I am the primary applicant for VAWA (Form I-360).
Hi guys! this not for me but a friend who needs answers as soon as possible
I am the primary applicant for VAWA (Form I-360).
Hi guys!
My son (13 years old) is included in my case as a derivative child.
We filed Form I-360 and I-485 in May 2025, and received the receipts in November 2025.
Currently, the I-360 is not yet approved.
However, USCIS scheduled an interview for the I-485 not for me, but for my 13-year-old son on February 9, 2026 in Sacramento.
Please advise:
• Is this normal for a VAWA case?
• What is the purpose of interviewing a child?
• Does this indicate anything negative for the I-360?
• And what should we expect at such an interview?
Uploading 2025 joint tax return as unsolicited evidence while NOID response is pending — good or bad idea?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently waiting on USCIS to review my NOID response for an I-130. The NOID response was already submitted and acknowledged, and there’s no new RFE or action requested at this time.
We’ve now filed our 2025 joint federal tax return, and I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to upload it as unsolicited evidence to show continued bona fide marriage, or if it’s better to leave the case alone while it’s under review.
For those who’ve been through NOIDs or extended reviews:
Did you upload updated joint tax returns while waiting?
Did it help, hurt, or make no difference?
Any risk of slowing things down or reopening review?
Looking for real experiences — especially from people who had heavy scrutiny or NOIDs.
Thanks in advance.

Medical RFE acknowledgment and radio silence.
Hello! Anyone on the same boat waiting for update after medical RFE acknowledgement and then radio silence after that? It has been more than 6 months for my case since the acknowledgement. No updates at all. I initiated couple of service requests. Replies are generic to just wait, nothing needed at this time. PD Current since June 2025.
