God is a good God

Looks like since Trump became president, we hardly hear about i360 approvals, this platform is so much quieter now

Thank you

Thank you

Hello VJ family @Demise @Sandra G.did file expedite request for my i290B, I485 and i601 with senator office, it was denied. What does it mean a duplicate of was sent with a denial letter while i290 b and i601 are pending? Thank you for your letter inquiring about the case status of ***** regarding a request for expedited processing for Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. During Removal Proceedings, your constituent was instructed by the court to file their application with the Texas Service Center (TSC) and to provide the court with a copy of the receipt notice (Form I-797). Such applications are filed at the Service Center for data entry purposes only, and so that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can later capture biometric information. The Service Center has no jurisdiction over these applications. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicate that your constituent's Form I-485 was denied by the Kansas City Field Office on March 23, 2023, with the denial notice mailed to your constituent and the attorney on record on March 28, 2023. * On May 9, 2025, a duplicate notice was mailed to the address on record: ******. As a courtesy, a copy of the denial is attached. RE: IOE****** (Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion) USCIS records indicate that your constituent's Form I-290B is assigned to an officer at the ****FIELD OFFICE. RE: EAC****(Form I-601, APPLICATION FOR WAIVER OF GROUNDS OF INADMISSIBILITY) USCIS records indicate your constituent's Form I-601 was recently transferred to the TEXAS SERVICE CENTER (TSC/SSC). An email has been sent to the unit asking if the case may be placed with an officer. Your constituent did not submit corroborating evidence to support their statement made in the Privacy Release. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is unable to make a determination based on what has been provided. The expedite criteria is available on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov/forms/expedite-criteria. Therefore, the request for expedite processing is not granted at this time. Although your constituent's request for expedited processing cannot be granted at this time, USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in a timely manner and gives every applicant or petitioner full and fair consideration consistent with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. This closes your inquiry with USCIS. We hope this information is helpful. If we may be of further assistance, please let us know. Sincerely, Susan USCIS Service Center Congressional Liaison

Actually you can get married after your vawa is approved, even though your green card is pending. I remember asking the same question here.

Thank you, my new spouse is a USC. And she really makes good money, that’s my fear that it may work against my i601 hardship I filed. Yes i360 was approved in 2022. Yes I got a misrepresentation fraud on my i130, after filing i360 I got a notice of intent to deny because of that fraud. I submitted a bunch of proofs and i360 was approved 3 weeks after they received my RFE response . My lawyer concer was that my income combined to my new spouse income can work against my i601 hardship. She advised me to wait and remarry after a decision is made on my i485/i601 Thank you @Sandra G.

Hey family. Should I file a mandamus or not? I485 denied and file i290b motion to reconsider April 2023. Received RFE for i601 waiver since 2023 and responded RFE July 2023. Inquired in November 2024 through a senator, USCIS responded to senator « case pending, allow at least 180 days ». I want to remarry in September 2025, my concern is that if I remarry that may affect my pending I601 waiver and subsequently my i i485

How much you paid your lawyer to file mandamus? My case seems similar to yours. Got intent to deny on i360, responded and approved. I485 denied coz lawyer filed i601 to a wrong address. Filed i290B and got RFE FOR i601 , sent it last year April, tiii now no response. Contacted senator, USCIS said to be patient application pending and reach out to them again after 180 days

Congratulations, is your i360 approved or i485? Did you file your mandamus alone or with a lawyer ?

Thank you, let me send the senator office an email

Hello all, I contacted my senator regarding my i485 which was denied because of I didn’t properly file i601 waiver, and filed I i290b motion to reconsider with a properly filed i601 waiver. And this is the response, what should I do? « Thank you for your inquiry, dated October 25, 2024 on behalf of your constituent, ****my name***, regarding their pending form I-485 Permanent Residence/Adjust Status (Family). U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records indicate that ****my name****case is pending at this time. USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in a timely, fair, and efficient manner while also ensuring public safety, national security, and compliance with all relevant laws, regulations, and policies. While the processing steps for most applications or petitions are completed quickly, a small percentage of cases involve unresolved issues that may result in adjudication delays. For example, if our review reveals one or more questions that may impact an individual’s eligibility for a particular immigration benefit, further inquiry may be needed. The inquiry may include an additional interview, contact with another agency for updates or more comprehensive information, or some other action. We are unable to determine at this time when the review process for the Form I-485 Permanent Residence/Adjust Status (Family) will be completed. USCIS will issue a decision on ****my name***** application once certain issues are resolved. We are striving to resolve these issues as soon as possible. We understand that ****my name******may be frustrated by the progress of their case. However, USCIS must balance individual inconvenience against broader issues of public safety and national security. Please remember case status may be monitored online at https://egov.uscis.gov/. We respectfully request you allow at least 180 days from the date of this email before following up on the status of the case. If follow up is necessary, please send inquiries to us directly via our web portal at: https://www.uscis.gov/congress/congressional-web-portal/congressional-web-portal. Please make sure to select Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA) Office; Kansas City Field Office currently processing the case to avoid a delayed response. We hope this information is helpful. If we may be of further assistance, please let us know. Sincerely,

I was filing i765 myself without passing by my lawyer.

Yes I was in removal, yes pending I130 and filed i360 while i130 was pending. Then i130 denied for fraud, received NOID on i360 and submitted a bunch of proofs to justify the fraud and got i360 approved. Anyway you are free to do what you think is right. Here we are Sharing experiences and advice, not legal advice. Talk to your lawyer, however many lawyer don’t know these things we share here. My i485 got denied because the lawyer failed to properly submit i601 waiver

@Demiseis right, I did c9 ead too based on pending i485. My i485 was denied and filed i290b and after that I filed C9 ead and got it 3 days ago valid for 5 years. I do have another c31 renewal based on approved i360

@Demise is right. I just got my 5 years EAD (C9) based on pending i485 and I got another C31 (2 years based on approved vawa).

It makes sense now. Yes I filed i485 with Irving Texas. Your explanation makes much more sense now . Thank you

The i601 is stuck on case was received. The i485 status is showing case was transferred to another office having jurisdiction over your case since January 2024 and I received a letter from uscis Vermont confirming the transfer (I guess it went from local office to Vermont). when I made a request of « outside normal processing time» 3 months ago, received an email from the local office saying « decision will be made within 90 days». The 90 days expired with nothing from them. I made another request last week, received an email that my case went to AAO since April 27,2023 when they received my I290 April 14 2023. very confusing as you stated, how the local office telling me that my case went to AAO April 27 2023 when in January 2024 case was transferred to Vermont?

Hello guys. Is it a good idea to sue USCIS or file an expedite request for my i485? my i485 was denied, I filed i290b motion to reconsider April 2023, after I got RFE for I601 waiver that I submitted July 2023. looks like the I485 was reopened because I got C09 EAD after that and my I485 status says it was transferred to another office since January 2024(from local office to Vermont office ).

Hello guys. My i485 was denied because my lawyer didn’t properly submitted i601 waiver. We filed i290b motion to reconsider and received RFE of i601 waiver again. This time we file i601 waiver with the right office. i was expecting myi485 to be approved since we gave them i601 waiver they asked for. Now received that my case was sent to AAO office. I’m just exhausted with this case and don’t know what to do « Type of service requested: -- Outside Normal Processing Times The status of this service request is: Thank you for your inquiry, dated September 23, 2024, regarding your Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, filed after the denial of Form 1-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. We have confirmed that the appeal is currently pending adjudication with the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO). The AAO received the appeal on Form 1-290B on April 27, 2023. The AAO strives to complete its appellate review within 180 days from the time it receives a complete case record after the initial field review. Some cases may take longer than 180 days due to factors beyond the AAOs control. For example, additional documentation may be needed to complete the record, or the case may be more complex and require additional review. Be assured the AAO will adjudicate the appeal as quickly as possible giving the case full and fair consideration, consistent with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Once a decision is made, you will be notified.»

Ok thanks

Yes the local office sent an email

Hello guys, I called USCIS to file an outside of normal processing time request for my pending i290B motion to reconsider for my denied I485. My local office responded that they’ll make a decision for this case in 90 days since June 25th, in exactly 13 days the 90 day period will expire. Should I call USCIS again now to remind them that the 90 day period is expiring in 2 weeks without a decision or I wait until the last day and make another enquiry? If I make another enquiry , uscis will tell me to wait another 90 day again.

Uscis website says 3 years after residing in the USA as a green card holder

Does it mean if you enter the US 10 years ago and you are issued your green card today you can file citizenship right away? In this case your entry date was 10 years ago

I filed my outside normal processing time based on i290b. The online status showed like yours and USCIS sent me an email that I should expect a decision on my case within 3 months. That if I don’t receive a decision in 3 months I must contact the USCIS number again . Hope you received a decision
