Hello everyone. My Employment Authorization Document (EAD) under category (c)(31), based on an approved VAWA petition, was recently lost along with my wallet. I am preparing to file Form I-765

Greencard Approved

It has been a very long journey, a few errors on my case that caused delays, and even 2 denials. Neither denial was done by my lawyer, my case or on my part, they were USCIS errors. Thankfully between my diligence, and an awesome legal team, it was a successful outcome. I now have a 10 year greencard. Stay diligent, stay on top of your cases, keep your documents organized, keep whatever positive, and honest support system that you can around you. Your time will also come, I know that it is hard and overwhelming, but stay focused. Thank you!

Texas Service Center: I-360

My VAWA case was filed in May 2022, so I’m approaching 50 months, and I still haven’t received any meaningful update. What’s even more frustrating is that every time I feel like I’m getting closer, the posted processing time seems to increase by another month. I’m honestly exhausted from waiting. Has anyone in a similar situation found anything that actually helped move their case forward? At this point, is there anything I can do besides waiting? Would contacting my congressman, submitting a service request, or filing a mandamus lawsuit make sense, or is it too early? I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through this.

Senator Inquiry Response

I did senator inquire on my case I 130 F2A . Is it helpful or just copy paste response “ Thank you you for contacting me regarding your husband's immigration status. I have received your privacy release and request for an update on the status of your immigration petition. USCIS has advised me that your petition is pending consideration by its California Service Center and is within the standard processing time for applications of its type (Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative | Permanent resident filing for a spouse). According to USCIS, the current timeframe for processing these cases at the California Service Center for up to 43 months. Your case was received on March 2, 2023 and therefore, is within standard processing timeframes.”

Did I apply with attorney? -Yes, and it helped a lot throughout my journey. 4. Am I from those banned 39 countries? Yes I am. God is the greatest!!! Put him first in situations you are, in good and bad! Never lose hope! He is the best planner! 5. Did we get any additional evidences required? - No we didn’t receive any requests, and we never submitted one online too. Only while applying we provided maximum evidences.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share an update on my case. I just received a soft approval on my I-130! 🎉 I want to wish everyone who’s still waiting the very best—I truly hope you all receive your approvals soon. Timeline: * Priority Date: February 10, 2023 * I am from a country currently affected by the travel ban/pause. * Everything started moving after I contacted my congressional representative and they submitted an inquiry on my behalf. * July 1: Received my interview notice. * July 9: Attended the interview at my local USCIS field office as the petitioner. I know this is not common for a consular case, I was surprised too * July 18: I-130 approved (soft approval). Don’t lose hope. I know how difficult the wait can be, but cases can still move forward. Wishing everyone the best, and I hope you all get good news very soon!

God loves you! ;)

work permit renewal

Hey guys, I applied in July 2022 and am still waiting for my I-360 to be approved. I received a request for more info two years ago, good moral carácter. Last year, I received a notification that my I-495 had been transferred. I have received 2 prima facie so far; the second one expires next month. I submitted my Ead renewal last year. I have the extension till the end of February 2027. Has anybody done anything to speed this process? If so, what did you guys do? I have contacted USCIS, and they told me to reach back in July. Now they told me to check the processing times and that my work permit still shows as pending. The processing time indicates that I can submit an inquiry until November; if it keeps increasing, I might lose my job. Any suggestions are well appreciated.

Upon inquiring about the case, the status has become USCIS Is currently Processing the Case Do you mean that they will make a decision regarding the file?

My 1485J was approved july 10. Is there anyone whose I-485J was approved on July 10th as well, but their I-485 is still pending?

Vawa Case update

My VAWA green card interview was completed last year October 15,2025 at the Philadelphia field office and I didn't hear anything since then. I just got the update saying fingerprint was updated on your case. What does that mean? This process is draining especially with the whole shenanigans going on with the banned countries saga. Any advice or Anyone in this situation before should enlightened me
