Hi @sandranj ! My case was transferred to NBC on 09/25/2018 with receipt number starting EAC .... and I haven’t got any CL notice yet. It’s been almost 27 month . I did congressman inquire last July 2020. I have got this response ““we’re unable to determine at this time when the review process of the application will be completed. USCIS will issue a decision on your constituent’s case as soon as possible.””And recently I did again congressman inquiry I haven’t got any response from NBC. I’m now highly depressed . What I should do now . Plz advise. Thanks!!!

USCIS most of the time Do not inform if the case was transferred to your local office. NYC local offices are taking 14/19 months to schedule the AOS interview.

Hello everyone,

 

Is it safe to file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage if I-360 has been approved and you are waiting on I-485 interview [based on VAWA]?

 

Thank you

Yes. Nothing in the statute requires you to remain married. There's only 2 requirements as to marriage with VAWA:

1. You have to file I-360 either while married or within 2 years of termination of marriage.

2. You cannot marry someone else until at very least I-360 is approved.

Can’t agree more @sandranj I come from a place where single women are judged, ridiculed and shamed. I find it easier to disconnect from society and keep to myself. Since I cannot avoid  work colleagues who are mostly from my country, i was thinking if i can keep my info confidential. I have been having nightmares about this and am yet to inform my employer.But I will have to do that once i have card in my hand. Time is a great healer and i hope to feel normal someday. I will work on becoming a stronger person. Thank you for your support  🙏🏽

Your emotional strength shows in your words. I hope you get a sense of community from the people in this forum. I come from a similarly prudish culture, I know what you are talking about. The greatest protection against judgement is to learn to let it go and take it in your stride, but it takes much conscious awareness and practice. People who judge you probably have their own significant issues to deal with.

Hello Guys,

Can you please help me.

So, 4 years ago I was married to my US spouse, and I applied for I-485 since we just married. Year after we were split, I applied for I-360 and recently I was approved. I forgot that my I-485 still active. I thought is denied since I applied for I-360. I thought I need to file now new I-485.

I prepared everything for new I-485, and today I checked my old I-485 is written “Name is updated” !!!!

So what should I do now?

Do I need to file new one, or to keep with old one?? 
But the old one I-485 is from the time I applied when I was married to my spouse.

Please, help

If i were you, I will contact my Congressman to find out what is going on with my I-485 application first, before submitting anything, you might get your interview schedule fast, but I don’t think you need to submit another I-485.good luck.
