Sandranj,Thank you very much for answering my questions. I received and read it. I sent response and some more questions on there too. I will post my timeline and hoping that you and somebody can advice me about what are the next step to do. Im only doing it myself because I don't have any income to use to get a lawyer. Any advice would help. I'm praying that this will over soon with a good result. I'm so thankful for you Sandra and for the members who have any ideas and advice with the same situation as mine would be glad and apprecaite your advices.

Thanks Sandra that's where she said it went with overnite delivery & fee waiver app, June 6th

and there was a delivery confirmation, But I don't know much in this area I told her they may

be a little backlogged since she got no receipt yet

Hello everyone,.I'm so worry because I applied I-485 twice. Here is my timeline,is there somebody that had a case like mine? Your advice would greatly appreciated.

12/09/13- US entry as K1 fiancee

03/08/14- married my US citizen fiancee

09/21/14- filed I-485

11/16/14- biometrics appointment was set but I was unable to go because I left my abusive husband.

12/19/14- filed 1-360 vawa self petition

01/02/15- NOA fee waived

01/05/15- received RFE bonafied marriage

02/17/15- sent Evidence

04/13/15-received Prima Facie Case

06/26/15- applied I-485,i765,i-912 to Vermont service center

07/07/15- received NOA for I-485, receipt notice says Fee Previously collected. Section:Adjustment as direct beneficiary of Immigrant petition. What does it mean?

- also received NOA receipt for i765,says fee waived.

My question is about my i485, I checkex the status online from my first i485,it says they suspended it because they need for information from me. They mailed the notice to my husbands address. I just able to change my address online yesterday following the instruction base on the noticed.

Can anyone advice me what to do about my I-485? I filed 2 application. First was when I was with my abusive husband. Second is the one under VAWA. What should I do? Do I have to withdraw the first i-485? Or the second one? My VAWA is still under Prima Facie and waiting for the approval. Please shed a light.

Missymd,

I recommend doing an infopass if you want to speak to someone asap, hopefully you get nice patient officer to help you check what the delay is all about. take care

hey mamaof3 did u hear anything yet about your new interview?.........

[Sandra G. 5,045]

I have something very interesting to tell you folks, one of the girls here that I handled her VAWA and AOS had her GC approved yesterday WITHOUT INTERVIEW! I read today " On xxx we registered your permanent resident status and mailed your Welcome Notice. Your new permanent RESIDENT card should arrive by xxxxx"

[coolbeans 2]

Nice one Sandra, nice the still do these.

[Hypnos 6,576]

Very interesting. I wonder if that's some kind of policy change.

Very interesting. I wonder if that's some kind of policy change.

Like I stated somewhere before we only know what we know by either from our own personal experience or from the experience of others, who volunteer to share in the forum. I don't know if it is a matter of policy to have every Vawa petitioner interviewed, but what I do know is that there's always an exception to every rule. If a case is convincingly beyond any iota of doubts what is the need to waste time scheduling and organizing interview if I may ask you? Edited July 22, 2015 by onye uwaoma
