Please i need Help, I'm in a dying Situation now.
@bridges 5 @kiki K Or Anybody please i need help. I filed for my marriage based application after 2yrs+ of toxic marriage and violence and abuse from my spouse. Then USCIS sent a RFE requesting for my spouse current year tax return. But she boldly declined just to punish me, so few days to the RFE deadline, I got a new lawyer to start my vawa case/application. I submited all the evidence of abuse, police report clearance, doctors report and many more documents. So we fill out the i360 application and he mailed it in response to the RFE to the address stated below the RFE letter which is NBC with a cover letter requesting that the marriage based application should be converted to VAWA without asking them to hold my i485 which i now realised that was a BIG mistake. After NBC recieved the packet on the 11th of August, my i485 was updated to Request recieved and i didn't hear anything again until 5days ago i got an update that my i485 has been Denied but my I-130 is still pending. And as we speak now, i have not recieved notification receipt for my I-360 and i don't know where the application is or the status of it. Please i need help, I now see it clearly that the lawyer i hired don't know anything at all about handling VAWA. What i should i do next? Should i go to a non profit organisation to get a new lawyer? I have spent all my savings from the family based lawyer to these Vawa lawyer. I am completely empty. And i haven't work Or had any work permit since i have been in this country. I need advice Please. I'm so heart broken and can't sleep anymore.

Help! Help!
Has anyone received a similar USCIS notice recently? Hi everyone, I’m trying to understand a new update I received on my I-485 today and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has received the same notice. My current case status has been “Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken.” My most recent update before today was: “As of July 15, 2026, fingerprints relating to your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number SRC1xxxxxxxx, have been applied to your case.” Today, September 26, 2026, I received an email from USCIS saying: “There has been a recent processing action taken on your case.” The email then says: “On September 26, 2026, we issued a notice for your Form I-485… Please follow the instructions in the notice.” It also says that if I don’t receive the notice by October 26, 2026, I should submit an e-Request. However, there is currently no new document in my USCIS online account. Has anyone received this exact notice recently, especially around September 24–26, 2026? If you received it, what did the actual mailed notice turn out to be? Maybe people whose case status was already showing that fingerprints had been applied/reused. Thank you! 🙏🏽

i360-VAWA Priority-Date Retention + Ever-Increasing Processing Times — Class Action?
I’m curious whether other VAWA applicants are seeing the same 2 issues: 1. Retention of an earlier I-130 priority date Many VAWA applicants had an I-130 filed before the I-360 and may qualify to retain that earlier priority date. USCIS previously appeared to recognize earlier priority dates during processing, but I was recently told that the retained priority date would only be addressed once the I-360 is assigned to an adjudicator. With VAWA processing now taking several years, that could mean waiting until near the end of the process before the earlier priority date is even recognized. In my view, that risks destroying much of the protective value of the earlier date and potentially defeats the purpose behind allowing VAWA applicants to retain it in the first place. 2. USCIS keeps moving the processing-time goalpost People filed when VAWA processing times were much shorter. Applicants wait until they approach that timeline, only for USCIS to increase it again. You file thinking it may take 24–30 months. By the time you get there, the processing time is 40+ months. Then 50+ months. If the benchmark keeps increasing faster than applicants can reach it, you are essentially chasing a moving train. Service requests and congressional inquiries also seem to be providing less meaningful relief. In some cases, applicants wait months just to receive a response, only to be told the case is still within the newly increased processing time. At some point, I think this may need to be addressed collectively rather than through thousands of separate mandamus lawsuits. I’m already reaching out to certain immigration advocacy organizations and federal-litigation attorneys to see whether this may be worth evaluating as a class action or broader APA challenge. There are examples where coordinated immigration litigation led DHS/USCIS to change how an entire group of applications was handled. One example is the H-4/L-2 EAD litigation and settlement, where litigation resulted in broader relief for affected spouses rather than requiring everyone to sue separately. I’m wondering whether VAWA applicants may eventually need something similar: one case challenging common USCIS practices rather than thousands of applicants individually paying for mandamus lawsuits. If enough people are dealing with the same issues, especially: VAWA I-360 cases pending 24+ months Applicants with an earlier I-130 priority date Applicants being told the earlier priority date will not be applied until adjudication Applicants whose expected processing time keeps increasing while they wait Then it may be worth organizing and presenting the issue collectively to experienced class-action counsel. I’d especially appreciate comments from immigration attorneys, VAWA practitioners, advocacy organizations, federal litigators, or anyone who has experience with mandamus or immigration class actions. Has anyone else been told that their earlier I-130 priority date will not be retained until the I-360 is assigned to an adjudicator? #i360 #VAWA #processingtime #USCISWANTSTOKILLUS
