travel permit denied
Hello,,
I need help understanding why my Advance Parole (I-131) was denied.
I first filed I-130 and I-485 in 2021 based on marriage. In 2024, I had an interview scheduled. But before that, I had already filed for VAWA about 1.5 years earlier. My lawyer told me not to attend the marriage interview because we asked USCIS to transfer my I-485 to VAWA. We sent all VAWA documents.
My I-485 was denied because I did not attend the interview.
After that, my lawyer filed a new I-485 in September 2024 based on VAWA. I received a new work permit. But my new I-131 was denied. USCIS said I already had Advance Parole approved. That approval was from my old (denied) I-485, so my lawyer applied again. It was denied again.
I have no criminal history. I came on a tourist visa. Also I am not from any listed banned country.
Processing times are also getting longer. When I applied, it was 35 months. Now it shows 46 months.
Please let me know if anyone had a similar situation.
Thank you,
VAWA

I haven't received it yet in hand, but last time they tried to deliver, they missed it. Today is day 124, and I still haven't received anything. My attorney submitted an e-request, but they said to wait 160 days. As you know, we can't wait that long, so I told my lawyer to call USCIS. I was worried they missed my RFE because i submitted Vawa almost 3 years so i was hoping that RFE because previous RFE was expired before 3 months, even though I don't know how they could have missed it because I haven't changed my address in four years and have always received all receipts and PFDs. Long story short, they called USCIS to inquire after 70 days, and USCIS said it was a PFD, nothing else today is day 124 still waiting.
also I saw your time line you received RFE what they were asking have you expedite your case ?
tired from waitingg39m
your lawyer kinda messed up had to hold marriage 485 as abeyance and no need to send new 485

I have told them multiple times to transfer my I-485 from I-130 to I-360, but he said that when they submitted the full packet of I-360 in June 2023, they mentioned a pending I-485 receipt. Still, after one year, USCIS scheduled me for an I-485 based on marriage. So, my lawyer sent them the packet again, describing that I had applied for VAWA and all, so USCIS rescheduled. My lawyer and I thought they had now transferred my I-485 based on VAWA, but after two months, they scheduled again. So, the lawyer did the same thing with all VAWA receipts and sent everything. This repeated every two months, three times in total. So, the lawyer was sending and calling USCIS about my case, but after the fourth time, they just denied it. The reason was that I didn't attend the interview after I had 60 days. So, the lawyer thought to file a new I-485. USCIS is very complicated nowadays to deal. I have approved my I-131 based on a denied I-485. Still, they denied my new I-131 because I had a previously approved one that expired in 2029. However, my lawyer said if the I-485 is denied, that means whatever approval was based on it also gets denied. But I don't know what's going on. Just frustrating all this situation we already betrayed by spouse and now by uscis waiting keep increasing months every month.
