Hi everyone, 

 

Its been more than 30 months now since I applied for I-360 (march 2019) 3 prima facia and yet no update. I made inquiry via the senator's office and the stated pending security check. Has anyone ever been in my situation and still get approved?  

26 months since I applied (360)and I got an email from Senator’s office. Uscis told them same security check is pending.i also have 3 PF so far .

Hey,

 

Does the letter that come with c31 EAD say anything at all about the approval status? Sth like “.. issued based on the approved i360 petition etc.”

 

I’ve received my c31EAD last week (has been delivered to the lawyers office, so I haven’t seen it yet) and curious whether it actually means approval.

 

thanks!

if you look under the c31 category - it says principal beneficiary  of an approved VAWA self petition.

Hello, 

For those who are scared to travel with Advance Parole like I was, I can tell it’s safe to travel with AP. I went to my home country a month ago and successfully came back two days ago to JFK airport in New York.

Don’t be afraid and go see your family. Seeing loved ones was the best feeling ever! 

How you tell how long people can stay outside of states using advance parole? 

Is it still safe even if you overstay visa?

Exactly.. but my lawyer doesn’t say I am yet until I receive the official notice. I think it’s fair for her to say yes when things are 100% clear lol.

@sandranj or anyone who has expedited EAD. what happens next please and thank you . I do not know what this means. 

If they decide to expedite they will issue the EAD immediately. They said an officer was assigned to check your case (form I-765).

It is Sunday, and therefore time for our approval-evoking*, progress-evoking* Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

     *that is, if correlation = causation

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

"BANGIDY BANG BANG BANG!"

 

Rick enlisted in the Army and was sent on basic training.  When they were handing out rifles, he was at the back of the line, and they ran out just before they got to him.  The Sergeant gave him a stick and told him to pretend that it was a rifle.
 

So Rick went running through the mock battle pointing his stick and yelling, "Bangidy bang bang bang!  Bangidy bang bang bang!"

 

The next week, they started bayonet training.  Again, Rick was last in line, and again they ran out just before they got to him.  The Sergeant told him to pretend that he had a bayonet at the end of his pretend rifle.

 

So Rick went running through the mock battle with his stick, yelling, "Bangidy bang bang bang!  Stabidy stab stab stab!"

 

The unit finished basic training and got called up to go into real battle. Rick eventually found himself on a landing craft, hitting the beach.  Unfortunately, they had never given him a real rifle, and he still had his stick.  He was wondering what in the world he was going to do.

 

As the unit fought its way inland, Rick mindlessly pointed his stick at an enemy soldier standing on a hill and yelled, "Bangidy bang bang bang!"  To his amazement, the enemy soldier fell over dead.  He aimed his stick at another and yelled, "Bangidy bang bang bang!"  That enemy soldier also fell over dead.

 

Rick ran madly along, pointing his stick at any enemy soldier he saw, yelling, "Bangidy bang bang bang!"  Enemy soldiers were dropping like flies.  An enemy jumped out from a bush beside him.  Rick pointed his stick and yelled, "Stabidy stab stab stab!"  The enemy fell, writhing in pain.

 

Suddenly, an enemy soldier came walking slowly along a path.  Rick carefully aimed his stick at the soldier and yelled, "Bangidy bang bang bang!"  However, the enemy soldier just kept coming.  Rick again yelled, "Bangidy bang bang bang!"  Nothing.  As the enemy soldier got closer, Rick cried out, "Stabidy stab stab stab!"  But the enemy soldier ran right over him, crushing him.

 

As Rick lay dying, he heard the enemy soldier muttering, "Tankidy tank tank tank."

 

 

Hahahahaha.

Hi family!

 

My I-360 was received mid-May 2021 and my attorney didn't ask me to get medicals. Does this mean I'll receive a RFE and won't be able to get a Prima Facie?

If so, I would like to get my medicals and send them asap to USCIS, but I have no clue how this works. How can I find doctors/medical centers that offer these services?

 

Thanks in advance and have a beautiful day!

Yes you will receive a RFE later on to have a medical examination.

Hi everyone,

thanks in advance 

You need to be naturalized to sponsor your parents.

Hi folks! 
My Vawa was approved on 06/21 and a week ago I received RFE for my medical. I will send it next week but what is the next step? Schedule interview? Or they are going to email my GC without interview? 

In your case they probably will send your  green card without interview.

Good Monday!

 

I was reading through the old posts and found this

 

 

Now I feel very worried. USCIS could deny to hold my AOS in absentia? If that happens, I would then lose my EAD and Advance Parole that I just got (after 10 months)? 

 

Feeling so discouraged right now....

That has always been stated. You just have to file a new I-485, I765, and I131. You will be fine.
