Do you have an idea of when could that be?

like an estimate 

2-3 months at the most, probably sooner than that. Based on prior timelines posted in the last year on this forum. Please keep us posted on updates. Also please let us know your field office. Thanks.  

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.

I just had my interview at the Chicago field office. Interview lasted about 10 minutes with only yes or no questions.

Officer said he needs to review the file one more time and handed me a paper.

I guess it’s the waiting game now.

He will present that file to his supervisor. 

Hopefully by tomorrow you will hear a good news. 

Best of luck.

I did apply after 2 years and 9 months. It is mandatory to have proof of your marital status either the marriage certificate or divorce decree, if you don't submit it and it is on the list of documents to bring to the interview.

Please find the memo in this link. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/memos/sec319a012705.pdf

 

Congratulations

  I'm 2018 October filer but no approval yet. I got another 6 months Prima Facie today.  USCIS asked for REF in May 2021 and I responded August 2021. Case is now in Security Background check  stage since 2021 August.

 

Please When do you think I can get approval for USCIS to renew my PF ?

Hello Everyone,

 

I wanted to share my news with you. I had a very lousy citizenship interview on 2/15/2022  despite passing the test and answering all questions correctly the officer was VERY rude and unpleasant. She questioned my eligibility and insisted on changing my name back to before marriage  I explained that my SSN and all papers in USA have my name after marriage (just a short version of my name, i never took my husband's) and my marriage certificate was signed by a judge and even then she did it incorrectly and refused to even let me answer the question regarding my eligibility.

She gave me a letter stating that I passed and a decision cannot be made yet.

 

I left the interview very upset and frustrated by the whole situation, just to put it politely she was a despicable person (I hope she was just having a bad day and won't subject other immigrants to this again).

 

After a week of praying for the best outcome I received the notice of approval, followed by the oath ceremony instructions for next month. Thank God 

Now I have to deal with the problem of correcting my name which I hope someone will assist me with during the oath ceremony.

 

I am thankful for this forum where I found a lot of helpful tips and support during this journey,  I added my timeline as my signature and hope it will be a useful reference to you.

Best of luck to all.

Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈 

The immigration journey is officially complete for you! We pray that each and everyone here goes through a smooth process immigration ride too.

Stay blessed!

Wednesday means that it's time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

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

SPEAK UP!

 

A man with a small pie in each of his ears burst into a doctor's office.  "I'm losing my hearing, Doc!" he cried.

 

"That's probably because you have a small pie in each ear," said the doctor.

 

"You'll have to speak up!" said the man.  "I've got a small pie in each ear!"

:P 

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Sorry for this long wait you are going through. 

At this point, only uscis knows when they will approve your I-360.

The renewal of your PF shows that they haven't forgotten your case. 

Keep on sending them through your congressperson from time to time queries about your case. 

For the main time, if you have an EAD/AP C09 category, keep your self busy with work and school and do not let your mind be destroyed by this process. 

Above all, keep trusting God for a better ENDING.
