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 can contact your congressman for that. 

Read through this forum how people dealt in similar situation.

Please go through your local senator / congressperson. They have official immigration channels to uscis / VSC and VSC will find it harder to misplace congressional inquiries. And yes, you are their "constituent" so its your right to ask senator / congressperson for help, even though you are not a citizen or green card holder. They wont charge you anything. 

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 think you can send the inquiry yourself on the USCIS website. I saw there was an inquiry option. btw the processing time for i360 at Vermont is still August 2019, you should probably wait few months and maybe you will get a decision in few months when they reach November or December 2019 cases

@sandranj

hello family,

Sandra @sandranj

 

 

Hi Sandra, happy new year!  Thanks for helping us in the vawa thread, I would love to have your opinion on when should I see the approval on my i485 after I sent the i693 to uscis queens.

 
 

My vawa was approved in march 2020, filed i485 on dec 2018, on nov 29 2021 I received RFE for i693, got them done quick,sent to uscis quicker and the i693 arrived to USCIS Queens Office on December 9 2021,

 

This week will be 4 weeks since my I693 arrived to USCIS.

 
 

can you please let me know by when do you estimate uscis queens will approve my i485, and how long should I wait before I do a follow up? I heard that 2 months after uscis receives the rfe response is a good time to follow up on why they havent replied to my rfe documents

could I do a follow up callling uscis, would you recommend me to contact my congresman too, or what other method would your recommend me?

 

Please let me know

OMG.

USCIS processing time went back to July from August.

Now they are taking 23 to 30 months.

 

Honestly they are working backwards. This July 2019 is there forever. 

they keep on changing the time it is excruciating

Congrats and don't die, join the Navy, Chair Force, or the Coast Guard if you can, you still get to naturalize under the military provisions with much less personal risk than the Army or Marines.

Contradictions without citations only make you look dumb.

Do you guys know if we’re let go from work because USCIS didn’t renew the EAD on time, do we get severance? 

I doubt it.  You need to read your work policies.
