I know your frustration but don't worry it will soon end, as far I see you at the finish line you will have your GC in hand sooner than you think the hardest part is over, remember @sandranj @Stillwinning!!!😊and the rest of the family always say immigration is messy he must have lost your stuff. Dont even worry about the combo card no need for it. Sometimes we get a little set back but God is always on time 🙏 

Thank you so much for those words and bringing up some energy levels up😁😁😁 like in a video game.

Have a blessed day🙏🙏🙏

Yes dear, actually I had it December 16th submitted everything as requested by the IO, only to get an rfe again the next day asking for the same stuff I gave him. The rfe asked for employment letter with 2 recent paystubs and a copy of my divorce. I gave the divorce copy to him but still asked for it again and the only new thing was the letter and paystubs. I responded immediately and it's been about 2 weeks now without any update yet.

I'm just fed up with this whole rollercoaster ride with uscis and I feel so frustrated. My renewal for my combo card is still pending since August and only have my 180 day notices like I mentioned earlier.

Wow so during the actual interview he didn't mention anything about the paystubs? Like you could've brought them and IO just forgot to ask for it? Gosh.

It does sound though like you should hear back within the next couple of weeks, after waiting for years this should feel like an instant now.

And thanks for sharing, I got my paystubs for the interview later this month but didn't even think they would require a letter from employer as well.

Good luck with your case, keep us updated. You have nothing to stress about.

Yep you're right with the IO and I hope and pray nothing comes up again.

Next month will be exactly 4 years since I submitted my application, still pressing on with God's help🙏🙏🙏

You need to mail to VSC a change of address form AR-11.

I remember you expedited your EAD. Did you do it over the phone?

We have the same date! From what I can remember it was mentioned here that they are no longer suppose to ask about the abuse because it has already been adjudicated.  If I remember correctly you can say politely that the abuse has already been adjudicated and that you don't want to talk about it as you want to move on. I hope some members on here will confirm this as well to be true.

 

People who have gone through the interview posted here that generally they were asked on information that they filled out on the I-485 etc.

 

Good luck to us!

Thank you for your reply, hope it will go well for us

When I try to expedite by calling in, they say that vawa program is confidential and I need to do everything by mail.

Hi guys I'm not a frequent person here on this site I just browse through occasionally. But I had to leave my info here so persons will feel encouraged and know that their time of approval is coming. Just stay strong and don't just depend on your lawyers to push your case for you because you are just another case that they have even though they maybe trying their best to assist you. Reach out to your representatives because they'll assist you. Just google your nearest representatives their information will come up! Wishing everyone a speedy approval.

Hello House 

please I need an answer and if anyone can help it will be appreciated. 
 So I’m trying to go back to school for my Licensing Practical Nursing and I just spoke to a school and I was told because I don’t have a green card or US citizen I can’t enroll for nursing and since I also came in with a visitors visa ( even though I have a valid EAD ) I don’t qualify for nursing program. Is this true?

ps: I’m in New Jersey

1-She is wrong.

2-She is wrong.

3-She is wrong.

4-She is right

5- She is wrong. USCIS is not obligated to send RFE, there is a USCIS memorandum about this.

 

Once the AOS is denied  the advance parole is null and void (automatically), but DHS can just  start removal proceedings  after 33 days of the denial. Are you sure she is an attorney?.

Thank you Sandra! I think i wrote few things not in a proper way! Thank you again for the feedbacks.

Hello family! I received a request for medicals a month ago and sent them out on january 6th. Today i just saw this update. Looks like somebody is getting approved without interview. Correct me if I'm wrong lol i thought it was going to say to say that it was approved instead of card being produced. But yea, thats the i485. I am so grateful 🙏🏾

You made it ! Congratulations!!!

It might be the school is an institute and not a college or a university, those institute gives private loans, to their student and they need GC or USA citizenship, they don;t really work with Federal aid like Fafsa. Double check.

You re correct thank you for this! I checked again Nd it’s an institute. So does it mean with my EAD I can only apply to a community college or university? What if I am paying out of pocket which is cheaper to apply to? 
 

ps: I never got a primafacie that’s why I want to pay out of pocket as I don’t think I’ll qualify for Fafsa

You may need to verify directly with the college they do work with Non-U.S. Citizens, and qualified aliens (battered immigrant VAWA) which we fall on the category  but you need your Prima Facie. You can write to Vermont Service Center and request your prima facie, my friend did it and they sent it to her, even thought they did not at the beginning.
