Thank you! Needed to hear that. I asked in a number of different forums and it looks like there are a lot of people who filed EAD renewals at Nebraska early this year (like Jan 2025) who still have not received their notices of receipts … that is ridiculous

Just did that and reached out to my state’s Senator… I spoke with USCIS and they said it is not reflected in the system. Meaning either no one has uploaded the paper filing into the system or they had lost it and I need to refile… I also emailed lockbox support email…. ####### this is gross incompetence at its finest @balo101

End of March to get my notice of receipt for the EAD renewal ?? They received it on Feb 3. What should I do if I don’t get anything from then after 3/31?

Two questions — 1) I filed my C9 EAD renewal to Nebraska early in February this year and I’ve not gotten a notice of receipt. How long is this taking now? As well as how long is it taking to get approved ? 2) in Feb my VAWA was also approved and my lawyer had written to my local field office to resume adjudication of my I-485 that was held in abeyance. We have not received any communication back from them yet nor request for evidence for medical examination. How long is this taking now?

“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
