I received the update too on aug 3 and my lawyer didn't send anything but my congress did. So thats why they updated to that 

You mean you congressman reached out to them to ask to look at your petition?

Hello vawa family. 

Recently i sent some additional documents at Vermont though They didn’t asked for any RFE. Hoped additional docs could will help my vawa case. 
Today i got a status update on my vawa saying RFE response are received and uscis begun working on my case again. Surprisingly they never asked for any RFE and my case status also not showing which date rfe is issued. Do you think is there anything to worry? Is the status got changed because of that?

To transfer your approval to nbc why will it get denied by congress? can you explain? 

NVC national visa center 

 

USCIS denied the request of the Congressperson to forward my approval to the national visa center faster. They said processing 824 is case by case basis and I have to wait 12 months processing time at Vermont. Sucks I’m waiting in line which taking more than 12 months for other 824 filers who are mostly requesting a notice duplicate. It’s ridiculous how long 824 takes for minor requests. 
 

I would understand if it’s follow to join, because they have to study the case and beneficiary’s back ground, but taking over a year for a duplicate or forwarding already approved petition to the NVC doesn’t make any sense

I think it might have been good timings on your part to submit extra information without a request but maybe in the system it's to alert you that they got your documents

Perhaps you can look at it this way, follow to join on a VAWA is for kids separated from parent , but nothing Needed  to “ study case or background “..beneficiaries already designated in the USCIS  petition approval stage and security checks done at consulate …so YOUR process no more or less complex…
 

For expedite request to work , you need to ask USCIS and see if YOUR reasons are within criteria…and even get a chance and venue to appeal an expedite denial .


I think you tried USCIS expedite, if I recall correctly…what did you list as qualifying emergency/hardship from their “ list”?

At least follow to join is adding new info and a new person to an approved petition , regardless of how old they are. I understand if it takes more than 6 months. But to just release an already approved petition for the same person, no new info added, Or printing a duplicate notice? Now that’s a ridiculous wait

Out of curiosity, do you think I can get my i-360 approved and have my I-485 (currently held in abeyance) approved all before the 2024 election cycle? Or at least by January 2025?
 

i submitted my I-130 and I-485 Dec 2020

Abeyance request for I-485 submitted and received on Nov 2021 

i-360 was also submitted and received on Nov 2021.

 

currently on C09 from my initial I-765 when filed I-485 that is set to expire august 2023. Can I submit for renewal in February 2023?

 

have one prima facie on hand since April 2022

Yesterday I received an update: “ we sent a request for initial evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number XX. The request for evidence explains what we need from you. We will not take action on your case until we receive the evidence or the deadline to submit it expires.” 
 

Waiting to see what this RFIE is, but has anyone else experienced this? Thank you.

I finally received the RFIE. It’s for medicals and form 864 W. I’m confused about how to fill out part 2 of form 864 W. Should I choose 1(c) or 1(d)? I’m not a widower, FYI.

Question for people who's green card is approved, and the interview was waived. How long after submitting your medicals did you get your green card?

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. 

Initial Advance Parole (from Feb 2020 application) approved in June 2021. 

C31 EAD production update - Nov 1st, 2021. 

C31 card delivered to attorney's office on Nov 8, 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

C9 EAD renewal card production case update - July 20, 2022 (took them just 17 months to process)

C9 EAD / AP renewal approval case update on both cases on July 21, 2022.

Combo card delivered to attorney's office on July 27, 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.
