I got my GC interview scheduled in CT despite USCIS having change of address of CA. Should I fly down there and get this done or can USCIS change it to CA?

Could you please help what questions I might be asked ? I'm getting my medicals done now.

NBC is not a field office, it is a clearing house before your file is sent to field office.  You are waiting in line when it is in Lee Summit.  Regardless of when you filed I-485 and asked it to be held, you start date is not until when NBC received your file from Vermont.  NBC will go through your file and check what you need and send you an RFE.  They will also send you the interview letter when they receive it from field office.  

Thanks. Would they take their sweet time to check before issuing RFE ? Any way to speed up this ?

I see. It's not unusual for WAVA and asylum cases to take years.

In your situation, if your case is strong, you can sue USCIS (writ of mandamus).

Hire a lawyer who's capable of doing it.

since case transferred to field office should i be suing uscis nbc missouri  not vermont ?

Do you have any valid reason for expediting? Or is it just a desire to get it reviewed quicker? If the latter, many people on this forum have the same wish.

i filed 485 & 360 together in 2018, so its too late now. i cant wait any more

Do not send anything until you get RFE or Interview letter.  Timeframe varies according to your field office.

Does USCIS update the status on I-485 when they send RFE for medicals ? or should i continue to check my mailbox carefully? I dont want to miss it.

I received 693 deficiency notice, should I get Medicals done ahead of RFE or wait for it?

Also not sure if it would be rfe or interview. 
Typically how long it takes to get rfe for Medicals / interview after receiving deficiency notice ?

appreciate sharing your knowledge 

My i-485 status shows fingerprints applied, what will happen next ?when would i get rfe for medicals? Can someone explain the process until i get GC in my hands?

I applied for adjustment of status in March. 
and I’m abt done with school and need to take my NCLEX so I told the congressman’s office. They sent her an email saying that’s not enough prove that I’m in distress and I could send a letter to the director of my field office if I have other issues. 
   Yesterday my lawyer called saying he got a letter for interview and it was sent out same day they told the congressman’s office that they couldn’t rush my case when others have been waiting. 
 

So I don’t know what changed their minds after they sent the email saying I had to wait cuz others are before me. I don’t know what happened. And they only gave me 2 weeks to prepare. 

when did your vawa approve ?

Hello everyone. 
congratulations to all the approvals . God is amazing. 
 
i finally got a letter for my interview. They only gave me 2 weeks to prepare, and get medical and all that. I’m so nervous. 
mom hoping they don’t ask me questions abt vawa. Makes me hurt all over again. 
 It states on the letter that the interview will be video taped is that normal? 
 

How long after vawa approval did you get interview ? you should not worry about video taped or audio taped, be prepared well

Hey guys,

 

finally my i485 has been approved. Local office received my medical exams in July and today I received the approval notification. No interview.

 

thank you all for the support and for the help during all these years. I hope your cases will be approved soon.

 

I can’t wait to get my green card in my hands. The situation with my ex wife was not easy but God always was with me,

 

good luck to every one.

 

Dany.

Anywhere from 2 months to two years depending on field office and security checks. Average is 6-12 months that I saw on forum. Filing a mandamus helps usually. @RKE filed and successfully got expedited. Costs 4-5k to file mandamus writ and your i485 has to be out of normal processing time. 

For Brooklyn it shows 29 months , what I am not clear is 29 months from the time you applied for I-485 (or ) 29 months from the time you were approved for I-360 ?

Thank you! I see your time line, it took 17 months for you to get RFE, did you file mandamus at last ?

Mailed to both just now, as instructed, captain. Fingers crossed. 

how long did it take to schedule an intw after your i-360 approval?

how long it takes to schedule an interview after I-360 approval ? How can one expedite this process?

Hello fam, 

 My attorney just shocked me with news of an RFE  that was due on July 1. I have one question - is it over for my VAWA application (been waiting since Feb 2020)?

Can you share what information uscis is asking in the RFE ?If you respond well, it be done case..

Can you get student loans while waiting for I-360 Approval and working with EAD? if so what agencies should I contact? what is the max limit on student loans can i get ?

Did you try to contact your congressperson to contact USCIS regarding the status and process of you i360?

Yes I did, did not receive any response yet.

I'm still waiting for my I-360 decision since 3years + and I have EAD valid for another year. I'm planning to file mandamus writ to force USCIS to make a decision on my case.  Per saying " Expect the best , be prepared for the worst". I would like to see what options I have to challenge USCIS decision, if it issues denial, in the court ? Any experts please suggest on this.  Will I be able to keep EAD if I go to federal court to challenge USCIS decision of denial?Thank you!

It does, but 4 years waiting is way too long. Recently people who filed in 2019 or even 2020 have been approved.

I see, Thanks for the headsup. I just filled paper work with my senator and sent him request. Appreciate your guidance.

What do you mean to bother USCIS? It's their responsibility to process your case in a timely manner. Your case is taking 4 years and max time for i360 is 31 months. If I were you I would contact a senator. 

okay thanks, i will reach out my senator this week. I answered RFE last year, ever since no response from USCIS. Is covid not delaying cases ?

7 hours ago, Rosa Garcia said:

Why didn't you reach out to the senator? Have you contacted Ombudsman? 

Your case is long overdue!

I have valid EAD until next year, so I decided not to bother USCIS wth senator requests. Any idea if processing taking this long ? should i be worried?

hi everyone, 

 

I am a September 2018 filer (I-360 and I-485). My I-360 is still pending and going through background checks.

 

Today I received an online update on my I-360 case saying "Expedite Request Denied". I am confused because I didn't request them to expedite my case. Every 2-3 months my congressman is sending them inquiries and the most recent one was sent on Feb 22nd. 

 

Has anyone else experienced such thing? What could that be?

 

Thank you!

 

I am oct 2018, still waiting as well. I ve not done any inquiry yet by senator. Did you get any RFE 

I submitted response to first RFE in May, have not heard anything so far yet. what would you do if you were me ?

Its been 3 years 1 month since applied.
