I went for my interview today… went in 30 mins prior. My lawyer supposed to come with me but she came late. So I went in without her. The IO asked if I want to wait for her but I told her there is no need. She asked my date of birth, parents name, if I have kids, I had two, the second one just one month ago. She asked for their birth certificates, then my divorce decree, yes or no question and that was it. She later gave me a paper that after background check, they will make a decision. 
After 10 mins, I got update that my card is being produced. I’m so happy this is the end of the journey since 2016 I got married to my abuser . Filed Vawa 2018. 
i wish everyone all the best.

Hello  good afternoon everyone . Can you tell me one thing please my cousin been here since 2015 he come with the visitor visa renewal apply his asylum that time is there anyway he can apply is asylum can you tell me the way please I will really appreciate for that thank you very much.

You question is confuse, but if you are asking if he can file for asylum now, the person must file an asylum application within one year of his/her arrival to the U.S. To overcome the asylum-one year filing deadline he must prove the occurrence of extraordinary circumstance otherwise the USCIL will deny his application.

Bring your marriage certificate, and if you are divorced ,or if you were divorced before, bring the divorce decree as well. If you have kids bring a copy of their birth's certificate, if your spouse was divorced before bring a copy of his divorce decree.

Noted! I don’t have my divorce decree yet. I just filed it a few months ago, so I’ll just bring a copy of whatever I have to prove it’s been filed. That would be good, right? Thank you so much for all that you do, @sandranj!!! 💚💚💚

Can i get some attention on my post ? 😕  @FeDaniela @Demise @Optimistic1986 @Stillwinning!!!😊

Hi! Where in NY are you? I have found Rep. Grace Meng and her team very helpful. Aside from sending them an email, I suggest you also call your district representative and talk to them and explain your situation. I got my VAWA Approved in March 2021 and interview was scheduled last month for Nov. 17.

Hi guys..

I have a question, my vawa approved april of this year, on October 6 I sent a renewal for my I-765 (c9) to vsc 38 river rd saint Albans vt. I however still have not received a receipt notice. My question is did I send it to the right location?

Thank you, continued blessings to everyone on their journey 

That's where I sent it too. Based on the filing addresses listed on USCIS website. Inquire through senator or congressman. 

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.
