Since Friday, I keep refreshing my vawa application, telling myself you’ve been approved and you’re awake and not dreaming . 
 

When my ex wife, left me and filed for divorce just to try to get me deported, I thought my world was going to end . I almost gave up and wanted to move to Canada . Until, I made research and found vawa and saw that I qualified. 
 

I never knew all my years of marriage I was being abused, emotionally, psychologically and even sexually by my ex . I never knew I had all the evidence staring on my face . I came to this forum, spoke to a few fine people on here and they helped me on how to put my application together . 
 

I put all my evidence together, I never had a lawyer but I believed God was my attorney and his word would always come first . This approval means so much to me, because I’ve come a long way . 

At least, I can see my parents and siblings after almost 8 years . Thank you once again guys . I love y’all and many more testimonies shall abound here .

Hi VJ fam,

 

So I made a huge mistake recently, I sent my C09 EAD renewal application to NBC as I did not know that having a pending i360 would mean that I need to send the application to VSC I got the automatic extension letter but it has been 211 days since NBC received my file. Does anybody know if NBC would actually give me a renewed C09 EAD? Or should I just send another application to VSC ASAP?

 

Thank you very much.

We saw cases here where NBC transferred the case to VSC but it took months. I would send a new package to VSC, or you can ask the congressman to inquiry and find out

Hi everyone.

i renewed my EAD C09 with AP in jan 21,now my i360 got approved and i received C31.

Does C31 comes with advance parole or i have to apply for AP again?

which one of the EADs should i use if i travel to my home country?

thanks for your help..

•  

 

Use the one with c09 AP. Both cards are valid but keep renewing the c09/AP combo based on i485 until you get your green card. I never used the c31.

Hey guys, thank you for your previous support and advice.
I recently got I360 "Card being Produced" status, so assuming this means approval I came up with a question.
I have I485 pending since September 2018 based on marriage (adjustment from K-1 Visa) which is currently at NBC.
Do I need to mail NBC requesting to change I485 basis to approved I360 or should I take no action and just wait for an interview ?
Will this change maybe happen automatically at NBC once they received approved I360 from VSC ?

Ask your congressman to inquiry and see where is your I-485 now. They will schedule the interview and you have VAWA approved so you don’t need to ask to change it. When you go to your interview they will have it on file.

How fast you got an interview after your congressman reached out to them? 

They never responded to mine since January.

I made two inquiries, the first one was August 2020 ( they said I would be scheduled for interview when a date becomes available).

The second inquiry was January 2021 When my congresswoman reached out to them we received a response that my interview was scheduled for 02/01/2021 but, I never received my interview letter, so they provide me with a copy. Then , we had a snowstorm in NYC and they canceled my interview 😂 and rescheduled it for 03/23/2021.

Please how does one change from c31 to c9  ?

File a new form I-765 with the category C09 based on your pending I-485. 
 

if you have only the I-360 then you need to wait until they approved it and then they will send your C31 automatically

That’s awesome congrats. And sorry for asking this did the officer ask you any yes no questions or other questions or he/she just requested the medical and the other mentioned documents?

Yes he did ask me those questions. If I was ever arrested or in removal proceedings. But they already know everything, he did everything so quickly lol

Congratulations!!! Do you know when your case was transferred from Vermont ? Or they never sent you this letter?

I never received that information, I only found out it was in my local office after my congresswoman made an inquiry.

My I-485 interview was canceled February 01 2021 because of snowstorm in NYC. Anybody know how long they usually take to reschedule a new interview date? From what I see they might also send me RFE for new medicals.

Hi, all I had my green card interview on the 25th Jan and was approved. So this is how it was. First I should advice everyone to be on the lookout for their mails as my online status never changed from june 2018. I got my interview letter on the 19th of jan and only had 4 days that includes the Saturday (23rd) to do my medicals and God knows how terrified and anxious I was. I only paid $178 (NJ) for my physicals as for the vaccines I used my previous shots ( that I did when I had the ( I-130)as proof that I had the vaccines I only had to do the flu shot and blood work to show  my immunity. Luckily again my results were out the next day. Well on the the 25th I went to my interview waited about 56 min to be called in ( I was so nervous kept checking the time,) Finally Am called in. The IO swore me Questions 

1. what’s your full name

2. Date of birth

3. whats you’re address 

4. About 6 yes/no questions 

5. Asked if I have Kids...said Yes 1 IO congratulations 

6. Are you still married to this guy. Yes...IO get a divorce from that guy and move on

IO then excuses himself goes to another office I over hear him speak to someone else... am like Oh my God now what... He comes back and asks is this a safe address to send your documents I said yes Sir, then he says well we’re good here if you here from me within a week then it’s not good if you don’t expect a green card in 2 weeks. He says he will look at my file in the afternoon I said thank you he walked me out. I go home and boom you’re APPROVED. Got an email no text updates. That was on Monday then Friday I got my approval letter now waiting for the card. 
I could swear it me less than 8min in there it was so fast. I wish everyone nothing but the best and God’s blessings. My file date was May 2018 , No prima facie, I-360  Approval Oct 7th 2020, interview 25th Jan 2021. One RFE , GMC, and proof of abuse.... my only evidence was my written statement and two from friends nothing else, and see what God did. With God everything is possible have faith stay strong.

 

Congratulations 🎉🍾

God just gave you a chance to mitigate the delay the RFE would have brought you before it happened! Wish you all the best John!😊👍

So what happens if I didn’t have time to do my medical again? I’m very worried they will deny my i485 Monday if I don’t take It with me.
