Hi Community,

My I-485 got approved today without interview and I wanted to thank all of you who gave me pieces of advise and information during this VAWA journey.
I wanted to share my timeline and advise for those who currently is surfing through here and looking for info:
 
August 25, 2018 - US Entry on a K-1 Visa
September 14, 2018 - Marriage
September 28, 2018 - I-485 Application (together with EAD+AP)
October 2, 2018 - NOA 1 I-485 (biometrics took place 3 weeks later)
January 2019 - EAP+AP approved
April 2019 - Divorce
April 24, 2019 - I-360 Application (applied with a lawyer, but moving forward acted on my own without lawyer's help)
September 2019 - Sent in more evidence on my own by reading this forum (I think my lawyer didn't include those docs on purpose in order to get RFE and charge me more). Please note that I sent in more evidence on my own without receiving a request for it twice total (once divorce paperwok and another time police clearances and my birth certificate).
3 times extended EAD + AP while waiting for I360 decision based on still pending I485.
May 24, 2021 - I360 Case Was Approved
August 2021 - I485 Request for updated medicals (my original medicals expired 1 months prior to this request)
September 27, 2021 - I485 Approval (Card being Produced status)
 
To all of you who is reading - I think very important for you to know that you are allowed to submit evidence for your I360 case (if you think your case is missing something) on your own without a lawyer. I only used an attorney in the first place because I didn't know about VAWA at all and I needed urgent help. But after reading this forum even the attorney I worked with was telling me that I know too much and I could do it on my own, etc. After I read the case she prepared I found that there were multiple mistakes made with names of people, facts, dates etc etc (I had to send another letter to Vermont to just correct her mistakes) and also some docs needed for this case were missing, which I think my attorney didn't put there on purpose. Those docs are required for a decision on I360 for sure. So by not including it my attorney planned to get an RFE...and her contract with me would oblige me for another $1000 to reply to an RFE. So when I started reading this forum I took this under my complete control and figured that my attorney is acting against my best interest. Another GREAT piece to this story is that my attorney assistant once called me and said that the attorney is not honest and that she purposely is not doing things I asked her to do, purposely missed docs, purposely was not even providing me the copy of my case for a few weeks...and her assistant actually recommended me to report her to the board of attorneys which I didn't do yet, but I will now that my cases are all done and I do not need her anymore for anything at all. But yeah people please be careful with attorneys please - mine was basically trying to suck the moneys out without providing the best service possible.
Luckily for me from the beginning I refused to add my attorney to my I485 case and once I360 was approved we kind of are done already.
 
Summary: I485 took 3 years exactly and I360 took 2 years and 1 month.
Good luck to everyone who is still waiting, you will get there soon!
 

In my experience they don’t reply to Service requests related to I-360 cases. I am attaching mine so you could have an idea

C31 is issued after your case has been approved . C 14 is the EAD for differed action applicant and you claim to suffer financial hardship of some sort . 

You are almost there . If they request the completed form to be mailed . It’s most likely interview is waived . Or at least I’d like to hope so !!! Congrats !!

I am September Filer . It took me 10 days to get the card . 

First of all congrats ! I have my EAD C31 card for over 3 month now . I have put in a Service Request which they should get back to me within a month . That date is coming really close with no response in sight . I also had my lawyer email an update request to their specific hotline email . Which according to their memo they are supposed to respond within 72 hours . It’s been over a week not a beep .. I have read on the Reddit that it kind of happens random for some reason. Sometimes they call and hang up real fast . So everyone’s guess is as good as yours . 

Hey guys, My GC arrived today.  I can't even explain the feeling, but I just know that I'm going to start living life. My only advise for you is to be patience and believe in god.  🙏

OMG guys I received my GC on the mail today. 
I can not believe it!!!!! A feeling of freedom I can’t explain!
once again thanks everyone.
The journey is long and sometimes it feels like it will never end but be patient, hopeful and it will all be ok! 

It was there this morning July 17 2019 . I checked now it’s gone . I am not surprised at all . As they have been given freedom to play with people’s lives with almost 0 accountability . So….

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.  

You can apply for EAD based on I485 pending (C09)as long as you are not in removal proceedings . I would suggest to double check with your lawyer to see if you have been placed on removal proceedings or no . 

If you filed October 2019 . Probably they are finalizing your case I assume . I applied in September 2019 and got my EAD card a little over 2 month ago . Soon enough hopefully 🙏 

Checked my I-360 today and guess what?!!
New Card Is Being Produced
Still can't believe it. Filed Oct 2019. 22 months. this is a journey of patience and I realize this is only one step closer.

You need to learn to let go of things that you can’t change or have control over . Get an app that notifies if there is an update in your case . So that you won’t check everyday on the website and get anxious,frustrated . Gym or any sports is a must !!! Try to think of a goal or plan you can set to achieve while waiting for your decision.

Hello, dont worry ripe fruits is always better than newly grown ones , it tastes sweeter. This is a test for all of us, I know for a fact we all are going through very difficult times during this wait. Some of our stories are way worst than others and some are little better but then again a heart can only take so much. I get anxiety, panic attacks and depressed suddenly out of nowhere. Weekends used to be Christmas for me id look forward to it but now weekends seems much depressive than any other days. It happens, find a hobby, meet your friends or see family members if you have. Make a routine each day so it keeps you busy. Trust me if you are all alone all day it will make you more depressed and will make your life more difficult. Seek therapist once a week, the one person you can trust and talk about yourself. It is very important to lift these burden off our shoulder. Since our ex's did  not knew our worth God gave us a chance to love ourselves. It is time to love ourselves and give the happiness to our own soul that was in need from long time.  Your journey just started keep praying with no time you will make through.

If your I-360 is approved you won’t be able to get a PF . The purpose of PF is to give you a “shield” from deportation while your case is being adjudicated and also qualifies for some benefits . Once the I 360 is approved they won’t issue the PF anymore .If you applied before June 22 2019 . You can put an inquiry through your lawyer . They usually have hotline email that they communicate with USCIS . 

Hopefully you will hear from them soon.

I believe you need to write a letter requesting the extension via certified mail .
