Thank you! 😊

Hello everyone, just returning from my interview, it lasted for about 20 mins, he asked about my abuse a little how i met my husband when we got married,his birthday if we are divorced and i told him our divorce is still pending! He went to the yes or no question and asked about if i ever had any public assistance and i said yes he ask when did i started receiving i was really confused cus i don’t know the exact date that i started receiving it, so i kind of have mix feelings wether my pending divorce and that can influence my case. He handed a paper to me and said he can’t see any reason why my case won’t be approved and on the paper it says my case is under review! that i will hear from them 10-20 days please guys keep me in ur prayers i’m really tense !Hopefully my journey will be over soon!

You don't need the I-360 original receipt to bring to the interview.The original documents that you needs are birth certificate and respective translation,passaport, marriage certificate, if he or you were divorce before then you need the divorce decree, and original EAD.

Thanks alot Sandra,you are a really God saint!!God bless you for us!!

Hello all,

                        Did any of you deal with an ex using your legal status against you during child custody? My ex has a GC and my daughter is a US citizen. My ex has told the judge that since only have my EAD card which is only valid for 12-18 months at a time after which I have to renew it, I am only here "temporarily". How do judges/courts usually deal with/handle this type of situation? Can he use my immigration status against me in court? I would appreciate any information that you can share with me regarding this issue. Thank you!

I really hope so. Because if I’m right about the expiration date of the c31 being on August 1, 2019 the when I receive it, I’ll have to start the renewal process immediately. But I’ll talk to my lawyer. 

 

About the field office for the I485, my lawyer said Lee’s Summit, Missouri which I find weird because I live in Texas. But that’s what the notice said. 

that’s crazy, does your lawyer lives in Missouri?

I need help as to my situation. 

 

I have a C9 EAD card that is expiring on May 29, 2019. 

 

On August 1, 2018 my VAWA was approved and it said they would be sending my C31 card. Well long story short, I never got the card because itvwas delivered but taken back to USCIS and then my card was promptly shredded. 

 

The firstvweek of September 2018, when I did not receive my card I told my lawyer to make an inquiry and ask them to resend the card. We never got any reply until December 17, 2018. The reply said they will be re-mailing the card to address provided but can’t give a timeline. 

 

soni  I asked my lawyer, should I just renew my C9? Coz I don’t want to go out of status when the C9 card I have expires on May 29. And I don’t know when this c31 card is coming and what the expiration date on that is - most likely August 1, 2019 since it was approved and printed on August 1,2018. 

 

My lawyer is saying that we shoukd just wait for the C31 because it might confuse USCIS. And in his words, “there is an unprecedented delay in all filers because of the shutdown”. 

 

As for the application of Permanent Resident, the last notification I have received and hasn’t changed since is 

 

“on August 29, 2018 we transferred your case to another office or jurisdiction.” 

So that my last update on that matter. 

 

What should i do? I don’t want to go out of status if the c31 doesn’t come by May 28. Should I insist we renew my C9? Or what should be my next plan of action? 

 

Please help me. 

 

Congratulations on your approval, i believe you should listen to your attorney cus they know better ! and please if i may ask where is your field office?cus you should be having ur interview soon,it’s been almost 7 months after approval .

Hi everyone

My new EAD got approved on 2/19

I received NOA I-797 letters in mail 2/22

But it’s been 8 days so far and I still didn’t get the actual card in the mail. 

Even when I check my case online, it doesn’t say “card is produced” or “card is mailed”, it just says that they approved my request.

 

can anyone explain this please?

thank you

don’t worry its on the way! mine was approved on the 02/07 and i got it on the 02/16

Truth to tell I wasn't nervous until my name was called. The IO was so nice. Sworn me in. I had fingerprints done. It took us 20mins for interview with yes/no questions. She asked for passport and EAD and fotocopies. And confirmed the info on Form 485. She gave me a heads up that no questions would be asked about my past whatsoever. Not even docs about marriage. An hour after I left, I received an online update that my case is under initial review. I am looking forward for approval notice soonest. 

Anyone here with the same experience please? 

Congratulations dear,God is faithful!where is ur field office?

What helped me was having a mindset that I believe I have a strong case and the interviewing officer will feel it. I requested to put mine on hold with nothing (360) filed yet. With butterflies in my stomach, my heart pounding you could hear without stethoscope, I faced my fear telling the IO to please put it on hold because I still had to gather my docs to file 360.

 

I waited for my turn to be called and told her why my ex spouse was a no show. I gave her my request letter. She gave me RFE to file 360 in 84days. 

 

Congratulations to your Prima Facie.  That means you have something to show to IO already. Relax your mind and you'll be fine. Put all your energy to what you want to happen. Not what you don't want. I am still mastering this, because I know we have gone through a lot and a tiny distraction could trigger anything scary. 

Hello @Milestone2017 i believe you had interview today right?how was it?can you share your experience please?thanks
