Case Processing
My VAWA was denied due to not appearing to the biometrics twice because of USCIS error either me or my lawyer was not notified. Motion and I485 is pending any recommendation will be appreciative.
My Form I-360 (VAWA) was denied because USCIS stated that I failed to appear for two biometrics appointments. However, neither my attorney nor I received notice of one of those appointments due to what we believe was a USCIS error. I did attend a later biometrics appointment when I received notice. My attorney has filed a Form I-290B Motion to Reconsider/Reopen, which is currently pending. Meanwhile, my Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) still shows as pending. Given these circumstances, what would you recommend as the best course of action while the motion is pending?
I’m also married to a different person now because my layers said after they put Motion i290B I can marry and apply thru marriage but I feel like my case is very complicated I need experts who can assist me Please🙏
Approval, God has been good to me.
My journey has finally ended, thanks be to God. This was a journey of patience and faith. May God send speedy approvals to all who are waiting. God Bless!

Today my case was updated again after several months; the last update was in December after a 3-year process. Today's update was due to the issue of my son's fingerprints, but it's a good sign; it means they're reviewing my case. Adjustment of status based on asylum approved within a year. 3 years of the I-485 process, still waiting.

EAD approved after a long wait. Now I’ll be waiting a few more years for my VAWA approval.
My EAD is finally approved! I’m grateful for this small victory. The VAWA process is still a long journey, and I know I may have a few more years to wait. Staying hopeful and wishing everyone good news soon.

Finally received my Green Card today!
I wanted to share my complete timeline because this community was incredibly helpful throughout my journey.
My timeline:
Priority Date: 04/21/2023
I-140 Approved: May 2025
I-485/I-485J Filed: 11/24/2025
Biometrics: 12/23/2025
Transferred to Seattle Field Office: 01/22/2026 (confirmed by Emma)
Case activity:
05/17: First silent update.
05/29: Second silent update + 3rd FTA0 + I-485J silent update.
06/06: 1st FTA1 + Active Review.
06/26: 2nd FTA1 + Active Review.
06/29: I-485J Approved + I-485 silent update.
06/30: I-485 Approved.
07/09: Card Was Produced.
07/14: 💚 Green Card received in hand!
One thing I learned is that silent updates don’t necessarily mean something is wrong. My case had multiple silent updates, FTA0s, FTA1s, and internal movements before approval. Looking back, they were signs that my case was actively being worked on, even though it didn’t feel that way at the time.
To everyone who is still waiting , please don’t lose hope. I know how frustrating it is to watch newer cases get approved first, and I remember thinking my case had been forgotten. But eventually, everything moved very quickly.
Thank you to everyone in this community for answering questions, sharing timelines, and keeping each other encouraged. This community helped me get through one of the most stressful periods of my immigration journey.
Don’t lose faith. Your approval will come. Wishing everyone the very best! 🍀🇺🇸❤️
