Request for divorce certificate and wanting to apply for VAWA (split)

[Chumy81 0]

Hi, My husband applied for me and I got my working and traveling permit but before the first interview I started my divorce because I got tired about his threatening related to my immigration process. I couldn't resist his physical and emotional abuse anymore. I know I should have waited after my first interview but I feel very relieved he doesn't have any power on me now. I went to the interview alone and I told the officer everything I have been through. He even tried to kill my dog. It was a nightmare. 

Now Im sorprised because they sent me a letter asking me for my divorce decree when I was expecting a denial. Does anyone knows what it means?

On the other hand, I'm preparing my case to apply for VAWA without  a Lawyer. I have my medical evaluation that was submitted with my previous petition. Should I submit another? I have a copy but I understand that must be the original in an sealed envelope. I was 7 months ago, it's still valid I guess.

We had here on VJ two cases  like yours. Both told to the immigration  that they would apply for vawa. They went to the AOS interview withour their spouses. USCIS approved their  GC  based on vawa despite they did not file Vawa. One officer made a mistake issuing the GC  valid for two years but USCIS corrected the mistake and issued again the10 year GC.  Vawa petitioner receives just the permanent green card.
