Hello family, 

This is kinda unique situation and I need help. I've never seen something like my current situation on this forum so... Filed I360 Nov 12, 2019, had to update my name and got a receipt for that December 2019. Received initial PF December 2019. 

Filed I485 and I765 April 2021, got C09 in early July (super fast)

At the same time requested PF got one valid for 6 months

Nov 19 got another PF valid 6 montgs

Absolute silence from Vermont regarding I360, no RFE,  nothing.

Today my Lawfully app started blinking saying that my I485 was sent to local field office to be scheduled for interview?!

How is this even possible?

No C31, no I360 approval notice - nothing!

How long it usually takes after I360 approval for case to be transferred to field office?

So many questions, so confused!

please help

You can file I-290B after a denial to get an appeal going after denial. That being said from my reading of AAO decisions it looks like maybe 5% prevail on appeal. Most cases that get there are basically defective from the get go and there's generally no curing that.

 

That being said, USCIS won't issue a straight up denial on an I-360, you will get an RFE or a NOID (or in some cases 1 of each) to let you address any inconsistencies, deficiencies, etc before they'll deny you.

You are completely wrong On this one, 

If you file an appeal , the appeal goes to Vermont first to take another look , and sometimes they approve it after a denial,  if they are still denying,  then it goes to AAO.

Huh, I didn't know that, thanks for correcting me.

Could you please guide me on some questions they might ask?

If they try to discuss your VAWA case beyond simply confirming its approval, politely deflect questions by saying something like, "Yes, that was approved, and it makes me  [angry / scared / upset] to keep thinking back on it; what are your questions about other things, please?"

 

Good luck, and certainly report your experience to everyone here!

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(!).

(c)(9)( ).

 

You can file I-131 since it's free as long as you paid for the I-485.

 

Only things you have to submit are: Form I-765, form I-131, copy of your I-485 receipt notice, copy front and back of your last EAD.

Your vawa was approved same time as mine. But I had my interview in April of this year. They will only ask you questions that you answered already on the i485 form. They start from questions 14 and up. So just review them and make sure you answer them exactly the same as you put on the application, or they gonna quote you that you said yes to that question when you now changed it to no.
