Hello VJ family,

happy new year!!

Am a little concered, as you can see from my timeline, i have been waiting for an interview date for over a year now. it ha been 3 years since i filed my VAWA, and only recently i stumbled across this article, as i always try to be up to date with current immigration news. Any thoughts on this? i also heard from some fellow friends that VAWA has been closed, since it has expired and if so, what happens to our petitions? any info would be greatly appreciated.

11/15/2012: VSC received.
11/19/2012: Receipt notice for I-360, I-485, and I-765. (All fees waived).

11/30/2012: EAD card arrived. Went back to my job smile.png
12/14/2012: Biometrics taken. Easy process.
12/15/2012: RFE for good moral character. (Initially sent city police clearance.)
12/16/2012: Replied RFE for good moral character with state-wide police clearance.
