Hi everyone 

I am a silent reader and have been suffering in many ways like everyone here. It’s been so tiring, frustrating to wait and see no update after the case was received..
 
I received the notification today “new card is being produced” which I assume it’s the signal of the approval of my case. Hope I can see the official approval notice soon🙏🏻.
I’m sharing my timeline. 
 
I filed i-360, i-485 on October 3rd 2019.
(I don’t have PD since the ex was a US citizen)
3 PF.
8/31/2021 new card is being produced.
 
May all stay healthy.

Congrats on getting your EAD approval… I’m holding on and hoping for mine. Concurrent filing was in May 2021, biometrics was in August and still believing God for my Combo card so I can work and get some peace of mind.

that's great news. i'm happy for you and it kinda gives me some relief as well.  i've applied on june, received all receipts and received notice on july stating that they have reused my bios for i485 and i360 but not for i765. i couldn't find any solid information if they will be reusing my bios for i765 as well or they will require a new one but i'm patiently waiting.

Good Morning Fam, '
 
You all are amazing thanks for always answering our inquires regarding anything. So today i had my i485 interview on marriage petition. I came to the point that i gave up whatever will happen will happen. Saw lot of people are so nervous to even talk to the front desk for checking in. I was just waiting , got there early and security guard in that floor kept on coming to me and asked for my number sigh !!! then i was called after long wait. The interviewer did not even took me inside. She asked me if i was going to pursue with i30 or i360 and that she knows i have filled i360 but she did not receive my petition from vermont yet so she cannot interview me. I already did my medicals incase but she did not take any documents she said she was sorry for the abuse and that when my petition gets approved i have to come back again for interview. She said that i can continue to work with my work permit, it just little thing for now until i get approved so i can live and also she mentioned that she wont deny any of my pending application it will remain pending until my vawa gets approved. Now another wait begins 

I-360 
05/2019 Filled 
06/2019 RFE good moral character (didn’t receive it due to address not being updated by uscis)
10/2019 congresswoman got a copy of the RFE after checking on my case
11/2019 USCIS received my response for RFE
11/2020 Case approved 
 
I-485
07/2019 Filled 
09/2019 notice of fingerprints applied 
07/2021 RFE for medicals from local office 
08/2021 medicals received by local office 
08/2021 Case approved - local office Miami, FL

Most of my cases the couples were married for  2/5 moths.I had one case  that she was married for  24 hours , another case he was married for 5 day, both are  U.S Citizen now.

OMG!!! Guys, I posted 2 days ago that my local office received my medicals and today I got a new card is being produced under my I-485 application. I still can’t believe it. My local office is Miami, FL.
thank you everyone who took the time to answer questions, offer support and prayers for all of us. I’ll post my complete timeline over the weekend!!! 
once again, Thank you!!

Hi guys.  I have received the same thing from Uscis-asked to send my medical exam and form I-864W . Yay I'm so exited -more than likely no interview for GC . Does anyone know how long will take to send the GC after submitting the medical exam? Thanks 😊 Finally after 5 long years. I suggest everyone that is experiencing long wait to contact their Congresswoman/congressman .they really help a lot.  

Family, 
I was sure this moment would never happen for me but… a notification with “new card is being produced” was sent tonight!! After 1004 days my Vawa was approved without any RFE. Applied on November 19 2018. Exactly 33 months. 
im so happy and relieved. 
now waiting for approval notice and a new card. Hope these next steps would be faster than ever! 

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll get the process of creating the expedite request started. Also, I will not go out of this country unless and until I've an AP approved with the EAD. 
 
Thanks for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it. I'll definitely reach out to my local senator's office with the request and get my attorney onboard with it as well.
 
Thank you again for sharing all your experiences and suggestions. I really really appreciate them.

I filed in Dec 2020 and got my Prima Facie Determination in the last week of June 2021. So, it took me 6 months and a few days to get it.
 
For my Combo card, I wrote an expedite request letter, my attorney reviewed the letter and supporting documents;  and emailed them to Vermont, but they ignored it. I mailed the same letter and supporting documents to VSC, they still did not move an inch. They only updated my I-360 with correspondence was received and they are reviewing it. Nothing else!
 
So I told my lawyer that I wanted to contact my Senator and he said go ahead. I kept my attorney in the picture by forwarding Senator's emails to him as well. My Senator submitted the same expedite request letter dated February (without changing the date or anything - exactly the same things me and my attorney submitted before) and supporting documents to USCIS in July 2021. My Senator came back with a response that USCIS has approved my expedited request. I was surprised. My I-765 & 131 were approved few days after I got my Senator's email, and my Combo Card was sent to my attorney few days after.
 
Expedite requests have NO negative impacts on any application. It's very fine for them to either approve or deny them. No negative impact.

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll get the process of creating the expedite request started. Also, I will not go out of this country unless and until I've an AP approved with the EAD.

Someone here said to submit expedite for EAD with new job offer stating you will lose the job if unable to start soon, as that might work. Do this through senator. Also look at 'expedite criteria' on USCIS website, to see if you meet any of those. If you prefer consular processing try going through Mexico if your country is subject to travel ban and closed consulates. But if your consular processing is denied at consulate and you don't have AP, then you will be SOL and your i485 will get denied. I don't know what happens to I360 if you are stuck outside the country. 

Yes Congress Office & Senator office are the best and more effective way to Expedite Request for EAD, I also experience an Expedite with the help of congress office only*... They will not do it stand alone request.
