Q: Renewing SIJS for deferred action
Hi all, I have a question about renewing SIJS to maintain a deferred action (DA) status and would like some insight from someone that has gone through the process before.
My PD is August 2024, and I received DA for 4 years, which is set to expire in November 2028.
I realize that 2028 seems far away right now, but faced with the prospect of having to wait YEARS before I am able to apply for an EB4 green card, I want to be prepared for the future.
So can SIJS be renewed, and if so, does your DA get extended as well? #EB4 #SIJS #DeferredAction
cr1 visa process( Guyana 🇬🇾)
hey lawfully family, being on this app has helped me a lot through this process especially with vital information and with the friends that you meet along the way. we started this process almost two years ago and it has been rough with tears, joy, sadness, excitement among many other emotions. it’s been fustrating to say the least and finally we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I just want to share my timeline with you guys, so that I can contribute to the lawfully community for persons in search of answers just like I was and many of us were/are. I couldn’t have reach this far without having lots of faith, patience and hope through god whom I pray.
good luck to everyone going through process. you got this and soon you will reap the labor of your success ❤️

Vermont Service Center: I-130
VERMONT SC
Hey everyone,
Just checking in to see if anyone has seen any recent I-130 approvals from the Vermont Service Center lately (especially in April 2025). I just wanted to know if there is any movement as I never see any Vermont approvals
If you or someone you know got approved recently from Vermont, could you drop the PD and approval date? Would really appreciate any updates — trying to get a sense of whether things are finally moving.
Thanks in advance!
RFE received for i485
hello, please I have a question, I received an RFE for my i485 for Birth certificate and Medical and my lawyer wants to charge me again to complete that for me. My question is do I send Original birth certificate or copy? Also how can I locate the I-693 form for civil surgeon to fill out, and if you live in NJ any USCIS civil surgeon recommendations? I will appreciate a response. thanks
second i485 interview
my husband and I (USC) went to the first interview on Jan 2, 2025. the i130 was approved the next day. we just learned of a second i485 interview in May.
since the i130 was approved, does this mean that they believe our marriage is valid but something else may be going on? why are we called for a second interview? should we hire a lawyer?
