What is the current months of approval? The last time was 14th February on this platform. For going to 3 months now, no current last date of updates on my application. Is there anyone having this kind of experience. Almost 16 months no rfe. Pray for speedy approval for all. It’s not easy journey but God is able @Stillwinning!!!😊 @FridayGirl@69 @sandraj

You should be good by the grace of Good. No RFE is a good sign :-)

Hi everyone!

I just heard from my attorney that the fee waiver for my I-485 was rejected. Is it a bad sign? 😭😭😭

No. submit it again with fee attached. i360 is free but there is a filing fee of i485 and i765 and i131 is included in it. or may be your attorney did not added details why you want a fee waiver

Hello everyone, I have yet to file VAWA. I’m still attending my therapy, going to my 6th session tomorrow. Today I checked the status of the I-485 that was submitted by my husband. It says that an interview was scheduled... I don’t know what to do. 

it will be okay, you can file a vawa before your i485 interview and attach your pending i485 receipt with your vawa application. they should adjust your i485 so you do not need to submit another i485.

@Stillwinning!!!😊 i hope i am correct

My congressman and senator both sent my EAD expedite request to USCIS/VCS already now waiting for a response from them. Finger crossed! Pray for me family

You are correct but in this case the interview is already scheduled..so it will depend on how fast the petition can be filed and receipt gotten before the set interview date....the chances be looking kinda slim😏💁either ways she has to attend the interview and somehow convince the officer to hold it..with intent to file the i360 petition ASAP..who knows...miracles do happen!😊

So finally my time came. I’ve been a silent follower since I posted about my case last year. Last week Tuesday My status for I360 changed to ‘card in production’. Today my lawyer informed me he just received my ead card (c31). I already have an ead (c9) which I have renewed before and is still valid. My lawyer says it looks like my case has been approved which I believe so based on the stories from this group discussion so far. I’m so happy!!.

Go to your interview, talk to IO without spouse. Explain your current situation. If spouse has not pulled I-864, you can be approved and will have to ROC for extreme cruelty. If he pulled asked IO to hold I485 for VAWA. If IO doesn't hold don't worry.

Of course not! It only means you need to pay!$$$ Sandra addressed this issue earlier..probably a day or two ago..read back perhaps you'll find it! USCIS are for some reason rejecting the fee waivers on some cases...maybe you didn't support your waiver with proofs as to why the fees should be waived in the first place..turns out they need their money..💰 Christmas is over! LOL😀😀 don't fret much just pay..you'll be fine!👍

My my attorney didn’t attached any proofs. She only explained why I couldn’t afford. She told me that usually they waiver the fee for vawa petitioners and I didn’t worry about it at the time. I hope it doesn’t delay anything.

My attorney didn’t add any details. She only explain in 5 lines why I couldn’t afford. 😔

soon as your attorney encloses the fee and sends the package back to USCIS, they will begin processing of the i485.😊👍

Hi family just wondering if anyone has gone to interview before their divorce was filed? Your input will be appreciated

i think both are not linked with each other. if asked, you can explain why your divorce is still pending

You can use this link to find your local office.

According to this link, Vawa can only be submitted while in the United States, but Sandra wrote an answer here for me on the forum. And she said that you can mail post from another country.
I'm completely confused. Will my case be accepted for consideration?

hugs.

Thank you.
