Good day I would like some advise. I am about to start my VAWA process but I don’t have much proof to show my husband is a USC apart from our marriage certificate and the application for the marriage certificate. I researched online and saw where I could request a copy of his birth certificate by mailing in the application but it has to be notarized. When I went to have it notarized the notary informed me he cannot notarized the application unless my abusive husband was there even when I tried to explain the situation he just didn’t care to listen. Any advise as to how I could go forward? 

Have you tried ordering through Vital Check . If you are spouse you have a right to order his birth certificate.

Hi, thanks for responding but it has the link here in my USCIS account. Do you think I should do this first? 

You actually received the card.  That is different than when USPS sends your card back for non-delivery.  USCIS will destroy Permanent Resident Cards, Employment Authorization Cards and Travel Documents returned as undeliverable by the U.S. Postal Service after 60 business days if USCIS is not contacted by the document's intended recipient to provide the correct address.

 

I-90 has a section that allows you to submit when USPS returns your GC

@Shroy123 Thank you very much for checking on me. Just logged in after a long time. My case is still pending. Funny huh?! Case approved on Sep 30 2019. Sent 2nd inquiry for congressman a few days ago. I don't know what to do at this point. God knows. . .

You will get an approval soon !! ❤️❤️

I did not received the card. It was delivered to my lawyer’s office since all of my mails were delivered there. In the tracking number that I have received, it says not delivered because there was an issue with the suite number being wrong. I called USPS and they told me it will be sent back to USCIS. I kept calling USPS local office and they won’t give me any details as to where my package is. I’ve asked for my lawyer to claim it instead at the post office since it was his name and office address but pretty much useless didn’t bother to wait bec he said the line was long and stopped responding to me. I am so desperate and depress. I thought this would be the end of it! He requested to USCIS a change of address ( he said he does know why it wasn’t changed before). Would it confuse USCIS if I’ll do the e-request and place my own address instead? With I-90, do I need to wait until USCIS receives the gc back before I have to request another card? That’s what I’ve been told when I called USCIS. Everything is so messed up!

Since it was determined as nondeliverable by USPS, it is important to contact them before the 60 days.  After the 60 days, they will destroy the card, then you have to pay for the replacement card, and do another biometrics.  When you complete the I-90, you can put whatever address on it.

Thank you, do I have to do both I-90 and e request?

You can try the e-request, if you want, but you already know that the GC was returned.  I would not waste any time on filing an e-request.  I am just letting you be aware of the 60 day deadline when mail is returned.

As a general reminder to all, a law-abiding notary will refuse to notarize a document unless all of the parties executing (signing) the document are present in person and have valid identification.

 

Glad that you found another route for requesting the document.

=======================================================

AN OUNCE OF BRAIN

 

A man was lying in the hospital, waiting to be the first person in history to receive a brain transplant.

 

A doctor came in and said, "Congratulations!  But unfortunately, because this is a new procedure, your insurance isn't going to cover it all.  Therefore, we're going to give you 3 choices of brains, and you can decide which you can afford."

 

"OK -- what are they?" the man asked the doctor.

 

The doctor said, "Well, first, there's engineer brain, which is $100 an ounce.  Then, there's astrophysicist brain; that will cost you $200 an ounce.  Finally, there's politician brain.  That's the most expensive, at $1,000 an ounce."

 

The man looked at the doctor, surprised, and said, "That's absurd!  Why is the politician brain so expensive?"

 

The doctor looked seriously at him and said, "Sir, do you have any idea how MANY politicians it takes to get an ounce of brain?"

Yes, my c9 renewal is pending since March 2021. Initial c9 expired in June 2021, 180 day extension expires in early December. I send expedite request for renewal a week ago. Even though EAD adjudication is simple and takes very little time, processing times stretch up to to 13 months. If you can qualify for expedite request, go for it.

Hi,
I have a quick question. My vawa was approved back in April 2021. My fingerprints for i-485 have been done on October 4. 2021. How long would it take to get the call of the interview ? My EAD is expiring in April. So, I am little worried.
