It's still Wednesday in parts of the U.S., so here in greatest haste is our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IS HYDRATION IMPORTANT?

 

Two cannibals met in a mental institution.  One was tearing out magazine pictures of men, women, and children, stuffing them into his mouth, and eating them.

 

"Tell me," asked the other.  Is that dehydrated stuff really that good?"

:P 

 

Here's one from me:

Setting: Berlin, 1970s

A West Berlin man would ride his bicycle every afternoon into East Berlin. Every time he had a sack filled with sand sitting on the back of the bicycle.

When presenting himself for inspection at the border crossing the man would say that he's visiting his mother who lives in East Berlin, the guards suspecting the man of being a smuggler would pat him down, search his pockets, and empty the sack of sand and search its contents, but they couldn't find anything so they would admit him.

This process repeated every single day for years, each day the man and his belongings were searched but the guards couldn't find anything.

Many years later after the fall of the Berlin wall the man is sitting at a bar and drinking a beer. A former border guard saw him and approached him to ask

Guard: "Listen, the wall is gone, Germany is reunited, we all knew you were smuggling but we could never figure out what you were smuggling exactly, so please, tell me."

Man: "Bicycles"

I don't know if they had changed the address for AP renewals after the HART center was created.  Thank you everyone!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Way I heard it was a man pushing wheelbarrows off a construction site.  :P

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

It is taking 9 months per uscis website. I have seen people got approved in 5 to 6 months.

Thanks!

My renewal was sent to Vermont but they forwarded to Texas and I have no idea why. Processing time in Texas is even longer ☹️

After vawa approval, does Vermont ALWAYS forward the case to another office or sometimes they can review it by themselves? Because that is what an USCIS officer told me and also someone else, that who will process my I485 is Vermont and not NBC or my local office

vermont will send it back to NBC. NBC from there review your file. They either ask you for the medical or if they think they need to interview you then they will send your file to local field office.

It could be anything, however since your VAWA is approved i am thinking it could be about your medical.
