where to file I-765 for VAWA applicant.
I have filed my VAWA about 1.5years ago. I’ve filed I-765along with VAWA, but I chose (c)(31). So I just refiled I-765 with (c)(9) category to the Vermont Service center, since my prima facie determination mail told me to.
the mail says,
“You will be notified separately about any other applications or petitions you filed. Save this notice.
Please enclose a copy of it if you write to us about this case, or if you file another application based on this decision.
Our address is:
USCIS Vermont Service”
However, they sent me back with saying “please resubmit to the correct filing location.”
I put the copy of prima facie notice, but I did not put it on the top of all the documents, is this a reason that they did not notice? or Should’ve I filed to the filing location that USCIS listed on their website? which is Arizona since I live in Tennessee?
please help me out so I can finally work here🥹

you cannot file a C31 work permit that category is only for approved Vawa, you need to file C09 if you have a pending i-485 if not they will deny it.
the correct mailing address can be found on the USCIS website, Vawa is being processed at the Nebraska Service Center now and that might be the place to file your i-765. you need to include a copy of the I-797c for your i-485 and not the prima facie. also include a cover letter indicating you concurrently filed your i-360 and i-485, and you are renewing your i-765 based on a pending i-485. Hope this helps if not google “how to file/renew i-765” and follow the YouTube videos or if you have a copy of the old i-765 you are trying to renew use that one and answer as you did then sign and date @rui morito
