I have a pending VAWA and I765 case however I was told that I can still file a I485 even though my case is not yet approved. *NOTE: I was married to a us citizen but I am recently divorced* does anyone have any idea on how this works and if I can still file my I485 even though my I360 and I765 is not yet approved. *NOTE: I am on my second prima facie and I recently received my biometrics appointment.

when did you file i360? yes you can file i485
Nunka 007Jul 1, 2021
yes you can
Shangie DNJul 1, 2021
I filed it March 2020
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
you can file for i485
Shangie DNJul 1, 2021
@s nos I am worried because I don’t have my I94 anymore USCIS removed it off the internet after I filed my I360 and I765 application so I don’t know how to get it back
Shangie DNJul 1, 2021
@s nos do I just send it to VSC (the same place I sent my VAWA case?
and when I am filing should I apply a cover letter explaining that I have a pending VAWA case?
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
i94 would not effect since you already applied you have to apply and tell them to hold the i485 in abeyance until you get your vawa approved
Shangie DNJul 1, 2021
@s nos isn’t it gonna be automatically held until I get my VAWA approval?
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
yup but do you have already i485 pending with i30?
Shangie DNJul 1, 2021
no I don’t I only have a pending I360 VAWA and a I765
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
did you file i30 at all?
Shangie DNJul 1, 2021
no I didnt
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
then you have to wait until vawa gets approved, cz as far as I know ppl who files i30 and i485 together can hold the i485 until it gets approved
Nunka 007Jul 1, 2021
you can file i485 anytime after vawa, that’s exactly what I did.
I file my vawa in April 2020 and I file my i765 and i485 in march 2021
Nunka 007Jul 1, 2021
if you have pending i485 base on your marriage, you need to withdraw that one because your spouse is petitioning that for you and file your own by yourself, then uscis will waive your filing fees
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
no, you don't need to withdraw it, after vawa is approved then it gets adjudicated. I still have it pending just gave fingerprints
Nunka 007Jul 1, 2021
I withdrew mine
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
my spouse didn't withdrew mine but sent me annulment in fraud 🤣
Nunka 007Jul 1, 2021
mine withdrew her i130
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
t
yeah then your old i485 won't work, but your lucky at least that's better than having annulment
Nunka 007Jul 1, 2021
s nos, did you do fingerprint two times?
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
@home boy I just did my
fingerprint two days ago for the first time in states. i hope
I get EAD. do you know how long it takes to issue ead affer fingerprint. my application been pending for 11 months
Nunka 007Jul 1, 2021
s nos, I don’t know because I think they gonna use my old finger print.
are you talking about the fingerprint for criminal records?
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
no no, fingerprint for actual application. I did fingerprint for criminal record before applying.
Nunka 007Jul 1, 2021
you get your work card pretty soon
tanzy flyJul 1, 2021
I been waiting 11 months now, not sure how long more will they take :(
Nunka 007Jul 1, 2021

tanzy flyJul 1, 2021

Nunka 007Jul 1, 2021

tanzy flyJul 1, 2021

Shangie DNJul 1, 2021
my first prima facie was valid for 1 year now I am on my second and it’s valid only for 6 months.
Shangie DNJul 1, 2021
@home boy did you wait until your VAWA was approved before you filed your i485?
tanzy flyJul 2, 2021
just got scheduled for interview idk why
Nunka 007Jul 2, 2021
@kimmy no, at first I thought I could not file both together
Shangie DNJul 2, 2021
@home boy so you filed your I485 after you filed the I360?
Nunka 007Jul 2, 2021
@kimmy yes I did
tanzy flyJul 2, 2021
@home boy do you know what should I do with the interview? not sure why I got it even though they know I have vawa pending
Nunka 007Jul 2, 2021
yes I sent it by myself
Nunka 007Jul 2, 2021
@s nos, if you have interview base on your spouse petition, go for the interview and tell the officer you have already put in for vawa
tanzy flyJul 2, 2021
thank you @home boy
Shangie DNJul 2, 2021
@anno I tried that and they told me to contact the airport of which I entered the country but they want me to come there and speak with immigration (NO THANK YOU) I’m not going last thing I need is to be detained right now I was told to just send it in I already requested to get my A file from USCIS so I’ll just wait and I’m the mean time I’ll send my I485 in
tanzy flyJul 2, 2021
@anno thank you, also, my ead has been pending 11 months now on c09 not sure if they will issue this or c31 I just gave fingerprint not too long ago
Shangie DNJul 2, 2021
another question @home boy on the I485 did you submit 2 passport size photos with your application?
Nunka 007Jul 2, 2021
no passport photograph
tanzy flyJul 2, 2021
@anno it still is showing it's processing so idk how will it be rejected. I applied combo together in august 2020 then applied i360 on October so I am confused they just took fingerprints on my i765 and i485 and got the intveiww scheduled soon too
Shangie DNJul 3, 2021
@anno semmio a immigration lawyer told me today you don’t have to because you have 2 years in which to file you just need to submit copies of your pending I360 and I765 receipts
tanzy flyJul 3, 2021
thank
you @anno
Shangie DNJul 3, 2021
@anno I think you are having it wrong I did not submit a I130 or I485
Shangie DNJul 3, 2021
I submitted my I360 along with my I765
Shangie DNJul 3, 2021
I did a straight VAWA petition there was no application sent before my VAWA
Shangie DNJul 3, 2021
and I did it all by myself doing my reaches and so far I haven’t made any mistakes on my applications I am on my second prima facie and I just received a letter to do my biometrics
Shangie DNJul 3, 2021
@anno that’s ok I figured that’s what happened
tanzy flyJul 3, 2021
@anno the Avvo lawyer are not helpful 😒
Shangie DNJul 4, 2021
@anno could you ask the person which number they called in order to get it plzzzz
soum issaJul 22, 2021
home boy did you get your vawa approved or no yet?
Nunka 007Jul 22, 2021
not approved yet
soum issaJul 22, 2021
okay keep us posted when you get your i360 approved
tanzy flyJul 22, 2021
@anno probably done looking at file until time reaches for them to approve, smh I am on the same page nothing yet. when was your Pd again?
tanzy flyJul 22, 2021
yes since last three months same update
tanzy flyJul 22, 2021
so I sent the files twice and somehow USCIS missed it so in between they asked everything in one rfe I guess they are satifisfied with whatever they have for now. my lawyer said it simply means they have received any information regarding my i360 and they are viewing it. trust me you're approved just wait until they issue your c31 or approval letter yorue closer to an end of it. did you have any interview for i485 yet?
tanzy flyJul 22, 2021
@anno trust In me let me know when you get approval if you're are concerned have your Congress to inquire on your behalf
