Just received my interview courtesy letter today.!!!! 😁 May 2018 filler. November 2019 they transferred my case to another uscia office plus ead c31 approved same month. December 2019  they approved my case. San Antonio, TX local office. So far on the web it says 6 months waiting. I'm not sure how much waiting left I have though. 

Congrats 🍾 best of luck to you

No, the Head of Household status is designed for single persons with dependents, but in some cases, married persons can claim the Head of Household filing status. To qualify for the Head of Household filing status while married, you must:

• File your taxes separately from your spouse
• Pay more than half of the household expenses
• Not have lived with your spouse for the last 6 months of the year
• Provide the principle home of a qualifying dependent
• Claim an exemption for your dependent

If you meet all of these requirements, you may file as Head of Household while married.  But be careful because IRS can come back to you if you file head of household and don’t meet the requirements.

Thanks for this

Hi, thanks but that is what I'm trying to figure out. I have no issue paying again, but it is unclear to me if I have to pay again to resend or if I just send new prints without new payment

If you're able to send prints without payment, it's a win. Go ahead.

Give it some more time..for the second question..it depends on what interview you mean..is it the greencard interview? They'll basically run you through the i485 questions and if they're feeling some type of way..might want a recap of the i360 (which they're NOT supposed to as it's been decided by Vermont). Otherwise it's pretty straightforward!👍

Thank you Shroy123 for your answer, but could someone please tell me when I should start worrying? I mean, I want to know what is the waiting time range that is usually considered normal to receive the Vawa approval letter (I-360) after receiving the EAD (C31).
Thank you....

Nothing is set in stone with USCIS. I may receive mine in less than 30days (which actually happened) and the next person in 60days..another 90days..so just be a little more patient..give it some more time..then either enquire through written medium to Vermont, through your attorney (if you have) or through your representative!👍

Just got here, happy to see this supportive community !!

I-360, I-485 received Oct. 2019.

PF Nov. 2019. Waiting for C09 EAD and PD.

 

1. We all know long VSC processing times these day. Increased from 5-6 months in 2017. What will help reduce processing times? Is it linked to 2020 elections?

 

2. Can H1b holder take on another job with C09 EAD but still maintain H1b status with primary job?

 

Not sure about your last question..but you asked what will help reduce processing times? Well..if they could clear out backlogged petitions- it will be a good start! Loads of petitions are submitted on a daily..not enough officers to handle the work load..complex cases..wrongly filed petitions..etc.💁I never imagined that one day I'll be advocating for patience..I used to see it as a waste of valuable time, but I've grown to recognize the difference between wasting time and been patient!😊 that's basically what we need in this journey. PATIENCE!

Quick question. 

My wife is again texting me apology texts. I am not replying her but what should I do ?

I just found out through one friend that she is facing problems and she is also showing remorse of her past actions. Should I talk to her ? Should I meet her? I am not sure what I should do ? We are not divorced yet.

I did my taxes last year and i put head of household, and i will do it this year as well since I am in the process of the divorce.... But an accountant can advise which is best for  you.
