so they never approve your i-485

??

This is not good. Do they ask you anything about your marriage? Or maybe they have previous issue with I-130/i-485 that you filed ? This means they had written to Vermont and probably submitted additional info to Vermont Center about your previous case

wahala!!

my I-485 was not approved. they asked for additional evidence which I have submitted before… like birth certificate ( they never received it when I submitted it as response to RFE) and divorce certificate.

I never had a previous interview because it was canceled because Covid was declared during that period before the interview. so the only interview I went for was the Vawa interview. so the officer requested for more documents during my I-485 interview after my I-360 has been approved.

where was your field office ?

@Mr Mak. it’s was at El-Paso field office

@O O The wait is frustrating. Hoping that you get approved pretty soon. What questions did they ask on your interview and what documents did they request during your interview?

@ I’m Blessed. They just asked questions about my marriage, why didn’t I have an interview during my marriage period and I told them it was canceled due to Covid. actually my interview was scheduled and immediately Covid happened and it was canceled. The additional documents were Birth certificate from my home country, marriage certificate and Medicals.

@O O, I can understand your frustration and concern! I was there and I pray for you not to wait too long before approval. I went through hell in my case which makes me more knowledgeable now. My I 360 was approved for four years and one month before they finally approved me. I got so frustrated and depressed but like I said, worry less and focus more on positive thoughts, God will come through for you surely because He came through for me.

@lala lala thank you for your kind words. Same God who came through for you will surely do same for me. I will come back here to testify of His faithfulness after my approval.

@O O this is exactly what I’ve been trying to observe.. it looks like they are mostly calling people who have not had any sort of interview at all during their application for interview now. I’m not too sure tho but I’m just observing.

@O O I was married twice from 1st marriage that happened in home country I do not have the marriage certificate but I have divorce decree to get marriage certificate I may need to go to my home country, for second marriage with abusive us citizen I have both marriage certificate and divorce decree

will they still ask for first marriage certificate

@c m if you’re about to submit your documents you must include all your previous marriage divorce certificates not your previous marriage certificate. Your current marriage certificate is what you will submit because that the current marriage .
