Hi everyone,

I'm so thankful that I found this forum.. It assures me that I am not the only one going through this painful journey. I got married to My USC abusive husband in March of 2007. We filed I-485/I-130/I131/1765 all in May of 2007. I have not recieved anything since then. My EAD and AP were approved 7 months later due to a "Background check". He started drinking and cheating on me with a stripper "of all people". I was a virgin when I married him. He gave me HPV, which eventually evolved into cervical cancer because of his unfaithful ways. I was brought up into a culture where the man does as he pleases, and us women have to shut up and take the consequenses because no one wants to marry a non virgin who has been "used". I had 3 major operations at 2 different state of the art facilities. He continued accusing me of the adultry stating that I was the dirty ####### that got this disease... I can go on and on about the physical and mental abuse this man has put me through. I continued to be patient because I had in mind that one day this man will change, and that I cannot go back to my country and shame my parents by being a divorcee and having an STD.. No man would ever want to tocuh me again. To top that I had an awful lawyer that wanted nothing but money. I was naive and totally trusted every word he said. I did not do my own research until life with my husband became unbearable. We seperated and I was in desperate need of help. I went to another lawyer just to get another opinion and he beleives that I have a strong case of VAWA. It has been over 3 years that I have not recieved any response from USCIS regarding my case. I had 2 interviews with them already. One back in August 2007 that I attended with him, while the other one in February 2010 that I attended without him. I took my lawyer and we explained the situation to the immigration officer. He was extremely intimidating and rude and my lawyer told him several times to stop interoggating me and using accusing tones with me.

I had been through so much already "Cancer is not an Easy thing to survive" I filed my I-360 with this new lawyer in April of 2010. I just got my EAD and AP a few days ago.. and Am counting the days for adjucation of my I-360. My heart goes out to all of you. I wish everyone happy approvals. USCIS takes its sweet time while we are all suffering with different scenarios and stories.. Mya God be with all of you throught your journies...

Thanks

Tuna

Yes thank you Jesus! my I-360 was approved and my I-485 was sent to NBC this morning for Standard Interview. It was updated from Initial Review to Testing and Interviewing... Is this normal? Finally am Free..I am so happy, excited and full of Joy!!!!!!!! Thank you all for your love and support in this Forum...I really appreciate you all....! So what is the meaning of my I-485 status is this normal for everybody...I mean from Initial Review to Testing and Interviewing without Appointment for Biometrics! Am confused and surprised!

Congratulations gal! I know that feeling. I got my text while in a Library, and i had to let out that Hooray!

Yes it is normal. Mine went from Initial review to Document Production/Oath, then swang back to approved notice.

Fact is your case has been approved, anything else you see online might keep shifting or not. Matter of fact, my card production was ordered twice, I got 4 texts of approval all on different dates.

But the hard copy mail was the original true one.

Good luck. Lets start living now.
