Hi guys 

I have one question -  3 weeks ago I sent my EAD for renewal and I still haven’t received any receipts that they received my application. This is the first time I am renewing it so am I supposed to receive some receipts or they just gonna mail new EAD after couple of months? Thanks

you should wait 4 to 6 weeks. I received NOA for my renewal within 3 weeks. you should receive it anytime by now

The C31 is usually sent out following i360 approval so yeah..also I've read early threads about folks not having their status updated online..still got their Greencards inspite of this..

i have seen many cases where i360 approval notice came after 4 to 5 months after c31 EAD. so @Icemanwait your approval letter will come soon. good thing is that you have an EAD based on vawa..

Can I send the missing documents on my own?
Is this my new additional letter?
Psychological assessment (although I don't have one yet)
And more other evidence.
Or should I wait for a response from USFSF?

Also I do not know how it is sent?
To find out what my number is? So that they know ... What letter is needed about this, my case number.

The issue is, Im in removal proceedings, and the court will not cancel the removal proceedings till I can prove that my case was approved. I don't care if they approve my case online as long as I can get the notice of approval letter from them. That way I can submit it to the court and have my Removal proceedings terminated in court. I can't even file for I-485 with USCIS till the case is dropped from court. 

My attorney said to wait at least 30 days before we can submitt an inquiry with USCIS. (30 days from the day my filing date became current)

You can do it either ways! You are able to send evidence alongside copy of your i360 receipt or you can wait to get RFE..I'll advice you gather solid evidence first! Good thing they have accepted your case!

Don't wait! Ask your congressman to help ASAP! This is for your benefit not your attorney's!

What's the process of getting the congressman involved? Do I just call the local congressman and submit an inquiry?

Usually you call or email but call is faster! State your issue(s) they'll send (email) you a privacy release form which you'll fill out, sign and send back to them..(usually scan and send back) they'll take it from there and get back to you soon as they have word from USCIS!

Did I understand correctly? What should I attach their response to every correspondence and letter sent? (copy)
I 797
so that they have the opportunity to know whose letter this is.

When can we apply for citizenship after green card approval after VAWA? Is it three years? I remember reading on one of the old threads that you can apply after 2 years and 9 months. Please advise.

Under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) you are  eligible to apply after three years that you received your green card,but legally speaking you can apply after 2.9 months.

Something very weird happened. I filed for I-360 and I-485 simultaneously 60 days ago. They sent a receipt for my I-360 but rejected the fee waiver for my I-485. I payed the fee for the I-485 and submitted it 40 days ago. Now they sent a RFE asking for my I-360 approval (?????). My attorney is from Catholic legal Services. It is very hard to talk with them sometimes. She said that I should not be worried because it was a mistake. @sandranj have you ever seen this happening before? In the last case scenario If they open removal proceedings having my I-360

receipt is enough to cancel my removal? 

Your attorney must answer the RFE even if it's a mistake made by the USCIS.  Yes the Court will stop your  removal until final adjudication of your I-360, of course the attorney must ask the Court to stop  your removal.

Guys, need some advise. My EAD was approved under C31 back in June. It's been 4 months and they still haven't approved the VAWA. I'm over 4 days of The normal processing time for my case as well. I filed for VAWA in Nov 8 2017. I think They are working on 15th of Nov cases. 

 

What do you guys think I should do? 

If you got the EAD category C31 then your VAWA was approved. USCIS just didn't send you the approval letter.
