GOOD NEWS
GOOD NEWS FOR IMMIGRANT SURVIVORS: A federal judge has temporarily stopped ICE from routinely arresting, detaining, and deporting certain immigrants with pending VAWA self-petitions, U visa petitions, and T visa petitions.
In Immigration Center for Women and Children v. Noem, the court blocked ICE's January 2025 enforcement policy and restored important victim-centered protections nationwide. The ruling protects three principal groups: 1.
People with pending VAWA, U visa, or T visa cases whom ICE detains or seeks to detain. 2. People with pending U or T cases who received deferred action. ICE cannot simply disregard that protection or treat it as revoked without notice and an opportunity to respond. 3. Detained people with pending U or T petitions and final removal orders who request a stay before removal. ICE should not deport them before USCIS makes a preliminary eligibility determination.
Deferred action does not necessarily mean that the U or T visa was finally approved. It is temporary protection from deportation while the case remains pending. A bona fide determination means the case passed an initial USCIS review. A U visa waiting-list determination means USCIS found the petition approvable, but no visa is currently available because of the annual cap. Final approval is when USCIS actually grants U or T nonimmigrant status.
Approved VAWA beneficiaries also have important protections under ICE's victim-centered directive.
However, an approved VAWA I-360 is not yet a green card and does not automatically erase a removal order. Lawful permanent residence is obtained when the I-485 is approved. If you have been detained, have an upcoming ICE check-in, or have a final removal order, speak with an experienced immigration attorney immediately.

Is this real? My Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence) was transferred to another USCIS office on January 17, 2025. My Form I-360 was approved on May 22, but there is no news regarding my residency, which makes me anxious. Both applications were filed on April 22, 2022. Is anyone else in the same situation?

I haven't contacted any member of Congress, but I did ask the lawyer to make an inquiry, because I understand that the timeframe has already been significantly exceeded.
