That's right.

The address to mail the medical is ALWAYS listed on the RFE itself.

So, you are not the one guessing location it should be mailed.

Always read the RFE carefully and obey diligently all the instructions therein.

Oboy oboy oboy!  Sunday!  Time for our always-hilarious (please humor me on this) Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

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

THE DIAMOND BRACELET

 

A lady walked into a fancy jewelry store.  She saw a beautiful diamond bracelet and walked over to inspect it.  As she bent over to look more closely, she accidentally farted loudly.

 

Very embarrassed, she looked around nervously to see if anyone had noticed, and she prayed that a salesman wouldn't appear right then.  However, as she turned around, a salesman was standing right behind her.

 

Displaying complete professionalism, the salesman greeted the lady with "Good day, madam; how may we help you today?"

 

Very uncomfortably, but hoping that the salesman might not have been there at the time of her little accident, she asked, "Sir, what is the price of this lovely bracelet?"

 

He answered, "Lady, if you farted just looking at it, you're going to poop when I tell you the price."

I forgot you will need to complete a I-864W. You have to mail it to the new VAWA address. 

File 864w along with 824 or mail it to the NVC after the 824 is approved? Isn’t 864w filed at the NVC stage?

No. It is all sent in one package to the new VAWA address.

I didn’t submit 864w when I mailed in the 824 to the vawa address. I was told that the 864w should be mailed with the DS-260 to the NVC after the 824 approval and upon receiving the NVC welcome letter. Are you saying I should’ve sent the 864w to the vawa address when I requested 824?

No problem. You can still submit it later.

You guys I am so worried, I sent my medicals to my FO with usps priority but I forgot to add signature confirmation, so now I'm worried usps could mark it as delivered but it could be lost or something. This immigration process is giving me premium anxiety.

No need of being worried.

Wether signature's confirmation or not, your medical has been delivered if the USPS tracking says so.

I sent mine without any signature's confirmation.

They are professional with in their mailing department.

Thank you so much for your calming words. This immigration process is giving us all gray hairs lol

The best tonic for turning gray hairs back to their original color is our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

=============================================
THE GOOD PARROTS AND THE BAD PARROTS

 

A lady went to her priest one day and told him, "Father, I have a problem.  I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing."

 

"What do they say?" the priest asked.

 

"They say, 'Hi!  We're prostitutes.  Do you want to have some fun?'"

 

"That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed.  "I can see why you're embarrassed."

 

He thought for a minute, and then said, "I have a solution for this problem.  I have two male parrots whom I have taught to pray and read the Bible.  Bring your two parrots over to my house, and I will put them in the cage with Francis and Job.  My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship, and to give up their sinful language."

 

The woman happily agreed, and the next day, she brought her parrots to the priest's house.  She saw the two male parrots inside their cage, holding their rosary beads and praying.  She placed her parrots inside with them.

 

After just a couple of seconds, the female parrots exclaimed in unison, "Hi!  We're prostitutes.  Do you want to have some fun?"

 

There was a stunned silence.  Finally, one male parrot said to the other, "Put the beads away, Francis -- our prayers have been answered!"

I am so discouraged. I have been trying to change my address since last year with Vermont. They finally changed it after transferring the case to National Benefits Center; now a RFE has been sent in April and I cannot seem to get it sent to the right address. Congressional office has been trying and still USCIS cannot send it to me. 

I write a letter twice per week, mailing it to multiple NBC offices and still nothing.

Awwhhhh!!!!

Hello VAWA community, 

Does anyone knows how long does it take to get a response on I-485 after you submit the medical examination? 

Thank you

It usually takes 30 to 90 days.

[J2020 94]

Can I-824 fees be waived for Vawa? 
 

and if it can be waived, can someone still request it to be waived and ask for a refund if they already paid it?

@sandranj would you recommend travelling at that period while waiting the response for i485?
