Congratulations. May i know who is your lawyer who filed Madamus? 

 

I consider my case relatively weak. Very few documents, weak psychological evaluation as psychologist was not good. I received 2 RFE's so far. 2nd was on 6 page long asking all minor details about my case. Last status update was correspondence received in Sept 2021, nothing since then, recently i inquire through congressmen, got to know i am stuck in background check, dont know what they are checking, I am getting restless. I am thinking to file Mandamus, what you recommend? what are the criteria's, requirement for mandamus? Would it turn negative for me? I cant even travel as they could anytime deny my case i am being abroad.

Hi guys I’m getting a little nervous - I read that people’s cases get transferred but in my case I just got a notice saying my I-130 case got transferred to Vermont! What does it mean? It is my original filing from the abuser.

Mine took about 5 months if I'm remembering correctly!

Thank you. This is very interesting.

From C-31 EAD approval to i-360 approval notice, i have heard from 5 days to months with some feedback in other forums that its the same. Any idea how to get approval notice sooner? I have received c-31 ead

November 2019- submitted I-360

March 2020- RFE for good moral character

No prima facie, still waiting. 

Senator, congressman and Ombudsman did not help.

I’m also waiting since 2019 , did you ever received any response from congressperson or senator? Is it under background check?

Yes,  they inquired to USCIS many times and the answer was that my case is still under review, pending, has issues or in background check...it felt like they didn't even check what's going on but every time sent a generic letter to get rid of me..

After more than 7 years, my 485 status changed to new card being produced. Went through 2 interviews with 3 interview cancellations, 3 RFEs, denial, MTR, 7-8 EADs.

My case history is way too long but here’s a summary of recent events: Case moved to nbc earlier this year, they issued RFE in August 2022 for BC. Then case moved to field office, medical RFE was issued in mid October. I didn’t receive the rfe notice, luckily my attorney received a copy in November. Responded in November, then waited 2.5 months for a decision.

After being traumatized in life for so long, it feels unreal, and I still keep thinking about what’s going to go wrong again. Fear has become my second nature. Missed out on the most important 5 years of my life. I can have some peace now and go see my parents, although I still feel stressed about international travel. I thank you all and this community for being there for each other, I’ve spent years reading your posts and comments.

Another update to all members from this amazing forum ! 

 

Time line 
**March 2018 - filed vawa and ask the USCIS to hold the I485.

Since 2018 they never took any action on my case ‘always renewing prima facie and work permit’. I sent a lot inquires from congressman to USCIS and they always saying ‘background check’.

**July2022- I fired the lawyer who filed my case and hired a new one. The new lawyer was doing everything to make uscis take action on my case and that didn’t make any difference to USCIS they was saying background check again and again.
My new lawyer recommended that I hire another lawyer to sue USCIS ‘MANDAMUS’.

**September2022 - I hire a lawyer to sue the uscis that cost me $5k and the amazing lawyer assured me that my case would be approved based on my evidences against my abuser.

**November 2022  - vawa approved.

**December14/2022 - RFE i693 

**January26/2023 - i485 APPROVED no interview

 

THANK YOU THANK YOU everyone finally my journey is completed so far 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I sent my I693 to USCIS on 01/17/2023 and they approved me today 01/26/2023 .

DONT GIVE UP, I hope everyone who is passing thru this long and stressful process can enjoy from this glory 🙏🙏🙏

Congratulations!
