I am a silent reader in this forum . This forum is more powerful than even hiring a lawyer . I have a lawyer but I gathered all my knowledge here by reading through all the threads and I just want to say a big Thank You to @Stillwinning!!!😊 @sandraj and all the other guys who always chimed in to educate us all on this forum. My journey started in 2019 and it was one of the hardest and most devastated year of my life but with God and you guys I was able to find some strength to do this. I’m a oct 2019 filer and I got my first RFE august 2021and I was so frustrated and depressed all over again with sleepless nights etc but today God showed up and I got a notification for my I 360 that a new card is being produced . I cried with a sense of relief that finally they approved my case . For all of you guys waiting for your case to be adjudicated don’t lose hope just believe in God and take advice from all the educated people on this forum . It’s worth it than even hiring a lawyer . Again Thank you , Thank you all and God’s richest blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Congratulations to you, everyone is happy for your victory and kind words.

1:- i360, i765 (c31) and i485 package sent all together in July 2019 . I did send my medicals at the same time too

2:- case was received 08/01/2019 

3:- biometrics October 2019 n RFE was sent in the same month for good faith marriage and good moral character. So i send letters from friends , family and tons of pictures. Police clearance from my county and the country i lived before. 
4:- RFE was sent in December and after that it was a complete silence. 
5:- i360 was approved 04/29/2021

6:- i765 c31 got approved on 07/14/2021. Yes i lived without and EAD for all that long because of my lawyer’s mistake . She never agreed to do c09. I would recommend everyone to apply c09 if you have your i485 concurrent too.

7:- I didn’t receive any transfer notice for i485 or nothing after my i360 approval. So i did inquire through my congress man in October 2021 and after couple of weeks they send me bio appointment for i485

8:- bio done for i485 on 12/09/2021

9:- New card is being produced for i485 on 01/13/2022. There was no interview , No medical being asked again.

I applied in sep 2019

Got an Rfe after a month of so for good moral character

After I responded to the rfe I got prima facie 2 times. 

Around mid last year I got a notice of intend to deny which was returned due to address change. I wrote two letters requesting for the noid to be resend and finally after a few months it was send to me. I responded before the 33 days deadline. And today I got the decision the form 1360 was approved.  I am still waiting for the letter which explains the next steps I should take. The total process took about 2years and 4 months. 

Happy new year and congratulations to your victory

Hi everyone,

 

I wanted to share my journey.

I filed my paperwork in  Dec 2018

prima facia given in Feb 2019

work permit issued June 2019

Approved in 360 Vermont March/April 2020

work permit issued March 2020

additional work permit issued June 2020

485 sent to Local office September 2020

appointment issued December 2020

 

Approval for Green Card December 2020 AT THE APPOINTMENT!!!

 

My attorney went with me to the appointment at USCIS everything was done virtually. The person assigned to my case asked routine questions, then asked for us to put our medical forms in the packet provided. 2 minutes later he came into the room to personally tell us that I had a green card! By the second week of January I had my card.

 

I know my situation was not normal, but you know what... we got this! I’m now struggling to find my purpose, but I really felt like someone needed this. Your time is next!! 
 

love you all💕

 

Congratulations

You timeline is amazing

Congratulations ！！！！！

Hi, Family!!!

Hope everyone is warm and healthy😘

I have a dilemma and did not find anything useful online.

My AP is outside of normal processing times and EAD is months away according to their new estimate. Should I inquire about AP to nudge the case or I will risk just getting just the AP, not the combo card? Which form is corresponding to the combo card AD or EAD?

Some relevant details:

7/24/2020 Initial filing I-360, I-485, I-765 and I-131. VSC, local Philly

11/30/2020 Biometrics for I-465 and I-765 only. No mention of I-131 which is still at case received online.

1/13/2021 lawyer tried to expedite EAD/AP

2/11/2021 USCIS replied that the case will be processed as normal. I have a feeling that he did not include any evidence (I might be wrong) and it's not relevant any more so there is no need to fight with him or resubmit.

Don't want to poke the lion but it's been 7 months since filing and to think that I might need another 4 for the initial EAD is making me want to cry. Still, my case was pulled once in January and I don't want to make things worse.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

best wishes to you

You will get there

Hello Everyone. I wanted to share my timeline with you all.

First of I came here with a J1 Visa. I arrived here in August 2014 and by January 3, 2015 I met my abusive narc Ex husband. We bought a house here in the USA and I sold my apartment in Colombia to help him buy our house that ended up being in only his name. We got Married October that same year and I left the house for the last time March 2017 after what seem to me years and years of physical, emotional and sexual abuse. I went to the Spouse abuse resource center where I found help and they took my case. I filed separately because I had my J1 current. My J1 expired June 2020 and I received my new card on January, 2020. Now I am in the process of filing my GC. I know I waited a long time to file for the GC but I did not have the money. This past week I was finally able to pay the fee and my attorney is putting all the documents together to send the I-765 to replace my EAD, advance parole and I-485

 

Here is my timeline. 

 

April 10, 2018 My I-360 was received and the filing fee was waived 

March 11, 2019 prima facie

October 11, 2019 RFE

January 9, 2020 RFE document received by Uscis

January 17, 2020 new card was ordered

January 22, 2020 card was mailed

January 24, 2020 card delivered

June 4, 2020 Case Was Approved

 

Hopefully soon all the documents will be sent. My only concern is the my medical records were signed by my doctor more than 60 days ago. I think I might have to do ask for medical record again but It's ok.

How long do you guys think the GC will take? Maybe 2 more years??? Well, as we say in my country. Quien espera lo mucho espera lo poco. I waited for a long time and 2 years is just a lil bit more time.

 

I love this Forum and after lurking here for 2 year I finally join to let you know my timeline. Anyone with a similar case?  Have a good one everyone!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations
