Hi Sandra,

 

Thank you so much I really appreciate all your advice. 
 

You are absolutely right about it. The officer on the call to USCIS told me to go to the interview as well. My non profit organisation who helped me file it in 2019 is in the city where the Green card was filed so the officer was wondering if that is the case they gave me that field office.

 

Also, my I693 medical was never filed and I do not have the interview letter to know if they are asking me to bring it to the interview. What should I do about that?

 

What other documents will I need to bring to the interview? 
 

And, is it possible for you to help me represent at the interview? Is it advisable that an attorney should accompany the interviewee? 
 

Also, if @Risen firsttimer any other person has gone through the interview recently, can you please share your experiences? Like what kind of documents should I have? Do I need to bring the affidavit I filed with VAWA? Do they need the original Dissolution Decree? I still don’t have my interview letter from the non profit org so I am a little nervous about the documentation. 
 

Thank you so much for all your help!

 

BR!

You will need your medical very important, your divorce decree , make sure you go through your form 1-485 for you to remember all you put down. They wont ask you about vawa the focus is on 1-485 , if you have evidence of your previous marriage you can arrange them and keep it aside in a case officer ask for it, though I was not ask about previous marriage at all.

Congratulations!! 

What do you mean by 3 questions about “security”? Can you elaborate? 

Those question are under General Eligibility and inadmissible ground on form 1-485 I think from page 11-16 but I was only 3 of those questions.

So, I have my interview coming up at USCIS. Any idea what questions they will ask, I know they're really only supposed to go over the yes/no questions but I rather know of any curveballs they might throw.

 

I did hire a lawyer to interview prep me and go there in person with me, but you know, definitely anxious about it all since getting denied right on the finish line would be awful.

I was feeling thesame way few days ago, but it was pretty easy.  I was not asked about previous marriage or abuse. officer only asked about security threat questions, updated my old 1-485. I  have seen alot of people saying same thing about vawa interview. The interview only took 15min.. make sure you have all the documents related to your immigration journey with you, you may need it , divorce decree if any and medical, you will be okay.

Vawa got approved online, received a prima facie instead of approval notice. It's been 3 months now, still not approval notice, and no C31 EAD. What are my options? is this normal? I-360 filed in 2021. 

Can you contact your Congress person maybe they can make enquiries about the issue. Those officers are prone to error. I disnt recieve any interview letter in my name but 3 letters were address to my minor child with misspelled name.

Thank you.

@Sandra G. I requested for titer two but they wont allow mallthey asked me to write Vermont.  I already contacted my Congress person but she said she will have to wait for 3 months before she can make any enquiry about my case. 

@balo101 

@Sandra G. I went to my old address tonight and I got to know that I hot some letters two weeks ago from immigration but they sent it back USPS. Am in confused situation now, have cried my eye out, I dont know where to go from here. I haven't recieve any letter from this place for the past 3 years now, I dont know why they will send my interview letter there. I went to the field office they wont allow me in. 

You all should help me please, i ha e not recieve my interview letter in mail. I think they sent it to my old address. Have recieve all other letter in the new address I gave to USCIS but I dont know why this most important mail of it all will be mail to the old address. my Congress person told me she cant help me  because they told her not to until after 3 month before she can contact them again about my case. Have been to my old address but the person living there didn't open door,  maybe not at home. Emman couldnt give me any information because of vawa and same with info pass I made. I need suggestion , I dont want to start all over again.

hello Family,

Its been almost 10 months since my vawa got approved and since then no update on my i-485,  I tried reaching out to  Congressperson  but of no help only response i got is some cases take time. Is this usual, and  what should I do, I am getting anxious hearing nothing about it. 

It all depends on the field office and the workload they have.  I think you are close. It took mine 13months before they schedule me for an interview.  You will get there soon.

Happy Sunday fam. How long does it take to get an interview notice after getting the update online? do I get up to 4 weeks to go to the interview after the update? I dont want to miss my interview date. I couldn't get any information about it through infopass they asked me to write Vermont center and Emman said it doesn't have any information regarding my case.

Hey guys. It's more than a week I got update about interview,have not recieve the letter in mail. How long does it take to get mail these days? My local office is 15min drive to my house. 

@Sandra G. Thank you.

you can hire a lawyer if you wish to have one. However, if i were you i schedule an appointment to field office to get the update on my i-485. I would hold on to medical for now since first one is wasted. 

Am waiting for the notice sent to me to know the date for my interview. They already schedule me for an interview, I got the update this morning. 

Good day fam! Am excited and thesame time feeling neevous.

My vawa was approved a year and 2 months ago... been waiting for update but I got none till this morning. I had 3 update at the same time on my pending 1485 first says interview cancel, another one says ready to schedule and the third says interview schedule.

Am happy I got an update, my Congress person had made enquiries about my case. 

 Now, I did my medical almost a year now which I know is wated. my question  is  as follow

can I go ahead and schedule another medical? 

Do I need a lawyer to follow me, though I filled myself with help of the group. ( i think my ex wrote some evil letter to my local office)

Please I'd you have any information that can help me kindly share. Thank you all.

no really. I think medical is valid for 2 years now. second make the appointment to your field office to find out the status of your i-485. 

Thank you. My Congress person made an enquiry about it 5months ago, and they said they are working on it, they asked us  to wait  until after 3months before making another  enquiry. It's more than 5months now, no update. I dont want to get them mad, if I ask Congress person to make another enquiry again. 

Out of excitment ,after my aproval December 2022 , I thought I will be call for interview or RFE will be issue within few month because my 1-485 already moved to my local office. I went and did my medical and my child, the medical will be a year in  April does that mean I  have wasted $900 because till now no update on our 1-485.

Did you give any explanation why they returned your EAD application? You said you did get the receipt for your AP?

Did you send the payment for AP? Did you include the copy of your form i-485 with your EAD application? 

 

As of right now EAD c09 is free. Just make sure your did not type c31 of your EAD

I think am the one that didnt read through or understand well. It was not about payment but incomplete package. Thank you for your prompt response always. 

Hello everyone. I.sent a.renewal for EAD and AP under C09 category, after few weeks I got my EAD package back and a receipt for AP,  they requested for  EAD payment. I did renewed like 4x in the past without payment , I dont know If this is a new development. I have a pending adjustment of status since 2019, and my.vawa got approve a year ago no update till now.. 

How much is the payment and can i use check or card? TIA

Can someone help me with correct address to send my C09 renewal to? my vawa was.approved and my adjustment of status currently at my local office. I think I sent to wrong address, I want to resend a new one. TIA.

I think I sent my C09 renewal to the wrong address. My vawa was approved 10months ago, my file is at my local office but I sent my renewal to vawa office Vermont center.

38 River Rd, Essex junction VT, do I need to refill it or just wait?
