Hey everyone. So I receive this letter in the mail the other day and I find this weird ..

  1. I never got any updates on my case online 
  2. I never received any request for Medical 
  3. This letter came from a different field officeimageproxy.php?img=&key=da9b9b78549feebe

Did you move while your case was pending. 

To me you moved from that state or location therefore this field office does not have judication anymore.

how long did it take to schedule an intw after your i-360 approval?

Interview waived in my case. If they send RFE for medicals , it means they won't interview. One less thing to worry about, thankfully.

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.

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.

Anywhere from 2 months to two years depending on field office and security checks. Average is 6-12 months that I saw on forum. Filing a mandamus helps usually. @RKE filed and successfully got expedited. Costs 4-5k to file mandamus writ and your i485 has to be out of normal processing time.

Thank you! I see your time line, it took 17 months for you to get RFE, did you file mandamus at last ?

For Brooklyn it shows 29 months , what I am not clear is 29 months from the time you applied for I-485 (or ) 29 months from the time you were approved for I-360 ?

The calculation is complicated by USCIS only measuring from date of filing of i-485. Which will not make sense for people who filed I360.

Didn't have to file mandamus, they sent medical deficiency notice in Feb and RFE for medicals in may, 7 months after vawa approval. Was about to file if they had dragged their feet a little longer.

@Demise should I select the  "signature required" service for the FedEx delivery for medicals to field office. The FedEx employee on Saturday said FedEx standard overnight would ensure delivery but now I am not sure. should i go in my FedEx account and change it to signature required? Medicals packet is scheduled to be delivered to stlouis field office tomorrow. 

Not sure if requiring signature delays the package or something.

Hi all, 

I send an i824 form for my 2 deraritives in June 2022. I got a response today stating that they received it August 4, 2022. When I look at the receipt number, it started with MSc which is NBC. The processing time for NBC is 18mths for i824. The application was sent to Phoenix Arizona as directed by uscis website and advice here. This seems like a very long time to wait. Are there anyone here with the same experience? Please help, I'm so stressed.

Ok thank you! I think that means my file is being reviewed now, which is about time. Very nervous!

It means, they have received an internal document(mostly requested by Vermont) from another office or an agency on your behalf.
