Man... the weak (OK, lousy) joke was REALLY powerful!  :dance: 

Agreed, looks like an inverse correlation between number of approvals and the quality of the jokes. ;) 

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.

Can you realistically get medicaid via VAWA? I tried with an approved I-360 and was denied on the basis that I entered after 8/21/1996 and because I haven't been a "qualified alien" for 5+ years. I went digging and looks that determination was correct.

Several States allow to get medicaid with prima facie.Hundreds of my clients across the Country  got medicaid.It depends on the State  tho.

Congrats but I don't understand what card is it can you clarify? You messaged about EAD before, is it it? Or is it green card? Thank you!

Ah makes sense! And if you receive this card, does it mean your application has been approved? My EAD is based on c9 so I’m not checking the status of underlying petition for my EAD. I didn’t check that box to produce c31 EAD. 
 

or was your EAD based on c9 and then you got an automatic approval for c31?

 

sorry for amount of questions!

no worries. you can ask as many questions as you want. We are a family. 

 

For the most part once USCIS issues C31 that almost certain you case is approved. But you never know they might reverse their decision. which i have not heard so far. 

 

I do have C09 currently. However, when i filled my application i did check the box that i want a EAD. Once you do that USCIS will issue C31 whenever they approve your case. 

 

I did that since it is free plus yesterday USCIS changed the policy that they will issue C31 for 2 years.

I think, they can issued the C31 upon vawa approval only when this box was checked while filing the original form I-360 

If not,  you will be applying for it only after receiving your vawa approval receipt notice or filed the CO9 if you are submitting a new form I-485  or renewing your CO9 if you had a pending I-485.

Makes sense now! Thank you. I think I might have checked the box previously but I just don’t remember after 2 years of trying to not think about it haha. I’m currently waiting for my EAD approval based on C9. Thank you guys again!
