It is Sunday -- time for our approval-evoking (if correlation = causation), good-news-prompting, or at least certainly hilarious Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

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

PICK-UP LINES IN ANCIENT ROME

 

I'm only repeating a query that dates back to the Chaldeans, but may I ask, what is your sign?

 

I think it was Pliny the Elder -- or was it Pliny the Younger? -- who first pioneered the concept of self-introduction by way of the purchase of a libation, and it is really in homage to him that I am moved to offer to buy you a drink.

 

Cicero phrased it best, and I am merely quoting the master when I am driven to remark, "Nice bosom."

 

Just as Aeneas inquired of Dido in Book Four of the Aeneid after stating his desire to install his obelisk in her temple of love, your place or mine?

 

In the deathless words of the great philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius, of course I will respect you in the morning.

Can anyone advise me on whether or not I should renew my AP?

 

I-360 approved this week, and my AP is expiring in February 2023. I am seeing on the USCIS website that I-131 is taking appox 7 months for renewal. Do you think it is worthwhile renewing this, or just waiting it out until my I-485 is completed?

 

(I-485 filed in July 2019, held in Abeyance January 2020. NYC field office, but AR-11 filed in June 2021 change of address to Massachusetts)

 

Thanks

I would file for a renewal AP card, the wait from I-360 to approved I-485 is long 15-17 months I believe

Make the infopass. Do the medical and take it with you. 

I know couple of people. They went to infopass and hand in their medical then within few days they got approved.

I tried that by chatting with EMMA and they told me to Waite for the call within a month,I am currently waiting for the call to make an infopass appointment.

Thanks for your help.

Hello folks 

 

any help regarding N 400 naturalization process? 
 

any profiles journeys ? 

[J2020 94]

Is there any explanation why i360 would be sent to the department of state for consular processing before getting a decision? Like it was updated to “sent to the department of State” before any update of a decision like approved or denied 

 

in what case does this usually happen? 
 

 

[Double 40]

I received RFE for medicals after Vawa approval and sent the complete package last month. I just received an update for “initial review” and case has been transferred to  to another USCIS office with jurisdiction over my case. 
 

Has anyone experienced something similar?

@sandraj @Stillwinning!!!😊 and others.

Good evening house. I met a coworker at work a week ago during orientation training. we got to talk because we were both using  EAD that brought us closer as an immigrant we got talking and share our journey and immigration up and down.  She came here on k1 and she got married along the line the spouse started abusing her. she had alot of evidence against his ex but she didnt.know about vawa. I explained to her and sent her links to this group to give her insight.about the process. She came to me today during lunch, she said will prefer to remarry her new.lover who is a citizen instead of.waiting 2 yrs for vawa process. I told her K1 Visa has a clause, that she can't remarry to another person to  adjust status except for the person that brought you in as a fiance,she insisted that am wrong that her attorney said is possible to remarry and file a new application.  I mine wrong ?

She cannot adjust status based on the I-130 filed by her second spouse. She can get married, leave the Country and come to the U.S with a CR1 visa.Ask her to read  the Law,. Here is a decision from the Board Of Immigration.

A. Fiancé(e) Adjustment Based on a Second Marriage-

Matter of Alfred Kebbie SESAY, Respondent

Decided March 17, 2011

U.S. Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review Board of Immigration Appeals

 

"The respondent now concedes that he cannot adjust status based on the I-130 visa petition filed by his second wife. We agree, because the language of section 245(d) of the Act clearly precludes fiancé(e)s from adjusting status on any basis other than marriage to the fiancé(e) petitioner. See Markovski v. Gonzales, 486 F.3d 108, 110 (4th Cir. 2007) (stating that the language of section 245(d) of the Act is clear insofar as it bars K-1 visa holders from adjusting status on any basis other than marriage to the fiancé(e) petitioner); see also Kalal v. Gonzales, 402 F.3d 948, 951 (9th Cir. 2005) (same).

You  should renew your AP since you won't get the   AOS decision until  October/Nov 2023.

Hi! 
I reached out to congresswoman in September, I followed up after 40 days and they said they hadn’t got a response and they would reach out again, then I got the medical request and the same day congress replied saying that they heard from USCIS saying they had sent it out a request to evidence. You are so close it has to be close by. What was the outcome of your congresswoman’s inquiry?
