VAWA, Part 24

[J2020 81]

anyone tried to submit an inquiry regardless of the processing time provided on the USCIS website?

 

it’s almost impossible to just keep waiting to inquire according to their processing time if the time just keeps going up and they keep delaying. Our lives and safety literally depend on this approval. The time processing started with only 16 to 20 months and now it’s up to 30 months which is just painful and depressing.

Oh wow mine too ! NY takes forever 

Have you ever received notice that your case was sent to your local office ? Or have you your attorney tried inquiries about case status ?

Hey the timeline is on the pic I posted. And the interview was very awkward lol 😆 they ask so much weird questions and personal stuff and if I had kids and how many. The lady didn't look happy either. Lol 😆 so I was nervous. But she then asked from questions 14 and up on the i485 application.

It is Wednesday, meaning it's time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke (guaranteed to evoke approvals and progress, if correlation = causation):

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

GOD, I HAVE A QUESTION...

 

God said, "Adam, I want you to do something for me."

 

"Gladly, Lord," replied Adam. "What do you want me to do?"

 

"Go down into the valley."

 

"What's a valley?" asked Adam.  God explained it to him, then said, "Cross the river."

 

"What's a river?"  God explained it to him, and then continued, "Go over the hill."

 

"What's a hill?"  God explained to Adam what a hill was, then said, "On the other side of the hill, you will find a cave."

 

"What's a cave?"  After God explained, He said, "In the cave you will find a woman."

 

Adam asked, "What's a woman?" So God explained that to him, too.  He continued, "I want you to be fruitful and multiply."

 

"How do I do that?"

 

"Jeez!" God muttered under His breath.  He then sighed and explained the "birds and the bees" to Adam.  Adam liked that concept very much, so he went down into the valley, across the river, over the hill, and into the cave, where he found a woman.

 

A little while later, Adam returned and said, "Lord... what's a headache?"

Good day everyone, how can I look up public record of Vawa application to see the bases of how Vawa cases are approved and denied? Thanks

You can read appeal decisions from the AAO office on USCIS.gov.  Just go to the 'A to Z' topics, and its right at the top under AAO.  You can search on non-precedent AAO decisions based on form/case type.

VAWA cases are not public record.

Hello, family

First of all, happy new year!! I’ve been a silent reader for years and this forum has been keeping me sane and hopeful, so thank you all for that 🤍

 

I got married to a US Citizen in 2017, I’ve submitted my I-485 in October 2017 but my marriage ended before our interview. I went to the interview and asked for my I-485 to be held in abeyance, which they did. 
 

I’ve applied for VAWA in March 2019 and my I-360 was finally approved in August 2021. This week they transferred my I-485 from NBC to Vermont for “faster processing” but from what I’ve been reading here, it’s usually the opposite. Does anyone know why they transferred it to Vermont? Is it still gonna be sent to a local office after that? (I’m in Brooklyn, NY)

 

How long do you guys think it’ll take for them to schedule my interview? I’ve been waiting since 2017 and can’t wait for this whole process to be over.

Hi to All. 

I'm just confused about this post. 

Till today we do not have any answer about this fact. 

I-485  being transferred from NBC to Vermont again after approval for faster processing. 

We all know its usually the opposite. From Vermont to NBC. then from NBC to local office for adjudication. 

Is it that uscis is now, because of to much backlog allowing Vermont to adjudicate some relating vawa I-485 application ?

@Demise @sandranj or other experimented on this forum, your insights please.

Did you go to the link?   The appeal decisions absolutely are public record.  .   Identities are kept to initials, but there is a lot one can discern about  the process used to evaluate cases, which is what the person I responded to was asking about.

Do Vawa files become a public record at some point of our lives?
