God Bless Everyone ! 

I know about this blessed forum for a while  and I have been helped by someone from this forum through my vawa I-360 approval process . 

I really need an urgent  guidance for my decision making  . Let me share my story in short ....

 

05/23/2018 = I got married with my husband who is US citizen (Family decision had influence on our marriage that I literally regret. My visa was F1- student )

04/16/2019 = I had to leave my spouse because of violence and he was drug abuser  . He was arrested . We were on process gathering documents for GC application . Eventually , he hasn't applied   green card for me . 

08/09/2019  = Applied for I-360 ( based on violence pictures, police reports, texts, witnesses) 

09/13/2020  = I received the approval notice for I-360 with EAD. 

12/03/2020 = Applied for I-485 and I-765 ( EAD ) ----- I haven't received any receipt notice for the case . I am not sure when I am going to receive that. 

 

 I am still in F1-visa and working for a company where I got picked up for h1b lottery  this year 2021 a week ago . So my company is interested to apply for h1b visa . I am not sure if I should let my company to apply for h1b visa ? Will that affect I-360 or I-485 ? After this november 2021 , my f1 status will be expired .  if I do not have any status  , I will lose my job . So it is kinda hard decision for me . 

 

And  Does I-360 approval notice have any expiration date  ? Should  I keep renewing the EAD card based on I-360 and leave my F1 status and h1b opportunity ? 

 

I also need good suggestions from everyone that would be the best approach for me . 

 

I pray the Lord God blesses everyone. 

 

 

 

 

 

As long you have a valid work  permit you are fine. Why will you  lose your job? , You maintain your job because of the work permit and not because of the F1 status. Your F1 status means you can legally study here, that is it.

Thank you for the information. I am concerned about if USCIS will approve h1b while AOS is pending . And is USCIS be able to find  package without receipt number ? I lost my tracking number

Your H1b application is separate from AOS, you are just trying to maintain valid status in the country which is kosher with immigration law as far as I know from my own experience with being in a similar situation. My I360 is pending since 2019, USCIS still approved my H1b earlier this year. 

 

Is USCIS be able to find  package without receipt number? I dont know, I think they should be able to. Definitely wont hurt to contact USCIS through senator. Worst case scenario they wont have any trace of filing, then you refile for I-485. Please make it a point to save all tracking numbers when mailing to USCIS in the future. 

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.
