I think it was a glitch because I saw a lot of people on other forums saying they got this same notification on their status last month or so.  

 

Your approval will come soon. 

Amen, Thanks

Wednesday -- oh boy oh boy oh boy -- time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke!

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

THE ROUGH GOLF GAME

 

Jim, John, Fred, and Harry were a regular golfing foursome.  When they were on the second hole of the golf course one day, Harry had a heart attack and dropped dead.

 

Jim came home hours later than usual, looking utterly exhausted.  His wife, deeply concerned, asked, "Honey, what happened?"

 

"It was a rough game today," said Jim tiredly.  "Harry died on the second hole.  For all 16 holes after that, it was 'hit the ball and drag Harry... hit the ball and drag Harry...'"

:P

Hello VJ family,

After my I485 interview, I received a REF asking for a I601 waiver because I entered the USA as single while I was married back home. This issue was already addressed when I RECEIVED NOID before my i360 got approved.
I sent the i601 and it got returned accompanied by this blue paper saying they don’t need it at this time. I’m confused how UScis is confusing itself. What does it mean?

Look up the case status # of your I-485 or RFE receipt # 

First instinct is to say, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth…but not sure if we are dealing with a horse or a donkey…here. 

Would be fabulous if inadmissibility finding was reversed post interview/ RFE issuance…

Hello Everyone! Please I need your help.

I had my i-485 form returned by VSC. Their reason was the form I submitted was outdated and the filing fees were incorrect(both were current at the time when I began my AOS journey). I was directed in the notice to send the current form and include the accurate filing fees. Thing is, I included a copy of the letter I wrote to my FO putting my filed i-485 in abeyance when I filled my VAWA. 

How do I proceed? Do I write to VSC telling them I have already paid these fees? Do I add the requested fees per the notice? I appreciate your advice. Thank you.

Hello! Can someone please help me? Thank you🙏

The tongue-in-cheek answer is that USCIS can't find either butt-cheek with both hands plus outside help. :P 

Seriously, someone (perhaps Sandra) can provide a more helpful answer.
