I believe that you can file for citizenship under the 3-year rule if you’ve been a permanent resident for that time even if your GC still has the conditions on it and you’ve applied for the ROC. 

What is ROC ?

February 2024 (anniversary of your LPR status) minus 90 days.

 

So somewhere in November 2023. When you are within 90 days of being LPR for 3 years.

Thanks

Thank you! The process was way smoother than I expected. The oath ceremony is scheduled exactly one month from my interview date. They didn’t schedule it on the spot because they needed to approve my I-751 first (took 2 days) 

hi, @eelimob am new here and I need to understand why your green card is under process but file for citizenship?

thanks

 I got my green card in February 2021 and am under 3 years rule never travel  what is the earliest I can apply for citizenship ?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.  A lot of folks here have been through the same.  You're not alone.    Some strengths that you have are:

   1.  Faith/prayer

   2.  Group support here

   3.  Semiweekly jokes here

Yes the magic jokes

Hi guys….

my i-360 finally was approved!

It has been indescribably difficult in many aspects in life…

At least, this approval notice means a lot for me to heal my soul.. Somebody really listens to my story and acknowledges all the heartbreaking moments….

As many of you, I didn’t have any support when I was in the abusive situation.. I felt like I was alone.. Here I am today still alive and try my best to live fully as much as I can with my wounded heart. If there is any progress for i-485, I will keep posting.

🙏🏻 for all of us who are waiting for the news. You are not alone..!

 

I-360, i-485 filed in October 2019

3 PF

Ead c31 seemed to be approved on 8/31 

i-360 approved 10/13/2021

 

 

Congratulations 🗽🇺🇸

Good morning family, 

 

 

My I-485 has finally been approved. I’ve shared most times my worries and you were really there  every one of you  Fedaniela, Balo,Pinkrlion,  our lawyer Sandra ❤️❤️, there are so many names but I’m not sure I remember everyone. I was lucky I did not  have any interview.  You all gave me the courage to apply for my I-360.I hit rock bottom then  but you gave me so much hope. Although I did not comment a lot but I read through every thread and I held onto all the jokes, suggestions, advices. Because of my situation I did not have friends or let’s just say I didn’t want to interact with others . Anyways It took me so long comment here. But I appreciate you all . I still can’t believe it but it’s actually happening and I don’t know what to do. I’m so shocked.. I had to check the case status online a couple of time just to be sure 😅🤣. I waited for so long and God knows the wait time in NYC is smth… Thank you all !

Congratulations 🗽🇺🇸

Hi Community,

My I-485 got approved today without interview and I wanted to thank all of you who gave me pieces of advise and information during this VAWA journey.

I wanted to share my timeline and advise for those who currently is surfing through here and looking for info:

 

August 25, 2018 - US Entry on a K-1 Visa

September 14, 2018 - Marriage

September 28, 2018 - I-485 Application (together with EAD+AP)

October 2, 2018 - NOA 1 I-485 (biometrics took place 3 weeks later)

January 2019 - EAP+AP approved

April 2019 - Divorce

April 24, 2019 - I-360 Application (applied with a lawyer, but moving forward acted on my own without lawyer's help)

September 2019 - Sent in more evidence on my own by reading this forum (I think my lawyer didn't include those docs on purpose in order to get RFE and charge me more). Please note that I sent in more evidence on my own without receiving a request for it twice total (once divorce paperwok and another time police clearances and my birth certificate).

3 times extended EAD + AP while waiting for I360 decision based on still pending I485.

May 24, 2021 - I360 Case Was Approved

August 2021 - I485 Request for updated medicals (my original medicals expired 1 months prior to this request)

September 27, 2021 - I485 Approval (Card being Produced status)

 

To all of you who is reading - I think very important for you to know that you are allowed to submit evidence for your I360 case (if you think your case is missing something) on your own without a lawyer. I only used an attorney in the first place because I didn't know about VAWA at all and I needed urgent help. But after reading this forum even the attorney I worked with was telling me that I know too much and I could do it on my own, etc. After I read the case she prepared I found that there were multiple mistakes made with names of people, facts, dates etc etc (I had to send another letter to Vermont to just correct her mistakes) and also some docs needed for this case were missing, which I think my attorney didn't put there on purpose. Those docs are required for a decision on I360 for sure. So by not including it my attorney planned to get an RFE...and her contract with me would oblige me for another $1000 to reply to an RFE. So when I started reading this forum I took this under my complete control and figured that my attorney is acting against my best interest. Another GREAT piece to this story is that my attorney assistant once called me and said that the attorney is not honest and that she purposely is not doing things I asked her to do, purposely missed docs, purposely was not even providing me the copy of my case for a few weeks...and her assistant actually recommended me to report her to the board of attorneys which I didn't do yet, but I will now that my cases are all done and I do not need her anymore for anything at all. But yeah people please be careful with attorneys please - mine was basically trying to suck the moneys out without providing the best service possible.

Luckily for me from the beginning I refused to add my attorney to my I485 case and once I360 was approved we kind of are done already.

 

Summary: I485 took 3 years exactly and I360 took 2 years and 1 month.

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting, you will get there soon!

 

Congratulations 🗽🇺🇸

Hi everyone 

I am a silent reader and have been suffering in many ways like everyone here. It’s been so tiring, frustrating to wait and see no update after the case was received..

 

I received the notification today “new card is being produced” which I assume it’s the signal of the approval of my case. Hope I can see the official approval notice soon🙏🏻.

I’m sharing my timeline. 
 

I filed i-360, i-485 on October 3rd 2019.

(I don’t have PD since the ex was a US citizen)

3 PF.

8/31/2021 new card is being produced.

 

May all stay healthy.

I already filed for a new i485 & i765 with my VAWA. But I’m unable to work now because my old EAD expired. My old case still says reopened from Jan 2020 - (this is for the i130 & i485 filed initially)
 

unfortunately when I applied for the EAD renewal based on the old i130 & i485 it got denied and the notice was sent to my old address so I don’t even know why it was denied and I can’t even change my address due to my VAWA, I can’t risk my husband finding out about anything.
 

The case is still open, I really don’t know why I would get denied 😔 I really need to work before I become homeless. 

If you have already filed new forms with your vawa application then you should focus on the new ones and forget about the one that is already being denied, I will suggest you contact your congressman to help you inquire on your new EAD application

Thank you 🙏🏾 I don’t think I was in removal proceedings. I got a notice that said my i485 & i130 was denied and a notice to leave the country within 33days or so. My lawyer then filed an appeal at the time and I got another notice that said case was reopened and that was it. Do you think I can still apply for EAD based on that application that was reopened? 

Yes if your case is reopened you can apply for a new EAD but you don’t know how long is gonna stay open for your EAD card to be approve, why don’t you file a new I-485 and I-765  forms and get out of that mess

I was sure this moment would never happen for me but… a notification with “new card is being produced” was sent tonight!! After 1004 days my Vawa was approved without any RFE. Applied on November 19 2018. Exactly 33 months. 
im so happy and relieved. 
now waiting for approval notice and a new card. Hope these next steps would be faster than ever! 

Congratulations 🗽🇺🇸
