VAWA is still pending but schedule for an interview?
Hi VAWA family!
I have a letter from USCIS.
My VAWA is still pending but I have a letter for a confirmation of my postal code to arrange an interview schedule regarding my I485. Currently I have a combo card based on the pending I485.
I don't understand why USCIS asks my postal code and wants to schedule an interview while my VAWA is still pending.
Has anyone of you a similar experience?

Did your i485 location api change to your local field office on 07/16?
It seems many people reported that Location API for their I485 began showing their local field office along with forms timestamp updated on 07/16.
I’m trying to gauge if this was a system update or actual transfer for most people.
if you don’t know how to check location api, use instructions in the forum thread below:

Thank you community for your support!

Any VAWA approval from February, 2022?
Greetings everyone, I hope you are doing well.
I’m checking to see if anyone who filed a VAWA petition around February 2022 or any others, has received any updates or approval yet. Mine is still pending, and I’m getting a bit anxious with the long wait.
If you filed around the same time and have received a decision (approval, RFE, etc.), please share your timeline or any updates. It would be really helpful for those of us still waiting.
Thank you and best wishes to everyone going through this process!

EB1 I-485 Status: "Immigrant Visa Number Not Available" - Anyone Else in similar situation?
Quick Details:
- Category: EB1 I-485
- Priority Date: December 2019
- Country of Birth: India 🇮🇳
- Receipt Date: First week of October
- December 2024: EAD received
- April 2025: Advance Parole received
My case status updated as below today but am surprised with the status considering my PD is current and I've seen EB1 approvals with PD after mine.
"We are temporarily pausing work on your application because an immigrant visa number is not immediately available to you. Once an immigrant visa number becomes immediately available to you, we will resume processing of your application.
PLEASE NOTE: In the event that you have submitted a valid transfer of underlying basis request, then this Case Status Online message does not mean that USCIS has paused work on your application. Our systems do not currently have the capability to automatically update the receipt of a transfer of underlying basis request or Supplement J at this time.
The message will be updated in Case Status Online, however, after USCIS takes some other action on the adjustment of status application (for example, issuing a request for evidence, transferring the application between offices, or approving the application).
For more information, please see the Fiscal Year 2023 Employment-Based Adjustment of Status FAQs page."
Questions:
1. Anyone else seeing this status recently and in similar situation as mine?
2. Is this a system glitch or should I be worried?
3. What's the typical resolution timeline?
Looking for similar experiences and advice on next steps!

3rd RFE
Hi guys,
So I’m about to send another folder with what they are requesting that I’ve already submitted previously.
But I don’t want to go through my lawyer because last time I did, they didn’t even send everything telling me it was not necessary.
Ok, but I want to put all the chances on my send, I rather send everything I can even if it’s not necessary than not sending enough.
Can people who filed themselves tell me how to send those documents?
Where?
And except the document what should I put in the folder?

Greetings, blessings to all, I hope you are well and that your process goes hand in hand with God. I wanted to ask if any of you have had your i485 date updated. I mean, for me, since last year it told me that it is actively reviewing and today it tells me the same message but with an updated date. Could you tell me if it means that it is close to approval or what it would be, and if it is close to approval, how many days or months did it take for it to be approved? Thank you very much in advance.
saludos bendiciones a todos espero que se encuentren bien y que su proceso vaya de la mano de Dios🙏🏽queria preguntarle si a alguien de ustedes se le ah actualizado la fecha del i485 osea a mi desde el año pasado me decia revisando activamente y hoy me dice el mismo mensaje pero con fecha actulizada podrian decirme si significa que esta proximo a aprobar o que seria y si es proximo a aprobacion cuantos dias o meses les tardo para que lo aprobaran muchas gracias de ante mano

I'm a green card holder 💚
My journey started in 2021 when I came to the U.S. as an international student. In 2023, I found a YouTube video by Oscar that explained how to get a green card through the EB2-NIW process. That video gave me hope.
In July 2023, I applied for the green card with the help of a lawyer I found on Fiverr. It only cost me $800.
Soon after, the visa bulletin dates started moving backward (retrogression), which made things stressful and uncertain. I waited many months, checking the visa bulletin every month and hoping for good news.
Finally, in October 2024, my priority date — July 7, 2023 — became current for DOF . Then, exactly two years later, on July 7, 2025, my green card was approved.
It was a long journey, but we never gave up.

📣 URGENT — Second RFE from USCIS 📨
Hey everyone, I really need help or insight from anyone who’s been through this.
I received a second Request for Evidence (RFE) from USCIS regarding my petition.
The first RFE (in February) asked for proof of:
• A good faith marriage
• Battery or extreme cruelty
• Shared residence
I sent everything I had, including a 5-page personal statement explaining why I didn’t have joint documents or shared accounts. I also provided all photos, messages, and supporting documents I could gather.
But now, they’ve sent another RFE asking for the exact same three things again.
💔 I’m confused and anxious.
I don’t know what more they want from me, and I’ve truly done my best.
Is this normal? Has anyone been through this?
Does anyone know what else I can submit to satisfy these 3 areas?
Any advice, experience, or encouragement would mean a lot right now. Thank you so much. 🙏

Update on My Immigration Case 🇺🇸📄
Back in November, USCIS asked me to submit proof that my marriage was genuine. I responded in February with every piece of evidence I had—photos, documents, messages—and even included a detailed explanation for the few things I didn’t have.
Now, months later, I just received another Request For Additional Evidence (RFE) from them again.
I honestly don’t know what more they could be asking for at this point. It’s been an exhausting, uncertain journey. If anyone has been through this or knows what this second RFE could mean, please feel free to share your experience or insight. 🙏🏼
