help/advice
I am concerned and would appreciate your guidance regarding my VAWA-based green card case.
My VAWA petition was approved in September 2024, and I had my green card interview in May 2025. Since the interview, I have not received any meaningful update from USCIS.
My Congresswoman’s office has submitted three inquiries, but USCIS has provided the same response each time, stating that my case is still undergoing background checks. My attorney also submitted an inquiry, but we have not received a response.
I have personally contacted USCIS multiple times. I also requested a Tier 2 officer callback. I was told that an officer would call me, but I never received the call.
I recently asked my attorney whether I could file a writ of mandamus because of the length of the delay, but she advised that, at this time, we should not file one.
I am becoming increasingly concerned about the delay and would like to understand what options I have at this point. What would you recommend I do next?
Prima Facie Expired July 1
Hi everyone,
I’m looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience.
I filed my VAWA (I-360 & 485) in December 2021, and I still haven’t received any update on my case.
My Prima Facie Determination expired on July 1, 2026. In the past, USCIS always sent me a new Prima Facie 1–2 weeks before the current one expired. However, this time I haven’t received anything.
I checked with my attorney, and they confirmed that they have not received a new Prima Facie notice either.
My attorney and my congresswoman’s office both submitted inquiries to USCIS over 2–3 months ago, but there has been no response. Every time I call Attorney and Congresswoman , they just tell me to keep waiting, and I haven’t been able to get any meaningful information.
Has anyone with a similar December 2021 receipt date experienced a delay in receiving their renewed Prima Facie? If so:
* Did you eventually receive it?
* How long did it take after your previous Prima Facie expired?
* Did you have to take any additional steps?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thank you in advance.

Guys, I need a good and affordable immigration attorney. Any recommendations?
I’m planning to withdraw my VAWA case and get married, then file a new marriage-based green card application. Does anyone have a good and affordable immigration attorney they recommend in Florida, preferably someone experienced with transitioning from VAWA to marriage-based adjustment of status?
we filed our h1 h4 and h4 EAD premiumbundle receipt dates are June 30 2026.H1 got approved on July 29 . H4 EAD (I-765) biometrics completed on July 17th. No update on both h4 and EAD yet Texas center.
Is there anyone in the same boat? how long does it take after the biometrics for the cases to be adjudicated?
USCIS error
I filed for my wife's I-130 back in July 2025. For the first few months, my portal showed a "my progress" tab. It disappeared in November. I'd sent them an e-mail stated that it's gone and hasn't been on my portal in months (I figured it was just an error). The said it was fixed. it wasn't. It's still gone.
Has anyone had this problem?
I would just like to know so I can start preparing for the next step with the most accurate information.
thank you.

God Did It for Me, and He Will Do It for You 🙏🏽❤️
After such a long and difficult journey, I can finally say: God did it! 🙏🏽😭
There were so many days when I felt tired, discouraged, and wondered when my breakthrough would come. I waited, I prayed, I cried, and there were moments when I honestly didn't know how much longer I could hold on. But God never left me.
My journey wasn't easy. There were delays, interviews, uncertainty, and so many moments when I had to choose faith over fear. But God was working even when I couldn't see it.
Today, I am here to encourage everyone on Lawfully who is still waiting: PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP. ❤️
Your case may look stuck. You may feel like you've been forgotten. You may be checking your case every day wondering, "When will it be my turn?" But remember, God's timing is not our timing.
I received my breakthrough, and I know that if God did it for me, He can do it for you too. 🙏🏽
Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep trusting. Your story is not over yet.
What God has promised, He is able to fulfill.
I pray that everyone reading this receives their own good news soon. May God open the doors you've been praying for, give you strength while you wait, and turn your tears into tears of joy. 🙏🏽❤️
God did it for me. He will do it for you. Don't lose faith. Your breakthrough is coming! ✨🇺🇸

I-485 interview Asylum derivative based
Has anyone had I-485 status (as an asylum derivative applicant) change to "interview was rescheduled"—even though it was actually the first scheduled interview? How long does it usually take to receive the interview notice letter in this situation?
I am really worried that I will just be kept waiting, since the previous status was "case is ready to be interviewed." #Asylum #i485 #interview
Nebraska Service Center - anyone here still waiting for RFE?
Anyone here whose priority date is current and is still waiting for RFE? My PD is April 2022, I’ve been current since 5 months and I didn’t get a RFE yet. Tried service requests and congressional inquiry, but didn’t get any progress on my case. Anyone in the same boat?
