Hi,

 

To which office Hold in Abeyance letter is sent. My interview has not been scheduled yet and the I-130 got withdrawn. Is it sent to the National Benefits Center or Local Field Office. Last I checked 2 weeks ago my case was still at NBC. Appreciate your help and prompt response. Thanks

You send the letter to the local field office.

Send a copy of the letter to the Vermont Service Office as well.

@Demise , @sandranj or someone more experimented in this family should enlighten us in case of figure.

We're learning a lot everyday though this platform. 

Kindly regards 

It goes to wherever has your I-485 at the time, so NBC in this case. @perseverance_

It is Wednesday, and therefore time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

=============================================

JUST A SMALL WHITE DOT (?)

 

A kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out something exciting and relate it to the class the next day.

 

When the time came to present what they'd found, the first little boy whom the teacher called on walked to the front of the class, took a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, and sat back down.

 

Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was.

 

"It's a period," he replied.

 

"I can see that," said the teacher, "but what is so exciting about a period?"

 

"Darned if I know," said the little boy, "but this morning my sister was missing one, my mother fainted, my dad had a heart attack, and the boy next door joined the Navy!"

Thanks @Demise I'm not completely sure where it is. Should I send it to both NBC and Field office, and also to the Vermont Service Center along with the VAWA package? thank you

I think that, if it is send to NBC, they will forward it to your local office if it's no more under their custody.

But to make it more safer, you can also do as you said by sending another one to your local office for you have nothing to lose. 

As for Vermont,  @Demise should know more better. 

Keep on!!!!!!

Hi @Demise@sandranj@TBoneTX

 

I hope you are doing well

 

I had an GC interview based on my vawa approval on 12/21/2021. The officer is very nice and friendly. She took 1 hour to go through the I-485 form and security questions with me then she said that the interview was done and she will contact us if she needs something and if my case is approve, I can see the approval from case status online. However,  my case hasn't been updated until now and I'm very worried. 

Do you think this is normal or do you have any thoughts to share with me?

 

Thank you very much

National Benefits Center's mailing address is:

850 NW Chipman Road Suite 5000

Lee's Summit, MO 64063

 

Vermont Service Center's mailing address is:

USCIS - Vermont Service Center

There is no harm in sending it to multiple places (NBC + field office) but only the NBC has jurisdiction in your case.

It's been two days like right before the holidays during a time when most people mentally check out of their job. You will get approved once your case crosses a manager's desk and they actually issue the decision. Most ground level IOs don't have the power to straight up approve or deny a case and they just pass it onto the next level up with their observations.
