"New Card Is Being Produced" on my I-360 (not C31 or C09) – Is this VAWA approval or just my C09 EAD?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to understand a recent USCIS update and would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced the same thing.
My timeline:
VAWA (I-360): Filed February 22, 2022 (EAC/Vermont)
I-485 & C31 EAD: Filed June 2022
C09 EAD: Filed April 2, 2025
Congressional inquiry and expedite request approved.
Biometrics completed on May 1, 2026.
USCIS issued an RFE on my I-360.
I responded, and on June 2, 2026, the status changed to "Response to USCIS' Request for Evidence Was Received."
Yesterday my statuses changed to:
I-360 (EAC): New Card Is Being Produced
C09 (IOE): USCIS is currently processing the case (same generic message)
C31 (separate receipt): Correspondence Was Received and USCIS Is Reviewing It
I-485: Case Transferred to Another Office
Lawfully marks the I-360 as "Approved" because it says "New Card Is Being Produced."
My questions:
Has anyone had "New Card Is Being Produced" appear on the I-360 receipt number instead of the C31 or C09?
Did it end up being VAWA approval with a C31 EAD, or was it actually just a C09 EAD approval?
If it was VAWA approval, how many days later did you receive the approval notice and the EAD?
I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone with a similar experience.
Thank you!
