My VAWA & I-485 Experience — Looking for Others in the Same Situation
Hi everyone, I wanted to share a bit about my VAWA case and see if anyone else is going through something similar. My VAWA (Form I-360) was approved in March 2024, and my I-485 adjustment of status has been pending since December 2020 — almost 2 years since the approval with no RFE, interview, or update from USCIS. My lawyer and Senator Warren’s office both submitted inquiries, but the response was just that my case is “still under review.” I also recently renewed my EAD (C31 category). This long wait has been very stressful, especially after everything I went through before VAWA. I’d love to hear if anyone else has a similar timeline or got approved recently — it would really help me stay hopeful. 💛
