VAWA Part 2

[murid2010 6]

Murid: On the 485 form, there is a question I am not sure how to answer. It is:

Have you ever applied for permanent resident status in the U.S.?

* Yes (If yes give date and place of filing and final disposition.)

* No

Since I have filed a 485 before and went to the interview to tell IO that I am filing a I360, I guess I should say Yes, but what did you put as the date and place as well as the disposition?

I intent to fill in with my old 485's receipt date and my local office's location. I will say pending for the disposition. Could you tell me how did you fill that question on your new form?

Thanks again.

Your answer should be Yes.

Date: should be the date USCIS received your application I-130/1485

Location: National Benefit Center, Missouri. (This is where all family based petition get intial processing)

How long does it take to hear from uscis about the i765? I sent my last week and did even received a reciept yet...

I filed mine June 14 and received NOA on June 17

Your answer should be Yes.

Date: should be the date USCIS received your application I-130/1485

Location: National Benefit Center, Missouri. (This is where all family based petition get intial processing)

Murid, I filled in this:

03/xx/2010; National Benefits Center, Missouri; Pending

Should I say Case Pending? My case is still showing up with a status "Acceptance" on USCIS's website. Thanks so much for your help!

Also, Murid, did you withraw your old I485? Can I still request a fee waiver if my old I485 is not withdrawn but pending?

I dont think you should put pending. Because if you do so they might not accept the new one you filing since u have one pending. I never withdrawn my old I-485, it is still pending with USCIS. Once they close your I130 that will automatically close it.

03/xx/2010, National Benefit Center, Missouri. Petition Withdrawn

Murid, Did you send a copy of the receipt notice for your old I-485?

Hi Tuckahoe8, you and I seem to be in a similar situation. I did the interview with my spouse when we applied I130/I485. The I130 was approved, which my attorney will ask the IO to substitute with the I360 tomorrow. After applying for I360 in 2010, my attorney personally went to the local office and ask for my I485 to be put in abeyance, and not adjudicated until the I360 is approved. Can you hold your I485 application for just one more day. My attorney is meeting with the IO tomorrow 8/11/11 to request my file from VSC and to find out how they will proceed with the adjudication. My lawyer told me I do not have to do another medical. I have no problem sharing with you what will be said at the infopass. The lawyer told me that if I file a new I485 based on the approved I360 with a fee waive through VSC, it usually takes 5-6 months for approval.

Blessedwoman: I went through the same process alone at local office, to get my old I-485 approved based on approved I-360. I sent an email and a written request to VSC to send my file called T-FILE, to my local office for interview. VSC sent my T-FILE to my local office after month I went back to the local and i was informed that my old I-485 is with a supervisor and in order for them to schedule me for an interview I need to file a new I-485 with VSC. Luckily my medical was still valid I went to the doctor and got a sealed copy (No charge) and send it to them. I dont know about the wait time but based on previous post from people who used their old I-485 they waited longer than those who filed a new one. May be it varies by local office. Mine is Washington DC. Keep us posted about your new info. Best of luck

Thank you for the kind reminder and information sharing. I won't be able to mail the new 485 until next week. I am looking forwarding to knowing about your infopass. Best Regards.

Blessedwomen: It seems that the only difference between us is that my I130 is never approved, my spouse never went to the interview with me. I went alone and told the officer that I am filing I360. The officer asked me to note that down on the interview sheet.
