Thanks anxious!!

Give us free, u should write a letter. That's what I did, after to months I got my approval!

Thanks inpeace I will do that right away. Is just a few lines requesting the extension?

Does anyone know if I should expect a transfer notice about my i485 email said they send one but my lawyer didn't receive it don't know if they actually did bcaz the approval was mailed on the eight and we got it on the 12th don't know if the message was generic?

does someboy know if you have to renew the prima facie letter even if you are not receiving help from government I applied for VAWA june 2011 and the letter expires 12/25 thanks

HOPE12,

If you are not receiving help from Government, then it's upto you if you want to renew it or not. Mine expired in September 2011 and I've not renewed it. But again, it's upto you.

does someboy know if you have to renew the prima facie letter even if you are not receiving help from government I applied for VAWA june 2011 and the letter expires 12/25 thanks

Hello giveusfree, I did not request a prima facie, my attorney did everything for me and I think she requested for me. But if you look in your first prima facie notice you will see the address and instructions.

you have to send a copy of your first prima facie along with a written request for an extension. I hope this help. I can give you the address that appears in mine but it may not be the correct one for you .

It says send your written request to :

UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES

VERMONT SERVICE CENTER

75 LOWER WELDEN STREET

ST. ALBANS, VT 05479

Hi Anxious,

How did you request a prima facie extension? I tried to call them but I was told I couldn`t do it over the phone

[inpeace 5]

Hope 12 is not necessary but I think u should renew it. I feel like people that renew it got an answer fast!

I'm keeping my fingers cross for you guys if I see one approval a week I'll be happy I know what it feels like to wait well I'm still waiting only this time it's for interview notice anyway try calling them they wont tell you a thing but at least they make a note of it.

Ok,i've called to ask why i didn't get any fingerprint notice-she checked my info & said it was odd not to have had any biometrics done yet,the officer asked me to tell my attorney to call to schedule one b4 the interview date and that she will make a note to say i don't have any biometrics done yet.Although she said i should wait for the letter they sent that it might actually be for the fingerprinting and not interview....i'm just tired of the wait.If i don't act now, i don't think these attorneys work fast enof b/c they don't know what we r going thru.I'm actually doing their job for them.

After that,i called to check on the i-360 status and the lady started to read what was online,i told her i already know that i just wanted to say my case is past the processing time,i sent in RFE in july & my online status was updated in Aug and they said they will make a decision in 60days & in Oct they sent me a Prima facie and they said they will make a decision in 60days again.60+60=120 days which will actually elapse this weekend.Point is how long do i have to wait again?She asked for the receipt# which i gave and then said to wait & then transferred me to another lady who then asked me to spell out my last name & then collected the receipt # again.Then after a while, she then said "I'm sorry u have to wait this long but due to the nature of this case,i cannot give you any info over the phone b/c VAWA cases are sealed & confidential, but you can send in a written request or you can ask your attorney to do that".So,that was it for me today.

So my 2nd 60days ends this weekend,so i'm going to send email to both VSC & USCIS service headqtrs.My attorney said she will get back to me early next week,i guess she too wants to wait out the 60days b4 making any further inquiries.

I don't know how they ever schedule me for an interview w/o no vawa letter or fingerprints.
