Hi guys, 

 

Today i received an update from USCIS stating that they have issued a RFE for my VAWA. My PD is 2nd Feb 2018.

 

So cases are moving forward. I will post an update once i receive the RFE. 

Thanks, this is very helpful to know. I haven't seen any January approvals, I would think there should be some by now.

 

Good luck with the RFE.

Not yet.

Good Morning. Would you let us know please when you get some April '17 approvals ? I'm starting to get really impatient. I'm hoping as soon as you get some, I'll get mine!

It is taking 15+ months, so April 2017 filers  should start to hear in July 2018.

Trust me, everyone would love that. It definitely prepares us to be patient in life 😃

I am going on 17 months now, waiting for my approval after submitting my RFE.

I know. Yeah I don't like this lesson 😂😂. A year was ok but now my patience is running thin! That sucks. May be we will both get it at the same time! Was it you that got the RFE at 15 months? What did they ask for? I have forgotten

Hi everyone,

 

I hit the one year mark today. USCIS received my vawa application one year ago today. Its been a long ride I'm starting to get anxious knowing that I'm almost there. Any May fillers?

Yes I received my RFE at 15 months  

the sad thing is that it might be up to a year after VAWA approval to receive the GC.

Good moral character. They asked for police clearance from the country I lived in right before moving to the US, even though I only lived there for 4.5 months. I didn’t submit it with my petition because they say they only want it from places you have lived for 6 months or more. Not sure why they asked for it. Seems like a mistake to me.

Did you submit moral character from the US with your application earlier?

how long have you lived in the US? Do they ask for where you have lived the last 3 years right?

Yes I submitted police clearance from the US and country I last lived in for more than 6 months before moving to the US. 

I have lived in the US since 2015, filed VAWA in 2016, so I submitted all clearances for 3 years prior to filing where I lived for 6+ months but I didn’t submit clearance from places where I lived less than 6 months.

I know. I'm in the same boat with the GC.  I'll only have a years worth of patience for that too! 😂😂 What the RFE - I can't remember

So from what I've read, it only takes USCIS 15-19 months to approve I360? And then you still have to wait for an interview for like a year, and then God knows how long after the interview?

This is crazy...

Waiting 15-19 months for Vawa, and if you didn't submit AOS with vawa, add 5-7 months for EAD.  I gotta get my EAD to save up to file my AOS because I need to do a waiver and the non-profit that helped me with VAWA won't do my AOS with a waiver, so I gotta save up to retain an attorney.  I'm definitely looking at more than a year of wait time...
