Today I finally had my I-485 interview at Queens Field Office, NY. The officer was very nice and he only asked for my updated Medicals, my passport and a copy of my divorce decree. Then he told me that I should receive a letter in the mail in a week or two and right away my status changed to New Card is being produced.      
 

I’m so happy 😃 and thank you everyone for always be here helping each other. 🎉 🥳 🍾

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!

Hi guys I'm not a frequent person here on this site I just browse through occasionally. But I had to leave my info here so persons will feel encouraged and know that their time of approval is coming. Just stay strong and don't just depend on your lawyers to push your case for you because you are just another case that they have even though they maybe trying their best to assist you. Reach out to your representatives because they'll assist you. Just google your nearest representatives their information will come up! Wishing everyone a speedy approval.

Dear family!  

Today I have got my green card! I cannot describe what I feel after several years of stress, uncertainty about tomorrow, and fear. I feel as I can breathe again and live a full life. 

I want to say thank everyone who answered my questions and shared their information that was very useful. And thank this VAWA group, all this time I didn’t feel myself alone. 

I want to share my experience, maybe it can help somebody. 

My timeline: 

06/11/2018 – I-360, I-485 

02/24/2020 – received EAD-31 (by VAWA) 

03/27/2020 – I-485 transferred to another office 

11/27/2020 – My ex-attorney from Pennsylvania where we lived before got the invitation for the interview on 12/28/2020 only for my son (13 years old (although my new attorney changed my address 1,5 years ago when I moved to Georgia and got my C-9 card and C-31 through my new attorney). 

12/28/2020 – AOS interview in Pennsylvania 

I have never got a VAWA approval notice, any other letters from USCIS, any online updates, and didn’t get the invitation for the interview for myself. My son didn’t get an update online about his interview, so be careful when you move to the other place, be sure you can get your correspondence.  

I heard that possible we may not have the interview in the state where we don’t live anymore but I knew also that we have to come to the interview otherwise they will deny our cases. So, I decided to go where and at least to be sure that they finally change our address and after we will be waiting for our interviews in Georgia where we live now, and to figure out where is my documents and my VAWA approval letter. 

When we came to the interview with my son, I was so lucky because the officer said that she found my documents and we can both have the interview, and in spite hat are from the other state, decided to conduct our interview. We were without an attorney. Our interview was very smooth and easy. The officer was very kind and friendly. She asked for our medical forms (I-693), we did it two weeks before the interview. She asked my name, the names of my parents if I work and where, if I married, I said that I divorced and gave her my divorce decree,  my new address, how many times were I married, and about 6-7 yes/no questions. Asked my son just a couple of questions about his name, the name of me, and what grade he is studying. In the end, the officer said that everything looking good and asked which address to send our green cards to. She said usually it takes 2-4 weeks to update the information, make decisions, and send the green cards. I asked her when my VAWA case was approved because I have never got approval notice and she said in February (when I got my C-31 card). 

After the interview, my online status started to change (before this the last update was on 03/22/2020 that I-485 transferred to another office, no update about the interview) : 

12/28/2020 -  Your interview was completed , and your case must be reviewed 

12/29/2020 – We ordered your new card 

30/12/2020 – We approved your Form I-485 

31/12/2020 – We mailed your new card your Form I-485 (great present for New Year) 

01/06/2021 – The green card in my hands 
  

I wish good luck to everybody and a faster approval solution in your cases! 
 

Congratulations!

Good evening guys

 

Just want to share my happiness.

 

I started my vawa journey on Oct of 2018. 

They issued an RFE this year for good moral character and good faith marriage.  I was approved last aug 2020.

 

Had my AOS interview last Nov 18 of this year.

They just asked me basic demographic data and yes or no questions. It only lasted 15 mins. Ended up with my case being reviewed. Since I left in that room Im anxious to know what the result is.

Im obsessing with refreshing the web browser in my phone to uscis check status.

 

Today i Got this.

Thank you so much for all the help and suggestions.  This forum is truly God send.

 

Excited for this new chapter in my life.

 

Congratulations !!!

USCIS most of the time Do not inform if the case was transferred to your local office. NYC local offices are taking 14/19 months to schedule the AOS interview.

Hi @sandranj ! My case was transferred to NBC on 09/25/2018 with receipt number starting EAC .... and I haven’t got any CL notice yet. It’s been almost 27 month . I did congressman inquire last July 2020. I have got this response ““we’re unable to determine at this time when the review process of the application will be completed. USCIS will issue a decision on your constituent’s case as soon as possible.””And recently I did again congressman inquiry I haven’t got any response from NBC. I’m now highly depressed . What I should do now . Plz advise. Thanks!!!
