Case Processing
USCIS case status suddenly changed to show that USCIS received correspondence and is reviewing it
Hi everyone. My VAWA case has been pending since April 2023. Yesterday, August 10, my USCIS case status suddenly changed to show that USCIS received correspondence and is reviewing it. I haven’t submitted or sent anything recently. Has anyone experienced something similar, and did you have a positive outcome afterward?
inquiry for time processing for AOS I-485
Hello,
I got a response from USCIS today for the inquiry I submitted a month ago and they said if I don’t receive a decision in 90 days to submit another inquiry.
my case is at Columbus field office and my PD 4/28/2023 , had my interview 2 years ago.
anyone knows how long will it take them to work on my case after they responded to the inquiry? or has the same experience?
F2A, total 1100 days crossed
F2A – PD August 2023, I-130 approved January 2024, medical renewed February 2026, and I-485 interview completed in April 2026. It has now been 110 days since my interview, and I still haven’t received any decision. I sent several inquiries last year and earlier this year, but USCIS keeps saying that my case is still within the processing time because they have changed the processing times several times.
I also contacted my congressman’s office, but they said they can only submit an inquiry if the case is outside the current processing time or after 160 days from the interview. However, at my interview, the officer gave me a letter stating that I could make an inquiry after 120 days. Now, when I contact the USCIS Contact Center, they say I can only submit an inquiry once my case is outside the posted processing time. Any suggestion ?

GOOD NEWS
GOOD NEWS FOR IMMIGRANT SURVIVORS: A federal judge has temporarily stopped ICE from routinely arresting, detaining, and deporting certain immigrants with pending VAWA self-petitions, U visa petitions, and T visa petitions.
In Immigration Center for Women and Children v. Noem, the court blocked ICE's January 2025 enforcement policy and restored important victim-centered protections nationwide. The ruling protects three principal groups: 1.
People with pending VAWA, U visa, or T visa cases whom ICE detains or seeks to detain. 2. People with pending U or T cases who received deferred action. ICE cannot simply disregard that protection or treat it as revoked without notice and an opportunity to respond. 3. Detained people with pending U or T petitions and final removal orders who request a stay before removal. ICE should not deport them before USCIS makes a preliminary eligibility determination.
Deferred action does not necessarily mean that the U or T visa was finally approved. It is temporary protection from deportation while the case remains pending. A bona fide determination means the case passed an initial USCIS review. A U visa waiting-list determination means USCIS found the petition approvable, but no visa is currently available because of the annual cap. Final approval is when USCIS actually grants U or T nonimmigrant status.
Approved VAWA beneficiaries also have important protections under ICE's victim-centered directive.
However, an approved VAWA I-360 is not yet a green card and does not automatically erase a removal order. Lawful permanent residence is obtained when the I-485 is approved. If you have been detained, have an upcoming ICE check-in, or have a final removal order, speak with an experienced immigration attorney immediately.

Has anyone flown domestically recently?
I wanted to see if anyone has recently flown in the last couple of days/weeks. i’m aware of iCE Detaining people with pending status. I’m also well aware that having an EAD/ REAL ID or a pending case is not lawful presence. From the cases and arrest that I’ve seen have all been pending asylum or TPS Have not seen any specific VAWA applicants. just wanted to see if anyone can chime in.
