tashay

Thank u even though am here crying my eyes out.
Been waiting from 2018,just wish I could hear on the spot you are approved.
My lawyer said the same she's new and she has to have her supervisor sign off on it

Believe your lawyer and Stillwinning!!! -- everything will be fine.  I posted a good joke that will probably help.  

Sometimes they tell you the case will undergo review or that you should hear in a month or two…and other vague stuffs but majority of the time, you get updates within a few days or weeks. The officer probably needs to check with a supervisor to authorize the formal approval. So yeah congratulations are in order!👍😊🎊🎉

Same here.
New card was produce on March 16
Case approve on March 16
Still haven't received card.
Deficiency notice received on April 26.
Still no update until now
I have friends who Got approved April and wasn't given a Deficiency notice,but received rfe for Medical.
 

I went to an place called indentoGO,scheduled my appointment online and went,get it via email print it and my lawyer send it.No I went on my own

So finally I filed i360 from October 2018,did background check on my own and send to Uscis last year September 2021,then they send for Rfe and I submit January 2022.
1360 got approved last week,i485 updated to show fingerprint was applied to case November 2018.
Wanted to know what's next and how long I may have to wait for the next step.
🙏 

How long ago was your 360 approved? 

If you have previously appeared for an in person interview ( and meet a few other criteria)  w USCIS, then your I-485 can be processed/approved without an interview, without a transfer….. otherwise your case is being sent to your local field office and you will be scheduled.

No they didn't ask,I field 360 from 2018 and never gotten a rfe or anything.Contacted congressman and uscis said they were waiting on Bgc which they had never requested from me.

Thank you,I was wondering if they did something wrong,now I feel much better😀,a little wait won't kill,as long as I can still work am good.
 

Have your lawyer contact VAWA Dept to inquire.  They are processing November 2018 now.

I thought the same thing while waiting back then...it felt like they forgot about my case..others were getting approvals..but hey nothing is wrong at all..it will get to you..believe me there are petitioners waiting from 2017..if you want you can contact your representative..it helps to draw attention to your case..and in turn may set the ball rolling! Otherwise be a little bit more patient. It's coming!😊👍

I went with my lawyer. She explained my situation to the officer and gave him the proof of the filed vawa. The officer wanted to cancle my 485 saying that since my husband is not US citizen but LPR he will give me 2 weeks to prove the vawa is approved (we all know how long does vawa actually takes, so that wasn’t an option). So I left not knowing what’s going to happen. My lawer didn’t know as well. She sent a letter to USCIS the very next day and thanks to that letter my 485 is still active (I am still getting the work permits category c9 and the status updade on the 485 shows whats on the picture I am attaching). My advice is - get a lawer. 

My case was approved today!!!

Same here. Spouse withdrew petition - no removal proceeding - filed VAWA.
Be encouraged. You’re not alone and your case is not unique. 😊

USCIS still can deny your 485, even you have a pending VAWA with PF. The decision is depending on your Interview Officer to deny your case on spot or hold it until your VAWA is adjudicated.
 
There is no filling fee for VAWA. You can file a new 485/765/131 (Fees may applied)  with VAWA if abuser is US Citizen.
