Hi Sandra, would you care to share their receipt dates? 

 

I don't understand why people come here to share their timelines but disappear when they get approved or denied. It helps others who are waiting just like other people's approval times helped you also. We are all waiting on pins and needles.

The  cases approved were filed in July and August  2016,and one case from May 2016. All cases didn't receive any request of evidence. 

Hi @sandranj, 

thank you for all your help. God bless you.

may I ask if we received RFE, how does it affect our timeline for VAWA? Does it make it prolonged? Thanks

If you  receive and RFE, usually you have 87 days to answer, and you  take  2 months to answer then your Vawa will take two extra months to be adjudicated.

I have a question about reaching out to Congressman to check on case status? Do they reach out specifically to Vermont or the general USCIS. I asked my congressman to reach out for status of my i-360 and he just came back with the same answer that I got when I called general 1800, they are still processing, we sent you a prima facie extension and you have until the date on the renewal to wait, which means that they are saying I have to wait a year for processing since its prima facie is 6 months?

The Congressman office contacts directly to Vermont. If they give you the same answer with USCIS customer service, that means no decision has been made yet.

Thats what happened to me, too before I got approved.
