“Request that they forward your case to Vermont or Nebraska, where you originally mailed your I-360.” is this necessary? I informed my local office to resume adjudicating my I-485 without telling them to forward the case to Vermont

Has anyone been approved for GC without submitting medical examination ?

I am planning to write to my local field office (Lawrence) to inform them that my VAWA has been approved and for them to continue adjudicating my I-485. i had previously informed Lawrence to hold 485 in abeyance and transfer its underlying basis from I-130 to I-360. question - what is the policy around timeline VSC has to inform Lawrence that they have approved my I-360?

Apologies. I just checked my original communication to Lawrence Field Office when I mailed them my request to hold it in abeyance. I did write to them and ask USCIS to transfer the underlying basis of my I-485 to I-360. In the same letter, I also asked USCIS to keep my I-485 application in abeyance until the I-360 has been adjudicated and a decision has been rendered. in this case, do I still need to write a letter to Lawrence and ask them to resume processing my I-485? *edit* — this is what I have written: Dear Officer: Please be advised that my I-360, VAWA SELF-PETITION, EAC-XXXXXXX has been approved on February 6, 2025. Herein attached is my Notice of Receipt for the I-485 application and my I-360 approval notice. The transfer of the underlying basis of pending I-485 to I-360 alongside my abeyance request of the I-485 until a decision is rendered on my I-360 application was requested in writing to Lawrence Field Office on November 4, 2021.

My I-485 and I-130 are both in Lawrence, MA field office as I reside in MA. I’d be sending that letter as you suggested to the Lawrence Field Office, yes? Bottom line no matter how I slice this pie, I would have to do something about it and not wait for USCIS to initiate the next step for me.

Correct. It was just put in abeyance and nothing else

I have previously filed for I-130 and I-485 both of which are held in abeyance in my local field office. What should I do next now that my VAWA is approved? Do I write my local field office a letter to request them to restart my AOS process and provide them a copy of my VAWA approval ?

Does that mean my VAWA is finally approved??? What next steps should I take to inform my local field office to continue processing my I-485? I’ve had previously mailed them a letter (when I applied for I-360) to hold my AOS in abeyance

Hi Sandra, my case was not transferred to Nebraska. it is still with Vermont. I sent my combo card renewal to Vermont

@Demise per Sandra’s post, it looks like I should be sending to Vermont not Nebraska? I do not have approved VAWA - still pending. But I have C9 based on pending 485

@Demise but I am pending VAWA approval? I don’t have approved I-360 to send together with my renewal package. all I have are the renewal 765 and 131 forms, 4 photos, copy of my current combo card, and I-797 for my I-485

@Demise @Sandra G. where should i be sending I-765 and I-131 renewal? My previous renewal was 2 years ago and I sent it to Vermont. Just to Clarify I’m pending VAWA so my ead is C9 based on I-485. I had originally sent my VAWA to Vermont and they did not transfer my case to Nebraska.

hi all — where should i be sending I-765 and I-131 renewal? My previous renewal was 2 years ago and I sent it to Vermont. Just to Clarify I’m pending VAWA so my ead is C9 based on I-485. I had originally sent my VAWA to Vermont and they did not transfer my case to Nebraska.

It was more emotional abuse than physical. I was made to sleep outside the house in the open and was punched/slapped couple of times throughout the relationship but no way to physically document it as I was never bruised or injured. It’s hard to document physical abuse when there is no physical injuries. I have never thought of calling the cops on my ex when we were together..

Coming up two years since I filed VAWA which means my time should be soon… looking back I had only submitted my personal statement, along with evidence of bona fide marriage to US citizen, a screenshot of text message trying to show abuse, and a psychiatrist (who is trained on interviewing VAWA applicants / abuse survivors) report. In that report the doctor concluded that it is in her professional opinion that she found my statements of abuse to be truthful and I am medically diagnosed to be severely depressed and anxiety due to abuse. All that was what I sent to USCIS…. What are you guys’ honest opinion on my case being approved
