Note to all:  Thursday (Oct. 31) is Sandra G.'s 19th anniversary of having joined VJ.  So many people in this thread owe her sincere thanks for her wise advice and intrepid persistence.   

Wow 19 years...Thank you TBone. I helped hundreds of members here free of charge.I never had any case denied. Over 100 people got naturalized. It is impossible for me to take all cases, but I will do my best to do so.

 

I have a true crime YouTube channel where I tell about crimes all over the world. In the past three years I have spent a lot of time working on it, due to that,I don't answer questions as often as I used to, but I'm here at least once a week.

Hi everyone,

 

My previous post is above. I called USCIS yesterday and was told that my i485 was at Vermont. Keep in mind my Vawa was approved in July and I was told that my i485 was at NBC, now yesterday they said it’s at Vermont. 
 

Today I got an update stating that they sent Request for Initial Evidence for my i485. I am very nervous and have no idea as to what they might be asking for. 
 

1. Has anyone ever seen Vermont approve a i485 before? 
2. Do you have any experience or idea as to what evidence they are requesting?

3. How long before I get the notice? 
 

I appreciate your support. 
 

 

 

 

 

Have you gotten any "intent to deny" notice?.

Let’s say I’m the sending an envelope to a person A and the receiver is person B. For example When sender A is mailing  it and usps have the envelope in possession and it will take few days to reach receiver B. So on USPS informed delivery dashboard which shows what mail and packages are coming is displayed on it. Does the envelope show on dashboard when usps have it in their possession to be delivered from the moment they have it or does it gives

or shows the status on informed delivery dashboard on the day of delivery? I hope I Make sense here. 

USPS will tell you the day of delivery if you sign up for "Informed Delivery By USPS"

Also is delayed means denial? i am waiting almost 5 years without any update. no rfe. lots of prima facie.

You should contact your congressperson to inquire  on your behalf.

So the key word is “pending family based” i360 is self petition it is not family based. Usually if it is based off on i360 and alien is not under deportation or removal

proceedings then it falls under cat 765v c27-32. On self petition and with EOIR 42 B it will be c10. 

 Your petition is family-based, even though you're self-petitioning.

Has the address for filing work authorization changed please? If so, what is the new address? 

I sent a renewal of work authorization for me son to 38 River Road, Essex Junction VT 05452-3808 and it was rejected with the following:

"THE FORM TYPE SUBMITTED IS NOT WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THIS SERVICE CENTER. PLEASE RESUBMIT TO THE CORRECT FILING LOCATION"

No I did not receive an intent to deny or any other correspondence. 
 

The last thing I got was my Vawa approval letter and C31 employment card.

I appreciate your support.

I'm actually amazed you managed to get anything by calling USCIS. VAWA privacy protections outright hide most information from the view of the call center employees, so they might see that it started in Vermont, but they generally won't see what happened to it down the line. That's also the reason why the standard operating procedure here has been to just ask a congressman/senator to inquire with USCIS on your behalf. Call center either won't see anything or won't see the whole picture of what's going on. VAWA units are also a black hole that in theory you can write to but they never respond on their own.

 

1. Not for VAWA. They (as in Vermont or Nebraska) generally will hold I-485 until the I-360 is approved, then pass it to the NBC which will do their own review and can RFE you, then they'll pass it to the local field office which can also RFE you, interview you, or both, and the field office will be the one to issue the ultimate decision on the I-485.

2. Depends. It could be just for medicals. If it's an old filing from back when I-944 was a thing then they could want an I-864W from you (RFE notice will be boilerplate for I-864 and sponsor's taxes, ignore that, fill out an I-864W and send that in instead). If there's any other concerns like arrests they could also ask for that. Basically we can guess, but you won't know until you see the notice.

3. Probably like a week or two. These things go by standard mail, so the closer you are to Lee's Summit, Missouri and the closer you are to a major city the sooner you should get it. If you don't get anything in 2 weeks then you should ask a congressman or senator to nudge them to re-send it or get you an electronic copy.
