My lawyer asked for $900 to be present for interview via phone! I chose to save my $$ and went alone. I wasn’t asked any difficult things  related to abuse but only standard yes/no questions and was approved same day. Hope this helps. I wish you all the best 👍🏽

Since we're asking EAD questions, I decided to contribute mine :)

 

Filed VAWA in Sept 2020 but before that I renewed my EAD card which is now expiring in September 2021. My EAD is based on c09 category since I renewed it before applying for VAWA. Do I keep renewing under c09? My I-360 is not approved yet. Where do I send my renewal now that I filed I-360?

 

Also, any additional advice on filling out the EAD renewal?

 

Thank you!

if you have pending i-485 and pay for it then send c09 with i-485 receipt notice. you will be fine.

Hey! About taxes.

was it a W2 form or actually documents about paying that taxes?

My tax paperwork is protected with a permission code and even after entering it I’m not able to print my documents. 
I don’t know what to do.

And I’m not really comfortable to print it somewhere else. 

You can request a tax transcript from IRS for the past three years

 

 

800-908-9946
 
You may use Get Transcript by Mail or you may call our automated phone transcript service at 800-908-9946 to order a tax return or tax account transcript be sent by mail.

my PF is expired today how long will take to get the new one ?

 

there is no timeframe for that. some people get it before the first one expires, some get it after the expiration of first one and some have to write to Vermont to get it.

I got mine a week before the expiration of first one.

I would say if you do not get in next 2 to 3 weeks then write to vermont if you really need it.

Curious to know. If you file I-485/765, then file VAWA. Do they issue new Receipts for I-485/765 with EAC number after you file VAWA or they keep the same old receipts/case on hold? TIA

No, they do not issue new receipt numbers.

Vermont does not reply to any correspondence. 

Vermont does not reply but once you send them written letter for PF they do send you new PF.

If its a password protected PDF then just try hitting print and then select "print to pdf" or something similar in the box that opens up. this will save the pdf as a plain pdf without a password that you can save anywhere and print anytime.  

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.

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

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.

Make sure to send your C09  EAD renewal six months before expiration,

go to police plaza in your county and get police fingerprints for immigration ( good moral character) in  addition to what you have already had from friends and families and send them to VSC right away, don’t wait for RFE
