I am still waiting for my I485/Interview Notice to arrive.

It usually goes silent until USCIS makes a decision.

Hope so it has been a long and stressful journey  and still is until i hope my VAWA petition gets approved hopefully 

Vawa takes an average of 14-18 months to get approve sometimes 24-36 months the longest I have read.

Usually from start to finish with GC is around 2 years but it can take a bit longer too but majority I read is 24 months.

Does anybody knows an average timeline for National Benefit Center to transfer your case to Local Office (Chicago) I got Courtesy Letter on March 13th 2019, patiently waiting 🙌🏼🇺🇸💫

Hey,

 

Whew long journey...

 

I filed VAWA October 2017

(I am on my 3rd EAD)

No RFE, I went straight from VAWA received to new card being produced April 2, 2019.

 

This new EAD card comes just intime as my current expires soon plus I was here stressing about financial aid.

Guys, the journey was long but try to occupy your time with progressing. There were times when I had breakdowns and had to be placed on medication and sadly there are some aspects of my trauma that are still with me but thankfully for the most part I am doing well. School has REALLY helped me to look forward to the future. 

 

I now have to figure out my divorce, I didn't do ot earlier because I did not have the funds as well I was not in a mental state to deal with my ex. Thing is, now he is MIA...no one knows where he is, family no one. Any suggestions about getting a divorce when you're unable to find your spouse? I've googled... so I'm more looking for passed experiences with a similar issue and timelines. How long does the divorce process take? 

 

Also traveling, I feel a bit more confident now with the i360 to travel to see my family...aaand I'm broke 😅...it's always something. But good luck to all.

Hope you get your divorce sorted out soon!

Totally get it! 

Whatever state he lives in find him thru the court system, if you file the divorce they will serve him. 

Congratulations on your I360 approval 🇺🇸💫👏🏼

How did you get third 180 days prima facie if you filed your VAWA in Dec 2018 ? I filed in October 2018. I got a year prima facie. 

Well my bad. I meant I filed VAWA Dec 18, 2017. So far I've received 3 180 days prima facie . The third one expires August 2019.

 

My lawyer had initially filed my EAD using category c31 so we refiled October 2018 using category c09 and I received my card on April 1, 2019.

I think they were asking about signature and not fingerprints 

OK. There is no signature on it. My 2017 and 2018 EADs have my signature though

I often check the USCIS case processing time online for VAWA. I checked yesterday that the Receipt date for a case inquiry was 2017 June 18  but today I noticed it’s 2017 June 9th. Can anybody explain this ? 

I just checked today and noticed that they pushed all the dates back but still showing in months how long it should take.. Its not adding up to me.. I haven't gotten my first work permit yet i filed back in November.. I went online to check the processing time to do a case inquiry because i checked everyday patiently waiting.. Then boom the case processing time went from november to October.. Felt like a slap in the face.. I still tried a case inquiry and it said my case is still within processing time so they won't do one for me.. Man this is getting very depressing.. I mean all i want is to work.. Anyone know why they're doing this..i know on the website it said they can change the data at anytime without reason but i just thing given the circumstances of vawa cases it should be handled a bit more delicately.

How can I get a congressman to inquire about an RFE the "Post Office couldn't deliver" ? 

 

After sending them 3 letter asking to send again, they haven't. It's been almost 3 months and I know RFE's are time sensitive.

You have to get in contact with you congressman depending on your state and county, and he will ask for a release for from you and he will be able to inquire on your behalf and can ask them to send you a copy of your RFE.

This always works. Try this and then we fo from there. But this should do it. My RFE was sent to my lawyer and my senator.😊
