hey Lucy

i dont want to bother them, that's why i did not call, i prefer to wait, i applied for work permit , it was approved on 31 august, send it on september 2nd and i never got it, reason.....usps lost my envelope...i call uscis national center and they put me to apply for replacement...that's mean to pay 380 dollars, i applied and i will go for fingers prints next week, but it is the first time after 2 years asking me for fingers print, they always aproved my work permit without fingers prints

regarding the fingers print for I485 we will do it after we will get the I360 aproval , never before

good luck and let me know if you get any news

is good to wait, at least you got the I360 approved that is the most important, i either know what is mean to wait and wait, we need to have passion, you almost got the papers, 4 months plus or minus after all this i guess is nothing

Lucy, are you trying to link your old I 485 or did you apply for a new one?

You do not need to wait for vawa approval to apply for 485, they can be filed Concurrently...

if you haven't filed yet you will have to wait 4/5 months for the i485 interview...

Hello Julieta ,you dont have to pay another $380 for a lost EAD .Also if you had filed i-485 concurrently with i-765 you aint supposed to pay for i-765.Something similar happend to my EAD .USCIS told me to re-apply for a new one but never paid ,but it will take another 3 months processing time.Its like starting all over again.

Lucymiss you need to contact USCIS so they can schedule appointment for your biometrics.

Impeace have you heard anything about your case since requesting extension of prima facie.Hang in there you will be approved soon ,you have come a long way and all the best.

Hi everyone let me share with all of u what's going on with my vawa case.. I filed march 24 2011 got I -797 NOTHING else until now... I have done everything they told me to do when I have called.. Infopass no information ..write a letter inquiry about my case... last thing I did Service request still waiting ..they told me to wait 15 days, gave me a number for the service ... Help please it's been 7 moths already

[inpeace 5]

Hey ladyg, no news yet... Thank you so much for your positive words!

Lucy- contact uscis asap. Is NOT good to wait, specially now that your vawa was approved. If you applied concurrently you should have done the fingerprints a while ago....

Ssisi not to disappoint you but I applied dec last year and still waiting... Vawa times differ a lot! You have to be patient... Good luck!

I went to interview myself this week. After waiting for more than an hour, I was called. The officer in charge asked for marriage license, divorce filing, order of protection, birth cert, I-94. Then the officer asked questions on 485 then form. Then comes “Yes/No” questions. In the end, the officer hand me a sheet which has the following item checked:

"Your case is being held for file review in order to prepare a decision. You will be advised by mail as to a decision on your application. No additional information is necessary from you at this time, however, if upon further review, additional information or evidence is required, you will receive a notice in mail. Please respond to any request in a timely manner. Failure to do so will result in denial of your application. Please allow 60 days from today's date before making an inquiry on your case."

The officer didn’t tell me whether I am approved/or not approved but told me that I should get correspondence in the mail in less than 60 days.

I am hoping for the best, after what I have been through. If anyone know whether this is an approval, or receive the same thing after the interview, let me know. Good luck everyone. Thanks.

Tuckhoe8 I hope you doing good ,dont despair it shall be well.I have read on VJ but cant remember which forum different people where told and given the same letter but ended up being approved within days and some the same day later after interview.From what I have read most IO who gives such letters may be waiting on thier supervisors to give them authority to approve.Some IO from what I have read no nothing about VAWA.

Thanks. Ladyg. the officer took my original I-94. don't know why though. also I was stressed because the officer asked about "what happened". Well I-360 is approved so the same question should not be asked again. All the best.
