hi @Optimistic1986. I see you filed your 360 on 09/18. Can you recall after how many weeks did they send you biometrics  appointment request ? thanks

Hello @melissa.w that’s my biometrics appointment under C31 exactly a month and a day from the received date. I’m from NY. What state are you from?

I'm from NY too, NYC. they just received my C09 - 05/14; and never told me if they'll use my old biometrics, or  they need new. That's why I wanted to know when exactly did you get appointment notice. thank you.

How long does it take to get rfe in mail after the app says it’s been mailed? Anybody available to help?

Thanks for your thoughtful gesture. It’s such a relief to know that someone out there cares. I will let you know the moment I hear something 

It takes average 17-24 months to get approve seldom about 33 months the longest! 

Interview 4-12 months average 7-10 months

Congratulations on your C09! No problem. Can you share your timeline please?

Thank you for the information.

It's weird because I have only filed for I360. No EAD or I485 involved. I guess I will just have to wait and see.

There is an option to ask if you want to obtain work permit after i360 approval, known as EAD c31. So still needs biometrics.

That makes a lot sense.

Thanks for telling me that.

Hi

I applied for VAWA in August 2018

 

I will be using my Advance Travel parole document in August this year (going back home to visit after 4.5 years) but I was wondering the following- my EAD combo card has the last name that I took from my abusive husband and my passport has my maiden name.

 

Would it be a problem if I travel and I have a different name in my passport and my EAD?

 

thanks

Did you request for a change of name when you filed your divorce, if you did and your divorce is finalized, then I’ll suggest you take your court order with you when leaving back to your country

good evening VJ family, i have one question and please if anyone knows something or is going tru the same please share. 

 

My question is i just submitted my request for evidence but my biggest concern is that in 2018 i got a criminal citation it was for a metro fair i mean when i used the metro my car didn't register for some reason and i got stoped and got a ticket a citation for a metro fair. When i was stoped i said i have money i can pay the fair and i apologies that for some reason my card didn't register but they didn't let me so when i went to court i paid the penalty  it was 25$and nothing happen even the judge laughs and looked at the officer like really why didn't you let him pay and now you are waisting my time  waisting. And that was in 2018 the beginning of 2019 like 4 months before receiving my first RFE, the weird thing is that even after my lawyer requested the additional FBI background investigation it came back and it said that i have no criminal background no convictions and no arrests, in other words the citation didn't show on the FBI background check???

 

But when we submitted my RFE i wrote a affidavit explaining the incident with the metro card and included the FBI background check that say i have never been arrested or committed any crime, and my police clearance  from hoe that says  the same no arrests no crime and no prison. 

 

And now i'm so scared that my VAWA petition will be denied because of that metro fair citation, please if someone can tell me is that a possibility or a reason for denial i have nothing else no crime no arrests but i'm so scared  now.

 

Once again i apologies for this post but i hope that someone can give me an advice because if i get deported, because of that citation i have nowhere else to go.  

 

Citation is not an arrest. The case was dismissed since you paid the fine. And moreover traffic related offenses excluding DUI / DWI does not count as a crime of moral turpitude.
