Case Status not updating
My case was received by USCIS on January 20, 2022. My case is vawa. All applications filed together: I-360, I-485, I-212, I-601, i-131 and i-175. I got the notice of receipts in February (the notice date on the 797’s are February 1, 2022). The only notice of receipt I haven’t received is for the 601. My attorney used mixed versions of the application and had to resend ghe part on the outdated application. It was resent the end of February. In late March I got the biometrics appointment letter and then went for my biometrics on April 11, 2022. So my case all showed “received” since January 20. It never updated to show biometrics appointment issued. Then when I went to do my biometrics the only one that updated was my 485, but my 360 and 765 still show received. I was hoping at least my 765 would be updated as I am anxious to receive my work permit. All of my applications were sent to Vermont Service Center. A friend of mine spouse went to their biometrics and everything was updated correctly and they have already received their EAD. Their biometrics was 2 weeks before mine and they applied 2 weeks before me. Is this normal for things not to be updated? Is anyone familiar with vawa cases? Thank you.

sam singhApr 14, 2022
I applied in dec end. and biometrics was for I485 n I360 in the end of March. and it has been only updated to I485.

sam singhApr 14, 2022
and one more thing can u check what is your class requested in I765 receipt?
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
AO - no, my 360 and 765 have different receipt numbers. sam singh - I guess i am not the only one. It is hard to not get anxious when we cannot rely on our cases showing updated. It is hard to follow. I hope we both get an update soon.

Sam Singh - the class requested shows C09P

@jose great! and don’t worry everything will be great.. and your bio appointment letter had 2 applications right? I485&I360?
s
sam singhApr 14, 2022
@jose and your friend got the ead ? when did he applied?
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
@sam yes it had both the i360 and i485. My friend applied in December and got the notice of receipt maybe around January 2. His case is 2 weeks before mine on everything. He applied 2 weeks before me, his notice of receipts was 2 weeks before mine, biometrics 2 weeks before mine. He got his EAD maybe a week after his biometrics appt.

@Jose, it is totally understandable to get anxious, but i have seen people getting thier approvals even without getting updates. if you took your fingerprints and photo, be rest assured that they have it in their system and do not worry. Sometimes it depends on which officer has your file. You not seeing it not updated in your case file does not mean that they have not applied your prints to your case. Also, I think now they are processing EADs for people from September. I saw one person from September 2021 got an approval April 1. My Vawa case is Dec 6, so am still in line..hang in there 🙏🏾
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
I almost forgot, with my case my attorney sent my FBI clearance and my police clearance showing my clean record too. I don’t know if that may help to speed up the EAD process.
L
Leo LanceApr 14, 2022
@Jose, have you received your Prima Facie?? that also takes a while and some people don't even get it at all and still get approved. These people are so unpredictable 😭😭
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
@Leo thank you for the reassurance. Hopefully we all get our EAD’s and approvals soon. Even just having my EAD will make me feel a lot calmer while waiting in the rest of my case.
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
@Leo yes i did get it remarkably. I think I got it 5 weeks exactly after my receipt date.
L
Leo LanceApr 14, 2022
@Jose, that is perfect then. mine took almost 3 months to get the PF.. but i thank God i got it. Just pray you don't get any RFEs!
s
sam singhApr 14, 2022
@jose your friend’s ead got approved so quick. lucky. maybe 2022 fillers are getting approval faster. best of luck.
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
@Leo yeah I know. That’s what I’m praying I don’t get. My attorney is expensive, but yesterday they got 50 approvals in for this week. she has really good statistics so I am hopeful. 🙏🏽
L
Leo LanceApr 14, 2022
@Jose, i was in the same position as you, freaking out, sleepless nights, but i got exhausted 😭😭. Just Pray, only God has all your answers and his timing is the best and he knows your struggles. We should be thankful at least we have the PF.. can you imagine not getting PF? you will be going crazy by now 😭😭
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
@Sam i pray us that filed in 2022 and you guys too get approved really soon. I know we all need it. Best of luck to you too.
L
Leo LanceApr 14, 2022
@Jose, are your friends a VAWA case??
AD DAApr 14, 2022
Hi Jose, congratulations on your approval! Can I please know what evidence you sent for your vawa case?
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
@Leo you are correct. I keep praying and being faithful. That is all we can do. And yes, I am very thankful too that I got my PF. Without that I would be much more nervous.
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
@Leo no his is just an AOS I485. He already had a non immigrant visa, got married here and then was eligible to adjust status.
L
Leo LanceApr 14, 2022
@Jose, ooh i see.. now you can't compare your case with your friends.. it's like comparing mangoes and apples. 😂😂
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
@AD well mine is not completely approved yet. Only have my prima facie. I am still waiting to get my EAD and AP. Then will have to do my interview for my i485 if my vawa is approved. My attorney honestly did all the hard work and put my evidence packet together. My statement letter, support letters and letters of good moral character, all the documentation needed, my ties to USA, bills, insurances, other documents to help prove vawa being legitimate, FBI clearance and police clearance. That is just some of it all. My attorney did a really good job to make my case strong. I know I have the best chance possible.
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
@Leo yes you are right. It is too bad we cannot get approved so quickly like him. 😅
t
tanzy flyApr 14, 2022
PF doesn't mean 100 percent your case will get approved. some people get approved without PF and for vawa bio it will never show on the case other than i765 or i485

2022 filerApr 14, 2022
I did my biometric tues. and it was only updated to my I-485 form too. no worries hun we will all get through
J
Jose AApr 14, 2022
@tanzy oh yes i understand. My attorney was very good to explain to me about the possible outcomes.

we will receive ou EAD and AP soon!!!🎉 let’s give it another two weeks

Lab 005Apr 14, 2022
I did my biometrics since August 2021 and it was only applied to the i485 and my case has not been updated since then. I have also not received my EAD till now
God Above allApr 15, 2022
@leo they reused my biometrics from asylum case, Vawa case received September 2021 but didn’t receive any rfe or PF I’m just hanging in there
God Above allApr 15, 2022
@2022filer me same thing they reused my biometrics but didn’t even get an update on my I360 or I-485
L
Leo LanceApr 15, 2022
@Kalel, wow, that is a long while coz i know it takes about 3 months to receive PF.. but do not worry, sometimes you want them to be silent.. it means things are ok.. I don't think you will receive any RFE if until now you haven't heard from them. You should get your EAD soon. I saw someone from September 13 getting his approval for EAD. Hang in there. Give it couple of weeks. Pls let us know if you get approval for EAD.
God Above allApr 15, 2022
@Leo thanks so much for giving me hope I’m really feeling bad about it but as long as I didn’t recieve the RFE let me be more patient and see what comes up
L
Leo LanceApr 15, 2022
@kalel, please don't, hang in there. i have seen people like you and they suddenly saw their status change to card being produced. It all depends on the officer you get. I guess some officers don't feel the need to issue out a PF.. and yes i know PF does not mean approval but for Sanity purposes it helps lol... better for them to be silent than issuing an RFE. You don't want that. Remember, when the Sun goes down, Stars come out! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
God Above allApr 15, 2022
@Leo thanks again let me even sleep this has made my day.
J
Jose AApr 15, 2022
@Leo that is very good advice, that you want USCIS to be silent that it means everything is ok. That is very helpful, it helps me a lot too. Thank you for sharing that. You’re right, we definitely don’t want a RFE so no news is much better than getting that. Hopefully the next news we hear is some good news and we at least get our EADs soon. 🙏🏽 I am praying for all of us.
L
Leo LanceApr 15, 2022
@Jose, most definitely! they say no news is good news! yes RFE is the worst.. it slows the process. Fingers crossed!

J

No updates on my case yet. @suleyman I had to apply for i601 because of dui from my past. I was young and am different man now but I still have to answer and explain for my past.

@2022 filer, I am a VAWA filer and I only filed my I-360 without the I-485 because of financial constraints. Does that mean I will not receive an EAD until I have filed an I-485 too? Btw, I filed my I-360 January 17 2023, received PF March 08, received biometric appointment for April 14.
