thanks!

do we need to do anything about our current ssn after the green card is issue?

my field office...that was the address listed on the thing but ymmv

Can't believe this part of my journey is finally over. What a relief! Brief Timeline: Applied for VAWA and AOS March 2020. Self filed with help of this forum, no rfes except for medicals last month. Vawa approved exactly 1 year ago. RFE for medicals in April, responded within one week, today, exactly one month later, ya girl now has her green card! DMV area. See y'all in 2 years and 9 months lol

but that would make too much sense for these government type things 🙄

Got RFE for medicals today. Vawa approved last May. Does this still mean no interview these days? Also how long after you submitted your medicals was your green card approved? I hope this means my journey is almost over... my thief of a civil surgeon is charging a whole $700 for that medical but i just don't have it in me to fight this or travel to somewhere else to do it so whatever.

Ran into my ex over the weekend at a social event for the first time in 2-3 years. I know he has no idea how I have been because my family and friends have been a protective vault with regards to me and my wellbeing. Judging from his reaction, I gather he expected me to die of misery following our awful marriage and even worse separation/ongoing divorce. But I didn't - in that time I have lost all the weight i gained in my suffering, graduated, and now work as a physician at a fantastic hospital, moved into a cute little condo, and just overall living my best life. Finally. He said hello, I responded cordially and i think we both realized at the same time that I am now blissfully indifferent. I always thought I would hate him or be resentful but turns out I just really don't care anymore. Guess who now wants to go to therapy and do everything to work this out? Hahaha. Never again. This process is long, draining, and still ongoing for me but i am grateful it has helped me find myself again even though that felt impossible at some point just a year or two ago. We just all need to hang on a bit longer, this story will have a happy ending for us.

did it myself with @sandranj's help and read almost all past vawa threads. 3pfs, no rfe, approved last year. waiting for gc now.
