Hey! I am in the same boat. Our timelines match as well! 

You can request new prima face if you want and are receiving benefits.  If you are not then there's no point in asking for it. Prima facie is yo reciceve public benefits.

hi @HRQX @Shroy123 @Sanchi @Pinkrlion Thank you for your response and everyone I forgot to mention. So today I will send my c09 1765 renewal application but I wanna make sure if by any chance ou know that USCIS still accepts money order? Coz I don't have personal check.

Thanks dear!😊 If I recall your VAWA has been approved correct? I believe what you received was the courtesy letter..do not do the medicals yet until you get the interview letter! It's hard to tell when you will have your interview, but you're definitely getting closer as the next update will be an interview letter..that's the only time you'll know when you'll be having the interview. Relax dear, you're almost done!❤😊

Question, why shouldn’t you do your medical before interview? Aren’t they good for 1yr?

Yes they accept money orders.  Make sure that you get one that you can track.  I suggest going to the Post Office to get a money order.

They changed the guidelines for medicals.  They are now good for 2 years, but you cannot get them done more than 60 days before you turn them in.  So a medical that is already one year old when you get to your interview, they will  not accept.

Wow what a catch 22 lol. If I understand correctly, you sometimes receive a courtesy letter to have medicals for interview but that’s not your actual interview notice right?

No dear that's not your actual interview. Just a letter making sure you get lacking documents..in this case, the medicals.☺👍

Just saw this. Because it's likey to be invalid before the actual interview..given that it's valid for 60days from when the civil surgeon signs it and as such if you don't get an interview in that time..you're likely to do it over again as USCIS will not accept it.👍

And of course it's valid for two years...but USCIS rules that if it exceeds 60days from when it's signed, it's no longer acceptable by them!💁

No it is just a notice so that you can be aware you still need to do another medical because the other one expired or you did not submit one with your paperwork.  I got my Courtesy Letter in April, my interview letter came in July, and my Interview was in August.
