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


Hi @gramercy, do we just count the business days? I got my Green Card approved on July 31 2020. Can i send in my naturalization documents on April 30th 2023 ?

yes that is true. It could be anything .

 

Just make sure keep renewing your EAD on timely manner so you do not struggle or loss your job. 

Do I just submit a fresh I-765 and attach a copy of my I-485 receipt notice (so that the renewal is free)?

 

My EAD expires August 18, 2023. Does that mean the earliest date I can submit my application is Feb 19, 2023 (exactly 180 days before 8/18/23)? I am on C09 category, does that mean I get automatic 180 day extension from Aug 18 2023 while waiting for USCIS to re-approve my EAD renewal?

Hi guys,

I was a silent reader and this blog helps me a lot to decrease my anxiety.

I’ve decided to share my timeline since I have news regarding my case. 

Here it is:
Filed I485 and I360 - November/2019

First Prima facie - January/2020

RFE- November/2021 (USCIS requested proof of good moral character from my birth country)

New Card is being produced I360 - 03/02/2022

I have no idea what this card is about since my EAD is valid until 2023. Any clue?
I hope my contribution helps. 
Wish you guys all the best 🙏🏼 ❤️
It’s not an easy journey

Congratulations!

It's a C31 card for vawa approval. 

You will be using those two cards and be renewing them till your I485 gets approved. 

My advice is to be going mostly with C09 category,  for it's a combo(EAD/AP) card.

So I have a question since our marriage were terminated due to abuse can we get married again before becoming a US citizen and do we have to submit our tax return with the us citizenship 

The person can get married AFTER VAWA approval, but you can't sponsor your spouse for 5 years or until you become a U.S Citizen if the person is not a green card holder or U.S Citizen.

 

Yes you need to submit your  tax return when you apply for Citizenship.

Hi All, does anyone know how long after getting my Green card through Vawa I can file for naturalization? I got mine in July 2020

 

Thanks

If your spouse is a U.S you are eligible for naturalization after 3 years, if the spouse is a green card holder you have to wait 5 years.

Hey family, does anyone get approved without police report? 
 

and if your abuser called ice on you is it good evidence for vawa approval? 
 

 

I didnt have / file any police report. Got approved in 24 months (see my timeline below if it helps), no RFE. Please google VAWA evidentiary standards to get a better idea. 

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.
