Thank you @shiva32 do you know if any in specific who would be helpful? I am in westchester ny, and how long did it take you to get a receipt notice after sending?

Just use your local congressman or senator. I just sent expedite to that address couple weeks ago. no receipt notice or info from uscis yet. C9 renewal application was sent in feb 2021, receipt notice received after one month. 

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.

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. 

Thanks for the info is great! specially for the group member that are still waiting. If I am not mistaken all of us mentioned on your post are already Green card holder.  Your interview was fast considering processing time for NYC is between 14-24 months.

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.

Yes you can apply for benefits. It will not harm you.

Hi everyone, so after USCIS messed up the address of where my gc is supposed to be delivered, I finally  received my green card!!! After x times of calling: 

 

USPS and telling me to call local USPS-Kew Gardens wherein I ended up being ignored, and staff told me “ I can’t stand here all day and keep scanning”, I got ignored too when I told them that the suite number that USCIS used for the address was wrong (old) and that it has been corrected by my lawyer at USCIS and USPS. I was told “ I don’t know where your package is”

 

USCIS- I asked them to resend my card and that I have asked for an e-request too online. For form I-90 even if I have checked the box that my gc was lost, before submitting it online it still required me to pay $500plus dollars unless if I’ll file for waiver but then with waiver I can only apply via snail mail.  I have even asked for info pass appointment. It was frustrating. Lots of pointing fingers and calls. 
 

Lawyer- I begged  if he could go to post office since it was address to his name and office, he said “line was too long, couldn’t wait”. I don’t think he went anyway. 
 

I’ve reached out to Senators Gillibrand and AOC, couldn’t believe the quick response that I got compared before maybe bec election is coming? LOL. I told them about the job I lost in the hospital. So from AOC, a representative from her office asked my tracking number yesterday via email and I replied last night and viola! Mail delivered. Thank God. To all my fellow VAWA filers, don’t give up and use all the resources that you can get. Thank you for this forum. God bless us all!

Hello guys, I am in the last stages of filing my petition and I am getting very overwhelmed, to the point of being physically sick...

 

The therapist who is doing my evaluation asked me to share with her my personal statement as well as the letters my friends wrote. I told her I would but now I found this on the thread:

 

image.thumb.png.37bb4a1a7966d796fcba1589822b02f0.pngWhat is this person referring to? Is the advice on this forum not to share the personal declaration with the therapist? Can anyone help me in this? 

I would really appreciate it.
