Travel After Green Card Approved But Card Not Arrived
Hi everyone, my GC application was approved on Saturday (after over 2 years of waiting), which was very good news. The timing of it was interesting, and I was hoping for any inputs on the situation. I have travels planned outside of the country leaving the US in just over 1 week. The issue with my approval last weekend is that I am not sure the card will arrive on time for my travels. I understand I could have someone mail the card, but seems risky from a timing standpoint because I have to be back before the new years for work. My understanding is that as soon as my GC application is approved, my other documents (EAD/AP) which ate still valid can no longer be used. Anyone with experience on this?

I filed my medical initially with the package of docs concurrently. Any thoughts how long more for my I-485 to get to decision?

VAWA based GREEN CARD APPROVED, NO INTERVIEW
Here's a quick summary of my journey.
Jan 2020 - reached out to an attorney. He suggested applying for VAWA.
For the next 3 years, I'd get a lot of EAD every year, sometimes with gaps which resulted in the employer laying me off due to no work authorization.
I wasn't able to travel either until I finally received my travel permit I-131 in April 2022 which was valid for one year until April 2023.
Mar 2023 - VAWA petition approved.
Aug 2023 - I-485 RFE - medical exam
Nov 2023 - Today I received an email from my lawyer with a photocopy of my green card. I checked MyUSCIS and it confirms that my I-485 was approved last week.
This was my journey of about 4 years from the beginning of applying for VAWA until my green card was approved.
There's another 5 years before that where I had to deal with USCIS, spouse, divorce, etc. that part was all done without a lawyer and I wish I had picked one sooner. After 9 years my struggle finally ends and I am a free person who can travel and see the world.
It seems like my green card was approved without needing to do an interview.
Good luck everyone, I'm out #vawa #ead #greencard
Use of Advance Parole
Hello All,
I received my combo card while my GC is pending on July of this year and in August I received my advance parole from the TPS (I am Venezuelan). Which one should I use to re-enter the United States once I come back from my trip?
Can I show the CBP officer the two permits? or should I choose just one? Can I use one if the other one doesn't work anymore? #greencard #TPS #advanceparole #I485

anyone getting anywhere from May 2023
my husband and I submitted for my green card back in May 2023, we sent everything in at the same time. Within two weeks we received the notice that they had a receipt number, then in July I submitted the fingerprints and medical. The site was showing a timeline and now “Your case is taking longer than expected to process. You will be notified if you need to take any action.” Anyone have a similar situation? #greencard #spouse

I-485 (RFE for income taxes). Does someone knows how long will take to get a response from USCIS when they requested RFE for income taxes? I got RFE for income taxes almost 7 months ago.
I don’t know how long will take to get a response. I didn’t hear anything after that. I’m still waiting and praying to get a response as soon as posible. #GreenCard #Adjustmentofstatus
Ha sido un constante stress la espera. Alguien como residente que haya pedido a su esposo/a? y cuánto tiempo le ha tomado?
