 19 months, from 02/2008, approved 09/2009. Around May 2009, I was sent the RFE.

Thank you very much for all your good wishes.

LostinNJ, don't worry about the USC BC, just tell the interviewer that you were not able to obtain a copy , I'm sure because of our circumstances they will not give you a hard time.

Hi guys!

I filed a VAWA in June 2009. I have received a prima facie letter that expired on Dec. 29, 2009. The lady from the Church sent an extension beginning of December and I had a touch on Dec. 11. Since then I haven't heard anything, it's been a month and a half since we sent the letter requesting the extension, but I haven't received it yet.

You guys have more experience, how long does it take for the extension of the prima facie to arrive? It's my first extension and I know that the process is gonna take a long time still, but I was just curious...

Can you help me?
