VAWA, Part 27

[TBoneTX 45,288]

Happy Thanksgiving to all here.  If you currently don't think that you have much to be thankful for, be strong, because you surely will.

 

Here are the special Thanksgiving jokes that almost escaped our attention!

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

THANKSGIVING JOKES

 

I asked my butcher, "How do you prepare your turkeys for Thanksgiving?"

He said, "We just tell them straight out that they're gonna die."

 

In the supermarket, I had trouble finding a Thanksgiving turkey large enough to feed my family.  I asked the store clerk, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?"  He said, "No, sir; they're dead."

Why don't you reach out to your judge's clerk to find out from him/her if they have received the motion from your attorney? If they did receive then how long it would take take for judge to dismiss. 

Thank you again I did call th court and they said they received on 15th November a motion to re schedule . 🙏

That's good. Did you ask them how long judge will take to dismiss?

Unfortunately, when I hang up , I was thinking that why I didn’t ask ; as I said before , I didn’t even know I had  that opportunity to ask . Thank you letting me know , later if long time no voice from them then  I’ll contact them again for sure 🙏 do you know any idea about processing time? But actually my attorney was telling me 2 months ago she has two clients hearing on January and she wants me put in this month hearing with these clients but I don’t know how judge will decide. Think about it when I contacted them I said that please send my motion , it was 2 months ago they just sent it a week ago why because I was always emailing them to do it . They called me 2 months ago about their mistake and they didn’t make any action even they admitted .

I am not sure in which state you are. In NY it is taking almost a month for a judge to dismiss. I would say reach out to them by Dec 15. you should hear anything by then.

It is Sunday and therefore time for our long-awaited (well, since Wednesday and then the Thanksgiving jokes) Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

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

FROM FORTUNE COOKIES AT CHINESE RESTAURANTS

 

About time I got out of that cookie!

 

You will marry a professional athlete -- if competitive eating can be considered a sport.

 

I cannot help you, for I am just a cookie.

 

(1) A new romance is in the future.

(2) Ignore previous cookie.

 

Avoid taking unnecessary gambles.  Lucky Numbers 12, 14, 17, 20, 28, 36.

 

You are not illiterate.

 

I see money in your future... it is not yours, though.

 

Pigeon poop burns the retina for 13 hours.  You will learn this the hard way.

 

Your fortune:  You need to make a donation.  Give it to the chef.

 

Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn.

 

Pass the bill to the person at your left.

 

We don't know the future, but you just got a free cookie!

Hi everyone, I hope all is well is you all. 
So, I took the advice of some of you to make an infopass appt, to inquire about the status of my I-485..well, they say that they don’t have it and it’s still with the NBC. What in the world should my next step be? I really would have liked to go home this Christmas, it’s been 9 years .. I’m so sad. It feels like this is never going to happen. My lawyer says that it’s a pain to reach the NBC
Any advice? Or should I just go crawl into. Big hole  I’m so tired. Thanks everyone!

 

this is my timeline again.. 

 

I-360,I-485,I-765 receipt notice oct 9, 2020

 

I-360 approved March 2023

 

I-485 RFE-medical NBC April 2023

 

I-485 RFE response received June 2023

silence since then.. FO doesn’t have my application.

Reach out to your congress person. Tell them if they can reach out to NBC on your behalf.

NBC cannot send your file to the field office until they are ready to process your file. The field office controls everything from this point.

Congratulations to you! My timeline is similar! What was your field office? My RFE medical was received by the NBC in July 2023 and no response since. I also applied to For Vawa oct 2020 and got approved March 2023.

where did you send your RFE medicals to? 

A field office is the USCIS office, where you live. They adjudicate the I-485 applications. My I-360 approval was from Vermont, March 2023 , but I was told to send my RFE medical to NBC  

Congratulations again! 🤗
