Hi family!!

 

Has anyone from NYC received his/her GC recently? How long did it take you to get the update after VAWA approval?

 

Anyone else from NYC is waiting for GC after VAWA approval? How long have you been waiting for?

 

Please share your experience. 

Hi @balo101

NYC filier here. I filed I-360 in April 2019 approved on April 2021. I485 transferred to Queens filed office in August 2021 according to lawyer. Fingerprints in October 2021. Since then radio silence no rfe for medicals or interview notice. Still waiting, my lawyer said. my case is still within normal processing times. Starting to worry to be honest the wait is nerve wracking

I am confused… just got my approval for I-765 by mail with the receipt number linked to my c31… the approval notice contains C31 receipt number with c 09 category 😕 

is it a mistake or do they really use same receipt number for both  of my categories? 
 

i have never received receipt notices for c09 
 

 

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?

Wow that good you got combo card. 

now the question is did you pay for renewal of C31? 

 

Yes I paid for both forms. I got a fee waiver when I submitted my I485. 

On 7/13/2022 at 12:56 AM, balo101 said:

I think it will be a combo card since both are approved on same day. 

You were right my dear. It is indeed a combo card. 
EAD category is 09P even though I applied for c31. Thanks

Congratulations !! Did you get a combo card or just both separate? How long work Auth and AP are valid . I've heard they give work authorization for 2 years now. What about AP? 

They gave me a combo card valid for two years.

Hello all,

Although I don't connect often I have been a silent follower of this valuable forum. Congratulations to all the approved and those waiting keep faith the day is coming soon.

I filed for ead renewal (C31) and AP (I131) on February 2022 and today both cases got approved. I-485 is still pending 16 months after I-360 approval (NYC queens).

Below is a screenshot of the timeline of the two petitions.

 

Hi all a quick update:

I have received the EAD and AP and it is indeed a combo card valid for two years. 

Even though I have applied for a C31 renewal they decided to change the category and based it on the pending I-485.

Some of you were right though. Thanks again to everyone and I hope we see many more approvals.

Hi.My VAWA was approved in April 2021 and i am still waiting for the interview, also Queens FO.

We have the same approval then. here is my timeline

04/2019 i360 filed

06/2019 i485 and i765 filed

03/2021 EAD C31 produced

03/2019 I485 transferred

You think so? I am really hoping it is. But the EAD is category C31. Funny thing is I had an info pass appointment on June 8th and they gave me a paper AP because I was travelling a week later. In case it is not a combo card, I will have two AP valid for one year and expiring one month apart. I currently have paper AP valid until June 2023 which I used to apply for visa and come to Paris. At least I will get two years EAD which is great.

The receipt notice does show that the initial petition was paid for. Unfortunate that it struck me to want to apply for AP now. I checked the processing times and it's showing12-14.5 months. 

Indeed that what it shows but don't let it discourage you. I got my AP and EAD approved in 4 months.

Thank you. I doubt it will be a combo card though. Waiting to receive them. But I think the AP will be paper AP and the ead a separate card.

So your i-485 pending for last 16 months? 

Have you contact USCIS or your congress person?

I am in NYC as well. My VAWA got approved 4 months ago and i am so desperate for the interview. But you are there for 16 months already. I guess i should not have my hopes high at this moment. 

I havent contacte congressman because I figured they are still running background/security checks. Based on what I have seen on this forum it is common practice for NYC to schedule interview or ask for ref around 18 months or even two years after approval. But I will put in a service request next month though

Will it be a combo card?

Can C31.(EAD/AP ) approved the same day be a combo card?

Thank you. I doubt it will be a combo card though. Waiting to receive them. But I think the AP will be paper AP and the end a separate card.

we filed two petitions

hello dear family,

today I woke up with the great news that my i485 changed status to New Card is Being Produced, I guess this means that my GC has been approved?

Is it the 10 year GC? from this point how long do I have to wait to get the card in my hands?  please let me know

Congratulations my dear. I am so happy for you. I hope we see fast approvals in NYC too. I am a 06/2019 filier and this gives me hope. They are treating 2019 cases in all NY offices. Yes you will get the 10 year green card. Enjoy and many blessings.

Hi VAWA community,
A quick question. How long does it take for i360 status to change from "Card was delivered to you by the Post Office" to "Case Approved" ???

 

Hi @DmytriiD my card was produced on March 17 and on April 16 my I-360 case was approved. However my I485 still says "transferred to another office" and I haven't had any interview scheduled yet. I suggest you follow the lady's advice if you don't get the interview notice in 60 days call again and ask where your case is. Congrats o your approval

Hi everyone! 
 

Just wanted to tell you that my Prima Facie arrived 2 days ago. I was about about to mail a letter to have it renewed like many of you suggested but they mailed the new one before I had the chance. I will use it to pay in-state tuition. 
 

Thank you everyone! 

Thank you. My fellow senegalese

@Maridade, congratulations and when was your i-360 approved ?

Thank you @Precious100. My case hasn't been officially approved yet. I just received the c31 work card.

Waiting for the approval letter and I485 is transferred for processing.

Hello Vawa family,

Can someone please explain to me what this status means? Does this mean that my case is at NBC or at my local office. Fwiw they transferred my case to another office for processing on March 17 and then March 18 it says new office has jurisdiction. I haven't gotten any notice by mail. Thank you in advance.
