Hey guys, My GC arrived today.  I can't even explain the feeling, but I just know that I'm going to start living life. My only advise for you is to be patience and believe in god.  🙏

Hey I didn’t get an receive notice it was forwarded but no receipt notice I sent this in august. And I just sent a letter asking if it was received but no reply yet. 

I changed my address with USPS as well as with USCIS by sending them letter, I am not sure which one worked but i am getting my mails now, I missed my 1st PF but i do not need it anyways, Try to change your address with both and also most effective way is to contact your congressmen. Good luck

Congratulations to everyone receiving approvals, really happy to see you all getting through, 

 

@TBoneTX It seems USCIS reads your jokes chuckles, says "that was good one" and hit approve for case they are working on, These are not jokes, these are magical spell you are doing to get us approval, not less than angel/wizard. God bless you,

Just received a letter from my lawyer that I’m having my I485 interview in 3 weeks. I’m happy the journey is going to an end but nervous as well, was expecting RFE for medical. Please can you tell me all what I will need to prepare for this interview. Thanks 🙏🏽

Ohhhh I am on the same page! But your case moves so much faster than mine! 

On October 8th I got " Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview" and ever since, no updates, the interview isn't scheduled yet, so idk.

But I am nervous too! 

from what I read you just need your Medical History and the interview should go smoothly; they should be asking only about the I485 form, like the questions yes/no, to proof you are a good person. But if anybody actually went o the interview and can give us some advice i would really appreciate it 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hello guys,

 

just received this update, anyone have an idea what can it be? A month ago I sent my answer for request for more evidence. 
 

thank you

C31 work permit or EAD approval. This means your I360 vawa is approved. Can take up to 2 months for vawa approval update online. Congratulations! Please let us know your timeline - When you filed, Rfe dates etc

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.

Congrats!

Make sure you have copies of marriage,divorce, certs as well as all EADs and tax returns. If anything changed from time  of application to interview like employment; write it on a piece of paper and hand over to the IO before the interview starts. Otherwise historically, you’ll be asked yes/no questions and nothing about the abuse. And have your updated medicals with you!
Good luck to you!
