you are right balo101 , it was a motion to recalendar . Whatever they submitted I will get copy of it  .there is  No for dismiss any motion. Yes I have I-360 AP.

ahhh. He could have sent both together to order to avoid unnecessary delay. Now he will wait for court date then he would ask the Judge to dismiss. Once you get the letter ask your attorney if he/she can send the motion to dismiss immediately instead of waiting for the court date.

I was secretly hoping it would come in one of those days when you post jokes tbh . 

Ah, but the jokes have a half-life of 3 or 4 days!  When people give them a "like" or "laugh" upvote, the effect is even stronger.

Pick the other 'D other" then write "Have been an LPR for at least three years (VAWA, I.N.A § 319(a))." This is from NOLO

@balo101 Thank you so much ma'am. So I should just write in this statement ""Have been an LPR for at least three years (VAWA, I.N.A § 319(a))." This is from NOLO" on the Option D ?

But I am filing just at 2 years 9 months , wont' they say it not yet up to 3 years ma'am ? Will that count against me ? Pls help clarify

Thank you very much

nothing will count against you. You are allowed to file once you touch 2 years and 9 months. You can also search for Sandra's post you will get satisfactory answer. 

You do not need to write this is from NOLO. I just put the reference.

only thing you need to include is your approval notice. Make sure your attorney submit it because it's related to court so do not take chance by submitting it yourself.

Hey, just an update, I applied for i360/i485/i765 in January 2021 (US Citizen spouse), 3 months after I received work permit. i360 was approved in February 2024 and i485 was updated to show biometrics were applied. I know the answer is probably somewhere in previous threads but i could not find it, so my questions is how long generally does it take to approve i485 and should I go do and submit medical asap?

it depends on your field office how buys they are. I would suggest do not submit your medical until USCIS ask for it. Since your vawa just got approved. I would say give it at least 2 months before you take next step. Your VAWA just approved so enjoy that moment.

Hi Sandra,

Hope you are doing well. I have been reading your replies and getting a lot of help on my case even if I never posted my question here. I had applied for my VAWA in April 2016 and got it approved in August 2018. 

Then I applied for my I485 in February 2019 and my Biometrics were taken in March 2019 itself. The case was updated in August 2019 to show that the fingerprints were taken by VSC.

 

Since then there was no activity on my case except for getting my EADs renewed every year since VAWA got approved.

 

Last year, with your advice on the thread I reached out to my congressman and in January 2024 my case was transferred to the NBC.

 

Now, I know that my medical was not submitted at the time of my AOS application because the lawyer from the non-profit org advised against it. And, due to which my file is lacking the medical report I693.

 

Can you please give me advice if I should interfile my I693 proactively before even I get an RFE? I am getting mixed advice from various lawyers but I really trust your expertise.

Some have told me to wait for NBC to issue an RFE. Others are saying there is no harm except that you might lose money if they do not file it or if they lose it.

 

I have not been to my country in 9 years and I am exhausted. I will really appreciate your help in this matter. Thank you!
