Hello Guys,

 

Undelivered Combo Card 

 

I need some advice. My combo card was approved in July  but sent to the wrong address so I never received it. USPS said is was returned to sender. I sent a notarized letter to USCIS for a replacement card or a return of the card which was sent back to them . I followed this up with a letter to my congressman. I received a letter  from USCIS stating that they have not received the returned card and that I would need to file a fresh application. This does not make sense since application has already been approved and after almost a year waiting for the card. Also they claim that I did not update my address but I did that more than 6 months ago and received an acknowledgement from USCIS. Please what's the best way to go about this? I do not want to lose my job.

 

Thank you.

Hi community,

Thank you for always being able to help and give a good piece of advise.
I am seeking information on the below.

So, I have pending I485 based on marriage and pending I360 (NOA1 24APR19, Fingerprint Review Completer 24MAY19).
I currently have EAD+AP which are going to be expired on 29NOV19 and I applied for an extension of both in July, so waiting (applied by my own, with no help from my lawyer because she was asking for more money)...

I have a lawyer ONLY on my I360 petition, all the steps before I took without a lawyer and she is not a lawyer on my I485 unless USCIS link it automatically.
Me and my lawyer sent in I360 before divorce was finalized, so divorce decree was not included in the application.
I want to send it in now and curious if I can do so by my own or only my lawyer can do so if I have her on file for I360? Will USCIS accept communication from me or only from her?  (also I want to request my lawyer for a copy of I360 application she sent in because only she knows what she included from everything I provided to her and to check if I need to include anything else except of Divorce Decree).

Another question is about my I485 pending application:
So, in July my case status changed to "Ready to be scheduled for an interview" but I just moved in June and I did submit address change as required, but never got a confirmation of address change, so as soon as I saw new I485 status I enquired help from Congressman Local Office (as VJ members advised, thank you for that) and got feedback that USCIS has my new address, it is updated and interview will be scheduled at my new local office, but wait time in this area is longer, so it will take at least 6 more months to schedule it. 
Now the question is: Should I submit a request to hold in abeyance until my I360 is adjudicated or not? Again...can I request that or I am not authorised to do such requests and only my lawyer can do so? 

Please assist as you have more experience and knowledge!
Thank you and love to you all!

You will have to attend interview to ask the officer to put your I485 in hold until Vawa is approved.

Once that happens you always keep a copy of your divorce decree, they have been asking for in the interview so you can hande it to the officer in case they ask.

best!

As I mentioned in my post, I moved states and my lawyer is in a different state, so I can not sit with her or meet her, everything is by phone calls and she already knows that I see that she is trying to make intentional mistakes to charge me more in the future... I already caught here twice and she admitted that I do know and I do research. She was hoping to get more money from me I feel like...

You don’t need to have a lawyer near by, I had mine from another State. 

The lawyer has to be specialize in Vawa. It would be best!

Why do I need to have a lawyer locally? Any pros and cons?
Also, I paid my lawyer in full....

No, you don’t need your lawyer to be in same state. I only suggested as you are expressing distrust in your lawyer and going through challenges getting her to file things for you. 

 

Really upto you.

I do not know. I am working in a local store and they are fine with that.  Now, you have told me. So, I am getting more nervous. What should I do? Is there any way I can check the status of my WP?

 

Ask your lawyer for help. I am sure there are many more details in your case that we don’t know here in a public forum. You will be ok in the end. Don’t panic

Good morning VJ Family i have a question, 30 days a go my I-360 got approved  and i requested my lawyer to get in contact with USCIS and to reopen my I-485 since my I-485 was put on hold just before my interview for my green card. My question is how long after an approval on I-360 USCIS will scheduled  a interview and is it better if i reach out to them or  it will be better i contact my congressmen, the reason why im asking this is that my VAWA case toke 4 years and i'm hoping that it wont take them 2-3 years for that interview to be scheduled. I was married to a US citizen, can you guess please advice me and what to do???

they will transfer your I-485 to your local field office. It varies how ling they take for this step, I have seen here cases that ranged from 2-6 months. Then after that how quickly they schedule your interview also depends... there is no set trend really, its all over the place as of now.  In the meantime, live your life, rejoice that one huge step is done! 

 

I cant even imagine what you went through waiting for 4 years. Hope the next part is over in the blink of an eye and you get your life completely back with I485 approval. 🤗
