May 2022 bring internal and external peace to you all -- and approval of whatever you're patiently waiting on.

Hello All,
 
I hope you all are doing great. I've been so busy at work these past few months due to staffing shortages and sometimes have to work straight 4 day shifts, juggle children's activities, but I'm so grateful to God Almighty for the opportunity.
After 3 long years, my I485 has been approved!!! What a beautiful New Year's present!! My attorney's office sent me the I693 first week in December on a Friday immediately they received it, I got my medicals done the very next Monday, received the results back on a Thursday and that same Thursday dropped it off at my attorney's office. Barely 11 days later, which was 2 days ago, I received the notification "card in production" and yesterday "your case has been approved". I normally read where people say it takes 2 months to get the notification for card production, so I was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed that it came so quickly. Being the daughter of The Most High God SURELY has its perks, it grants me VIP status wherever I go, thank you Jesus!! My Father in heaven, the creator of heaven and earth, I am SO PROUD to be your daughter 🥳 🙏🙌.
I just got home from work, so if I don't respond to messages immediately please bear with me as I'm probably passed out on my couch :-), but I will respond as soon as I can.
Jet setting, let's get it!!
 
Thank you all and may you be blessed now and always.

Hi @shiva32 and @Zzz___1
I didn’t received any updates about the transfer or I693 medical deficiency notices. After approval notice, I just got the interview notice on Nov 19 21’ and the notice shows that I should bring the new medical report with me on the interview date

It is Wednesday, and therefore time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:
=============================================
JUST A SMALL WHITE DOT (?)
 
A kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out something exciting and relate it to the class the next day.
 
When the time came to present what they'd found, the first little boy whom the teacher called on walked to the front of the class, took a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, and sat back down.
 
Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was.
 
"It's a period," he replied.
 
"I can see that," said the teacher, "but what is so exciting about a period?"
 
"Darned if I know," said the little boy, "but this morning my sister was missing one, my mother fainted, my dad had a heart attack, and the boy next door joined the Navy!"
 

Finally 🥂🙏🏼

Hi VJ family I got an update on my i-485. " New Card is being produced".
 
Finally it is over after 3 years.

At last, here is our Semiweekly Semiofficial VAWA-Thread Joke*:
     *patent pending for evoking approvals and positive progress, if correlation = causation
==============================================
THE FORTUNE-TELLER AND THE BAD NEWS
 
During a recent outing in New Orleans, a woman sneaked away from her husband to visit a fortune-teller of some local repute.
 
In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the mystic delivered grave news.  "There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just be blunt:  Prepare yourself to be a widow.  Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year."
 
Visibly shaken, the woman stared at the fortune-teller's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands.  She took a few deep breaths to compose herself.  She met the fortune-teller's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked,
 
"Will I be acquitted?"
 

So I received my I360 approval notice today. My I485 was filed in Feb 2020, and it was transferred to NBC in Oct 2020 for "faster processing." . @Demise and others, do I need to do anything else to get I485 processing rolling at this point? Do I need to send NBC a copy of the I360 approval notice or something?

hi vj family, today I have received the request of medicals i693, thank God Senator Gillibrand helped me to inquire about my i485 and received today her email with uscis response and the rfe as pdf.
I will start this right away, so I can send it as soon as posible, it seems the interview has been waived, God is so good, God is bring justice and mercy to my life, keep praying believing, please keep me in your prayers,
I will respond this rfe through my lawyer, and hopefully USCIS will send the green card straight to my lawyers office.
If you have any suggestions please let me know
God bless you all

Through every dark night, there’s even brighter day after that . I pray for you . Hopefully you will hear some good news soon . 

It is Sunday, and time for our approval- and good-news-evoking Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:
----------------------------------
A BLONDE BY ANY OTHER NAME
 
A blonde walked into an electronics store and said to the salesman, "I want that TV."
 
The salesman shook his head and said, "No -- we don't sell to blondes."
 
The blonde left and came back with her hair dyed brown.  She said, "I'll take that TV."
 
Again, the salesman said, "No -- we don't sell to blondes."
 
The blonde left again and came back with a hat, a fake nose, and her hair dyed black, and said, "I want that TV."
 
The salesman said, "Sorry -- we don't sell to blondes."
 
Finally the blonde got fed up and said, "That's it!  How do you keep guessing that I'm a blonde?"
 
The salesman said, "Because that's a microwave."
 

It is Wednesday, and therefore time for our Semiweekly Semiofficial VAWA-Thread Joke*.
   *guaranteed (?) to elicit approvals and positive progress, if correlation = causation
   *also guaranteed not to be a repeat of a previous one   
===========================================
THE SUBLIMINAL LETTER
 
A college student sent a letter to his parents back home:
 
"Dear Mom and Dad,
 
"$chool i$ really great.  I am making lot$ of friend$ and $tudying very hard.  My profe$$or$ are al$o $uper cool!  With all my $tuff, I $imply can't think of anything I need, $o if you $ee fit, you can ju$t $end me a card, becau$e I would love to hear from you.  Mi$$ you guy$!
 
'$incerely your$,
"Your loving $on."
 
He soon received this reply:
 
"Dear Son,
 
"NOthing is new here.  We kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOugh to keep even an hoNOr student busy.  Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOugh.  That's all for NOw.
 
"Love, Mom and Dad"
 

Hi folks, today I received this notification and it seems my I360 has been approved. Here you will see my timeline. I was devastated when my marriage finished but now I see a light after all this process. I never received a prima facia during these two years and my I485 was transferred from my marriage process. 

btw, my i765 -C09 renewal is still pending since september 2020.

good luck to every one and never lose your faith. 

Hi everyone, so after USCIS messed up the address of where my gc is supposed to be delivered, I finally  received my green card!!! After x times of calling: 
 
USPS and telling me to call local USPS-Kew Gardens wherein I ended up being ignored, and staff told me “ I can’t stand here all day and keep scanning”, I got ignored too when I told them that the suite number that USCIS used for the address was wrong (old) and that it has been corrected by my lawyer at USCIS and USPS. I was told “ I don’t know where your package is”
 
USCIS- I asked them to resend my card and that I have asked for an e-request too online. For form I-90 even if I have checked the box that my gc was lost, before submitting it online it still required me to pay $500plus dollars unless if I’ll file for waiver but then with waiver I can only apply via snail mail.  I have even asked for info pass appointment. It was frustrating. Lots of pointing fingers and calls. 
 
Lawyer- I begged  if he could go to post office since it was address to his name and office, he said “line was too long, couldn’t wait”. I don’t think he went anyway. 
 
I’ve reached out to Senators Gillibrand and AOC, couldn’t believe the quick response that I got compared before maybe bec election is coming? LOL. I told them about the job I lost in the hospital. So from AOC, a representative from her office asked my tracking number yesterday via email and I replied last night and viola! Mail delivered. Thank God. To all my fellow VAWA filers, don’t give up and use all the resources that you can get. Thank you for this forum. God bless us all!

(Man, but that replacement joke worked fast.)   Congratulations!   

I went for my interview today… went in 30 mins prior. My lawyer supposed to come with me but she came late. So I went in without her. The IO asked if I want to wait for her but I told her there is no need. She asked my date of birth, parents name, if I have kids, I had two, the second one just one month ago. She asked for their birth certificates, then my divorce decree, yes or no question and that was it. She later gave me a paper that after background check, they will make a decision. 
After 10 mins, I got update that my card is being produced. I’m so happy this is the end of the journey since 2016 I got married to my abuser . Filed Vawa 2018. 
i wish everyone all the best. 
 

There are two signs of senility:  the first is memory-loss, and I forget the other.
Will post a remedial joke this eve.
