Good morning everyone
Can you please share your timeline if you filed Vawa this year?
I filed in April 2021
Prima facie Approval received in June 2021
Nothing else since then
My EAD extension just expired and still yet to get a renewal
I am stranded.
Please can we all share our timeline so I can know where USCIS is at...
Thank you.

Case stock in NBC
Called USCIS yesterday and the officer told me my file is STILL in NBC and it hasn’t been sent to my local field office yet. It’s been ***21 M O N T H S*** since my PD!!!!! She said she has no idea why it’s still being held in NBC! She said I should send a “letter” to NBC and ask them why they still haven’t sent my case to my local field office. Has anyone ever done that??

My case is already past processing time and I noticed traction after my attorney filed a Mandamus lawsuit last week.

Case must be reviewed after interview.
Hi, we had our interview on oct 15th. Everything went smooth and we made some little changes on our form i485. It’s been almost 3 weeks and no updates on anything. Is this normal? How long does it take for them to upload usually?
Thanks…

Expired Form
Hi everyone -- can I use an expired form if there is no more recent version? Form i-864/i-864ez is expired with no new version. Should I mention in a cover letter that there was no more recent version or I can simply use the expired form? Thank.

My journey is Over!! Employment based (EB2-NIW Self-petition)
I have been reading people’s experiences here for the last 2.5 yrs. I have been secretly cheering everyone on and happy for everyone’s successful GC journeys because I understand how much patience, money, frustration, hope, and anxiety we go through to get to the finish line. My journey has finally and successfully come to an end. The tips I got here were invaluable. Others’ experiences have kept me sane and hopeful. As such, I am sharing my own GC timeline. I hope this also helps you keep hope alive. I wish you good luck and success with your case :)

I-485 was denied. Can i refile?
Hello All,

I am USC doing a paper for my spouse and my stepdaughter (7yrs.)

 I-485 of my stepkid was denied because i messed up my paper work (i didn't file the I-130 with I-485 on behalf of her name). My spouse's I-485 still pending.

I got an letter from Uscis. They gave 33 days for my stepdaughter to leave.

I refile and submitted already yesterday. But i don't know what going on.

I am so worrying about removal processing.

Are there many peoples have the same situation?

Can you share your cases and the results of you case for me to learn.

I do appreciate for any advices from you.

Thank you.
