Hi all, 

  My C9 EAD and AP renewal is pending since I filed in February 2021. The initial C9 expired in June 2021. I have C31 EAD since nov 2021. I submitted an out of normal processing time inquiry online for the C9 EAD renewal petition last week and this is what I saw on the USCIS egov case status website yesterday:

    On July 5, 2022, your inquiry about why your case is taking longer than our processing time, referral number SRXXXXXXVSC, was completed.

    On July 5, 2022, we sent a response to your inquiry about why your case is taking longer than our processing time, referral number SRXXXXXXVSC.

    On July 5, 2022, your inquiry about why your case is taking longer than our processing time, referral number SRXXXXXXVSC, was assigned to an officer for response.

Does anyone know what this means? Of course my lawyer and I have not received any communication from USCIS. I am hoping to get my C9 EAD/AP combo before the C31 expires in November this year. In other news I also submitted an out of normal processing time inquiry through my local senator for my I485 this week. 

 

You will just receive a standard response from them that we can not provide you any information via phone or through third party. please write to Vermont etc.

Ah, yes! I forgot about the privacy issues. I think I will go through senator for inquiry on C9 renewal, rather than writing to VSC. This way at least they will be forced to respond in time. Thank you very much. 

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.

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

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.

Hi fam 

 

My I-824 status was just updated to “expedite request denied” but I haven’t submitted any expedite request.
 

I don’t know where this coming from, the only thing I did is ask my congressperson to inquire about the status of my application

They are going to send you a form letter to write to Vermont.  Your attorney can email the VAWA unit why have they not done that.

Better ask your congressman to follow up on your behalf . They work faster than senator

My attorney told me that i can qualify for prosecutorial discretion. I am in immigration court and my case just keep being postponed while waiting for vawa to be adjudicated. My vawa has been pending for 9 months now. 
 

Can someone explain to me what this is? I’m not sure I understand by what she means. I tried asking clarity but she takes long to answer me back. She asked i send her letters from friends and family of GMC and tax returns, and criminal history document from the police station. However i do have a disorderly conduct and an arrest that came upon by my ex lying on me to the police to get me arrested and deported. It was initially DV but obviously fought that and it went to disorderly without DV. She knows this and said it wouldn’t be a problem. 
@sandranj @Demise @Pinkrlion

It's a recommendation to dismiss or administrative close the case, if you don't have any criminal record.

Hello fam, 

 My attorney just shocked me with news of an RFE  that was due on July 1. I have one question - is it over for my VAWA application (been waiting since Feb 2020)?

Due to covid USCIS extended the deadline  to respond the Request of evidence.

Can you guys share some updates? It’s been 19 months and still nothing except “fees waived “:((

 

is it a good sign since they did not ask any rfe? I already got 2 prima facie.

USCIS is taking 26 months to adjudicate the cases.When they will review your case, they might issue an RFE or not, until that time your case  will remain in the queue.

Thank you for the respond sandranj. But sometimes some people get approval within 20-22 months, is it just a luck? Or their case is stronger?

She gave but the average time for adjudication of vawa cases. 

My case was approved in approximately 26 months.

So, it's the time you will see more files being adjudicated. 

Some officers are faster than others. 

In another word, you can't really tell. 

More often, it's after 24 months that you can start expecting any decisions. But if it happens before, thank God for that.

It's not the matter of case being strong or not.

Thanks Sandra, I have nearly all of the docs required but it is my intention to proceed without my Attorney. Is there a form I should fill out to inform USCIS of such?
