So I was supposed to get my gc last Friday but because USPS did not update the lawyer’s office’s new address, the delivery was all messed up! I am so pissed because I was told by USPS and local office that they don’t know where the package is 😤. Tracking number says it’ll be redelivered but they did not. I also found out that they didn’t update the suite number that’s why they couldn’t deliver it to my lawyer’s office! The guy was like, it’ll be delivered back to the sender! Incompetence at it’s finest😤😤😤. I am so frustrated. I thought I could get the card this week and start working. Does anybody had this kind of experience?

I once went through same thing with my EAD. USPS sent me notification that package could not be delivered. However, as soon i got this notification i called USPS and the agent was very nice. he opened the ticket for me to redeliver the package. Therefore, i received the EAD after 10 days.

 

It was very messy situation. I can totally understand your position.

Thank you for responding. I called USPS and local post office plus USCIS. Unfortunately, USPS won’t do anything. It doesn’t help that the mail is not under my name. This happened before too with my EAD. It doesn’t make sense that all my other mails to my lawyer’s office were delivered without any issues.

I called them right away too but I was told that they Will redeliver the ff day and I just had to wait. So I called again the ff day and I was told address was wrong so it’ll be redelivered to sender. I just hate how incompetent the system is

Divorced US citizen spouse in December 2017. 

Filed I-360 on Nov 12, 2019

Filed I485/ C31 EAD / AP in Feb 2020 (Stupid lawyer filed C31 instead of C9, and I didnt know EAD codes, didnt know about this VJ forum either)

On H1b status since 2014, H1b 6 years expired in May 2020. Out of status / Period of authorized stay since then. 

Amended EAD petition to C9 and filed expedite request for same in mid-may 2020. 

C9 EAD approved June 4, 2020. 

Biometrics done in Oct 2020. 

I485 case transferred to NBC for "faster processing" on September 30, 2020

Filed C9 EAD / AP Renewal petition in February 2021. 

Initial Advance Parole (from Feb 2020 application) approved in June 2021. 

C31 EAD production update - Nov 1st, 2021. 

C31 card delivered to attorney's office on Nov 8, 2021. 

I-360 case approved status update - Nov 22, 2021. 

No RFE throughout.  

Senator's office confirmed via congressional inquiry that the St. Louis office has received the I485 file and is currently awaiting interview scheduling - March 7, 2022

C9 EAD renewal card production case update - July 20, 2022 (took them just 17 months to process)

C9 EAD / AP renewal approval case update on both cases on July 21, 2022.

Combo card delivered to attorney's office on July 27, 2022

Medical exam RFE Drama: Second congressional inquiry sent in early July 2022 for I485. USCIS responded on 8/12/22 to this congressional inquiry that they issued an RFE on 5/24/22 and were waiting for my response. My lawyer denied receiving RFE and there was no such update on online USCIS portal. Lawyer's old firm was safe mailing address on my case. Lawyer changed firms a year after I hired her but did not change mailing address for my case with USCIS, she said she had a deal with her old firm to forward all her clients' mail to her new firm. Old firm denied receiving RFE. Sent another congressional inquiry requesting copy of RFE on 8/17/22. I also got medical exam done on 8/17/22 as I assumed RFE was for medical exam (thanks for this forum's insights.) Yelled at lawyer and threatened her with dire consequences. On 8/18/22 my lawyer's old firm finally found scanned copy of RFE in their "archived scans" (whatever the duck that is) and emailed it to me. It was indeed RFE requesting medical exam. On 8/20/22 I mailed medicals sealed packet with copy of RFE to St. Louis field office. Also sent a notarized letter with the packet - updating safe mailing address to my home address and informing St. Louis field office that I fired my lawyer. Sent similar letter to Vermont Service Center on the same date. 

8/23/22 - Fedex confirmed delivery of medicals packet to St. Louis Field Office. 

8/26/22: Case update on I485: New Card Is Being Produced

8/29/22:  On August 29, 2022, we approved your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

9/3/22 green card delivered to attorney's office (they didn't change safe mailing address despite my written requests to FO AND VSC.) 

9/6/22 VSC returned AR11 and my letter requesting safe mailing address change. In their letter they said something to the effect of "you can do this online, we wont do it via snail mail request etc." Just posting as an FYI, its weird. Also received I485 approval notice on the same date.

Good day everyone, I’ve just submitted my vawa application and would like to get some more information. 
1. What do I do if my spouse withdraw form I-864  before the approval of my case.

 

2. My I-485 was placed in abeyance but now that I sent a letter for my I-485 to be reopened along side my Vawa application can I expect to get my EAD from my C09 application?

If you don't feel comfortable talking about the abuse you can say to the officer "I am not comfortable talking about  the abuse that  I endured", if he/she insists then say  that Vermont adjudicated  you I-360 and you won't discuss about the abuse.

Thank you Sandra! I need to gain that confidence to be able to say it :) be preparing for the interview

But I am scared it would cause more problems; Personally, would you recommend to bring a lawyer to the interview, or is it unnecessary?

Just got a case status update of card production on my i360 case. I presume it's a C31 EAD, but won't celebrate yet as USCIS is known to make mistakes on the online system. As the British say, there is many a slip between the cup and the lip. I360 receipt date Nov 12, 2019.

Wow!! Congratulations..! That’s a great news. I’m sure things will be great for you!😊.!! God is Great..! Have Fun. Enjoy your day.!🥁
