Hi ALL, I need advice from the group on how to move forward? I’m losing hope on this case. I’ve been divorced since 2018 and I’m super scared to marry someone else that will petition for me due to the harrowing experience from my previous marriage. I believe I have a good case and didn’t want to commit to any relationship that will jeopardize this case. It’s been 3 years and I’m losing hope. 
 

I applied for EAD renewal in May and I’m at risk of being out of work if the card doesn’t arrive this month. How much can an attorney do at this point? 

 

 

Hello double. We are In the same situation and you know it. The only think a lawyer can do at this point is inquire on your case with the same tool you have at disposition.

 

Have you contact your senator or the ombudsman? Suing them would be another way but I don’t think such dramatic step it’s necessary.

Hello family, How can I notify USCIS that I don't want to use my attorney anymore  ?

 

I'm 2018 filler, no approval yet.

 

I got RFE in May 17, 2021 and I gave him all requested documents since 12 days ago but he told me that he will send it 7 days to expiration date.  I don't know why he like to delay my case.

 

Hope it's not going to affect my case if I don't use him anymore and if I represent myself  ?

 

Please I need help. 

 

 

Hello dear, 

Is it possible that your lawyer is making sure that everything is in the best shape possibile? Rushing things might cause mistakes, maybe it’s just over checking each documents. I guess would not be in his interest delaying your case! Not sure if my opinion is correct but at this point I will stick with him and keep pushing.

Hello family! Maybe someone would be interested to read this! It's the official uscis ombudsman report published on July 20th. 
Few sections are dedicated to work permit backclock, other to notice of appear in immigration court and removal proceeding. 

Also there is an extensive part about “best practice in contacting the ombudsman office” and a step by step guide! (page 15 and 92)

I just saw a post for a 10/7/19 PD approval a few pages ago. It was posted by SJLN I think. So it seems like USCIS is progressing as per their posted processing times, except for the significant number of outliers before and after us. No news on my I360 yet, I presume we will hear something in this month or the next. Let's keep everyone posted on our progress. 

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.

@sandranj

@Stillwinning!!!😊

VJ family , i need help, i have been asked to go to interview for my marriage based i just got the letter today. It is end of august. I will like to know can you please tell me what to do ? I already told uscis to hold the i485 when i applied for my vawa which was sept 2020. I am not sure i am getting interviewed also they asked me to do medicals. 

 

Please help me. I hope the letter did not go to my abusers house. I have changed the address but my old attorney still received my ead card c09 

The I-485 will still be process. USCIS is messy on putting I-485 on hold when you requested in writing when you sent it with I-360 The best way is at the interview.  I had a similar situation I file I-360 and I assume USCIS will know, but NO, Marriage interview was set anyways my Vawa was pending for 12 months already I went to the interview the Officer had no clue I had a I-360 pending my lawyer told him he requested the I-360 receipt he confirm it with his system and he say YES we have even created T5 File for you (no idea what this means) and guide how everything will proceed after that.

No, I just moved 3 times in 3 years and ended up currently being in Houston, but originally was in Tampa.

Well both of these FO ‘s have similar processing times . If they make the transfer fast you shouldn’t lose a lot of time in waiting . How long did you have to wait for your I360 approval notice after the card was issued ?
