Interview scheduled
Hello everyone.
Here to check, if anyone can help or suggest something on my case. My 765 was approved a month ago but never received or was never shipped. meanwhile my interview is scheduled next month. Now, as I never received my Social or 765 card our joint financial documents (joint bank account, tax, etc) cannot be done. What joint documents can be obtained in situation like this.
thanks :)
I-485 under VAWA, 0$?
Hi everyone,
I got my VAWA approved on April 25th and received my EAD now I’m finally ready to file for Adjustment of Status (I-485).
I had an immigration attorney who helped me with my VAWA case, but it was very expensive and I’m still paying that off. So now, to save money, I’m trying to do the AOS process on my own — taking my time, carefully reading all the USCIS instructions and making sure I do everything right.
Here’s where I need help from others who’ve gone through this:
While checking the USCIS fee schedule (Form G-1055), I noticed that for applicants filing under VAWA, it says the filing fee for the I-485 is $0. It sounds amazing — but honestly, it feels too good to be true 😅
The case manager from my attorney’s office told me I would still have to pay around $1,400 just in government filing fees, even without legal help. But now I’m seeing it written officially on the USCIS website that it’s $0 for VAWA self-petitioners, and I’m really confused.
So if you’ve been through this recently — especially if you got your VAWA approved this year and are applying for AOS — could you please tell me what your experience was?
Did you actually pay the filing fee or not?
Any help or confirmation would be really appreciated. Thank you so much! 🙏
Vawa initial review
Hi everyone,
Has anyone ever gotten this message on their i360 months after vawa and i485 has been approved. The same I360 receipt number. I didn’t send anything to them since approval. I mean, have had my Greencard in hand since Dec 2024. Perhaps it’s a glitch? 🤔

RFE - tips
Hi everyone! I recently received an RFE and had a meeting with my lawyers, but honestly, I’m feeling really insecure about the new strategy to demonstrate my value to the country. I have over 20 years of experience and hold two bachelor’s degrees, but USCIS is asking for more evidence. Has anyone else gone through something similar? Any tips on how to make my case more compelling?
AOS
it’s an approval thanks to the community for all your sharing experiences, I hope you can get answers soon! 🙏🏻
