Case Processing
Has anyone received I-485 approval after an arrest with no conviction?
Hi everyone,
Has anyone here been arrested in the past and later received approval for Adjustment of Status (I-485), especially under EB-3 Unskilled?
In my case, I was arrested, but the court case was later dismissed by ACD and sealed. I did not plead guilty, and there was no conviction. USCIS has now issued an RFE requesting the arrest and court records.
I have collected the Certificate of Disposition and the other available court documents.্
If anyone has gone through a similar situation, could you please share:
Whether your I-485 was approved,
Whether USCIS scheduled an interview,
I am only looking for personal experiences, not legal advice.
Thank you.

Urgent Legal Help Needed: Crossover VAWA, Immigration Removal Defense, and Family Law Fraud
I need an attorney for an urgent immigration/family law crisis. I live in Stockton. My removal proceedings were administratively closed on Sept 4, 2025, at Concord court. I have a Prima Facie in pending VAWA (I-360) and I-485 based on spousal abuse. My spouse recently filed for divorce in Sutter County, but I haven't been served. We separated in May 2023 with no contact. She is now pregnant and committed bigamy by marrying in India on Jan 10, 2026. I have clear proof: our CA marriage certificate and translated records. I am under severe stress. My father passed away, and my mother is in India awaiting a postponed open-heart surgery (CABG). I cannot get emergency travel permission because my court case is closed instead of fully terminated. Meanwhile, my trucking business is collapsing because my CDL was downgraded due to my pending status.I want to hire a firm to expose this fraud in family court, file a Motion to Terminate my removal proceedings, and expedite my VAWA case.

Are Immigration Attorneys Creating More Fear Than Clarity?
Sometimes I feel like U.S. immigration is taking so long not because of the system itself, but because of the constant noise surrounding it.
Every day we see posts asking: Is it safe to travel on Advance Parole? Is domestic travel safe? Is it safe to travel with a Green Card?
There are millions of immigrants, and every case is unique. Of course there will always be people who are detained despite having a Green Card, people whose Advance Parole is revoked, or people who face unexpected issues with their immigration cases. Those situations are real, but they are not everyone’s experience.
What concerns me is that every time a new policy comes out, social media immediately fills with videos and posts focusing on the worst-case scenarios. Sometimes it feels like all of this attention ends up creating even more scrutiny. It’s almost as if the more fear is spread, the more attention is drawn to these cases.
I understand that attorneys need to educate people and share important legal updates, but I also think that constant fear-based content can make the immigration process feel even more stressful than it already is.
so that they can make more money.
That’s just my personal opinion.
what next ?
my vawa is approved last year !
and back in January I did the biometric for my adjustment of status
since I have no updated
anyone knows what gonna happen after ? I’m a lil worried

EAD
I am a VAWA applicant and would appreciate some advice. I need to renew my Employment Authorization Document (EAD). I initially filed under the C31 category in June 2025, but I have not received any approval yet. Do you think I should submit a new Form I-765 under the C09 category instead? Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice to share? Thank you.
I-485 Approved
After waiting so long for this news, after nearly four years, we were finally approved! All the glory and honor belong to God. He has been faithful every step of the way. Praise God🙏
