VAWA, Part 21

[shiva32 240]

Hi All,  

  trying to see if @Sandranj can help with this issue:

  - I filed I360 in November 2019. 

  - Filed I485 / I765/ I131 in February 2020. got EAD approval in june 2020 (after amending from C31 to C9, and requesting expedited processing)

- Havent received I131 / Advance parole yet. 

- Submitted congressional inquiry in november 2020 for I131, USCIS responded to my senator's office that they will update case in 30 days, but no response. My attorney submitted "out of normal processing time" electronic request to USCIS online on 1/25/21. yesterday update on my USCIS site showed this: 

• 02/03/2021
  

  On February 3, 2021, your inquiry about an approval notice that you did not receive, referral number XXXX was completed.

• 02/03/2021
  

  On February 3, 2021, we sent a response to your inquiry about an approval notice that you did not receive, referral number XXXX

• 02/03/2021
  

  On February 3, 2021, your inquiry about an approval notice that you did not receive, referral number XXXX was assigned to an officer for response.

 

@sandranj do you have any advice in this matter? I need to attend my sister's wedding in my country.

@sandranj Neither me nor my lawyer have received any response from USCIS so far regarding the I131. How long should I wait for a reply and what are my next steps?

@Stillwinning!!!😊 @sandranj And ho else  can help. 
 

I received the RFE to do my son's medical exams in August 2020. (he is 4 years old) but it seems that he also needs a medical exam and I will do it tomorrow.
 
 I've checked with my Congressmen and my case has been in the Local Office since September 2020.
 
 My question is whether I can send this exam to my Local office or can I send it to Vermont?
 
 To see if the date of the interview is speeded up.

 I thank you for your time and attention to us all.❤️

Do a Google search of who your congressman is get in contact with them they will send you a privacy release form which you will fill out and send back to them they will inquire on your behalf to USCIS!👍

hi, I know that after vawa gets approved, my case gets transferred to my local office. After vawa approval, when I check case processing times for I-485 for my local office, does the processing time given there start when the case arrives at the local office AFTER vawa approval?, OR when I FIRST submitted my case? I submitted altogether (I-485, I-131, I-360), and my ex spouse is a citizen. thank you

@sandranj do you have any advice in this matter? I need to attend my sister's wedding in my country. 

you might done this already, but have you checked your EAD? normally, they approve EAD 09 together with advanced parole and it's the same card. based on your notes, it also looks like AP was approved

Good Afternoon ,

 

I am preparing my documents to refile my I-485 again  based on approved I-360. I am sharing the documents to check if I missed anything in the list  :

1. Form I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864 Waiver , medical report I-693, 

2. Supporting Documents : I-360 approval letter, 2 photos , Copy of passport, birth-certificate, id card , I-94, marriage certificate and divorce certificate . 

 

Besides that I have few questions : 

1. I do not have any criminal record like felony or arrest  . Do I need to get police clearance from my current  place  ? I contacted to the police station . They said they take 3 months to process it and mail it because of Corona .  Need a possible solution as I want to apply I-485 faster . 

2. Should I use the Alien number in any form ? My previous I -485 is denied . So I am not sure if the  alien number is valid or not  .

3. And will I go through the biometric again as I am gonna refile I-485 ?

4. Should I include any information like reason about previous denial ?

Thanks everyone . 

1. Maybe try to get FBI? Mine took under a month (pre-pandemic). It will work for all the states.

2. Yes A number stays the same forever like SSN.

3. Not sure but I am guessing yes.

4. Not sure but I am guessing no. Ask lawyers about that.

Dear friends 

As I mentioned in my previous post that I had  saw such a tough time I am here in USA for the last 7 years and I never travelled back to my home country first in the month of November 2020 my sister passed away and then with 17 days time my father passed away Ie December 2020 and since my parole is pending I didn’t travel to my country.

 

Further to add here that  my  VAWA is already approved I got the RFE for I-693  Ie for Medical 2 days before so hopefully when I submitted the same the USCIS will approve the green  card without interview.

 

so I have a question that since my attorney is preparing the form I-693 so her name will be there in the column that she is the prepares and then the civil surgeon will sign the same and give me the seal copy so that I can submit it to the USCIS field office.
