U-Visa & I-290B
Hi everyone! I received a RFE staying I was missing proof of residence for the last 3 years and the form I-693 (medical certificate). They received a response from my lawyer on 8/9/2021 but my lawyer insisted the I-693 form needed to be brought with me for my interview and only sent the proof of residence. I was granted a U-Visa and that wasn't not applicable for my case and they denied my immigration adjustment for that missing document. We filed an appeal I-290B last month. Do you have any idea how long is the wait for their approval to reopen my case?
I am so upset my lawyer wasn't knowledgable of the U-Visa process and in this case an interview is not applicable.

ok , with the i290b, it has no timeline and they treat each case differently, it can take up to a year or less for them to process and reopen your case , but hopefully they process your case faster,just keep praying, ....all the best

teresa marcumOct 4, 2021
what is U-visa
G COct 4, 2021
@Teresa Yes I highly recommend you to hire a lawyer who is familiar with your type of case and file the I-290B form appeal. When did you receive the denial letter? Did you get a RFE before th denial?
G COct 4, 2021
U-Visa is provided to immigrants who are victims of a crime.

teresa marcumOct 4, 2021
it scared me cause i let this to happen. im in bad situation that why i cant provide any evidence
G COct 4, 2021
My denial letter says if they don't receive my appeal within 33 days their decision is final. You should talk to a lawyer asap. Good luck!

thank you too 😊

G C, did you file an appeal or a motion? Mine is a motion hence, I was able to raise a service request in 90 days and received a response e-mail from USCIS today. If it’s an appeal then you have to wait minimum of 180 days to even raise a request. As far as the decision is concerned Usher Byron is right! There is no timeframe. I actually raised a SR 30 days earlier and USCIS says I should receive a response shortly. That’s all they said. Actually, it’s been 52 days for me to be exact. But, I insisted on raising a request when I called and the agend was nice so she did it for me.

what is the latest update on your case? I am having the same issue, they have lost my medical form twice and they denied. Should I file an appeal or just file a new I-485?
Hope kFeb 15, 2022
My date retrogressed hence, I’m waiting now. The officer called after raising a SR and told me that I had to wait to hear from their office. 90 days, 180 days means nothing. I talk to them in October and November date retrogressed. If it’s just medical..,.I would just appeal and send the medical again via Fedex. This way you can track it.
