Yeap

Hi everyone, good evening. 
 
After 2 years and 7 months I'm back to share how my situation took the direction that the Lord saw fit for me. 
 
I tried to seek help from many professionals and people that could throw some light in my situation and help me find the better direction with some advices. Although I was told that my marriage was "unpleasant" and not abuse. 
 
The Lord in His infinite wisdom helped me to find what would be best for me. 
 
2 years and 7 months ago I applied for VAWA by myself, I since I could not find someone willing to help. I provided all supporting documents for my case. I did the best I could. In 01/13/2020 I received a RFE requesting a background check from Spain. I provided such document and in 04/03/2020 my case was approved. 
 
I encourage all of you who are hopeless, and have been on a situation like mine, do not despair, for the Lord hear your prayers and he will guide you through dark times. 
 
If anyone need help with anything, hit me up and I'll try my best to help. 
 
God be with you and bless you all!!

My case got approved as well!!! Interview was April 6th and was canceled, but today my case was approved and a new card is being produced ☺️🎉 

I think many of us are in same club.

Yup.  OP,  if she "hid" that huge student debt from you before your marriage, that is really awful.  Another lesson for others reading here:  discuss and know your partner's financial situation before marriage.  

Green Card is now on hand, or should I say in my wife's itchy hand!!!!!!! It's been real folks, proof that patience is a virtue!!! I am still here with you all.

Green card arrived today!!! 🇺🇸

Another status update  4/7/2020 - Card Was Mailed To Me.

This is what have been thinking about that is likely they wave our interview but definitely we are going to have one during the ROC. It will be a good decision to cover up wasted time for this Covid19 and speed up for others who are not yet to be schedule. I think this will be applied to those people whose interview got canceled due to Covid19. 

Similar situation.
 
Our interview was scheduled for March 30th. Cancelled and said it would be rescheduled.
 
Today we received the same notice. We were thinking the same.  No interview because of COVID-19. 
 
So exciting! 

For those of you that  have had their interview cancelled due to the virus situation all is not lost USCIS can waive your interview for AOS.

Yeah the changed it 3 years ago to where EVERYBODY was getting an interview for AOS but that caused cases to spike. So USCIS changed it to where you can be approved for AOS without a interview but you will receive one for ROC. 

I can definitely see more approvals without an interview due to Corona.

Well I was not going to post this as it could be a HUGE error, but I decided to post anyway as it serves to give other VJers information and also something to perhaps look out for if you are in the same boat as us. I'm a September 2019 AOS filer my AOS interview was scheduled for April 17th and due to the virus situation it was cancelled as I expected. My status changed back to case ready for interview on April 1st. Enter today April 3rd I get a text from USCIS get this..... that a new card is being produced for the I-485 form (GC)!!!!!!!!
 
No interview no advance warning no nothing. I immediately logged on to my account at USCIS and low and behold  the status is New Card Is Being Produced!!!!! Can you believe that? USCIS has been known to error before, so I really can only hold my breath until the card arrives in the mail. I'm sure this will happened to other folks here on VJ if in fact this was not an error. So we all can be on the look out for other people getting their GC without going on a interview. I know no interview was a common thing several years ago, but USCIS changed that to where everyone interviewed. The only thing I can think of other than being an error is USCIS decided that all the cancellations of interviews was going to set them way behind so they decided to clean out a few cases and approve without an interview.
 
For your information we submitted the standard AOS packet (pre February 24th). In addition to the supporting documents for the I-485, I-864, I-765 and the I-131 we did not send any other documents or evidence (besides the marriage license). I have no explanation other than what I have laid out here. I'll for sure post here once the card reaches us! What a Friday!!!!!!!!! And it's early still!!!!!

USCIS has ceased all in-person services effective immediately until at least April 1st (not a joke).
 
 

We had interview a couple weeks ago and brought copies of aos packet and marriage proof stuff. Got to interview and he asked a couple questions from the aos form (are you a prostitute, are you a pimp, have you been caught doing illegal stuff lol) then said it was over and approved. I said i have all this stuff you dont need any???? He said nope we just ask that in case your file is missing anything. I said what about marriage proof stuff he said nope your marriage is too new (7 months) for you to have much. I got kinda mad cause we spent all night getting no sleep gathering evidence the night before. West palm beach office is where we had interview. Whole interview we were laughing and joking around.

Status updated to interview  was scheduled, totally did not expect  this especially for the Dallas local office. Awaiting the notice for the interview date which I suspect will be next month sometime. No word on EAD, but I'll take this LOL. 179 days as of today.

Our interview was 3/4 
updated by 3/4
 card produced 3/4
mailed 3/9

I had my AOS interview today and it was approved. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask.

I had my interview on the 20th of February and my status changed 24hrs later to “ New Card is being produced” . Thank you 🙏 VJ family and Good luck to everyone who are yet to get their EAD/interview dates or yet to be approved.It’s just a matter of time.

Got my Green Card in mail today!
 
Weird thing is that USCIS website is still stuck on "Card was mailed to me", and I never got my tracking number. i thought I'll wait few more days until I get it, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

Update in case someone needs it: 
a week before the interview I called USCIS and was able to speak to a Tier 2 agent. 
Minors of any age can be brought to the interview if part of the family.
I read a lot of (removed) hit on the web about the agent being pissed off by a toddler or whatever age. 
It's all paranoia: you can bring your kid to the interview, he/she is part of the process, no reason to worry.
The atmosphere at USCIS SF is very friendly and despite understanding the anxiety on this step I think if the marriage is bona fide then you shouldn't look on the web for help as I did.
 
GC approved in 8 minutes BTW  (with a great toddler sitting next to us).

We had our interview in Nashville yesterday, so this is how it went. We showed up at 8:50 to our 9:15 appointment and was given a number. They called two couples ahead of us that got there after us, so I started panicking that we missed our number or something. They split one couple up. But our number was finally called and our officer took us back to her office. She had notes written down from his file, so I think she went through everything. We swore in and I actually didn't know what to say so I had to let my husband say something first so I didn't look stupid lol. She confirmed some information in our paperwork and asked him all the yes/no questions. She looked at our birth certificates and marriage certificate but didn't ask for any copies. She then asked us
 
When we first met
Describe our relationship progression
When did we start talking about marriage
Describe the proposal 
Describe the wedding 
Who all we had from our family there 
What our most cherished moment was from the wedding
Any trips we've been on since he's moved here
 
Then she told us to give her any proof of relationship we had. We only had a bunch of photos and our car insurance letter since he doesn't have a SSN and my small town requires that for everything and we live with my mom so everything is in her name (which we explained to her). Then she asked us if we had any questions and I gave her a copy of the IRS transcript for my joint sponsor (because I only sent in the H&R block version since I didn't know you could print it directly from their website). She then said we'd hear the decision in 2-3 weeks but everything looked good from her end. Was in and out in less than an hour. Kinda bummed we didn't get the approval at the interview but we hope to hear something soon. 

Don’t quit.  Vote.

I got my valentine gift in a pleasant way, my EAD arrived yesterday and today my status changed to ,about to be scheduled.
