Question for people who's green card is approved, and the interview was waived. How long after submitting your medicals did you get your green card?

All depends on the field office and the officer adjudicating your case. 

Just relaxed and  keep waiting for you are almost there. 

You have a combo EAD/AP card for now and will surely hear something from them within 60 days. 

 Having this time frame in mind will enable you to wait calmly without too much stress. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Definitely understand what you are saying, but I have been waiting since Nov 2019, and USCIS has screwed up so many times. So many little loopholes and gotchas. I want to keep tabs on them so they don't lose the medicals packet or question something else, this has happened so many times during my H1b and later VAWA journey. And I genuinely need my green card asap for work and personal reasons. They need to know that someone is paying close attention. I am not going to wait 60 days, enough is enough. Will file mandamus writ if I don't hear from them within 30 days.

You will definitely hear from them before that.

This time frame is just a means of avoiding some unnecessary stress. 

Which you all the best and a speedy approval. 😉

Just because they sent an RFE does not mean they will waive interview.  They can still schedule you for an interview, it is up to the IO.  Also, filing writ is being ridiculous. You will still have to wait to have your file pulled and transferred to the have the writ adjudicated in court which is longer than the 60 days you are complaining about.

I really appreciate the advice, I need all the data I can get, helps me plan. As far as I understand, USCIS commonly adjudicates the case very quickly if a writ is filed, to avoid dealing with court. @RKE please chime in on your mandamus experience. At the very least, it creates a higher level of scrutiny, and it reflects poorly on the officer in question that the I485 has been pending more than 9-10 months after VAWA approval, and more than 2 years after I-485 was filed. My EAD renewal was approved within one month after I filed an out of normal processing time request.

I finally received the RFIE. It’s for medicals and form 864 W. I’m confused about how to fill out part 2 of form 864 W. Should I choose 1(c) or 1(d)? I’m not a widower, FYI. 
 

 

 

When did your vawa got approved? did you receive rfe from nbc? my vawa was approved 2 months ago and i485 is at nbc now also from nyc so trying to get timeline

Vawa approved March 2020

RFE from NBC for birth certificate in April 2021 (I think)

Then RFIE for medical and 864-W from Brooklyn FO this month

So did get deficiency notice ??

No, it wasn't a deficiency notice. I included medicals when I filed everything in 2018 - so I think the medicals were expired. I just mailed them the new medicals today.

So they just issued straight another rfe for Medical got it, I m trying to figure because my i485is at nbc now and congress told me they could either send rfe approval or interview notice

September 2020. Since yours is within the processing timeline you were able to request for it to speed up?

I didn't request to speed up the case, mine was for non delivery mail. I never received any paper from uscis when i file my i-360, so i inquary thru my congressman on feb 2022 and on may they got my mail, since then they send every 3 months an inquary to know how my case is going. 
 

you got any prima facies?

work permit?

RFE?

@shiva32

As you know, I am in the same shoe as yours.

I sent my rfe in early July but haven’t heard anything yet. 
 

I understand how you would feel because I became also a bit impatient after the response. However, based on my research for the last couple months, there is no specific timeline that FO/ IO must finish their job after the rfe even if we feel it’s unfair.

 

I believe all the advice from people who are sharing their experiences and knowledge generously here is very valuable. So do what you can and think right thing to do. But also what we need to do might be really surrendering in a way. Focus on what you can and what you have, don’t loose hope it will be done sometime soon. 
 

Hope everyone can hear good news soon…! We all are on the same boat. At least, not alone anymore..!

Out of curiosity, do you think I can get my i-360 approved and have my I-485 (currently held in abeyance) approved all before the 2024 election cycle? Or at least by January 2025?
 

i submitted my I-130 and I-485 Dec 2020

Abeyance request for I-485 submitted and received on Nov 2021 

i-360 was also submitted and received on Nov 2021.

 

currently on C09 from my initial I-765 when filed I-485 that is set to expire august 2023. Can I submit for renewal in February 2023?

 

have one prima facie on hand since April 2022
