I485 vawa
this is so frustrating I thought my case was on the path of approval and yesterday updated to “updated to show biometric and fingerprint were taken” now the app prediction says it may take even longer 😭 I’ve been searching here and couldn’t find a lot of cases in the same situation. does anyone know if it’s normal or experiencied this? so tired of waiting.

@B. M. by next week you should have approved 1-2 weeks
Zillionnaire OAug 23, 2024
It's possible they started reviewing your case, and are making sure you did all the necessary things that need to be done before your case can be approved. And which includes biometrics. So, they are now righting their wrongs to make sure that nothing is missing before giving the approval verdict.
B. M.Aug 23, 2024
Thanks guys!!! That’s a relief to hear, it didn’t make sense for me to have a even longer wait when they already have everything. 🙏🏼
B. M.Aug 23, 2024
@kim kim and congrats on your gc!! 🍀
kim kimAug 23, 2024
@B. M. thank you it was a journey but worth it
Niki DAug 23, 2024
I’m on my 1430 days total…I got that update a month ago…
Few of us have the same situation…
Our time is coming hopefully 🤞 🙏🙏🤞
kim kimAug 23, 2024
@b.m if rfe notice Said waiting on medical to make final decision it means interview will be waive and you go green soon.
me & youAug 23, 2024
you are close and it wont take more than a month or less. I felt same way till I got my own approval yesterday. it’s a relief and I believe everyone here is close to theirs
Kerry SAug 23, 2024
@B. M. the update said biometrics because that's literally the most recent update. You are on the path of approval because at least there's movement on your application. Just relax. A watched pot never boils! :)
B. M.Aug 23, 2024
@Niki D yes, I found your timeline too when looking for similar updates just wanted to have an idea of approval time. but hopefully is coming 🙏🏼
B. M.Aug 23, 2024
@kim kim my lawyer has the notice but I will ask her to send it over, hopefully 🤞🏻
B. M.Aug 23, 2024
@me & you amen!!! 🙏🏼 congrats on your cg!!!
B. M.Aug 23, 2024
@Kerry S I understand that but biometrics was done 3 years ago and I haven’t seen that update on a lot of timelines here before approval. the wait is getting to me but we’ll get there. 🤞🏻🙏🏼
Esther AnnAug 23, 2024
@B. M. you need to file I-765 so you can get EAD else you'll have to wait 4 years till your Vawa is approved
Mrkvica M.Aug 23, 2024
you'll get a decision in few days
Ann AnnAug 23, 2024
Mine is similar.March 1 2021 here...today is 1270 days..VAWA approved in December..waiting on I485
Charlaprince princelachar Aug 24, 2024
This is a good time to seat back and relax. They are actively reviewing your case in my opinion.
Lana PAug 24, 2024
@Niki D I am waiting longer. And there is no light at the end of the tunnel
Niki DAug 24, 2024
Lana P: where you are with your appeal??…I see they lost your medical…that is super frustrating and unfortunate!!!...anything happened since you sent them your appeal ?
do they responded back? ..any update?
Lana PAug 24, 2024
@Niki D they granted appeal in April. But!!!! They sent the RFE for medical to old address of my lawyer. And it is expired already (request). I even didn’t know that they sent some letter. I called in June twice, spoke to Tier 2 officer, they told you have to wait for RFE(it means they still haven’t sent it) or call in August. I called and what do you think?!🙈 They stated we sent it in April and it is expired in July!!!! Can you believe! WTF?! Again???? I went to FO (made infopass), they told they will figure out why it happened. Hopefully without appeal this time🙏🏻
Niki DAug 24, 2024
wow…that’s crazy….I’m sorry for you….
.. hopefully they will figure out, because it’s definitely a huge mistake from them…
I believe you will be fine, they will correct it and then approve you for GC possibly faster!
Try to keep calling them and ask them where they are with the process…
fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞
Lana PAug 24, 2024
@Niki D I am waiting for their call. The officer promised to call back and sent RFE so I can bring the medical to FO without sending it by mail. Hopefully she will keep her promise. Let’s see. But thank you for encouraging 🙏🏻 And yes, both times it was their mistake. But we pay for it🤬
God is goodAug 24, 2024
the prediction is not accurate. don’t worry!
God is goodAug 24, 2024
it should be a month from now
bless EmmaAug 26, 2024
mine updat biometric was done since June still waiting
augustin boumiSep 24, 2024
uscis needs to apply your biometric, photo to your i 485 case before to produice the green card...i think it the last step .. so they use the former biometric the one we did 4 ou 5 years ago.. im in same boat with you. i did interview 2 years ago. its now my case changed to fingerprints were taken.. so good sign for us
augustin boumiSep 25, 2024
if you get approved let me know.. we are in same boat.. our cases look similaire
B. M.Oct 19, 2024
@augustin boumi I had my interview Tuesday and finally got approved 😭🙏🏼 you?
augustin boumiOct 21, 2024
congrats.. i told you.. i have the same update and im waiting. but i already had my interview
