Thanks and God bless you. 

Just passed through TSA on my new AP! I was very nervous but I made it. They took me to the secondary inspection room and looked through the documents and then asked standard questions and then let me go. I encourage everyone who is able to travel and doesn’t have anything barring them from coming back to definitely take the opportunity of their APs!

Uscis have increased the 180 days to 540 days. Your recipe should be able hold you till you get your work authorization.

Yes it is safe to travel as long as you don't have any criminal history and you are not in removal proceedings.

Hey Everyone, here to share the power of prayer. Yesterday I was asking if anyone knew of any solutions because my job wouldn’t accept my extension and @balo101 tried to help (thank you) as a result yesterday was my last day at work and I am terminated today. I prayed last night, and begged God to have mercy on me after all I’ve been through before going to bed, and just a while ago I get a notification that new card is being produced for my I-485!!!!!
I am so grateful and will pray for everyone in this community to hear good news soon 🌸

Don’t file the mandamus yet. We have similar timelines. I had years of long silence with no RFE and my congressman shunned me 😂
 
Here’s what I did:
1. Sent a personal letter to USCIS for an update
2. Contacted my congressman for support
3. Sent a copy of my police report (good moral character). They didn’t ask for another copy but I needed someone to review my case. 
4. Sent another letter which I stated that I’m ‘wondering if I missed any correspondence because I was working in another state temporarily’. lol …. sshhh! 🤐 
5. Submitted out of normal processing request. 
6. They’ll send you a letter refusing to provide any update and ask you to mail USCIS instead. I made a copy of that letter and attached a written letter pleading for an update. I received a status update in 2 days with approval  😂😂
 
I can send you a draft of the letter for help. (With my info blurred of course). Good luck!! 
 
I didn’t take these actions at once. Some in parallel and others giving months in between.

Never give up. Don’t let anyone tell you that your case won’t be approved, even your lawyer . Fight for your case until you get approved. My case can be an encouragement to someone, I am in immigration proceedings since 2017, got 204 c fraud on my I-130, I-360 office sent me a 7 pages NOID which was my only hope, responded to NOID January 31. I worked on it with my lawyer and provided new proofs and my case is approved  in less than 2 months. Can’t wait to get my green card finally.
 Thanks to this forum, many people helped me here how to write a winning personal declaration. Thank you all. To God all the glory Case Was Approved
On March 23, 2022, we approved your Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant, Receipt Number EACxxxxxxxxxxx. We sent you an approval notice. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your approval notice by April 7, 2022, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Because Vawa is not in the same public database for other categories, fafsa application will not be able to verify your eligibility, what happens is the school of choice will ask for proof if either pf or yoyr vawa approval notice of action to complete verification.
