VAWA, Part 9

[Veronika691 4]

Hi everybody. I wish all of you get approve on your i-360, but unfortunately when you'll get it, it will not be the end of the story. Then you will have to wait another year or more to get interview.

My case was approved in February 17, after requests of my lawyer and info pass we found out that my i-485 is in my local office. It was in October 17. We send a new medical records, as they asked and since that - silence.

So now it's 1 year after they approved my vava, and i'm still waiting. Went to  Info pass. sent letters, my lawyer called them, the answer is: wait till we schedule interview. Not earlier than in April we'll make a decision". When it really will happen - who knows? i applied for new EAD and AP, but now it will take 5-6 months, so I can lose my job, all my id's expired and I cant  renew them, because don't have even receipts for EAD and AP. 

But in uscis they don't care about such "little" things, don't think about people. 

Anyway getting approved i-360 - it's a big success, but only half of the way.

What’s your local field office? There are certain field offices on the East and West Coast that have I-485 processing times of 10-12 months. If your case is past the processing times posted of your field office, you can make an Infopass appointment and inquire.

Strange! NY processing times say that as of December 31st 2017 they have adjudicated I-485 up to February 20th 2017. Have you tried a request to expedite?

No the senator can’t make things faster. He can only inquire the status on your behalf. 

 

Look up expedite I-485 on USCIS website. You have to write a letter stating why you are in need to have it expedited and attach all proof of your reasons. You can then either mail this to your field office or make Infopass appointment and bring it to them in person and have them look it over to make a decision.

Thank you, I'll try, but I've been already in info pass. Maybe, this time I'll be more lucky. Is there a form to fill in website?

No form just an explanation of valid reasons. You have to write your own statement. 

[Veronika691 4]

Thank you, iwillsurvive. I'll try again. In February 6 I brought them a big letter with all my reasons, signed by notary, they did not want to take it. I asked them to take it anyway, but the girl I talked to told me that they don't have to answer my letter. Is it weird? Or maybe I'm so unhappy, after all this nightmare of my marriage and hard vava time, I'm still not sure what will happen with me. But thank you anyway
