IR1 – DQ Sept 23 | Mumbai Embassy | Still waiting for interview
Hi everyone,
My IR-1 (spouse of USC) case was documentarily qualified (DQ) on Sept 23, and my case is assigned to the Mumbai embassy.
know Mumbai has a heavy backlog, but I wanted to check:
Anyone here with similar DQ dates for Mumbai?
How long did it take you to receive your IL after DQ?
Any recent experiences or timelines would really help.
Thanks 🙏
Anyone still waiting for VAWA approval from December 2021
Hello everyone,
I filed my VAWA (I-360) in December 2021 and I’m still waiting for approval 😔. My attorney recently sent an inquiry to USCIS regarding both I-360 and I-485, and I was told to wait a few months for a response from USCIS.
Is anyone else here who filed around December 2021 and is still waiting?If your attorney sent an inquiry, how long did it take for USCIS to respond? Any experiences or timelines would really help.
Thank you in advance, and wishing strength to everyone going through this process 💙

San Francisco Field Office desicion after interview
I completed my EB3 green card (I-485) interview on September 26, 2025, at the San Francisco Field Office.
During the interview, the officer mentioned that I would receive a response within a week, but it has now been more than 100 days, and I still haven't heard anything from USCIS.
I'd like to ask if anyone else who had their interview at the same office has received a decision yet, and how long it took for USCIS to respond.
also someone know when i can submit a congress inquiry or an outside process time inquiry to UCIS.
My priority date is December 6, 2022, under the "All Other Countries" category. meaning that my date is ready go receive approval.
Withdrawing a VAWA Petition After RFE Response - Implications with a Pending EB2 NIW AOS
I have a pending VAWA (I-360) petition where I already responded to an RFE, but the decision is taking a very long time.
My situation is a bit specific: I also have an approved EB2 NIW petition, and my I-485 adjustment of status application from that NIW is currently pending.
My questions for the community are:
1. Is it possible to voluntarily withdraw my VAWA petition at this stage, after having submitted the RFE response?
2. What are the potential implications of doing this, especially since I have a separate green card application (I-485) already in process based on my EB2 NIW?
3. Could withdrawing the VAWA petition affect my pending I-485 or any future immigration applications?
If anyone has gone through a similar situation or has insights on the procedural and strategic aspects, I would greatly appreciate your advice.
EAD taking too long
hello everyone, I’ve never commented on this community before but I use it to track my cases. my I-765 has been on the same update for almost 5 months now and I really don’t know what to do as I need to start working. I sent an expedite on November 13, 2025 and got it denied on November 20th for “not enough evidence” my question is should I reach out to my senetaors or just start looking for work without authorization…
Based on a pending I-485 adjustment application
