It is Wednesday -- time for our lucky Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

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

MORE SCHOOL JOKES

 

Teacher:  Barney, you aren't paying attention.  Are you having trouble hearing?

Barney:  No, teacher; I'm having trouble listening.

 

"Teacher, I don't think that I deserve a zero on this test."

"Neither do I, but it's the lowest grade I can give you."

 

Teacher:  At your age, I could name all the Presidents, and in the right order.

Student:  Well, sure -- but at that time, there were probably only 5 of them.

 

Principal:  This is the 5th time this week that you've been in my office.  What do you have to say for yourself?

Student:  I'm glad it's Friday!

 

Teacher:  Did you take a bath today?

Student:  Why?  Is one missing?!

 

School Nurse:  Can I take your pulse?

Student:  Why?  Haven't you got one of your own?

 

School Nurse:  It's well-known that exercise kills germs.

Student:  Yes, but how do you get the germs to exercise?

:P

My friend mistakenly picked c31 for work authorization category. How can he correct it to c09 because he also filed i485

I think that he should file a new form I-765  and choose C09 category along with form I-131.

If not, he will wait till vawa is approved before he can be able to work. 

Many people have done that on this thread and got approved C09 category before vawa adjudication.

My 360 was approved early June. Just received rfe for birth certificate form nbc. My medical expired but didn’t get rfe for that. I guess local office will ask for medicals through rfe or interview once nbc sends it there.

I got approved in July so I should hear something soon, in the Uscis website itself it says that nbc sends rfe as well. But I don't see how nbc will transfer again the file to local office to send rfe. Mine was in local office and they transferred to nbc now so hoping they send me rfe for Medical's.

Uscis is such a mystery.

My attorney informed me that she received the AOS interview schedule, it’ll happens on September.

However, I moved out of state, so she gave me 2 options:

- Fly to the state the interview was set up, but there is a risk that USCIS will deny to interview because I changed my address to other state.

- She will reschedule and move the interview to my current state.

What should I decide?

 

My timeline:

- 01/2020: Submitted whole packages

- 03/2020: RFE

- 03/2022: i360 approved

- 08/2022: interview scheduled.

Hello all, I am extremely grateful for all the ideas and support for my missing RFE situation. My ducking lawyer finally found the RFE today. It was delivered to her old firm, she changed her firm a year ago and never updated the address with USCIS. RFE is for medicals only, it was issued in ducking May 2022, three ducking months ago. Anyway I got medical exam done yesterday and will send the sealed packet when doc gives it to me on Friday or Monday. This group is worth its weight in platinum. I bow down to everyone who contributes and keeps this place alive and thriving. 

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.

Yeah uscis works in way that they alone understand how they operate. 

But, for all what I have noticed through this thread, New York  always takes too much time to adjudicate forms I-485.

So, keep in mind to exercise a lot of patience, specifically when it comes to new york field office 🙏

Whaooohhhh that's great. 

Your field office should had updated your online case status since day one. 

You should have started making inquiries to get the RFE if it was done properly. 

Thank God that you got to be aware of through your congressperson.

Your interview has been waived. 

It shall be well. 

Congratulations in advance 😉😀🙏🙏
