Finally Got Approved 🎉🎊
The journey has been great, after receiving my work permit and social security card I got busy and started to work hard. I got certified in a field that I love then stayed focus. I know it’s very nerve racking for some but you have to trust the process.

Interview today at the Orlando field #interview
Today, I had my interview at the Orlando drop zone. It was scheduled for 10:45 AM, but I was seen around 2 PM. A woman interviewed me—she was super friendly and playful. The interview lasted about 30 minutes, and in the end, I felt that it went really well. She mentioned that we should have a response within three weeks at most. I’m feeling confident and hopeful that everything will work out! 🙏#interview
I-485 Denied in 2020, but VAWA Approved in 2024 – What Are My Options?
Hi everyone,
I really need advice on my case. My VAWA was approved in July 2024, and my attorney told me that I could continue with my I-485 (originally filed in 2019) had not been updated since 2019. My attorney said they had notified USCIS about my VAWA approval and requested them to continue processing my I-485, so they advised me to wait.
However, after months of no updates, I contacted my congressional representative, and today they informed me that USCIS actually denied my I-485 back in June 2020. I was never notified about this before, and I’m extremely frustrated because if I hadn’t reached out, I would still be waiting without knowing that my I-485 was no longer valid.
I have already requested USCIS to resend the official denial notice, but I know it may take time. In the meantime, I’m trying to figure out my options , Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
