Hi Everyone,

 

please what happened next when your expedition request is denied?

I request through my congresswoman office.

Just curious to know.

 

Thanks

 

they will process your case as normal.

If you still think they made mistake by not approving the expedite request. You can call again and let them know your situation. 

I know someone called for AP to expedite, first they declined then that person called again and second time they approved it.

Good night guys.

Does anyone know if it’s normal to receive the receipt for only my I-131 when I filed for a combo card renewal? (I usually receive both receipts together)

 

[God’s Grace27 4]

Good day everyone, I’ve just recently submitted my vawa application along side a new form I-765 and 131, I was only able to receive my AP document while my form 765 has been on pending from my previously filled form 765&131 I requested for my I-485 to be placed in abeyance before filing my vawa since I couldn’t attend my AOS interview. I would like to know if I can still get EAD from my previous C09 application now that my form I-485 case will be open or I just have to wait for the new EAD & AP I filled with my vawa to be approved? 
Thanks

Out of curiosity, if one person (still married to USC) already holds a C09 EAD due to pending I-130 and I-485, files for 360 and holds 485 in abeyance, and while waiting for 360 to be approved, he or she gets divorced from USC spouse, and his or her existing C09 ead expires, does he or she renew it under C09 and get it immediately (subjected to processing time) or wait for 360 to be approved to get EAD based on C31?

Once you have pending i-485. you will get c09 if you applied for EAD separately. Since your i-485 is pending and i-765 pending as well from your marriage. You will get c09. 

 

Even if you have pending VAWA and pending i-485. you can always request c09 EAD.

No it will not expire as long as i-485 remains active/pending. 

Since they hold your i-485. you are good. your EAD is valid until the expiration date on that card.

hello dear forum, please help me with ideas

 

My vawa was approved in march 2020, I sent my i485 in dec 2018.
My new lawyer sent my ead renewal mistakenly to the chicago lockbox instead of vermont services, what can I do? I already called uscis they told me to write an email to the lockbox@uscis.dhs.gov email, I explained my situation in the email and I still havent heard from them, lawyer office will have a conference call with uscis and me on monday, but how can I know for sure that the USCIS team in chicago will transfer my renewal package to vermont? what can I do please help?
I cannot afford to lose my job because of a law office mistake, should I change lawyer now that I still have 5 months until my current ead card expires?  
I havent received the i797 with the 180 days extension.   I am just in need of new ead and approval of i485

Send a new package to Vermont

In case of pending AOS, c9 Is the correct category.. c31 ead comes after vawa approval and may take so much time..

Congratulations to each and everyone, it's been a while, but am doing good that's to the most high God, He has taken us through the pandemic . 

Just wanted to bring up a situation  to you all my VAWA family, 

I volunteer at a shelter for abused women and children,  there is this mother who got their GC through vawa, so she went through the therapy and she is good now. She got married just 2 months before she got their Citizenship.

Last week she went for the interview and the IO asked about it. And told her she can not do that. So she was not granted the Citizenship, she was told they will get back to her.

 

So please if you plan to be a citizen,  get it first before you get remarried, you never know who you will meet at the interview

This doesn't make sense, my attorney told me that re-marriage before green card adjudication (after VAWA I-360 approval) can be somewhat of a problem (although there are no hard rules against it), but citizenship? @Demise  and @sandranj can you please chime in? Anybody with "vawa based" citizenship please chime in as well. This would impact so many people.

I guess you can get married and wait for the 5yrs and not 3 years, in this case she went after 3 years.

Are you saying that re-marriage prolongs the 3 year time post vawa based green card approval to 5 years for citizenship? @Demiseplease help by quoting relevant immigration law supporting or contradicting such, if any.
