It is Sunday and therefore time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread joke (known or suspected to evoke approvals and positive progress):

============================================

NO MONKEYING AROUND

 

A police officer came upon a terrible wreck where the driver and passengers had been killed.  As he looked at the wreckage, a little monkey came out of the brush and hopped around the crashed car.

 

The officer looked down at the monkey and said, "I wish you could talk."  The monkey looked up at the officer and shook his head up and down.

 

"You can understand what I'm saying?" asked the officer.  Again, the monkey shook his head up and down.

 

"Well, did you see this?"

 

"Yes," nodded the monkey.

 

"What happened?"  The monkey pretended to have a can in his hand and turned it up by his mouth.

 

"They were drinking?" asked the officer.  The monkey nodded "yes."

 

"What else?"  The monkey pinched his fingers together and held them to his mouth.

 

"They were smoking marijuana?"  The monkey nodded "yes."

 

"Now, wait -- you're saying that your owners were drinking and also smoking marijuana before they wrecked."  The monkey nodded "yes."

 

"What were you doing during all this?"

 

"Driving," motioned the monkey.

:P

It's still a possibility that you could get interview waiver. Just wait for RFE vs interview notice. Shouldn't take too long, looks like they are already active with your case since they sent deficiency notice. You are almost there, buddy. Happy for you. I would ask the other forum members to chime in as to how long it might take to get rfe or interview notice. I am still in i360 pending stage, filed in Nov 2019. Hoping it's 23 months to approval like you. Did you get any RFE before i360 approval? 

I received this Last year in July. Still waiting for a movement! Congressman said my case is waiting to be scheduled to the interview but like I said its been more then one year after i Received this and still nothing !

Wow. Thank you for the info. 

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.

Yes, applied in 2019.

 

and yes, I sent them the pics and friends’ affidavits initially, but I have added new ones to my RFE with more details. PS. they state that the pictures are not enough because they capture only very specific moments.

 

Oh, and they have mentioned that the affidavits have not mentioned any furniture in my residence. Like what???

 

I am absolutely terrified and think they might deny. :( 

 

 

I had the same rfe. What I did was the write a detailed affidavit stating how we met, when we got married,  when we moved in together,  how the house look, type of furniture in the rooms and how many rooms the house had. I also send more pics of different places that we went to and what the occasion was. I also explained why we didn't have any joint bank account and why I didn't have any utilities in my name. It's not difficult at all.

Thanks for sharing. That’s what I’ve basically done with mine. + my/our mutual friends wrote additional affidavits with the same type of details.  It’s not difficult at all as long as it’s enough for the IO. 


how long did they take to make their decision after you sent them the RFE response? When did you get approved? Thanks.

 

I have seen several statements on this forum saying that it’s impossible to get approved without at least 1 piece of primary financial evidence :( 

That's not true. My ex husband and I had no finances together because he controlled everything. I wrote about that in the affidavit that I wrote
