2023 Vawa filers
Any 2023 folks got VAWA approved yet? I am March 2023 and i recently got an update on my I360 that 'Name was updated'. What does this mean and when can we 2023 folks start seeing approvals?

@okis flores Your lawyer is gaslighting you 🫠 unfortunately there are many unprofessional and money grabbing attorneys around 🥲 just look at the processing time trend and you'll see it yourself
processing time is just under 4 years and it's getting longer every month 😔😔😔

so I have had the same thing since July 2023 and nothing has changed up until today. I filed in December 2022. If you changed a lawyer, that could be a reason.

@leo mull I filed in December 2022 and got my work permit and travel document ( combo card) in November 2023

“Name was updated” is usually a clerical or internal update. It does not mean approval is guaranteed or imminent. VAWA cases can take a long time, and 2023 filings may still be pending. Keep your address safe/current, renew EAD/AP on time, and monitor for RFE or decision.
