VAWA, Part 24

[trishytrish 15]

Goodnight everyone and Happy New Year! My VAWA was approved in May 2021 and my daughters and I submitted our I-765s and I-485s in June 2021. We received the receipt notices from Vermont Service center mid June and our old biometrics we’re applied to all of our I-485s, not the I-765s, on July 29th. There has been no update since. Does Vermont process I-485s before sending them to local office? We haven’t received any transfer notices.

No point in doing medicals right now, they will first send the i693 medical deficiency/courtesy notice and then they'll send RFE for medicals if they want to skip your interview. If they want to interview you they'll send interview notice after courtesy notice. you can get your medical done after you get either RFE for medicals or interview notice. If they interview you, you just need to take the medicals with you to the interview. In case of RFE, you send medicals to USCIS after you get RFE. 

Hi, 

i received a deficiency notice for medical on Dec 23th. My VAWA EAD approval was on October 13th, 2021 and VAWA case approval was Nov 2, 2021. Please do you have an idea of what the expected time they will be reaching out again in regards to an interview notice or maybe RFE medicals.

 

thanks

Hello All,

 

I hope you all are doing great. I've been so busy at work these past few months due to staffing shortages and sometimes have to work straight 4 day shifts, juggle children's activities, but I'm so grateful to God Almighty for the opportunity.

After 3 long years, my I485 has been approved!!! What a beautiful New Year's present!! My attorney's office sent me the I693 first week in December on a Friday immediately they received it, I got my medicals done the very next Monday, received the results back on a Thursday and that same Thursday dropped it off at my attorney's office. Barely 11 days later, which was 2 days ago, I received the notification "card in production" and yesterday "your case has been approved". I normally read where people say it takes 2 months to get the notification for card production, so I was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed that it came so quickly. Being the daughter of The Most High God SURELY has its perks, it grants me VIP status wherever I go, thank you Jesus!! My Father in heaven, the creator of heaven and earth, I am SO PROUD to be your daughter 🥳 🙏🙌.

I just got home from work, so if I don't respond to messages immediately please bear with me as I'm probably passed out on my couch :-), but I will respond as soon as I can.

Jet setting, let's get it!!

 

Thank you all and may you be blessed now and always.

Hell everyone I’m so confused at this moment it’s been a while since my vawa approved. I didn’t have an interview as yet I call up uscis thinking I’ll get an info pass appointment on hey say an offices will call me back however the officer call me and he ask me for al my information I give him an he say I have to write to find out what’s going on with my cases he cannot give me an idea what will happen. I’m a 2017 filer my vawa approved in 2020 February. I also contacted congress person they send a letter to uscis so I just don’t know if this would be the result of not getting any updates.

Dear all, 

 

happy new year!! 🎆 I wish this year will being lots of love and success for you and your dear ones.

 

my VAWA was approved Feb. 2020. I was married to a USC and I know I’m supposed to apply for citizenship  after 3 years of being an LPR but I remember in this forum some experts said you can apply up to 6 months earlier? Or is it 3 months earlier?
 

@sandranj I am not sure if you still monitor the threads. Please advise 🙏

 

thank you all for reading & responses

Friends my case I360 is pending since November 2019. My attorney wants $350 fee for sending an inquiry to USCIS. That's a lot of money for sending an email/letter and not know if the answer?

You are almost at the end of your journey! I cant remember exactly but after you get deficiency notice, the RFE for medicals is sent within a couple of months, maybe less. once you send in the medicals after that, GC is usually processed in 2-3 weeks based on recent posts. please follow timelines posted on the forum from people who got GC recently and in future. Please post your updates and gc arrival time as well. Once again, hearty congratulations for your soon to arrive green card.

I have received a deficiency notice from NBC right after posting that message here haha, so looks like my case has finally made it to NBC. It sure will, we are almost there! ❤️

@Zzz___1 so you got your I693 medicals deficiency notice yesterday? I got my official approval for I360 in November as well, am trying to keep track of i485 timelines.

Last week, after I posted my message about “when is the transfer going to happen”. Fingers crossed that your 485s will start moving faster 🤞🏻

Hi,

I would say do not pay him/her. You are still within normal processing time. As per USCIS VAWA is taking 22.5 to 29.5 months. 

I am December 2019. 

 

If you want to send inquire badly then i would say either write it yourself or reach out to congress/senator.  $ 350 is a rip off.
