Asylum
Hello everyone,
My case was approved last week after three years of waiting. I did not file a Writ of Mandamus (WOM). A few months ago, I reached out to my congressional representative, and they contacted USCIS on my behalf.
I’m sharing this to encourage someone today. It hasn’t been an easy journey, but don’t give up. Stay patient, keep praying, and trust that your time will come. Wishing everyone who is still waiting the very best.

Pakistani Immigrant Citizenship
I got my Green Card with EB2-NIW petition in Sep 2021.
In June I became eligible to apply for citizenship (90 days before 5 years). Is citizenship application considered banned for Pakistan since it is in the list of countries from where immigrant visa processing is on hold? I have always lived in USA and applied from USA (satisfied the requirements for taxes). I also had only traffic infractions from more than 5 years ago, and did upload proof of community work into my application. I think my case will be in Portland OR. Putting out feelers for these. I applied recently for the citizenship. Also going to upload more and more proof.
I got my green card via EB2-NIW.

"New Card Is Being Produced" on my I-360 (not C31 or C09) – Is this VAWA approval or just my C09 EAD?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to understand a recent USCIS update and would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced the same thing.
My timeline:
VAWA (I-360): Filed February 22, 2022 (EAC/Vermont)
I-485 & C31 EAD: Filed June 2022
C09 EAD: Filed April 2, 2025
Congressional inquiry and expedite request approved.
Biometrics completed on May 1, 2026.
USCIS issued an RFE on my I-360.
I responded, and on June 2, 2026, the status changed to "Response to USCIS' Request for Evidence Was Received."
Yesterday my statuses changed to:
I-360 (EAC): New Card Is Being Produced
C09 (IOE): USCIS is currently processing the case (same generic message)
C31 (separate receipt): Correspondence Was Received and USCIS Is Reviewing It
I-485: Case Transferred to Another Office
Lawfully marks the I-360 as "Approved" because it says "New Card Is Being Produced."
My questions:
Has anyone had "New Card Is Being Produced" appear on the I-360 receipt number instead of the C31 or C09?
Did it end up being VAWA approval with a C31 EAD, or was it actually just a C09 EAD approval?
If it was VAWA approval, how many days later did you receive the approval notice and the EAD?
I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone with a similar experience.
Thank you!

I-140 Approval after waiting for more than 2years (regular processing)
I've been current since March 2026, but didn't get an approval for the I-140 petition. I was beginning to get worried and almost got the premium processing (out of pocket) but I'm glad I wasn't as buoyant at the time to pay for it. Thank you Marvelous God for this Great Miracle.
PS: I am from one of the 36 banned countries.

Case Update N-400 N400
Just putting this out there for whoever needs the information.
I filed
N400 November 2025 (5years rule) pending 751
Biometrics was reused November 22 2025
I received the same update everyone had about USCIS is currently processing the case ealier this month but date didn't change.
But then today i received the same USCIS is currently processing the case with today's date July 16. which makes exactly 8 months of filing, Field office Minneapolis. I think its getting closer to having my interview (just a hope).
That's all I have for you. Goodluck. If Any update happens I'll update my post. #N400 #N-400
