It seems it used to be 6months to expiry right? My lawyer told me 4 months as well and I was confused but I just complied 🤷🏽‍♀️😩

You can still file  within 6 months of the expiration date on their current EAD.

Whenever something is in the process is not followed exactly => USCIS gets confused => this causes delays (not always, but many times).

 

If USCIS didn't need to differenciate between USPS mail and express carrier mail, they would have used one address for both. But something is baked into their process, relying on this difference. It would be fair to think there may be a delay associated with mail being sent to a wrong location.

Apparently the NVC and usps set up the mail sent to Potomac falls to be delivered to Sterling VA (locations close to each other) So @Demise is right, there will be no delay. Hopefully I get the DQ next week with no delays. Thanks anyway

It's so quiet in this thread... let's liven things up with our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

============================================

THE ARCHITECT AND THE LAWYER

 

An architect vacationing on the French Riviera met an old lawyer friend and asked him what he was doing there.

 

The lawyer replied, "Remember that lousy real estate that I bought?  Well, it caught fire, so here I am with the proceeds from the fire insurance.  What are you doing here?"

 

The architect replied, "Remember that lousy real estate that I had in Mississippi?  Well, the river overflowed, and here I am with the proceeds from the flood insurance."

 

The lawyer looked puzzled.  "Gee," he said, "how did you start the flood?"

Vermont: https://www.uscis.gov/i-765-addresses, then I-131 just goes together with wherever I-765 goes if filing them together.

Hi everyone! Quick question on unemployment - maybe some of you experienced the process of applying for it and going through GC interview. I am still in the process of awaiting my green card interview/mail, VAWA approved. I was recently separated from my firm and wanted to apply for unemployment insurance. Are there any repercussions going forward with immigration if I did that?

No, unemployment is not something that disqualifies you, it could raise questions regarding the public charge ground of inadmissibility for most other AOS applicants but we're exempt from that one.

I’m loosing my hope. It’s been 33 months and still I haven’t heard anything except 5 prima facie. There is no rfe there is no approval and my green card application still says “interview scheduled Oct 2020” . My lawyer went and asked them to hold my case because we were opening vawa case. Everytime I check processing time is going up. Now 35 months for vawa and it says “80% of the cases got answer within 35 months. Even if I get approval god knows how long I will have to wait for gc interview after vawa approval. I have a fiancé and she is from states, she is sad and I feel it. Apparently I can’t get married before I get gc through vawa. I’m just so tired and stressed….. please share your opinions family…

Just hang in there. You almost there. Once VAWA approve then in 6 months you should get your green card depending on how busy is your field office is.

I didn't receive RFE just 4 prima facia. I had to wait 26 months. There are many other who didn't even receive prima facia just straight to approval.

yeah when my case was approved at that time USCIS was taking 24 months but they decided mine in 26. Right now USCIS is taking 35 so you are almost there.

Hello Family, I am very confused what to do, a week back I received a notification on I-485 that they have updated my name (I had not requested for any name change/update). I did some research and found that they do update name/address internally sometimes to match the documents so there is nothing to worry.

I had submitted an congressmen enquiry to check on my address update (as USCIS was sending documents on my old address even after I submitted application for address change) , so I assumed may be its an address update.

Today I received and RFE on my I-485 for birth certificate which i already submitted while filling the form, so not sure why are they asking it again. I also noticed that my name is now updated (I have only one name so all my forms had FNU as my first name till now but this RFE said my name in First and Last name).

Do you think this is going to mess up my process?

 

Second question is I received the RFE on Orange color paper does that mean anything?

 

what should I do please advise.

Uscis will display your name as written  on your birth certificate.

You have to submit to the office that you mailed  your AOS, if  didn’t get any letter mentioned they transferred your case .
