#VAWA #RFE (February, 2022).
Greetings everyone, in the month of March I have submitted an expidate request for my C09 EAD via my local congressman's office, and later I have received a phone call from USCIS for uploading the documents. Few days later, they said my expidate request was approved. Later I was scheduled for a biometrics to the old state which was I living in. Again I have reached out to my congressman's office, they havr submitting a request with USCIS and I was rescheduled for biometrics in my current location.
May 01, 2026, went it for the appointment, and they took the picture. Maybe for C09 EAD.
Simultaneously, I received an update on I360 RFE was sent, and I485 was moved to VT service center.
1. My RFE packet was sent by Attorney. How long will take them to update the status, and make a decision on my case?
2. My Biometrics appointment has been completed, how much will it take for them to process my EAD C09?
I strongly recommend you guys to gather or organize your evidence as much as possible even before the RFE strikes, just in case. it will be overwhelming to respond within the deadline, and going through everything again.
Here is the RFE:

Adjustment of Status i485 - File online
I would like to ask for your opinions regarding filing the Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) online.
In your experience, is it a good idea to submit the I-485 electronically, or is it still safer and more reliable to file by mail (paper filing)?
Any pros or cons regarding delays, RFEs, or technical issues?
Would appreciate your experience. Thank you!

My country is on the ban list, which includes 75 countries.
My country is on the ban list, which includes 75 countries. My adjustment of status is currently in progress through asylum. Can this ban affect my adjustment of status? I entered the U.S. on a tourist visa, and my asylum case has been approved by USCIS.

If your Vawa is approved but still waiting for i485 approval and your case is located in Boston, please comment below:
VAWA was approved in November 2024. Medicals were received in February 2025. The case was transferred to the Boston office, and after 10 months, I am still waiting for a decision. From what I've heard, it seems like the Boston office is taking the longest. Please comment below if your case is located in Boston and you are still waiting for a decision.
