Keep Hope Alive Guys. I was approved. Against all odds.   --Key Points--   - Filed with a single letter from a domestic violence counselor and my own detailed affidavit.

Thank you for the congrats. I've read horrendous stories about bad attorneys on this forum so I feel so lucky to have a good attorney to help with my case. I don't want to mention the name of his firm here but I feel compelled to share a little information about his firm so that people in need can get affordable, quality help. My attorney is located in Richmond, VA (VAWA is federal case, so it doesn't matter where your attorney is given that the attorney takes your case and is willing to travel). He and his team are all very passionate people, advocates for immigrants, and very responsive to emails and questions. They charge very reasonable fees for the services too. The attorney is fluent in both english and Spanish. Good luck and be patient.

Yes B is the right. You are a non resident alien. When you get your green card you become a resident alien

I see. But what if I really need the prima facie to get health insurance? 

Another question- I already applied for EAD when I applied I-485 during marriage, do I need to apply another one under I-360? 

Thanks 

I don't know if prima facie can be requested. It's seems as if they just issue it randomly. Ask Sandra.

I filed 1-485 & I-765 before with my ex. I don't know what category I filled it in. How do I find out? 

Thank you for the reply

It's just a notice saying that you can receive government benefits while waiting for your vawa to be approved. You can get food stamps, health care coverage and financial aid to go to school with a prima facie. 

Really victime of domestic violence can use prima facie to go to school?

@Mnmnm There has to be someway the online status doesn't show anything.... How long has it been since you applied for your EAD?

 

Worst case scenario some people filed the wrong category when they applied for vawa and submitted new applications, but... I suppose you filed the correct category singe you have done it previously with your souse, please check with @sandranj she must've seen all forms of NOA people receive!
