Tomorrow we are entering March. Can't believe two months have passed for 2018. After quiet January and February, wish we will have a lot of approvals in March.

Arrrgghh, I know.  They got my response to their RFE about a month ago, it was the easiest RFE ever and they are taking over a month to make a decision? It's super frustrating. 

 

Will be hitting 16 months here. :dead:

I have a question regarding I-485 process. 

 

Once VAWA is approved, it gets send to the NBC and then to the local office. 

 

1. Is the local office the one closest to home address or to safe mailing address (attorney’s address)? 

 

2. If the field office by attorney has shorter I-485 processing times than field office by home address, can I request to have it sent there?

 

3. For I-485 timeline, do they use VAWA approval date to count from? I assume they don’t use original receipt date because then we would all be overdue by the time it gets to local field office (when having filed concurrently).

 

4. If I move to a different area with faster field office processing times for I-485 before my VAWA is approved (and do a change of address), will they just send it to the field office closest to my new home address? Can there be a delay in processing at all if I do all this before VAWA approval? 

 

5. Could I just open a mailbox in a different field office area and change my address to that? I know many people that use mailbox address on their driver’s license etc. Does this work or will USCIS not accept this? Technically it looks like a real address, so would they even know it is a UPS mailbox?

 

@sandranj & all others, thank you!

I agree. Don't want to live with anxiety and uncertainty, and just want to get this over.
