God is a good God

Hello guys. My i485 was at local office where it was denied. Filed motion to reconsider i290B and I got a RFE to file I601 waiver. The RFE said to mail the i601 receipt notice to my local office and I did for final decision . now I wrote a letter to Vermont 4 weeks ago to expedite my i485 and I got a letter saying that my case was transferred to Vermont service center for regular processing. What does it? My case moved From local office to Vermont again ? I’m confused

Thank you

I tried but received only automated messages

How do you speak with emma ? Via email?

Hello vj family, received this letter after filing request to expedite. So my i485 was at local office, denied and filed motion to reopen i290B, got RFE for i601 waiver and after receiving the i601 receipt, I mailed it to local office as mention in the RFE. I was expecting the local office to make a decision. Why they send it to Vermont again? I sent the expedite request to Vermont humanitarian division.

Hello @Sandra G.and all, I received a notification yesterday saying case transferred to another office, later on it changed to we received your correspondence and USCIS is reviewing it. So today i received another notification saying the same that case transferred to another office after it changed to we received correspondence. Is it because I’m having 290B and i601 waiver pending ?

Today my status turned into this

Hello guys. I sent last week a request to expedite my i485 (I filed 290b and i601 they asked) to Vermont . Today I saw that the case was transferred. However I sent my i290 RFE which was the I601 receipt notice straight to my local office because my RFE said after receiving a receipt notice for i601 to send it straight to the local office. Now what did they transfer here? usually they transfer cases for people who applied they i485 to vermont and uscis transfer it to local office. But in my case everything is at the local office already, to which office they transfer it again ?

Congratulations, wow from denial to approval

Can you post the link of online expedite? I cannot find it so far. I called uscis, they told me to mail vermont (humanitarian division). Do you have the fax number?

Yes I sent the letter of my employer in the expedite request I sent to USCIS. do you mean I should submit the letter of my employer to the congressman too? I just signed the consent form and put receipt numbers of my i485 and i765

Hello all, I wrote an expedite request to Vermont for my EAD and I485 (with 290B pending ). Do they really respond and expedite? this morning I went the congressman office and did another expedite request with them. My employer already told me to stop work next month when my current EAD expires

The website says if you terminate your asylum, your EAD will still active until expiry date beyond which you can no longer apply. I paid for C31

Hello guys, I have a question on EAD automatic extension. Does it apply on different EAD categories or should be on the same category ? i was using a 2years C08 based on asylum that will expire 02/2024 (this what my employer has until now). when my i360 got approved I got a 1year C31 that expired 02/2023. When i360 was approved, I terminated my asylum. Now I sent a C31 renewal last November 2023 so that it can replace the C08 at work because since my asylum has been terminated I can no longer apply for C08 EAD. Does automatic extension apply on this case? C08 expiring next month and C31 pending ? My employer said I need to stop employment until the card because it is 2 different categories and automatic extension cannot apply. meanwhile I’m waiting for a decision on my i485-290b that needed a i601 waiver

Very strange yes. Just get ready to file a new one or try an infopass and go hear from them what happened to your case

I did two successful infopass since my i485 denial, and thinking doing another one this week, just want to make sure the officer has my RFE because I only have one chance now or I’ll have to file a new i485. What I always tell them is that I wanted to go submit documents that I think the officer didn’t receive even though the post office showed delivered, and they always give me infopass

Means they forgot to keep it in abeyance ?

If your i485 was denied prior to i360 approval, the only option is filing a new i485. Mine was denied after i360 approval

You are right , I thought his vawa was approved prior to i485 denial like in my case

My i485 was denied too. I’m a vawa. Did infopass and went there and gave them documents

I think make an infopass appointment and take with you your i360 approval notice and i485 receipts. They may fix your issue without a motion to reconsider or to reopen. And also get your i290b motion to reconsider ready. If they say file a i290b after your infopass, go ahead and file it. But go to your local office first

My lawyer sent the vawa to Vermont first, it was returned saying sent to wrong address and Vermont advised to sent it to texas as my receipt number starts src. My lawyer sent it to texas to the correct address with no RFE in it and got a notice of rejection with Vermont address. And submitted that notice saying “application not needed” to local office and my i485 was denied that I didn’t properly file my vawa because lawyer forgot to include RFE And, after filing 290b and received RFE for VAWA again and we mailed it to texas again with the receipt notice in it and Vermont processed my check, we sent the receipt notice that to local office and waiting for the decision now

It depends with your receipt number letter, mine started with src and had to send it to Dallas and , after Vermont is where the receipt notice came from. And my RFE stated clearly that send the receipt notice and a copy of RFE to the local office for the OFFICER to make a decision on my case

My lawyer sent it without the RFE in it and USA returned it saying “ application not needed “ and submitted that notice saying application not needed to USCIS and they denied my I485. Filed i290b and received same rfe for i601 and this time i601 was well filed and received a receipt notice that I sent to the local office as per RFE instruction. I submitted my i601 to Dallas tx since my i485 receipt number started with SRC.

I don’t think you need to leave, stay here, don’t move. Because AFTER FILING I290, they will send you that RFE to make a decision on I290B and once you submit that RFE , your I290B will be approved and subsequently your I360 and I485 will be approved as well. Because basson what I hear here in the group, I360 approval forgive any unlawful presence. Many people get their green card through VAWA after overstaying for even 10 years
