Your joke was better than @TBoneTX jokes this week. 

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.

Like your sense of humor; but didn't get it :)  

But i don't see any letters there? Do we need to add case or something?

USCIS online account just has brief status updates, they do not make any letters / documents available online. And you cant use the online updates as proof of anything. Anything you get in the snail mail from them, do not lose any of those documents. USCIS has spent billions to transition to online filing etc, it has been a spectacular failure. They are still operating with systems and processes that are several decades old. Your statement was funny in that it assumed that USCIS had it together.

Hello everyone, Happy Monday 

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this dilemma, so I’m trying to get stuff in order. I have not spoke to my ex since I left, however I am trying to get a copy my my divorce, I’ve called everywhere I believe he could have filled it but they found nothing. Do I definitely need my divorce decree for my interview? 
Any advice is appreciated

Also, a part from my medical, what else do I need for the interview?

Are you sure he filed for divorce, or he just told you he was going to file.  If there are no records of the divorce in your state, then he did not file for divorce.

Hi,

 

they usually issue PMs for 6 mo

you should be able to find this info on the PM notice itself. If you are having issues, you may post the notice here, just make sure to hide your name, case number etc.

Hi fam! Does everyone gets prima facia? Considering I’m in NJ, will I have use of it to take health insurance or any housing assistance if I get it? Good news is my check got cashed so I’m now waiting for the receipts. 

Not everyone gets the PF 

I did not get it, was approved 

 

did you already file a 485 before 360? If so do you have your SSN and work permit? If you do, you can use that to apply for government assistance and get medical insurance.

Hello Family! I followed your advices and re-dropped my medicals at Federal Plaza this Friday! Waiting for some great news soon. Do you know how long it takes to receive approval for green card after medicals!? 

 

Also, for anyone that is going through the same process my advice is READ THE INSTRUCTIONS for dropoff 😆. Don't be like me. 

 

Mine said to mail it in to NYC office. Wonder why some are dropoff and some are mail in. Still waiting to hear back. They received it February 17th.
