congratulations 🎉
Hope in justiceNov 16, 2022
did you have an interview? how was it?
God’s daughterNov 16, 2022
did you do medical?
meeeeee meeeeeeNov 16, 2022
Congratulations. couple questions: 1) What was the rfe? 2)What was the basis of your expedite request that was denied? 3)How did the I-485 interview go and questions asked?
C CNov 16, 2022
lawfully updated my app with RFEs but we never received one. i don't know if it was a glitch but USCIS never really updated my case info on the website either or it was out of date.
C CNov 16, 2022
my interview was waived. partly because of the delay. i was originally scheduled in the wrong state. they fumbled the case for 4 months and it was finally transferred to my local filed office with support from my local Congressman.
God’s daughterNov 16, 2022
did you submit medical and congratulations again
C CNov 16, 2022
i received an RFE for the medical and sent it in. i redid my medical as they updated their forms in October and it clearly stated using an old form prior to October 2022 would be grounds for immediate denial. i did not want to risk it. some people do and it's approved but that's your decision.
C CNov 16, 2022
also I only requested one expedite request but they added 3. none were approved but I did get my work authorization renewed after it expired due to processing delays, which is what I asked for so idk why it says denied.
Hope in justiceNov 16, 2022
what is your field office?
C CNov 16, 2022
it was Chicago but I submitted 6 changes of address before uscis moved my case to San Antonio. once in San Antonio it was super fast and they approved me in less than 2 weeks after I sent my medical in.
victory🕺🕺🕺 .Nov 16, 2022
oh you mean you never received any rfe on I 360?
victory🕺🕺🕺 .Nov 16, 2022
hope in justice could you please share your timeline?
Hope in justiceNov 16, 2022
i submitted my vawa on feb 2020, and was approved on oct 22. now I’m waiting for I-485 approval that I submitted in July 2019 and requested to put in abeyance when I filed vawa
C CNov 16, 2022
correct no RFE on the i360. processing was ridiculously slow due to covid closures and moving state. my biometrics was scheduled in the wrong state and added delays.
C CNov 16, 2022
i suspect lots more approvals by January for those who are close. keep the faith and contact your local Congressman for status updates every 30 days.
princess PaulaNov 16, 2022
congratulations 👏
sally phillpeNov 16, 2022
congrats!
how long after submitting medical you received greencard? Thank you
C CNov 16, 2022
i sent my medical records by expedited delivery and they arrived on Oct 28. my Congressman wrote 5 days later to tell the liason officer my record was submitted and yesterday my case was updated. i did not expect a response until December or January. my deadline for the RFE was January 12. i submitted my medical within 2 weeks.
Sinsupa 1Nov 16, 2022
Do u reopen ur case again after it denied?? I confusing
C CNov 17, 2022
nope it was never denied. i received my approval on lawfully today. my card is being produced. i asssume a week or so shipping.
C CNov 17, 2022
my case was transferred from out of state and it was a long process than expected. USCIS did not make changing an address simple so all my appointments were managed in the wrong state. tx was a huge support in getting this approved 🙌
Sinsupa 1Nov 17, 2022
I just move to another state too and I did change address as well but how do I know if they didn't change address for me if I have appointments??
C CNov 17, 2022
ask your local Congressman to verify the address on file!!! do not assume it was updated. mine was at one point and stilll scheduled me incorrectly.
Sinsupa 1Nov 17, 2022
how to contact congressman is it free? do u pay?
C CNov 18, 2022
Google Congressman near me and it will give you their website. it is totally free. you sign a release form giving them permission to discuss your case. congressman have a contact line to communicate to field office and was the only way I got my case resolved. it is still months between correspondence but it helped me greatly.
C CNov 19, 2022
my card has been mailed out to me. good luck to everyone.
sally phillpeNov 19, 2022
congrats again! how many days/weeks after approved ——card mailed out ? Thanks
C CNov 19, 2022
3 days
sally phillpeNov 19, 2022
Thank you ! same case- I just sent out medical yesterday.
C CNov 21, 2022
good luck 👍
C CDec 1, 2022
Just a heads up USPS almost lost my card. My attorney was able to retrieve it from the postal service on my behalf as it was sent to their office.
Errol goodingDec 2, 2022
h is w king did you take to receive a receipt after filing your vawa self petetion ? I’ve been waiting exactly 3 months to date
C CDec 4, 2022
My PD was February 2020 and during covid closures so I'm guessing the timeline has changed. i think it was about 1 month after they confirmed it was received.
C CDec 4, 2022
It said new card produced Nov 22 and that usps picked it up 3 days later. took about a week to get to me including Thanksgiving.
C CDec 5, 2022
They sent me an RFE for my medical as my interview was wavered. I sent in my medical showing the October 2022 form and covid immunizations. i was approved 2 weeks later.
leone changDec 12, 2022
Congratulations! C C, I just did my medical exams for greencard after VAWA approval. Im just waiting for the result to send it to USCIS with my Atty. What is gonna happen next?
C CDec 13, 2022
you'll likely wait a few months and receive an interview notice. good luck!
Jack BrownJan 25, 2023
@C C How long time it took to receive I-360 approval notice in the mailbox after you got the online notification “We approved your I-360 petition”
I got approved 40 days ago, received Work authorization C31, but still haven’t received the approval notice in my mailbox.
Aj RAFApr 19, 2023
hi @C C did you first apply for i130 and was it approved or denied before applying for vawa? TIA
