    No, since I am in administratively closed removal proceedings and had DACA I didn't file I-485. I didn't want to poke that bear just yet since if I'd get denied and I could just stay under the radar pretty much indefinitely with admin closed proceedings.
     
    Speaking of which getting a termination on the removal proceedings is the next item on the agenda.
    Yeah.

    Hey Everyone!

    I am just adding my timeline for reference. I am a NY Filer. 
    March 2018 Concurrently I130, I131,I765,I485
    July 13, 2018 I filed I360 and requested they hold I485 VSC  
    August 6, 2018 I got Prima Facie
    June 1, 2019 I received my first EAD based on I765 (C09) filed in March 2018 (1 year and 3 months) after a long and stressful wait and also right after I contacted ombudsman’s office for help. 
    Renewed Prima Facie November 2019 ( I requested the renewal). ALSO got lost at the post office but they found it, Thank God!
    January 2020 RFE for police clearance from home country.
    February 2020 Submit I765 (C09) renewal 
    February 2020 RFE submitted & received by USCIS
    April 2, 2020 I360 (C31) New card produced & received (Almost got lost due to Covid)
    June 1, 2020 I765 (C09) being produced June 5 received card.
    July 2, 2020 I-360 changed to “Case was Approved”
    July 2020 Divorce finalized 
    Everything went silent after that no I485 transfer notice or RFE. 
    August 2020 Contacted ombudsman office they had a backlog so no immediate response like usual. 
    September 2020 Contacted Congressman no help as usual. 
    September 14, 2020 Contacted Senator Kristen Gillibrand (thanks @stillwinning) filled out forms and everything send it back to her office September 24, 2020
    September 28, 2020 Finally got a email from ombudsman office saying a mail was sent to my lawyers office with interview date 🙌🏾 ( Ofcourse he wanted more money and he didn’t even receive it 🙄)
    Interview Date October 26, 2020 (Went to the interview by myself after I prayed about it)
    Card mail to me October 28, 2020
     
    The crazy thing is a found out I was pregnant with my first child a few days before I did my medical and I was so worried because I couldn’t get my shots. But the dr put the reason I couldn’t get them and I asked the interviewer if everything was okay she looked at what the dr wrote and said it was fine. She never once asked me about my abuse. She asked me for medical, passport, ID, and divorce decree which I gave her. She updated my address because they still had the wrong address on file. She asked me yes or no question and asked me if I had any questions for her. At the end of the interview she said she had to review it and it will take approximately 120 days. And look at God... 2 days later. 
     
    I didn’t have any psychological evaluation or a police report of abuse because I was afraid to call the police. He threatened to kill me if I did. But I was smart, I sent in order of protection I tried to service him but couldn’t find him. I sent multiple text threads with him threatening me, calling me name, talking about how he’s tapped my phone, mentioning abuse, it was all so awful and honestly I believe those messages were what got me my approval. I sent in a latter from the DV organization I go for counseling, joint lease, joint bank account, weeding ring purchased in his name, flight itinerary of trips we took together, reservations itinerary of hotels we stayed together, receipts of things he bought that tied back to what I wrote in my affidavit letter, pictures of when he moved all of our furnitures from our house, during and after, pictures of my personal belongings that he left in the apartment laundry room, pictures of when we were happy together, I had no pictures of physical abuse, pictures of his ID and birth certificate because I kept all documents, copy of all the other bills in the house, 3 affidavit from friends and a 7 page affidavit from myself that I cried writing. I’ve been through hell and back but I never gave up I kept on fighting even when I was almost homeless, I found people that genuinely cared and helped me. I prayed and prayed and prayed some more, I can’t count how many times I’ve started praying and I cried until the words can’t come out. For those still going through it, don’t give up your victory is coming. If I can do it you can do it too, just fight! I now have my own apartment, I bought my car this year, I have a job which allows me to work from home for the rest of the year, I’m in a good relationship now, I’m pregnant with my first child at 31 and super excited. My journey as just began. 2 years ago if someone told me I would be where I am right now I would tell me they are lying. 
     
    Sorry for the long message I pray everyone will be victorious in their endeavors.

    Hi everyone once again,
     
    I got good news this time, I am finally scheduled for the interview. It will take place in 20 days.
    As far as my attorney told me, my lawyer had a chance to talk to an IO about my case and received the interview notice right away.
     
    Here is my timeline;
    I am a Queens, Ny filer; PD: April 2017,
    Received RFE in August 2018,
    Case was approved on January 2019
    Since then I've been waiting until today and finally got scheduled.
     
    IO requested 4 things from my lawyer that they need for the interview as;
    1-) completed medical exam,
    2-) 2019 tax return,
    3-) most recent pay stub, w-2 form etc,
    4-) disposition for my past arrest (it was a false arrest indeed and released in 2 hours & could've sued NYPD but didn't bother)
     
    So that's all for now, I did the flu shot today and possibly do the remaining medicals tomorrow to get started.
     
    Thank you all for your help, answers, and motivation as well. God bless you all. Good luck to all especially NY filers for the long wait times, don't lose your hope and give up...
     
    Be safe everyone, wish you all fast approvals.

    I just got my greencard delivered. Cried a little. It took some years out of my life but I guess it’s time to leave the past in the past and move forward. 😊
     
    Permanent resident card for 10 years. It says category IB6, if you google what that means you are a self petitioner under VAWA. I wish it wasn’t so obvious on my card but I guess whatever
     
    I wish everyone lots of patience and good luck. I’m still processing its reality... I’m not an illegal now?... I can go see my family whenever I want? I don’t have to avoid conversations with people worrying what if they ask me this or that? Etc etc
     
    Lots of thanks to everyone who answered my questions here 🙏🎈😊❤️

    Did you try the e-request as mentioned on the update? Also this happened to my c31 EAD the mailman marked it returned and I had exactly the same notice you have but I tried to intercept at the post office made calls and when I went back to my OLD address, there it was in the mailbox. But up to this point the update I see online on the uscis website is still like that what ur showing. Also try to call the post office who services your lawyer's address they may still have it as it is recent and u may get lucky. Some people will be helpful to trace it for you. Just tell them the urgency of the situation.

I sent multiple text threads with him threatening me, calling me name, talking about how he’s tapped my phone, mentioning abuse, it was all so awful and honestly I believe those messages were what got me my approval. I sent in a latter from the DV organization I go for counseling, joint lease, joint bank account, weeding ring purchased in his name, flight itinerary of trips we took together, reservations itinerary of hotels we stayed together, receipts of things he bought that tied back to what I wrote in my affidavit letter, pictures of when he moved all of our furnitures from our house, during and after, pictures of my personal belongings that he left in the apartment laundry room, pictures of when we were happy together, I had no pictures of physical abuse, pictures of his ID and birth certificate because I kept all documents, copy of all the other bills in the house, 3 affidavit from friends and a 7 page affidavit from myself that I cried writing. I’ve been through hell and back but I never gave up I kept on fighting even when I was almost homeless, I found people that genuinely cared and helped me. I prayed and prayed and prayed some more, I can’t count how many times I’ve started praying and I cried until the words can’t come out. For those still going through it, don’t give up your victory is coming. If I can do it you can do it too, just fight! I now have my own apartment, I bought my car this year, I have a job which allows me to work from home for the rest of the year, I’m in a good relationship now, I’m pregnant with my first child at 31 and super excited. My journey as just began. 2 years ago if someone told me I would be where I am right now I would tell me they are lying. 
     
    Sorry for the long message I pray everyone will be victorious in their endeavors.

    Hey Everyone!  
    Glory be to God!! God is good all the time and all the time God is God! 
    I am just adding my timeline for reference. I am a NY Filer. 
    March 2018 Concurrently I130, I131,I765,I485
    July 13, 2018 I filed I360 and requested they hold I485 VSC  
    August 6, 2018 I got Prima Facie
    June 1, 2019 I received my first EAD based on I765 (C09) filed in March 2018 (1 year and 3 months) after a long and stressful wait and also right after I contacted ombudsman’s office for help. 
    Renewed Prima Facie November 2019 ( I requested the renewal). ALSO got lost at the post office but they found it, Thank God!
    January 2020 RFE for police clearance from home country.
    February 2020 Submit I765 (C09) renewal 
    February 2020 RFE submitted & received by USCIS
    April 2, 2020 I360 (C31) New card produced & received (Almost got lost due to Covid)
    June 1, 2020 I765 (C09) being produced June 5 received card.
    July 2, 2020 I-360 changed to “Case was Approved”
    July 2020 Divorce finalized 
    Everything went silent after that no I485 transfer notice or RFE. 
    August 2020 Contacted ombudsman office they had a backlog so no immediate response like usual. 
    September 2020 Contacted Congressman no help as usual. 
    September 14, 2020 Contacted Senator Kristen Gillibrand (thanks @stillwinning) filled out forms and everything send it back to her office September 24, 2020
    September 28, 2020 Finally got a email from ombudsman office saying a mail was sent to my lawyers office with interview date 🙌🏾 ( Ofcourse he wanted more money and he didn’t even receive it 🙄)
    Interview Date October 26, 2020 (Went to the interview by myself after I prayed about it)
    Card mail to me October 28, 2020
     
    The crazy thing is a found out I was pregnant with my first child a few days before I did my medical and I was so worried because I couldn’t get my shots. But the dr put the reason I couldn’t get them and I asked the interviewer if everything was okay she looked at what the dr wrote and said it was fine. She never once asked me about my abuse. She asked me for medical, passport, ID, and divorce decree which I gave her. She updated my address because they still had the wrong address on file. She asked me yes or no question and asked me if I had any questions for her. At the end of the interview she said she had to review it and it will take approximately 120 days. And look at God... 2 days later.
