Hi all,

I sent my completed I360 to my lawyer yesterday for them to check over and send in for me. I will have my I485 interview (originally scheduled for the i130) in a few days and I will ask them to put my I485 in abeyance. Will they ask me for proof of when my lawyer mailed in the I360? I was going to tell them I am requesting for it to be held in abeyance Bec my lawyer will be filing the I360 for me, will the immigration officer ask me for anything else before they will approve the request for abeyance?

Thanks for clarifying that. So @FeDaniela I live in Queens so I’m assuming it’ll be forwarded to Queens office in that same bldg?

Your I-797c Receipt only serve as an extension only for your Work permit NOT for the Advance parole,  if you travelled outside USA you will not be able to reenter. 

Thank you so much for your answer!
 

It’s a little awkward that they give you a combo card and when it expires the extension is only valid for the work permit but they make the rules..

 

Not to say that right now it’s taking so long the renewal that almost for sure your work permit is going to expire.

I don’t know you but I hate going to places and having to explain with the paper receipt that the card is still valid ...

Hello folks,

My VAWA case is pending since April 17th 2019. A few weeks ago, my congressman contact with USCIS about the status of the my case, and here's the response from USCIS;

'' Your constituent's case is pending security checks. We are unable to determine at this time when the review process for your constituent's Form I-360 VAWA will be completed .We are striving to resolve these issues as soon as possible. ''

Folks, what does 'security check' mean and how long does it take? Do you think I should contact the senators ( not congressman) and is there anything I can do in this situation? It's been 26 months and still waiting.

* I have regularly received a Prima Facie certificate almost every 6 months and have never asked for an RFE.

It happened to a few people on this forum. It doesn't mean anything bad in terms of your chances for approval, but unfortunately it does mean that your case will most likely be delayed significantly past estimated processing times. Just hang in there.

Just google "find your representative" and go through the first link. Call the local Dallas office of your district's rep.

Since you have a lawyer this sounds like a question (s)he should answer. I do think they may ask you for proof that you are planning to file, bring copies of the documents you will be sensing with your I360 application like personal statement, any police records, witness affidavits, therapist conclusion etc.
