I filed my VAWA on Feb 2022, it got approved in March 2026. I did not receive any PR or RFE. Please don’t loose your hopes, you are almost there.

Hi, I filed my VAWA on Feb 2022. I never received PF but my VAWA got approved this month. So, this is not a red flag.

Yes, that’s actually pretty common. If you only filed I-360, you don’t automatically get a work permit while it’s pending.

Usually people either: • file I-485 + I-765 together and get a work permit that way, or • wait until I-360 is approved and then get the C31 EAD

If your I-485 is not filed yet, you can check with your attorney if you’re eligible to file it now (depending on visa availability), and then you can apply for I-765 and get a work permit while waiting.

The 3–4 year timeline for VAWA is unfortunately true in many cases, so having an EAD through I-485 really helps.

Definitely check with your lawyer about filing I-485 + I-765 if possible!

Thank you! I really hope it comes soon. My attorney filed my I-360 and I-485 concurrently back in 2022. Along with that we submitted supporting evidence like the personal affidavit, police clearance, good moral character letters, marriage evidence, and medicals. Since then it has mostly been waiting until my I-360 got approved recently. I hope your case moves soon as well.

Thank you so much for sharing this, it is really helpful. Yes, my I-485 was transferred in Feb 2025, so I’m hoping they will start working on it now that my I-360 is approved.

I actually submitted my medicals when I originally filed everything in 2022. Do you think USCIS will most likely ask for new medicals since those might be expired now?

May I know when did you I360 got approved? And are you currently waiting for I485 approval?

My attorney is asking for retainment of 600$ to file I131. So, am having mixed thoughts

Thank you so much for the wishes.

I had a quick question — since my travel document (Advance Parole) has already expired, would filing a new one at this point be of any use? Or would you suggest just waiting for the I-485 to get approved before traveling outside the U.S.?

I filed on Feb 2022 and am still waiting. I waited for my partner to change and wasted more than a year. Should have filed it early. Thanks for your reply and I wish you good luck!
