I submitted my I-360 through registered mail and was received by VSC on 11/5/2021. I also sent my local field office in Lawrence, MA, request to hold my I-485 (I-130 based) in abeyance and it was also received the same day. It is 5 days to December 2021 and I have not received my first Notice of Action yet from VSC - any idea what's going on? Any new/recent filers have already received their notice of action?

Thanking God , what a surprise? I'm crying, I am a man. Many of you remember me. I had a 204c FRAUD CHARGE on my I-130 that came last March 2021 while my i360 was pending already. even @sandranj

Hey guys. USCIS is asking to justify a  Misrepresention on my B1 visa. On my B1 visa marital status is SINGLE but i was married. This because my cousin filed the application for me in 2014. USCIS is asking to clarify that as it appears a Misrepresention. I didn't know that my cousin did that mistake. What should do? I need to respond to my i360 NOID

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am out of the US and filled VAWA on October 25 2021. As I checked USCIS processing times, case dates moving slowly. Is it accurate? What is ACTUAL wait time for i-360 approval time for now? 

Also I still didn’t have any notice that my case has created, I hope I’ll have the case # soon. Thank you so much for your answers. 

it is taking almost 24 months minimum. It could be more depending on the case.  Vermont is taking longer than usual to issue a receipt notices lately.

they are just delayed. I have sent my renewal package of EAD and AP 2 months ago. I have not received notices yet. Vermont is taking longer than usual.

Yes i did send before the 6 month.

No i don't have to pay since i already paid for 1-485.

"No i don't have to pay since i already paid for 1-485." that doesn't sound right?  I am pretty sure EAD/AP renewals, even though you first got them through I-485, are not free? They are only free if its the initial application with I-485, no?

No EAD and AP are free renewal if you have paid for i-485.

I sent my third renewal. First two got it for free.

Approx 2 years average. Few unlucky people go as long as 3 to 4 years. Processing times published on USCIS website. 

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.

No, you don't have to pay for EAD/AP renewal as far as your initial I-485 is still pending. This is the third time I'm renewing it for free. 

I always include when filling the renewal a copy of my pending I-485 notice of action.

Happy thanksgiving to everyone!!!!! 
Finally I got my interview in December 6!!!!! Can anyone tell what kind of questions they ask?

Congratulations on your Interview. 

 

Usually it would be yes and no questions. However, it also depends on the officer, he/she may ask you about abuse that you faced. If you are not comfortable to answer those questions you can always let them know that you are not comfortable to answer those and want to speak to sup.

 

But for the most part yes or no questions.

 

Good luck!!
