Your spouse needs to be a us citizen or gc holder. 
When you submitted your vawa, you didn’t attach your ex spouse us citizen or gc documents?

Which is what I thought, he was GC holder, I didn't have any docs of him. How can they approve my I 360 if he was not GC or a citizen. Does USCIS do mistakes like this?

Somebody obviously overlooked it. This was a mistake they made. I think that's why your file was returned to VSC, for them to have a closer look. 

 

They might or might not put you in removal proceedings. Just try prepare. If you don't have a lawyer, try to find one.

Hi, to establish a qualifying relationship, you have to be married to a USC or a LPR. You should provide a copy of the birth certificate (USC) or copy of GC (LPR) really don't know where the confusion is coming from especially with your approved vawa!💁

Please find out if USCIS can look up your status based on your spouses SSN. If you filed taxes together, ssn will be on tax return documents. Did you anytime see his Greencard or a copy of it? Do you have an attorney? Please request legal advise. Hope you find a way out in case spouse is indeed a permanent resident. Hope @sandranj is able to clarify the situation 🙏🏽

Sorry about typo. I meant to ask if CIS can look up ‘spouses’ immigration status using their SSN

Hi again all. I received my GC yesterday and finally the long journey is over 🙏 

Here's my ultimate timeline;

 

- I'm an NYC, Queens Filer back from April 2017; filed I-360 and I-485 concurrently,

- RFE'd in August 2018 for more details/evidence about the abuse,

- I-360 was approved in January 2019

- Interview date: November 2020 (there were 19 days between the notice and the interview)

- And after the interview I've received the GC in 9 days.

 

The interview was very smooth and brief. Took about 15 minutes. My attorney was present on the phone during the interview, as well. 

IO was very nice and friendly, asked my passport, medicals, state ID, divorce decree. Didn't ask my taxes, or anything else. Didn't even ask most Y/N questions. 

 

So the whole thing took 3,5 years but this shouldn't scare you. It's NY first of all, second, I received an RFE that delayed the process I believe 5-6 months, third, there was goverment shutdown and this pandemic... 

 

Well, don't lose your hope, don't give up. The light is bright at the end of the tunnel!

 

Thank you all for answers and help, special thanks to @Stillwinning!!!😊 for being a first responder:p on my questions and for the encouragement, too. 

 

Wish you all fast approvals and happy holidays! So long and thanks for all the fish!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations!!!

They can identify him as a GC holder through his date of birth, you might need a lawyer to help you with this case, but wait until you get some notice from Uscis. You might just  get approve and receive your GC. Good luck

Thanks :)

Hi DanyT, I applied for I-360 in Nov 2019 too. Please continue to keep us posted of any updates. I applied for AOS/EAD/AP in Feb 2020, have not received my I-131 advance parole yet. Did you get yours, and if you did, when?  

Divorced US citizen spouse in December 2017. 

Filed I-360 on Nov 12, 2019

Filed I485/ C31 EAD / AP in Feb 2020 (Stupid lawyer filed C31 instead of C9, and I didnt know EAD codes, didnt know about this VJ forum either)

On H1b status since 2014, H1b 6 years expired in May 2020. Out of status / Period of authorized stay since then. 

Amended EAD petition to C9 and filed expedite request for same in mid-may 2020. 

C9 EAD approved June 4, 2020. 

Biometrics done in Oct 2020. 

I485 case transferred to NBC for "faster processing" on September 30, 2020

Filed C9 EAD / AP Renewal petition in February 2021. 

Initial Advance Parole (from Feb 2020 application) approved in June 2021. 

C31 EAD production update - Nov 1st, 2021. 

C31 card delivered to attorney's office on Nov 8, 2021. 

I-360 case approved status update - Nov 22, 2021. 

No RFE throughout.  

Senator's office confirmed via congressional inquiry that the St. Louis office has received the I485 file and is currently awaiting interview scheduling - March 7, 2022

C9 EAD renewal card production case update - July 20, 2022 (took them just 17 months to process)

C9 EAD / AP renewal approval case update on both cases on July 21, 2022.

Combo card delivered to attorney's office on July 27, 2022

Medical exam RFE Drama: Second congressional inquiry sent in early July 2022 for I485. USCIS responded on 8/12/22 to this congressional inquiry that they issued an RFE on 5/24/22 and were waiting for my response. My lawyer denied receiving RFE and there was no such update on online USCIS portal. Lawyer's old firm was safe mailing address on my case. Lawyer changed firms a year after I hired her but did not change mailing address for my case with USCIS, she said she had a deal with her old firm to forward all her clients' mail to her new firm. Old firm denied receiving RFE. Sent another congressional inquiry requesting copy of RFE on 8/17/22. I also got medical exam done on 8/17/22 as I assumed RFE was for medical exam (thanks for this forum's insights.) Yelled at lawyer and threatened her with dire consequences. On 8/18/22 my lawyer's old firm finally found scanned copy of RFE in their "archived scans" (whatever the duck that is) and emailed it to me. It was indeed RFE requesting medical exam. On 8/20/22 I mailed medicals sealed packet with copy of RFE to St. Louis field office. Also sent a notarized letter with the packet - updating safe mailing address to my home address and informing St. Louis field office that I fired my lawyer. Sent similar letter to Vermont Service Center on the same date. 

8/23/22 - Fedex confirmed delivery of medicals packet to St. Louis Field Office. 

8/26/22: Case update on I485: New Card Is Being Produced

8/29/22:  On August 29, 2022, we approved your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

9/3/22 green card delivered to attorney's office (they didn't change safe mailing address despite my written requests to FO AND VSC.) 

9/6/22 VSC returned AR11 and my letter requesting safe mailing address change. In their letter they said something to the effect of "you can do this online, we wont do it via snail mail request etc." Just posting as an FYI, its weird. Also received I485 approval notice on the same date.
