Case Approved
Finally, Green card
Finally, I made it to the final round. I am excited to share my timeline. My application was completed 6 days before the one-year mark. My case was handled by the Baltimore office. Fingers crossed for everyone!

My VAWA case has just been approved
It's just been approved without interview last night and now it says I can receive my green card soon. This journey took over 2 years. I am so happy with it. People told me it wouldn't work out because I am a man, not a woman. So I applied it anyway, but on the other hand, I was always worried a bit. I really appreciate my attorney and friends who wrote the statements for me. Hope all you can also get your green card.

VAWA based GREEN CARD APPROVED, NO INTERVIEW
Here's a quick summary of my journey.
Jan 2020 - reached out to an attorney. He suggested applying for VAWA.
For the next 3 years, I'd get a lot of EAD every year, sometimes with gaps which resulted in the employer laying me off due to no work authorization.
I wasn't able to travel either until I finally received my travel permit I-131 in April 2022 which was valid for one year until April 2023.
Mar 2023 - VAWA petition approved.
Aug 2023 - I-485 RFE - medical exam
Nov 2023 - Today I received an email from my lawyer with a photocopy of my green card. I checked MyUSCIS and it confirms that my I-485 was approved last week.
This was my journey of about 4 years from the beginning of applying for VAWA until my green card was approved.
There's another 5 years before that where I had to deal with USCIS, spouse, divorce, etc. that part was all done without a lawyer and I wish I had picked one sooner. After 9 years my struggle finally ends and I am a free person who can travel and see the world.
It seems like my green card was approved without needing to do an interview.
Good luck everyone, I'm out #vawa #ead #greencard
Poll Results (Waiting time after submitting RFE)
Few days ago, I created a poll to get insights on the waiting time until decision after RFE was received by USCIS. 52 Folks voted. Below are the results:
1-5 days = 15%
5-10 days = 15%
10-30 days = 10%
30-60 days = 8%
More than 60 days = 52%
It means that around 50% of the cases are processed within 2 months. Perhaps I would need to create another poll for the folks whose priority date is current only. #EB2NIW #I485 #i693 #approval
