Congratulations to everyone who’s getting nearer to their destination. May I ask how do employers verify the EAD? At my previous job, I just submitted a copy of my EAD and not any notice of action (like I-797C). My current EAD is expiring in 4 weeks but I right now have an extension of 180 days after those 4 weeks. Do I just submit that document (notice or receipt what we call it) and that’s all now? How will they verify it? Using my case number? The renewal case is still pending but I assume it will get rejected soon because that I-485 is rejected. I did file a whole new application (I-485 plus I-765 and I-131) when I filed VAWA 10 days ago (have neither received any receipts nor my check has been cashed so a little nervous if anyone has even touched my application or not to even put in the system). May someone advice on this please?

So just submit the extension/renewal receipt you received, they will verify with USCIS as needed.

great to see EAD approvals!

I'm waiting for C09 renewal for 8 months

 

Also vawa is now approved so will I get the C09? anyone else in this situation?

should I apply for C31 renewal?

I am in the same situation. Still waiting for c09 renewal and will apply to renew my c31 soon. 
 

 There’s a descent amount of people who have both the c09 and c31 EADs. You should get your c09 at some point. While I’ve seen people on this forum getting their c09 denied after c31 approval, it does not happen to everyone. 

I’d say it’s totally worth it to renew both EADs until you get your GC, especially with how long it takes to get them now. Mine are exactly 6 mo apart, so it’s very convenient.

I don’t know about marijuana maybe @Deniseor @sandranj can help. But if I can guess marijuana is considered drug and unlawful in many states and may impact your approval

Agree. I have c31 approved since nov 2021. C9 expired in june 2021, c9 renewal petition pending since feb 2021. I filed expedite for c9 renewal one month before my vawa and c31 was approved but they denied it even though i met expedite criteria, probably since they approved the c31.

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.

That depends if they require the drug test as a part of the medical. You have to check the details of medical exam requirements or ask the others who have already done the medical if It contains the drug test as well.
