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.

I  asked my  congressperson.. it did nothing for me!

No, call the Senator’s office. I was told by a lawyer to do just that, and I know it helped. God sends people to give you the information you need.

Hi Everyone, below is my timeline so far:
 
25 July 2016: Submitted EAD renewal application 
 
2   Aug 2106: Filed for divorce 
 
16 Aug 2016: Abusive spouse withdrew petition, email notifications. 
 
23 Aug 2016: Decision  Notice in mail, with option to appeal or leave country.
 
14 Sep 2106: Mailed I360, I485, I765
 
19 Sep 2016: Receipt notice- I360 fee waived 
 
23 Sep 2016: Receipt in mail, along with     original documents for I485, I765 (insufficient fees). I thought the single I912 was good for all the applications.
 
27 Sep 2016: Prima Facie letter 
 
15 Oct 2016: EAD expired, last day at work 

 20 Oct 2016: Decision notice - declined EAD (filed before divorce).
 
19 Jan 2017: resubmitted I485, I765, I131, with new medical results and respective fee waiver forms.
 
23 Jan 2017: Fees waived on all applications (saw this after I received physical notice with receipt numbers)
 
02 Feb 2017: Receipt notices in mail. 
 
01 March 2017: We ordered your new card

03 March 2017: Notice received in mail

06 March 2017: We mailed your new card.

08 March 2017: Card received.

25 March 2017: Notice of Action - Biometrics 

01 April 2017: Biometrics appointment letter received in mail. 

Since then, I have sent applications for Prima Facie extension. 

 

Nov 2017 : RFE, Good moral character, background check from country. I wasn’t in the US 3yrs when I filed VAWA.

 

Jan 10, 2018: Sent RFE response, along with Prima Facie Extension application. (I didn’t think to apply for EAD renewal at the time...not good...I didn’t understand it wasn’t based on a valid Prima Facie, but a pending I-485)

 

Jan 11, 2018: Notice Of RFE receipt

 

Feb 20, 2018: Realized my mistake with my EAD, quickly sent in application, with letter asking it be expedited. 

 

Feb 20, 2018: Contacted Senator’s Office for assistance. 

 

Feb 28, 2018: Update On I-360 case....”Initial Review”. It said they received correspondence. I suppose they were contacted by the Senator’s office....because I already received notice when I responded to RFE for background check. Plus, the I-360 wouldn’t update because of the receiving my EAD renewal application, right? 


Feb 28, 2018: All my documents expired. I am now out of a job...no one to blame but myself. I just pray I get my new EAD soon. 

 

Mar 10, 2018: Notice: Fees waived for I-765

 

Mar 12, 2018: I-360 Petition Approval Notice!!! (Official approval date Feb 1, 2018).

 

Praise be to God!!!! 

 

I will update whenever I receive something else. I hope my timeline helps someone, as much as the information I've researched online, as helped me. 

 

Contact your Senator’s office. I really think it helped. 
 

Can you say what exactly you asked your senator help with ? 

My congressman wasn't much help when I went there

Hi Nicola2017, I called and they transferred me to the Senator’s aid in charge of immigration issues. I spoke to him about my work permit which would expire soon and my vawa petition, which I submitted Sept 2016. He email me a privacy waiver and I signed and faxed to him. Within a week he sent me another email saying USCIS is asking for me to sign an additional waiver, because of the nature of my case (VAWA). I resent it the next day, and he sent it off, then he sent me an email saying that he did. I contacted the Senator’s office on the 20th, I received my EAD notice on the 5th, I-360 approval was on Feb 1st, 2018 (I didn’t get a notice or anything). I think the sent the notice again because of help from the Senator’s office.

Hi Guys, I didn’t ask them to hold my I-485 in abeyance, but they did so automatically. The question I have is this: is this the standard letter sent for I-360 approval?

———————————————-

My letter states:

 

The above petition has been approved.

 

You will be notified separately when a decision is reached on your pending adjustment of status application. 

 

———————————————-

 

The second line has me somewhat confused: Does it mean they will just make a decision on my I-485 without interviewing me, or am I misunderstanding? @sandranj Please help me if you can. I’m over the moon about my vawa approval, and this would just be too amazing!

Did you check your online case status? Has it been updated to the status of approval?

No, it hasn’t. I received two notices: one for EAD renewal, and I-360 approval, but no online update, email or text update.

Thank you. Based on your experience, the online update is not always reliable. The notice USCIS sent might get lost. So it is better to inquire through senators or do an infopass if your case has exceeded their processing time.

Hello Everyone,

I got the 5th Prima Facie this weekend, I am disappointed it's on the 16th month which is almost triple the time I originally anticipated, but I am still hopeful and praying for good news soon for all of us.

 

 

 

 

Hey Gramercy, did you request the Prima Facie? Or they just sent it to you?

It is normal.  USCIS is processing cases filed in November and December, 2016. Yours was filed in March 2017, so you probably won't hear anything until July, 2018 or even fall, 2018. 

 

It is great that you have got your work permit. Just focus on your work and come back a few months later.
