Green card are finally approved
Testimony & Encouragement for Those Waiting on Their Green Card 🌟
To everyone still waiting and trusting God for their green card approval—I want to take a moment to encourage you: what God cannot do does not exist! 🙏🏾
After our interview at the USCIS office in San Diego, the officer told me and my children that we would hear back within a month. But instead of an approval, we received a Request for Evidence (RFE) asking for our birth certificates. I submitted those documents promptly… and waited.
Then, a month later, another RFE arrived—this time asking for an updated medical report. I obeyed, submitted it again, and continued to pray.
💥After 54 days of waiting, checking, and holding onto hope—our green card was approved!
Friends, I just want to encourage you: keep praying. Keep standing. Keep believing. God is faithful. He sees every detail of your story. And even when it seems like things are delayed or uncertain, He is still working.
Me and my family are praying for all of you still in the process. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. Your testimony is on the way too. 🙌🏾
Praise the Lord
My own time has come to testify! 13 years after moving to this country as an F1 student… to marrying the wrong person…. my words fail me…. Thank you Jesus! Anyone who has questions on the Vawa process I’m available to answer!

I-485 transferred to different field offices -EB1a principal and beneficiary
My spouse is primary applicant under Eb1-a and I’m the beneficiary. we both are under own H1B currently.
my spouse case was transferred to Cleveland FO and mine to San Jose FO( local FO I guess?) . what could be the reason? we got to know this from Emma agent.
will I have an interview? is it common for beneficiary having interview and not principal?
hi family vawa
I have a question. Today I received a notification indicating that my i485 application was transferred to another office for processing. What does that mean? I filed my application in December 2022. My i360 has already been approved.
Tengo una pregunta. Hoy recibí una notificación indicando que mi solicitud i485 fue transferida a otra oficina para su procesamiento. ¿Qué significa eso?
Presenté mi solicitud en diciembre de 2022. Mi i360 ya fue aprobado.
