It's a Double blessing today. Today is my birthday and I went for an interview I got approved immediately, before I got home a new card is been produce.
Here is my Timeline
Marriage base AOS Octomber 2019
Changed to vawa August 2020
RFE good moral Octomber,  submitted November 2020.
Divorce December 2020
Vawa approved December 17 2022
Interview schedule April 18,2024
Got approved immediately.
 
Note: I went with my medical which I did a year ago ,it was accepted, I thought I would need a new one, officer said it's still valid. 
 
I wont call it an  interview, I was only asked 3 question about security. the officer corrected my old AOS like address , marital status and job. 
So if you have a pending old 1-485 you might be call for interview for them to have up to date information about you, but if you submitted new 1-485 with your vawa petition or file later you will be mostly he among those interview will be waived.
Thank you vawa family.
Thank you for your reply @Sandra G. You saved me $500 for attorney fee, I went alone. 
 

Hello Family
 
Good News is here... 
I contacted my attorney's office and they took a whole day to find my GC in their mail finally, I got a call back saying that they had my GC in the office. I picked up my GC and felt so Relaxed...
 
What a relief, can't explain it in words...
 
Thanks Family

Finally, today my GC got approved. What a relax ☺️ 
 
thanks all family members here for supporting and guiding me on every step.
 
 
 
 
 

Hi everyone,
 
I am a past VAWA recipient and filed my citizenship 2 years and 9 months as my spouse was a us citizen.
I filed online and just followed the instructions online. I do not have any information regarding paper filing. I found it easier to file online because the update documents uscis sends you in the mail can be found online in your uscis account before you get them in the mail. 

July 28 2023 - We received your form N-400 ( online application) 
August 10 2023 - We are actively reviewing your form N-400 nothing shows outstanding at the moment (biometric waived) 
September 27 2023 - We scheduled your interview for your for N-400
November 2 20203 - Interview (only asked questions on the form my name, place of employment, date of birth etc., did the oral, written, and history test. I call it history test) and he scheduled my oth ceremony on spot and gave me the information to take to the oath ceremony 
December 1 2023 Oath Ceremony
 
i am currently in the processes of filing for my mom and just a month after submitting her application they requested the medical which I didn’t send with the application and we are about to get her biometric done. 
 
Good luck to everyone on their journey.

I got a notification on my 485 that a new card is being produced.. but with my journey, as a lot of you might remember, I wont believe it until i have it 

Same here with you on my upcoming N400 application which I intend to file online.
 To everyone still in process, please don’t lose hope, my case was super complicated, I had no lawyer and filed everything myself. Now here I am filing for citizenship. We will all pull thru this process. Sometimes I pull out my green card and tears just flow. Sleepless nights, stress and fear to get this far. Our help is in the Name of the Lord 🙏🏽
 

Got an RFE for my medicals. Hopefully this will go like it did for most - means they waived my interview (something that I thought they didn't do for EWIs), approve me, and I'll be finally free.

The questions were based on all the forms I have submitted from the beginning.there were no new questions really.be composed and let God have the way

Hello everybody,
 
I was a vawa applicant from April 2017.  My case was actually denied and I received a Notice of Intent to Deny back in Oct 2020.   My new lawyer submitted the 601 waiver. In Nov 2022 they asked for additional evidence. I was also asked to submit good moral character documents, I was also asked to submit last 5 year Income Taxes.  We made a very big package of all the information needed. After we submitted the RFE it took almost 2 and half months for the good news.  Moral of the story : Do not give up, be positive, do research and Good News will come. Keep Praying. Here is my timeline from when I applied Vawa.
 
 

It's still Wednesday in a couple of time zones, so we are timely with our much-needed Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

Dear freinds the new chapter has been added let’s hope that the people who got their green card through VAWA will get their citizenship and share their success stories let’s hope for the best 

This is the continuation thread for

Absolutely remember ongoing issues and unfinished conversations from Part 26, and carry on with them here!
 
We had some great approvals within Part 26, and we look forward to celebrating yours here in Part 27.

We're in great -- nay, desperate -- need of our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:
=============================================================
SEEN ON STUPID SIGNS
 
DANGER -- DO NOT TOUCH.  Not only will this kill you, but it will hurt the whole time when you're dying.
 
PUSH TO OPEN.  If that does not work, PULL.  If both do not work, try the actual entrance around the corner.
 
Please note:  cat milk does not come from cats.
 
Please do not lick the bathroom walls.  Thank you.
 
We don't speak Pig Latin, Klingon, or Starbucks.  Please order a small, medium, or large.
 
Pull your pants up or don't come in.  No one wants to see your underwear.  (Does not apply to children under 3 years of age.)
 
In light of recent events, no Oreos will be allowed in the library.
 
This vending machine has no cups.  Please do not cup your hands underneath it instead.
 
Because of a shortage of robots, some of our staff are human and therefore react unpredictably when abused or under pressure.
 

It is Sunday, and time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:
======================================================
FOLLOW THE PLOW
 
A blonde driving a car became lost in a snowstorm.  She didn't panic, however, because she remembered what her dad had once told her:  "If you ever get stuck in a snowstorm, just wait for a snowplow to come by and follow it."
 
Sure enough, pretty soon a snowplow came by, and she started to follow it.
 
She followed the plow for about 45 minutes. Finally, the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing.  She explained that her dad had told her if she ever got stuck in a snowstorm, to follow a plow.
 
The driver nodded and said, "Well, I'm done with the Walmart parking lot; do you want to follow me over to Best Buy now?"
 

Hello everyone! 👋 I've been a silent spectator of this VAWA forum, and it has been an incredible source of support and motivation for me.
Here's my timeline so far:
SEP 20, 2020: Sent my complete package (I-360, I-485, and I-765) to the Vermont Service Center.
OCT 9, 2020: USCIS received my applications, and fees were waived.
FEB 18, 2021: Received an update that my case showed fingerprints were taken.
OCT 23, 2023: Received an update on my I-360 stating that a "new card is being produced".

I'm thrilled to share this progress, and I couldn't have done it without the encouragement and information from this forum. Thank you all for being a part of my journey! 🙏
 

It is Wednesday, and already time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke (meriting upvotes, of course):

Hey Karman, hope you are holding up ok. Hi Everyone, I'm here to say thank you Jesus. I have seen a miracle with my own eyes. Won't go into details but long story short- my EAD expired Sept 20th. I had started my renewal process in February! Countless letters and calls to our friends at the USCIS, even congressman, no response. I was on the brink of insanity as I can not afford to lose my job. The miracle is I didn't lose my job, HR found a clause that enabled me to keep working without a renewed EAD.
Randomly checked my case status today and saw new card being produced for my EAD. Note to TBone- jokes work. They really do!

Dear friend I went to my green card interview on august 28,2023 and my case approved I also applied for a i601  waiver. It was also a proved  I  hope my good news inspire others. I want to say thanks for all who help me in the past on this forum, and who I have meet in person stay bless now I’m going to Jamaica 🇯🇲 🇯🇲✈️✅🙏❤️🔥🎊🎉😎🫡al
