Action Taken on my Vawa case
Hi guys! I got an email from USCIS yesterday regarding my pending VAWA, has anyone seen anything like this recently? My PD is 01/04/2024 My work permit was already approved 1 year ago and my I-485 has been on Fingerprints taken and Applied to case since March 2024. *** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL *** There has been a recent processing action taken on your case. Receipt Number: ######## Application Type: I360, PETITION FOR AMERASIAN, WIDOW(ER), OR SPECIAL IMMIGRANT Your Case Status: Initial Review On August 19, 2025, we received your correspondence for Form I360, PETITION FOR AMERASIAN, WIDOW(ER), OR SPECIAL IMMIGRANT, Receipt Number ########. We are reviewing your correspondence, and will send you a notice if we need something from you. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators. If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.

frustrated again….
I posted this message at the end of July, and guess what. the same thing JUST happened to me for the second time, exactly the same way, last night. yesterday my progress said “two weeks” and then last night it jumped back to “two months.”. I just wish I knew what was actually going on. I'm at a point of sheer frustration, exhaustion, and confusion. When I first filed the I-130 in March 2024 for my husband, my timeline was four weeks. then it changed to six months. September came and went. then it changed to "taking longer than normal but still within processing time" until last month. then it was finally updated to 4 weeks. every week since then it dropped to 3 weeks, 2 weeks. I'm entering my final week and checked this morning, and it was updated to two months. I'm practically in tears from the lack of understanding. people are being approved who applied way after me. I'm tired of having "hope" and reading about "trusting God." these processes are broken and not logical and no amount of hope or faith can justify or appease this lack of logic. #frustrated
