What kind of violation ? If it’s clear I don’t think it’s gonna be an issue otherwise you won’t get ur greencard. 

Wow congratulations!🍾🎉🎈🎊 😊🥂

The information provided by the congressperson is not true.I doubt that USCIS said something like this.

Yee-HAAAAA!  
You need to stay around to upvote my dumb jokes, ma'am!  

Congratulations on your vawa approval.
 
Here is my timeline:
i-360 & i-485 on 10/3/2019

wish more approvals rain here!

Hello all, I am extremely grateful for all the ideas and support for my missing RFE situation. My ducking lawyer finally found the RFE today. It was delivered to her old firm, she changed her firm a year ago and never updated the address with USCIS. RFE is for medicals only, it was issued in ducking May 2022, three ducking months ago. Anyway I got medical exam done yesterday and will send the sealed packet when doc gives it to me on Friday or Monday. This group is worth its weight in platinum. I bow down to everyone who contributes and keeps this place alive and thriving. 

It is Sunday (barely, but it counts), and it's time for our stress-relieving, approval-evoking (if correlation = causation), eminently upvote-worthy Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:
=========================================================
THE REMARKABLE INDIAN
 
Many years ago, two cowboys came upon an American Indian lying on his stomach with his ear to the ground.
 
One of the cowboys said to the other, "You see that Indian?"
 
"Yeah," said the other cowboy.
 
"Look," said the first one, "he's listening to the ground.  He can hear things for miles in any direction."
 
Just then, the Indian looked up.  "Covered wagon," he said, "about two miles away.  Have two horses, one brown, one white.  Man, woman, child, household effects in wagon."
 
"Incredible!" said the second cowboy to his friend.  "This Indian knows how far away they are, how many horses, what color they are, who is in the wagon, and what is in the wagon.  Remarkable!"
 
The Indian looked up weakly and said, "They ran over me half an hour ago."
 

Yeah, it can happen. 
But it still exceptional.
I left one of those platform because I realized many people were lying concerning their cases submission dates. Making some filers to be more frustrated and feeling that Vermont was adjudicating cases ahead of older ones. 
Some where even having their WAWA adjudicated in less than 6 months. 
Most where simply fake data.
Majority of cases are no less than 18 months. 
Uscis is now adjudicating March 2020 wawa filers. 
So, the immigration officer has to defend himself before his supervisor why he has to adjudicate a May 2021filer as they are currently working on cases filed around March 2020.
Sometimes people lied about their real data entry. 
Most people were getting frustrated on that platform. So I left and remained on this visajourney  for being more efficient and very helpful.
 

This is my first time here. My i360 just got approved, but I have an i485 pending from my first application, which was submitted with my i130 in 2018. The i485 was placed in abeyance after my request during the interview then. I need to change my address now - can anyone guide me through the process? For a newly approved VAWA applicant, is the online change of address sufficient?  

Thank you Jesus, the almighty God!

It is Sunday, meaning that it's time for our Weekly Official VAWA-Thread joke:
=============================================
A BLONDE AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE
 
A blonde came to the doctor's office for a routine physical examination.
 
"Here," said the nurse, handing her a urine cup.  "The bathroom is over there on your left.  The doctor will see you in a few minutes."
 
A few minutes later, the blonde came out of the bathroom.  She handed an empty container back to the nurse.  With a relieved look on her face, she said, "Thank you!  But they had a toilet in there, so I didn't need this after all."
 

My guess is just that while it's not prohibited by the law, you probably want to avoid any questions related to the legitimacy of the marriage you're seeking VAWA through. It basically just saves you a headache in keeping the timeline straight.

Only thing that could harm you is getting married while the I-360 is still pending since that'll kill the petition. Past that point, you're free to do whatever. I don't see any reason why tying the knot when you're able to and just waiting to petition after you naturalize would raise any red flags.

Many Congratulations. God has plan for everyone. More goods news to follow soon. ✅😊👍🏻💪

It is Sunday, and time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke (presumed, if correlation = causation, to evoke approvals and positive progress in cases)*:
*this one is a bit on the edge
======================================
ANY MORE QUESTIONS?
 
A small American Indian boy approached his mother.  "Mother, how do Indian children get their names?" he asked.
 
"How?" said the mother.  "Indian children named for events at time of their birth.  Older brother named 'Soaring Eagle.'  Older sister named 'Rushing Stream.'  Any more questions, Two Dogs Mating?"
 

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 !
