This is indeed what reportedly happens.
 
The flu vaccine is valuable to get for multiple medical reasons.  I personally would never go without getting one.

Sunday -- time for our lucky Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:
=============================
Tour guides at vacation hot spots have had to field these questions:
 
Does the sun set every night?
 
Are the Amish in season?
 
When do they turn off the waterfalls?
 
How many miles of undiscovered caves are there?
 
Why is the "closed for cleaning" sign on the restroom?
 
How come all of the war's battles were fought in national parks?
 
Why don't you have better marking in the places where trails do not exist?
 
Is this the same moon that we see in Vermont?
 
If it rains, will the fireworks be held inside?
 

Yee-HAAAAA!

Oh, boy!  Wednesday!  Time for our Semiweekly Semiofficial VAWA-Thread Joke:
==============================
DEATHBED CONFESSION
 
While a man was dying, his wife was maintaining a candlelight vigil by his side.  She held his fragile hand, tears running down her face.
 
Her praying woke him from his slumber.  He looked up, and his pale lips began to move slightly.
 
"My darling," he whispered.
"Hush, my love," she said.  "Rest -- don't talk."
 
He was insistent.  "I have something that I must confess," he said in a tired voice.
 
"There isn't anything to confess," replied his weeping wife.  "Everything's OK.  Go to sleep."
 
The man blurted out, "No, no -- I must die in peace.  I... I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and her mother!"
 
"I know," whispered his wife.  "That's why I poisoned you."
🤪

Yee-HAAAAA!

Hello My Family, 
 
  I’m September 2018 filler and My VAWA got approved today.
 
 I thank God and everyone on VJ, May God bless you all abundantly.
 
                          MY CASE HISTORY
 
(1) File form I-360 September 2018
 
(2) Request for Additional Evidence December 2018, Sent February 2019    (Good moral Character)
 
(3) Request for Additional Evidence June, 30 2021, Sent September, 1 2021 (Final Divorce Certificate)  
 
(4)  Today January 7, 2023 I got this email from USCIS.
 
On January 6, 2023, we approved your Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant.

I’ve had exactly the same experience at PHL after a trip to Europe recently. The secondary inspection is mandatory and was the easiest/fastest part of the whole trip. Got a stamp ‘paroled’ with the date in the passport. Long story short - pending Vawa after royal J-1 overstay. ✈️ with confidence!

Hey, haven’t been here in a while so forgive any rustiness. I360 takes time just be aware of that and also they do not respond to you personally due to the nature of the petition. You are obviously still within processing time. I’ve always advised folks here since 2018 to be patient even though I know the feeling..been through it. Good thing no RFE so far maybe next update will be approval. The updates you had so far are all standard procedures nothing out of the ordinary. Hold on just a little bit longer. Your day is coming fam!👍

mine c31 is expiring on feb 2023. I posted the same question few days ago. 
mine c09 is expiring on 2024 so i am not gonna apply for c31. why waste money.

Yes after this you will get either interview notice or they will asked you to mail in. Just wait for it.
 
As per my experience it usually taking 3 to 5 months.  

Congratulations! The same thing happened to me in the summer. I applied to C31 category last February and AP separately but when the card came it was a combo C09 card EAD+AP valid for two years. I guess the two years validity is what made them change the category. They used the receipt number for the C31 application like they did with you. Did you apply for AP also? Did you get a combo card?

i did not got rfe for it, i kept on pushing through congress thats how i knew. i made infopass appointment as mentioned earlier my officer was kind enough to take my old medical and approved it. It happens very rarely. 

This is why it is taking 30 months.  https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/data/I360_VAWA_performancedata_fy2022_qtr2.pdf
 
 

Just received my C31 EAD this weekend, impatiently waiting for the approval notice, as well as any deficiency or rfe for 485 since my 485 was also transferred to nbc. I feel like I’ve scaled a fence after 360 approval and the journey continues on the other side lol

NBC is the clearing house for your case file.  They are assisting the local office prepare your file for adjudication.  They can recommend to the the local office that you can get an RFE for medical if they believe you case can be approved with no issues.  The local office will say yes or no.  

My EAD got approved today ( second time,)

 
Anyone know if for 2 years or one year ? 
and the  expiration date on the EAD it’s count from the day I applied or the day I got approved? 
 
and my vawa case still on name was updated 
it’s good signs or ? 

Used AP to enter the country today at Chicago o'hare airport. Using advance parole was very easy. I gave the card and passport to first officer and within two minutes after taking my picture and fingerprint scan, called another officer to escort me to secondary inspection. I hardly waited for 10 minutes there, for them to verify my information on their system. Finally the officer called my name and verified my face with photo in my passport and said I am good to go. Overall very good exp using advance parole. 

It is Sunday, and time for our approval-evoking, good-news-spawning (or at least funny) Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

Wednesday means that it's time for our lucky, funny, upvote-worthy Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:
==============================================
WHICH TYPE OF BRA?
 
Entering a department store, a man walked into the ladies' department.  He hesitantly walked up to the woman behind the counter and softly said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife."
 
"What type of bra?" asked the clerk.
 
"Type?" said the confused man. "There's more than one type?"
 
"Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed him a sea of bras in every possible shape, size, color, and material.
 
"Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only 3 main styles of bras to choose from," she said.  "The Soldier, the Judge, or the Politician.  Which would you prefer?"
 
Now befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them.
 
The saleslady responded, "Well, it's quite simple.  The Soldier defends strategic locations from foreign hands; the Judge makes sure everything is equal and balanced; and the Politician blows everything out of proportion."
