•  

• Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction

  On September 13, 2017, we transferred your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status,  to another USCIS office. That office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a notice that explains why we moved your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by October 13, 2017, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

 

If you VAWA was approved a few weeks ago then they transferred the VAWA case to NBC

@sandraj

 

I filed I-485 by myself. 

Pretty much everything I did by myself since the first petitioner was gone.

 

Also I am curious. I received EAD without finger print. Is that normal?

 

Since my I-485 filed on 08/15/17. I still have not received biometric appointment. Does it take that long?

 

Thank you!

They will transfer your VAWA petition to NVC within 45 days and the NBC will ship your case to the local office, and the local office will set up the AOS interview. It  will take 6/9 months to have the interview schedulled.If you are in NYC  the local office is taking almost 9 months  to schedule an interview.

Please advise!

 

My son has been abused in 11/2015. I had to quit my job since then to take care of him.

The lady from shelter advised me to contact the charity organization to do my paper.

I had the first petitioner file all my papers.

 

So I filed I-360 and I-765 in 02/2016, I-612 in 03/2016. (I picked up all original reciepts from my first petitioner)

 

07/2016 I sent RFE (I didn't see my first petitioner at the charity. All I know she has no longer working there, so I called the new person as a second petitioner, even I have never seen her at that moment but her assistant)

 

09/09/2016 I-360 approved

 

Couple weeks after I got an email notice. I went to see my second petitioner to get my notice as always. She seem like she didn't want to see me but she gave me a copy of Approval Notice. I asked her that I should get the original notice, she said I should receive it in my mail soon. So I been waiting until I moved to the new address. I noticed my petitioner and USCIS that the address has changed.

 

After that I was busy due to my son's threatment and such. 

 

12/09/16 I called my second petitioner that I should get my EAD since my I-360 has been approved and more than 90 days. She told me to be patient and wait until I get it. (My son got better and I really need to go back to work)

 

12/12/16 I sent SR for I-765. 12/13/16 My SR has received. 12/15/16 My EAD has been approved and sent it out on 12/19/16. I picked up my card from her assistant again on 12/26/16.

 

03/2017 I called her again for my I-612 because it's been on hold for 1 year. And again she told me to wait and she cannot do anything.

 

From this moment I moved to another state because we need to start our new life. I didn't notice her but I mailed AR-11 to USCIS.

 

So I contacted USCIS and DOS. I find out there were something wrong and missing. So I sent out all paperwork for the waiver on 06/01/2017. It approved on 06/16/2017. I recieved the approval notice in my new address.

 

07/31/2017 I filed I-485.

 

I just realized that I still don't have an original I-360 approval. I drove back to see her and ask if I could get the original that she has, so I can have it if I have an interview soon but her assistant said she does not have it. I really don't understand how can she gave me a copy then.

 

08/11/2017 I sent SR that I did not receive I-360 approval notice. 08/23/17 They sent a respond and 08/24/27 SR was completed. I still get nothing until now.
 

09/06/17 I called USCIS becouse I don't know how did they respond, like they will send the new one, if so, where they are going to send?

The representative didn't help me at all. She told me to give them sometime and call back later. (???)

 

09/11/17 I called again. The representative said I need my petitioner to contact them.

What should I do? She is no longer to do my case any more since I moved to another state. Also from my experience, I believe she will never do anything.

 

 

Please give me an advise what should I do?

The NBC verifies that all information they need is there and if it is, they transfer it to your local office, which then takes about 6-9 months until they adjudicate your i-485.

Hi @sandranj and everyone!

 I'm in need of your help because I'm in a confusing situation. About my EAD. My EAD based on I-485 was approved but during divorce I changed my name back to my maiden name. So currently my EAD has my marriage surname instead of my maiden name. In order to change it USCIS said I need to apply for a new one. Does that mean my i765 based on i485 that I applied is wasted? my I485 is on hold. Do I apply for EAD based on pending VAWA? Or do I wait for VAWA decision? My ex was us citizen. Please advise 

thank you

You can file for divorce at any time even before VAWA is approved.
