Case Processing
background check
I-130 approved after interview in August still awaiting decision no I-765 no I-485 approval. Contacted congressman and Uscis told congressman they can’t issue decision til third party background check is completed …. no criminal history here or home country not even a speeding ticket I-130 already approved what are they waiting on and how long does background checks take … also does it make sense late in this state to try and apply for a advanced parole

Baltimore Field Office: I-485
Hi, anyone here got approved from Baltimore field office? how long this office takes to approve? How do we know if this is a local field office or not?
My PD is current from this month. Not sure when my file moved to this field office. In January, Emma told me interview was waived. At that time it was in NBC.
good moral character ?
I filed VAWA myself in 2025 ( took me 2 years to prepare the evidence , and pre select it, package still was 120-200 pages long overall).
what do they mean by good moral character ? I have a clean police record, did some volunteer work some time ago, have my university and work at the same time…. I have witness writings from friends ( who are both Us citizens loving abroad) hoping that this helps but o wouldn’t know what they actually mean by good mortal character.
from abroad ( EU)
so my soon to be legally divorced husband was CID ( army). so of course police and army didn’t do shit ( but some within the army at least tried so there is that). took me 2 years filing VAWA ( had the interview, did the medical then was told the process had been withdrawn upon my behalf by my then husband). after that he went to the states, stopped paying me spousal support and left the army. well, having put my entire studies and career geared towards the US; plus having had a miscarriage , I felt like I didn’t have enough evidence, as well, he was someone working within army police… anyways so I sent everything in September 25, and got two receipts, both being the Notice of they have received it.
would there be a point of seeing why my ex withdrew the petition? o thought it was illegal to withdraw after the interview ? they just told me I needed to submit the medical, and I spent money on it…. #vawa #i130 #militaryspouseabuse #military #army
