You guys are wonderful and only deserve the best of things.

A bit of good news. I have been trying to get my address changed before my case was approved, and USCIS didn't.  Vermont updated the address after transferring to NBC. NBC didn't have the new address and kept sending RFE to my ex-lawyer's office since March. Got a mail today. Thanks be to God, USCIS finally changed the address and only need the medical. I must admit, I was frustrated and sent a copy to the local field office in May. I will now send it to the MO. The doctor was understanding when I requested a copy.

It's Wednesday!  Time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

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

PLAIN ENGLISH

 

A man came to see his family doctor.  The man told his doctor that he wasn't able to do all the things around the house that he used to do.

 

When the examination was complete, he said, "Now, Doc, I can take it.  Tell me in plain English what is wrong with me."

 

"Well, in plain English," the doctor replied, "you're just lazy."

 

"OK," said the man.  "Now give me the medical term so I can tell my wife."

:P

@TBoneTX  The joke worked again.  I received my i-360 approval today This is such a relief, to be honest I wasn't very hopeful but left everything in gods hand.

I felt that I should share here first as this news gives happiness and hope to most of the members in this group.  
Off-course I want to thank every one who is helping and supporting us here. Thank you so much. :)

Hi @sandranj and @gramercy 

 

I am recipient of Green card through VAWA and I have filed for naturalization a month ago. I have also got married to my wife who is India. I sponsored for her and her I-130 was approved recently and her case is with NVC, probably waiting for a visa number to be available. 
 

In the meantime, my anxiety and depression has been getting worse. My primary care has  put me on anti depressants. Given my health condition, do you think I can request that my wife’s case be processed faster so she can come and stay with me to help with the situation. At work I am not allowed go and work from there anymore, I have a written email. 
 

is it worth trying to request and have my wife’s case be expedited?

RFE for medical for your i-485. Unless they are missing anything else with it. 

Thank you, will Vermont  process my I-485 or it will be transferred to a different office? I had already submitted Medical at the time of filing but as its over 2 years, I believe they will require a recent one.

Vermont will transfer your file to NBC then they will send it to your local field office.
