Your GC has to be approved as you need to submit copy of green card and approval letter with paperwork. 

Thank you so much @Pinkrlion

Look what I've found guys!   

Vermont - St. Albans Field Office

We are expanding our online fee payment system. Starting May 27, 2019, you will no longer be able to pay fees with a money order or cashier’s check at this office. You can still pay with a personal check, debit card, credit card, or a reloadable prepaid credit/debit card.

 

I guess I'm doomed  I've sent to them an application for my EAD renewal category c-31 and I paid with the cashier check.😨

What should  I do now?  🙄

Good to have you here😊 anyways I believe you can file for them to reopen the previous i485 or you can file a new one based on a pending i360. Lots of people here have been in that peculiar situation but still made it through..so don't let nothing stop you!

Thanks for you response. 

I read that reopening  I-485 takes a long time and they usually deny the application.  Is it true?

I'm not too certain how it really goes as I haven't had any such experience. But it seems like it will take some time for the consideration..et al. So you can go ahead and file a new one based on the pending i360.👍

I don't think you or anyone here is doomed! There is ALWAYS a way! Worst case scenario, they send it back and you do it right.💁relax my dear.

This is St. Albans Vermont USCIS Local office, Not the Service Center, meaning Interview for petitions, citizenship, infopass, are conduct here for St. Albans and more counties around Vermont they do all the other things a field office do. This field office also serve as Application Support Center this is why they update online fee payment system Debit / Credit card and personal check. 

Vermont Service Center is different, your EAD renewal will be accepted with a cashier check  payment.

Hello everyone,  I'm new here, I've gone through the whole part 16 thread, and I must say you guys are doing a great job.

I found this forum a bit late, I didn't know I could go to the interview myself with Vawa application or to ask the officer to hold my I485. As it now, my I-485 has been denied, (not up to 33days though), and I have read on here that it's complicated when it has been denied before filing VAWA.

Please any of your advise on what next to do will be appreciated.  Thanks

you can apply for MTR and submit I360 receipt, they might put it on hold. but you can submit another i485 as well as your ap/ead has already denied as well

 To file the Motion to Reconsider the USCIS denial. You must file the motion within 30 days of the FORM I-485 denial and have a reason why you need them to reconsider the decision. This motion is form I-290B cost around $675.00 and is not certain that they will consider to reopen. Is advise to just file a new I-485 along with your I-360, and if you already filed Vawa, and your husband was US Citizens you can submit your AOS package to Vermont service center also include a copy of your I-360 receipt. 

Also write a letter to your local office asking them not to issue an NTA because you have apply for Vawa and send a copy of your I-360 along with the letter.

I received the request for additional evidence and they’re asking for good faith of marriage. I had a joint account with my abuser but he overdraft the account shortly after we got married and the account was closed so they say they can’t accept that.  The lease was under his name because that’s the way he wanted it and I had no utility under my name because I wasn’t working at the time. When I suggested we file apply for life insurance he refused. We had no kids and we lived together for less than a year due to the abuse. I can get affidavits from a couple of my friends and also my own affidavit. Would that be enough?

Similar situation here as well..got the RFE for good faith marriage..I submitted the lease, our landlord wrote too to confirm, cable bills..affidavits from neighbors, friends and family...think carefully, search fervently, you'll be able to come up with a document or two that can help..alongside attestations from witnesses..yes! Gather those affidavits my dear. Out here, we stay winning! You'll make it!💛💙💜💚

You must explain in detail why you wasn't able to be on the lease, Why the bank account was close check with the bank they may be able to provide you a letter when the account was open, the names on the account, date it was close... Explain exactly why you name was not on any utility... Affidavits from friends... Check your social media record photos of your weeding, receipt or travel documents.... Any cards like bjs, health insurance... Just explain all in very clear details.

Hello Everyone!!

 

I am submitting my work permit renewal.

 

Do I need to include approved receipt for my last EAD or the copy of my work permit card?

 

My lawyer sent me only copy of I-485 & I-360 and not the approved receipt of EAD.

 

Thank you in advance guys 🙏

Copy of the EAD to be renewed is fine. You don't need to submit the approval.😊👍obviously you're using an attorney..he should know what to send out..
