@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 ?

So it turns out that after you get your GC, you’re NOT required to go through VSC anymore in terms of updating address! They returned my package and instructed I’m free to up update it online. Just like they sent to you! So yeah..had to find that out for myself to be sure! Satisfied now!😊👍

Cool. Did you submit it online now? I did but it has not received any update about it already updated in USCIS. It submitted online back 11/16/2022 .

This is correct.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Oh I did the month I moved but wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing because we’ve been so used to VSC’s umbilical cord ties lol 😆 it’s hard to break free. But I’m over it now.

Well you’ve done your due diligence and told her what the law says…you can’t grab her by the neck to refrain her from heading towards bricks…🤷🏻‍♀️ I mean if she believes she can fly, watch her!😏

She was so confident about it and make me doubt myself. I have to learn how to keep my mouth shut and see how she will fly.

Finally, after 34 months of Hell, some good news!


Timeline:

July 2019- Filed I-485/I-130/I-131/I-765

December 2019- Combo Card Received

January 2020- Interview Scheduled

February 2020- Filed I-360. Asked USCIS to hold I-485 in abeyance

March 2020- USCIS receives application

October 2020- File for renewal on I-765/I-131

February 2021 I-765 renewal approved. Somehow, I-131 renewal has been separated.

October 2021- Still no I-131 approval. File for 2nd I-765 renewal

February 2022- I-131 approved (16 Months Later!!) Paper Copy w/photo. Not Combo card

May 2022- RFE (Didn't submit Psychological Evaluation with my I-360, as (former) attorney said that a letter from my therapist was adequate.

 

August 2022- Correspondence has been received by USCIS (PsychEval)

 

September 2022- 2nd I-765 renewal approved (2 Year Validity)

And finally, today, November 30th 2022- I-360 'We Ordered Your New Card'

It's been a long long road with lots of worry, stress and anxiety. Now I can finally take a deep breath. Feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders.

Thank you to everyone in this group for sharing your stories. It has given me something to stay strong throughout this difficult process.

For all those still waiting, I feel your pain. Your day will come soon, and you will feel the joy that I am feeling today!
