I will just add my two cents. Mandamus suit will force a final action, you will get an approval or a denial.

 

Just make sure that the I-485 is in a position where it can be approved. All the documents are there. Your medical is in there. Etc. They won't RFE you if you sue them. If something's missing they will deny it. You can probably supplement whatever is missing by an unsolicited submission, but this all falls way outside my experience.

Thank you for your insight, @Demise . I would say one way to ensure USCIS gets your submissions (medicals / birth certificate) if you think something is missing / expired medicals / etc - send it through the regular channel and also send a copy through your senator's office. Then USCIS / VSC cannot misplace the documentation, because that would create a whole new congressional can of worms for them. I have had very good results with involving senator in my case, I did similar double submission in 2020 for expediting my EAD and amending from C31 to C9 code. Result: EAD was amended and expedited within 15 days. Overall, I have a fondness for this agency that surpasses my love for everything else under the sun.

What's exactly security check and how does that work? Are they checking our divorces with the judge/court, interviewing our ex spouses, inquire with the police, reach out to our home countries or our work places?

Did the I-360 take 3 years for approval or the i485? How often does USCIS do security check?

I don't want to wait 3 years for my case and after that for i485 more years. I was fingerprinted so many times already, have no criminal records which I send the proofs from my country and from here. 

They are checking if you have a criminal record.They check every VAWA petitioner.

The I-360 doesn't take 3 years to be adjudicated, it takes around 19/22 months.

What about when C31 card approved then vacated for security check reason (never received C31 card , only responded after request to vawa unit ) , is it possible? The applicant background is clear everywhere . Is it possible officer  forgot security check?

Is there anyway we can add to the statement after submitting the case?

 

I forgot to mention important events in the statement because I was writing it during a stressful time with the abuse so I forgot mentioning many crucial information and events. My statement was so long and painful I still can’t read it because It’s painful for me.  Many things also changed and got worse after submitting my file but I really wish I can add them.

Hi everyone,

My vawa was approved April 2021. After that it was a complete silence till i asked congress person to send an inquiry for i485. Within few weeks after that i got the biometrics appointment for i485 which i got done in December. So what’s next? How long more for approval of i485. Almost an year again of vawa approval

My I-360 application is more than 33 months now pending security checks. I don't think your information is correct on this .
