Case Processing
Beware of Spam Calls
Suspicious call from +1 (888) 673-6978 claiming to be DHS. I did not provide any info. She mentioned my University name and that I came in with student visa which I did not and I ended the call. I sent in Ar-11 at first and so I was initially afraid if that might have prompted the call. Also I don’t have a lawyer and thinking whether to add one at this stage even though I have multiple prima facies with no rfe. I know these kind of calls can be annoying and but let’s hold on with faith.
Submitted (Oct 14), receipt notice (Oct 16), biometric reused (Oct 24), spouse EAD approved (Oct 28), my EAD applied and approved (Nov 28 & Jan 16). Case approved for VD (today for both)!
USCIS refreshed our case first on Dec 23, closed our TPS on Dec 30, closed my OPT EAD on Jan 5, closed my spouse’s EAD on Jan 9, closed my EAD on Jan 16, refreshed our cases on Feb 11 pre and during office hours. Approved my first and my spouse’s sometime after an hour!
Can USCIS Approve an I-140 If the Applicant’s Country Is Under an Immigrant Visa Ban (temporary)?
Very important question to clarify some confusion.
If a country is temporarily banned from immigrant visa issuance at U.S. consulates, can a petitioner still obtain I-140 approval from USCIS?
In other words, does a consular immigrant visa restriction affect USCIS’s adjudication of the I-140 petition itself, or would USCIS still approve the I-140 while visa issuance is simply paused at the consular level?
I would really appreciate input from anyone who has experience or reliable information on this. Thank you.

VAWA I-360 Approved — Medical Request & Interview Timelin
Has anyone had an I-485 interview after their I-360 was approved?
How long did you wait for a medical request after your I-360 approval? (I filed my I-360 and I-485 together 4 years ago.)
How long after USCIS received your medical exam did they schedule an interview? Did anyone receive their green card by mail without an interview?
If you had an interview, what kind of questions did they ask? Did they ask anything about the abuse?

DMV Cancellation of REAL ID
I recently received an email from the DMV stating that my REAL ID driver’s license would be canceled. I went to the DMV office today to update my documents; however, my green card has already expired, and I only have the extension letter from my filed Removal of Conditions. As a result, they canceled my REAL ID and issued me an AB-16 license instead. I would like to know if you’ve had a similar experience or how this was handled in your case.
travel permit denied
Hello,,
I need help understanding why my Advance Parole (I-131) was denied.
I first filed I-130 and I-485 in 2021 based on marriage. In 2024, I had an interview scheduled. But before that, I had already filed for VAWA about 1.5 years earlier. My lawyer told me not to attend the marriage interview because we asked USCIS to transfer my I-485 to VAWA. We sent all VAWA documents.
My I-485 was denied because I did not attend the interview.
After that, my lawyer filed a new I-485 in September 2024 based on VAWA. I received a new work permit. But my new I-131 was denied. USCIS said I already had Advance Parole approved. That approval was from my old (denied) I-485, so my lawyer applied again. It was denied again.
I have no criminal history. I came on a tourist visa. Also I am not from any listed banned country.
Processing times are also getting longer. When I applied, it was 35 months. Now it shows 46 months.
Please let me know if anyone had a similar situation.
Thank you,
VAWA

card destroyed
Hi, there.Just wanna share a little update.So I made a post stating that they made a typographic error on my all my receipt notice and and produce my EAD card with that same misspelled name.However , when my lawyer got my receipt and notice he saw the error , he did a e requests let them know that the error was made and it needs to be addressed.
Unfortunately, they did not honor that request.So he did the second option , which is to send it by mail so he send a letterhead explanation stating what happened
evidence that all my form was correctly filed with my correct last name a copy of my birthcertificate, , a copy of my passport evidence that the e request was requested , but not honored and a copy of my signature so I got an update on February 11th, stating that the card was received and it was destroyed so hopefully prayed that I get my card back ASAP..
I know this is a long road my advice to everyone. Just have patience have faith persons who haven't received their receipt. Notice it took me six months and two weeks to receive mines and the week after I got the other notice with my schedule to do my biometric so I hope this help anyone who is waiting notices.
