I saw several  January 2020 case approved in another forum. 

Please tell us which forum so I and others can join as well. 

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.

@TBoneTX Couldn't resist to post joke here. Missed you when read this joke. 

 

Hi Family, hope everyone doing great. 

Have a question, My EAD/AP expiring in May 2022. I will be filing renewal in Jan 2022. I filed my VAWA in May 2020. Now, If my VAWA will get approved before C-09 EAD/AP approval, will they reject my EAD/AP with C09? If they reject my renewal and VAWA will get approve, can i still file for renewal of C09 later? C-31 do not provide AP. TIA, god bless you, May god give strength to all of us in process. 

 

Bless you all @sandranj, @Demise, Perk, @shiva, and all those helping us in need, are gods favorite child. ❤️

If your VAWA gets approved while C09 EAD/AP pending. Then they will only deny your EAD application not the AP. 

You can always file for C09 EAD/AP even after the VAWA approval.

Does anyone know how long it takes for i485 after VAWA approval in New York? I intend to fly on advance parole for 3 weeks at the end of December. Should I not travel on the off chance my interview is scheduled while I am away? My VAWA was approved April 2021. Thanks

You should be fine since you say it’s just for 3weeks. Keep an eye on your status for any updates. 👍🙂

yes you can always request C09.

If you did not request C-31 then they will not send you. You will only get VAWA approval.

Hello guys,

 

Yesterday I had my 1-130 interview. The immigration officer (a woman) treated me like I was a criminal since the first second...it was dehumanizing...

 

I have filed my I-360 but I did not have the receipt notice yet. The officer told me, "we will hold the file for 30 days". I am not sure if that means that it is ok, that I am nit loosing my EAD. When I asked her to clarify, she got very upset.

 

I have a flight booked for my country next week (I have not been able to go back in years), but now I am scared that they will revoke my documents while I am away.

Basically, I am not sure what happened yesterday. Can someone clarify?

 

Thank you

You cannot travel without AP, EAD has nothing to do with traveling outside the US
