Vermont will adjudicate your waiver, not the local office.

Thank you @Sandra G. after adjudicating the i601, will they make a decision on my i485 as well? Or they will return my i485 to the local office again where it was

@Sandra G. Thank you.

Hello guys,

I have not been able to log in using my old account therefore, had to open a new one with a similar name. I had to find a way to come back here and give my testimony. I promised a few years ago that I will come back here to write about the outcome of my vawa application whether negative or positive. 

I am a vawa applicant who started a vawa processing while abroad in 2019 and have been able to follow it through till completion. It was a long journey and a very hard one, but God finally did it for me. I received my Ib1 visa through consular process end of last year and entered the USA without any problems in january. No questions asked. I carried my own yellow file and handed it to an officer who took me to a secondary room. He took my picture and finger prints. Took my passport and returned it within 2 minutes. And told me welcome to USA.  I couldn't believe it. Those who are applying from abroad. Keep pushing. Don't give up. God is going to make away for you. My journey started in 2019 and ended successfully in 2023. God bless you all.

Congratulations fam! I’m currently going through the same process for years now. Can I send you a DM regarding your interview experience? Thank you

Good evening!

 

Which office sends the deficiency letter/medical exam RFE? Vermont or our local office?

 

My vawa got approved in the beginning of October 2023, and last week I went to my local office (had an info pass) - I was sure my file was already in my local office but when I got there the officer told me that my files are still in Vermont, and that Vermont is the one asking me for medical or then if they think I will need an interview they will send to my local office - She seems like she really wanted to help, she went in and out her office couple of times to check but she was positive about my cause still in Vermont and not my local office

 

Does this make sense? I always though they transfer and then my local office is the one deciding if I need an interview or not.

 

She also mentioned that Vermont was already done doing my biometric and going to the next step (which I don't know what it is)

 

What do you guys think? Does it take that long (5 months+) to Vermont transfer the  files??

It is sent by NBC office. Your file has not left yet not uncommon. No one knows timeframe period of file transfers.

Feb 2022 i360 was showing “approved” today I got another notification “new card is being produced” 

Is this for ead? I’ve already got renewed ead which is good for 5 years

Yeah that's the C31 EAD. Basically there's a box on the I-360 for VAWA cases "I'm in the United States and request an Employment Authorization Document" if you tick it, upon I-360 approval they will issue you a C31 EAD. You can have multiple EADs, just use the C09 one since it's the better deal.

Hi everyone,

 

I am a past VAWA recipient and filed my citizenship 2 years and 9 months as my spouse was a us citizen.

I filed online and just followed the instructions online. I do not have any information regarding paper filing. I found it easier to file online because the update documents uscis sends you in the mail can be found online in your uscis account before you get them in the mail. 

July 28 2023 - We received your form N-400 ( online application) 
August 10 2023 - We are actively reviewing your form N-400 nothing shows outstanding at the moment (biometric waived) 
September 27 2023 - We scheduled your interview for your for N-400
November 2 20203 - Interview (only asked questions on the form my name, place of employment, date of birth etc., did the oral, written, and history test. I call it history test) and he scheduled my oth ceremony on spot and gave me the information to take to the oath ceremony 
December 1 2023 Oath Ceremony

 

i am currently in the processes of filing for my mom and just a month after submitting her application they requested the medical which I didn’t send with the application and we are about to get her biometric done. 
 

Good luck to everyone on their journey.

@SamIAm876 Congratulations !

Hi Family

 

On March 12th, 2024 USCIS approved my I485 but since than there is no changes. I didn't even receive approval notice. Any idea, after approval of I485 how long USCIS sends your GC.

Within 4-6 weeks typically.

Yes. 2-3 weeks to get a notice in the mail by USPS.

 

Once green card is produced, you can wait for 3-4 weeks for it to arrive.

 

If you don't receive it by mid April (15-19) that's when you can start worrying. I'm sure this is not the first time you deal with USCIS and USPS?

It's Wednesday, and time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

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

MALE CHAUVINIST PIG RIDDLES

How many men does it take to open a beer?
  None.  It should be opened by the time she brings it.
   ----------------------------------------
Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
  Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you.
   ----------------------------------------
Why do women have smaller feet than men?
  It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
   ----------------------------------------
How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?
  When she starts her sentence with "A man once told me..."
   ----------------------------------------
How do you fix a woman's watch?
  You don't.  There's a clock on the oven.
   ----------------------------------------
If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, whom do you let in first?
  The dog, of course.  He'll shut up once you let him in.
   ----------------------------------------
What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?
  A woman who won't do what she's told.
   --------------------------------------
What's the correct answer when your wife asks "What's on the TV?"
    "Dust!"
