Hello Sandra,thanks a lot for all your help and answers to our questions!Please i’m Very worried right now!Please I need you to clarify this,Some members here said that if you file only 1-360 it will take like two years for USCIS to respond to your case is that true?I was told that if you spouse is a is Lpr you can only file for 1-360 so does it mean they will keep my case aside??and other members says that if you over stayed in US and ur visa expired they will not approve or take long to answer your case!please I know you are an experienced lawyer tell us if all this is true!thanks a lot for understanding!Gid bless you!

The I-360 processing timeline is the same for every petitioner, no matter if spouse was USC or LPR or whether they are here legally or illegally or whether they file AOS at the same time. The difference is the processing of AOS afterwards. If you file concurrently, AOS will be faster since the process is seamless and they transfer I-485 automatically. If you take time in between I-360 approval and filing I-485 or have to wait for a priority date to become available, it can take a little longer. 

But all I-360 petitions are adjudicated on first come first served basis at VSC.

Following is my Timeline: 

Arrived on K-1 visa, got married within 90 days and filed for I-485, I-765, I-131 around the end of September 2015. Received notices within couple of days. 

 

Got EAD and Advance Parole combo card in first week of December 2015.

 

USCIS sent out the interview notice for the I-485 through marriage in July, 2016. Interview was in August 2016. Asked the immigration officer to put my case on hold because I was going to file for I-360 soon. 

 

**09/15/2016: filed the Forms I-360, I-485, I-765 with Vermont service center through an attorney from a domestic violence Shelter. (I was married to a US citizen at the time VAWA was filed). Got notices within 3 weeks. 

My case was filed with: self affidavit of around 15 pages, containing courtship, marriage and abuse in details and with dates, weddings pics, pics of my spouse and I together, lease agreement in both of our names , utility bills, phone bill, joint bank account statements, joint tax return. 

Had a letter from the shelter counselor and few pictures of bruises that I took after my spouse had beaten me up. A friend wrote their affidavit as to what they knew about the marriage and abuse. That affidavit was notarized. 

I had no money to attend therapy with a psychiatrist or means to even travel to attend a free one. 

**EAD received after couple of months. 

**Long silence and No RFE’s. 

**10/11/2017 I received an email and texts from USCIS about Case update. 

Case approved on 10/05/2017. (Took a while to get an online update I guess).

** 10/15/2017 received email and text notifications that my I-485 (concurrently filed with I-360) was transferred to my Local office.  

** 01/21/2018 Received notice for I-485 interview at my local office in NY. Interview scheduled for morning of 02/27/2018. 

Did Medical exam and got form I-693 sealed in an envelope from the doctor. I DID NOT get any RFE for medical, neither did the Interview notice asked to bring an updated medical exam. My first medical feed with I-485 based on marriage had  expired in 2016. 

** Interview on 02/27/2018. Was asked Yes/No or security questions from I-485 and was told to wait for decision for couple of weeks. 

** Got texts and email updates yesterday that Green Card is being produced and will get it in mail soon.
