Technically they are not supposed to and i have not heard they asked anyone for the abuse related documents. Once your local field office gets your file from vermont they already have all the documents on that file that you submitted already.  

filed I-360 & I- 485 on 03/28/2019 fingerprinted on 08/29/2019 Divorced my wife on 12/09/2019 Filed a Mandamus writ on 05/28/2022 I-360 approved on 06/16/2022 I-485 Interview on 08/05/2022 and approved same day.     This forum gave me hope and kept me believing that my turn to celebrate shall surely come sooner than later. It was this forum I learnt about the Mandamus writ. Thank you all for your encouragement, the insight and prayers. For those applicants who are still patiently waiting, don't ever give up, you'll celebrate at the end. Above all to God be all the glory, Amen!!      

Congratulation.
This is a prime example for those who are hopeless. Just never give up. fight till the end.

Today my I-485 status changed to "New Card Being Produced"!!!
 
I'm still in shock, I wanted to scream and jump and cry and laugh, all at the same time.
I still can't believe it. I'm so used to refreshing my tracker app every day, multiple times a day, for the past 5 years that I caught myself doing it again now.
 
I just wanted to thank you all so much for the support. I'm not the most active member of this forum but I've been following it for some time now and just wanted to thank everyone who shared their personal stories and experiences here. Every single one of you were extremely important to me and I found strength in all your words when I had none left. 
 
And for everyone who's reading this post and still waiting - You came a long way already, just by being here. You are SO brave and SO strong. I know how hard this wait is but your journey is coming to an end soon!!! If anyone needs to chat, my inbox is open, always.

Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Got my GC!!
Thank you to this great community for your support along the way...
Will write up a timeline soon but quickly wanted to share my good news with the group 😊

God is GREAT. Thank you god…🗽🗽🗽🗽Patience..Patience.. Patience.. Finally guys I got my GC in hand. Can’t explain the feeling that finally it’s over. 
PD- Dec 2019 Concurrent filing. 3 Prima facie. No RFE. Interview was good and Thankfully my lawyer came with me so that helped me a lot. My GC was approved same day after interview. God is Great. Thank you virtual family and hope everyone gets GC in this forum. I wish everyone’s dream come true.. God is great🗽🗽🗽🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Omg everyone! 
I'm exploding with anxiety right now.
 
On July 11th, my lawyer received an RFE for my I-693. I just dropped it off at his office. He personally has never seen an interview being waived but as far as I'm seeing here, that seems to be the case 😳
 
I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I'm so happy already that my case is being moved!! 
 
Anyone from Brooklyn, NY going/went through the same situation? How long did it take for you to have an update?

Hello everyone! Finally I have got approved and I should receive my green card soon!🤗🤗
I'm still married and question is how can I get divorce? Any experience like that?
Of course I cannot go to her and say "hey, let's get divorce"
We got married in 2015 and since January 2016 I didn't see her.

Hi All,
 
First of all I wanted to thank you all so much for keeping me sane! For giving me strength reading your stories throughout the years and so much knowledge to deal with my case, which helped me correct my own lawyer.
 
My advise is be your own lawyer as well, even though you have hired one. Do the research, check what the lawyer has filed/written on your behalf etc.
 
Unfortunately my lawyer messed up my case so badly that she put even wrong dates on my case on top of everything and I had to deal with a very brutal prima fascia, to the point of almost loosing the case.
In addition, I had to wait after my divorce was finalized to apply for VAWA (orders from my lawyer) when the law states you can apply even when you are still married with the abusive spouse.
She also told me to never travel with a pending VAWA because it's considered as abandoning the case. I listened to her and lost so much through the years, including my mom almost dying for weeks in the hospital.
I could go on and on, but the lesson I learnt from you all is never give up and better days will come.
 
Please see below my timeline.
Filed in New York
June 2019 Filed I360 & I 485

Yes sista! Its still 2 years 9 months. I am in the same boat as you. Hopefully we file for citizenship soon and complete this journey successfully:)

Guess what? Guess what family????? I’m a greencard holder! 
I can’t stand the happiness. I’m levitating! 
 
Thank you for all the support! 
 
November 2018 
VAWA approved August 2021 
Green card approved April 2022

This is for those who are waiting for EAD approval.
I applied for EAD renewal on October 2021. I did not get my receipts until i reached out to my senator and got the receipts after 70 days. 
 
Today i got new card being produced message after 225 days. 
 
New Card Is Being Produced
On May 25, 2022, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number EAC***********, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Yeah, that's right @shiva32
By following this thread thoroughly, I realized that generally,  the 4-5 months are those who had their I-485 on HOLD and their cases outside of normal processing time in their local offices. 
The 9-12 months are those who filed concurrently the I-485  and the I-360 and their cases where not outside of normal processing time in their local offices. 
Those much longer are those who submitted their I-485 after vawa approval or more later after their form I-360 submission. 

You are doing great tracking the components in the forum. Best case scenario I have seen from vawa approval to green card in hand timeline is 4-5 months. Average is 9-12 months. Some take much longer than average. 

Finally!!! New card is being produced
 
Hi guys so my vawa finally got approved today May 20th. it was received on March 9th,2020. 4 prima facies and no rfe at all. All my praises to the Most High God. I always said I would come give my testimony and give someone hope. please hang in there because it’s coming for you too.

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. 
 

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!!
 

Hello Family, I hope everyone is doing well.
The good news finally arrived. 
i filled vawa in May 2019, the case was approved on May 3rd, 2022 and received the approval today.
my i-485 is pending since 2019, it only shows the finger prints applied as of January 29, 2020.
