I apply for vawa full packet Jan 6 I have my work permit as of last week , my travel permit is still pending is anyone in this timeline ?
my concern is it has been since Jan 9 for my biometric on my travel document because they used my biometrics from Biden PIP , I received my work permit last week but the travel permit says I’m 10 out of 212 waiting on here and I don’t understand what that means either ,
My I‑130 Approval Timeline
February 8 – Submitted my I‑130 petition (Petition for Alien Relative)
April 24 – Received a notification that my case was still processing.
May 20 – Case approved by USCIS 🎉
May 23 – Case transferred to the Department of State for the next stage.
It’s been a journey of patience and persistence. Seeing the approval notice after months of waiting was such a relief, and now the case is moving forward to the Department of State. For anyone still waiting, hang in there , every small update means progress!
My I-485 has been approved today, ALHAMDULILLAH. Prayers for all of you, believe in yourself and ALLAH will make things for you.

I-360 Fingerprint appointment missed
Filed Date: Dec,2025
Fingerprints given for I-764,I-131,I-485 : Feb ,2026
Hi, I missed my I-360 fingerprint appointment due to a health issue. Later, I realized that I had missed the appointment, so I requested a new fingerprint appointment and received a service request number. However, I have not received any response for the past 30 days. Could you please let me know how I should proceed next, or if I need to call again to reschedule the fingerprint appointment?
New USCIS rule
lawfully community please relax, VAWA, DACA, U or T Visas are exempt from new rule, and for the rest of ya'll, we all have extraordinary circumstances not to go back to our home country like families, jobs and years of life here! Just get a good lawyer(which is not easy) and prepare a good and strong I 485 case. USCIS did a language modification that's all so continue with ya'lls life! God bless everyone and praying for approvals!
Uscis meno
it’s just a memo. It won’t apply uscis has pending 11.6 million cases out of which 60-70% pending cases are from F1 F2 B1 B2 J1 marriage based so it won’t apply to those pending cases. If anyone get interview from on now it might to harder and we might see denail cases. Also congress and Judge will ruled out this memo. So just be positive and stay calm.
international travels
hi all, I just saw a post with MRS Mounita Rahaman well known lawyer in NYC, saying if you got your green card through Vawa you should NOT be traveling at this time.! basically in a nutshell she’s saying CBP, DHS and USCIS. they’re giving a lot or trouble. to people who already have their green card and who’s in the process or getting it.
so think about your travels before actually traveling.
