IMPORTANT // AOS & TAX DOCS FOR NVC
Hi everyone. I am making this post to share my current situation after submitting the required AOS/tax docs to NVC. What I submitted: • Form I-864 • Form I-864A • 2024 tax returns for myself as well as my joint sponsor • Proof of relationship to joint sponsor (a birth certificate) The submissions were partially rejected. Reasons why: • Each form needs to be submitted with every page included, even if some are blank. • Regarding tax returns, I personally submitted my 1099 from 2024. This was accepted! However, my joint sponsor submitted their tax return account transcript for 2024. Apparently this was rejected? Don’t ask me why lol. So, I am having my joint sponsor obtain their 1099 for 2024 instead. But we will still resubmit with both (account transcript and 1099). • They also requested W-2 forms from both me and my joint sponsor, if available to us. My joint sponsor says her company does not do W-2s. So we will explain this to NVC… I just wanted to write this post to make everyone aware so that a hold-up like this could be avoided. :) #cr1 #nvc #aos #i864 #i864a

How long have you been waiting for VAWA approval? 48 months pending need advice
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask how long others have been waiting for their VAWA approval and what your timelines look like. Here's my situation: • I filed my VAWA (I-360) petition on August 16, 2021. • The last update I had was a request for evidence on good moral character / criminal background. I provided my fingerprints and FBI background check, and they issued me a prima facie determination. • Since then, my prima facie has been renewed, and I am now on my fourth prima facie (from May 21 until November 15 this year). • My VAWA case status is still showing "Case is Pending." In addition: • My I-485 adjustment of status application was filed before VAWA, back in 2019, based on marriage. • My I-485 was stuck in "Ready for Interview" status from September 2021 until May 2025 (I didn't attend the interview because of the VAWA process). • Then on May 21, 2025, my I-485 status changed to "Case was transferred to a new jurisdiction." I submitted an inquiry to USCIS 8 days ago, but haven't heard back yet. It's been 48 months since my VAWA filing, and I'm honestly frustrated and unsure what's happening. Has anyone experienced this type of delay? • How long did your VAWA case take? • Did you get any helpful updates after this long? • How did your I-485 and VAWA processing work together? Any insights would really help, thank you!

Vawa Change of Address over phone experience
Hello to everyone. Just to keep you updated about my change of address experience. I called USCIS at 800-375-5283 and asked to speak with a representative. Representative started by asking personal questions and others about my case to verify my identity due to privacy concerns with vawa which is a protected category. My receipt number and Alien number were required. When this was completed, I was switched over to another department where I was asked my old address, and then my new address. The change of address was then put in for approval and then updated. I know some people in the protected status can mail a signed Form AR-11 (or a signed written notice) to the vawa department for address change. This phone change worked better for me as my address was successfully updated. Goodluck to everyone.
