VAWA, Part 25

[shiva32 240]

Hi all, I just submitted out of normal processing time request online for my I485 ( I485 petition filed in feb 2020, VAWA approved nov 2021). The online case system didn't let me submit until I chose the "I485 - other" category for my service request. So when filling I485 form they list the categories for qualifying for Green card, and VAWA is listed under family based I485 category on the I485 form. But apparently that is not the case when filing the "out of normal processing time inquiry", I tried to file the service request under "I485- family based" category but the system would not let me do that. Hence I wanted to inform everyone, in case anyone's I485 is out of normal processing times posted by uscis and they want to submit an out of normal processing time service request. 

 

Also FYI, my ex never submitted I130, my I485 was submitted a few months after I sent I360 petition, and I selected the VAWA box in the I485. maybe that has something to do with the service request issue. I know of others on the forum who were able to send service request using the "I485 family based" category for the service request.

Today my I-485 status changed to "New Card Being Produced"!!!

 

I'm still in shock, I wanted to scream and jump and cry and laugh, all at the same time.

I still can't believe it. I'm so used to refreshing my tracker app every day, multiple times a day, for the past 5 years that I caught myself doing it again now.

 

I just wanted to thank you all so much for the support. I'm not the most active member of this forum but I've been following it for some time now and just wanted to thank everyone who shared their personal stories and experiences here. Every single one of you were extremely important to me and I found strength in all your words when I had none left. 

 

And for everyone who's reading this post and still waiting - You came a long way already, just by being here. You are SO brave and SO strong. I know how hard this wait is but your journey is coming to an end soon!!! If anyone needs to chat, my inbox is open, always.

Big congratulations 🎶🎶🎶🔊🔊🔊🔊

Praises and honor be to our God almighty. 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

I also received my RFE for medical last Saturday. 

Hopefully,  I will be mailing everything before this month end due to Covid-19 vaccines. (3 weeks of useless waiting between the first and the second shot 😔😔😔😔)

It means your c31 work permit issued (soon you will get the approval letter for i-360). I think your AOS (i-485) is moved to NBC from Vermont center for “faster process”.

It seem they now issue the approvals letter for I-360 within days. Card production on the 08/06 and now approval notice on 8/9. Got the below update on my case today.

Contact your senator or congressman. VSC doesn't respond to online service requests.

Thanks, @Demise. Always happy to hear from you. My I485 is already in St. Louis field office. VAWA I360 was approved in Nov 2021 and I was notified via congressional inquiry in march 2022 that the case is awaiting interview scheduling in St. Louis field office.

Hey vj family, went to my i485 interview today. The officer just asked me my name and name of my ex wife and yes/no question.

i didn’t get vaccinated because I am allergic to all vaccines and my doctor was ok with that and did my medical like that and found out I didn’t need vaccines for hepatitis b and measles because my body is immune. So got 0 vaccine. The officer was nice and check my medicals to be ok. And said I will expect the decision in 2 weeks.

 

Reminder : I was in removal proceedings in court because of asylum since 2016

December 2017 filed i130 

October 2019 filed i360 after divorce 

november 2020: filed i485 in court and another copy sent to USCIS Irving Texas.

March 2021: got 204c fraud on my i130 

november 2021: got NOID on i360 because of that 204c.

january 2022 responded to NOID

February 2022: i360 approved  

March 2022 :my lawyer filed motion to terminate proceedings in court and same month motion terminated by judge.

-May 2022 my lawyer wrote a letter to my local office to schedule me for interview and attached copy of i485 and i360 approval and letter of judge terminating my proceedings 

-July 2022 got interview letter i485 but the status online didn’t change at all and today interview that was easy and officer was nice

Congrats on your case transfer, How long did it take for your case to get to your local office. my Vawa was approved on May 3rd 2022, but my I-485 is still saying fingerprint were applied as of Jan 29 2020, it was filled filed in November 2019, after I filled Vawa in May 2019.

any idea, how long will I need to wait before hearing anything on my I-485, I tried to inquire through Senator but they said, it hasn't been long enough since my Vawa was approved, for them to adjudicate my I-485 so they can not inquire on my behalf.

Two to three months,  your file gets transferred from Vermont to NBC or local office. 

Most of the times, you don't get any updates of the transfer.

Congratulations for your interview. 

Just eager to know how it goes.

Curious also about having the green card with Zero vaccines.

Once again, congratulations in advance the your approval.

Keep us updated.
