3PFs. No RFE. Applied without a lawyer. i485 has also been transferred so that wait has started but for now, I am grateful. Good luck to everyone still waiting. 
 

Prima facie determination is basically: "We glanced over your case, and what you submitted probably does check off all the boxes".
 
It's really only used for getting financial aid and some other federal benefits. Other than that it doesn't matter at all. If you get a PFD you can still get RFE'd. If you get a PFD Denial then they will definitely RFE you.
 
In my case, I got a PFD Denial, and I figured that I'll just respond to the actual RFE once it comes, it came, I responded, got approved.

CASE APPROVED!!!
more than 2 years of anguish and waiting, now my case has finally been approved. I am a Jan 2020 filer, no RFE, 3 PF, please do not lose hope!!! It's happening for all of us!!
 

Any other march 2020 filers here getting excited? looks like they are in feb 2020 now. so close. 

I renew my EAD on july 2021 and got my card on march 2022. 

Ah, finally a 2020 approval! Hopefully, it is not an anomaly and they have actually started looking at 2020 filers. Fingers crossed

Have officially hit the 24 month mark since I applied. 3 PFs thus far. No RFE. 
 
Hopefully, I will get approved in the next few months. 

Hi guys 
any 2020 cases updates ??

anyone know what  month/year they are now with vawa approvals? I have lost track 

Please consider submitting EAD renewal expedite request through your senator's office. It carries more weight that way and keeps USCIS on their toes. And chances of their losing or sitting on the expedite request become much lower. 

Oo.. a doctor in the making! In that case, my advice is worth $500, will send invoice later   Congratulations and best wishes for your residency journey. Also please tell everyone in your residency program that correlation = causation. I have it on authority of  @TBoneTX. 
 
Also USCIS issued recent guidance, adding healthcare workers to their expedite criteria. From USCIS website:
{ ALERT: If you are a healthcare worker
Who has a pending Employment Authorization Document (EAD) renewal application (Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization); and Whose EAD expires within 30 days or less, or has already expired: Call the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283 (TTY 800-767-1833) to request expedited processing of your EAD based on your circumstance as a healthcare worker with an EAD that will expire within 30 days or has already expired. To determine whether you are a qualifying healthcare worker, see this DHS advisory memorandum (“Healthcare / Public Health” section, pages 7-9) (PDF). Be prepared to provide evidence of your profession or current employment as a healthcare worker. If the evidence you provide is not sufficient, we may not accommodate your request for expedited processing of your Form I-765. Expedited processing means only that USCIS will process the application faster. }
 
Website for expedite request criteria: 
https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/how-to-make-an-expedite-request
 
I know of at least one healthcare worker who got her EAD expedited after USCIS issued this recent guidance.

prima facie three today. 6 months. hoping this is the last one i need. 

that is correct for the most part. hopefully we can hear good news very soon.

Came on its own for me but about 1-2 months late. 

Beginning to think they just forgot us 2020 filers 😩

hopefully you hear soon

Mine took like 27 months (August 2018 filer). Stay strong.

I just read many pages from the above link. I have nothing to offer in advice or knowledge and just wanted to say that all of you are very inspirational people and your experiences & tales are very touching. I look forward to seeing many approvals! 
 
I’m sure the process may feel like an uphill struggle but imagine the view when you get to the top. All the best
