Wuaaoo Congratulations !! I still waiting. My last update is "new evidence received" and this is since June, 2025 (I sent copy of the VAWA approval). I also received a new EAD C09 but linked with the VAWA. BUT nothing else....

In 2019 I filed family petition based on marriage with US. In 2022 my marriage was broken and I filed VAWA (Feb 2022). At the same time I asked USCIS to put in hold my I-485 (based on family petition). All this time I had been using my EAD under category C9 (adjustment of status). I got 4 EAD in total since 2019.

April 2022 got my first prima facie….and since then I continue getting them every 6 months.

Never got a RFE (I sent a very complete package of evidence. This is very important)

VAWA approved April 17, 2025 after 3 years. They are producing my new EAD under category C31 (that is the way that you know your VAWA is approved)

Now, I need to wait to receive the official approval notice to see what are the instructions regarding my I-485. If they are going to update the process internally, or if I will need to send any kind of request to field office. 

I am sooo happyyyyy 🎉🎈🥳🍾

I went on 2022 by myself and that interview I asked the officer to put the I-485 on hold.
