Hi, i just receieved my 5th PF renewal that is valid till July 2025 I applied on 12/27/2021 and on 09/11/2024 i received a “correspondence was received and USCIS is reviewing it” update on my case. Nothing else before and nothing else since I’ve seen people say that PF renewal is automated but I want to know if anyone actually had their case approved while their PF was a long way from expiration!

Using the Advance Parole first time experience and status updated. (Vawa)

I used my Advance Parole was at JFK airport, after being out of status for 7 years in the U.S. I have had a pending VAWA case since October 7, 2021. Upon arrival, I was sent to secondary inspection, I wait for a while, they call my name, but there were no questions asked, and it was very quick, I was out 20 day. Interestingly, a day before, the status of both my Green Card and VAWA was updated “correspondence was received and uscis is reviewing it”, but I didn’t send anything. Does anyone know what this could be?"
