VAWA

[UKRUSA 2]

ARE YOU SITTING DOWN>>>

AFTER 21 Months I-360 Approved !

Feelings -

1. Relief for the moment.

2. Tired - Mentally and physically

3. Anger - USCIS added to the overall frustration by changing rules on me since filing adding to the time to be approved.

Now I can apply for work permit. Not permitted to file when I first applied 21 months ago.

I'll have many on my side to get this process for abused people streamlined in the future for others.

UKRUSA, yeeeaahh!! it seems like an approval time!! ive seen like 5 approvals for the last couple weeks:))

LostinNJ said before "She asked when was the last time I spoke to my spouse, and asked if we were divorced, I told her no, she said why is there a divorce decree in the file, so I told her its from my spouse's prior marriage, then she apologized. She gave me back my passport and said I should receive the green card in 2 to 3 weeks. "

So i guess divorce does not have to be final at the time of interview, correct?

Congrats on your approval, and your divorce does not have to be final before you can move to the next step, just be prepared to answer why you did not have a divorce, sometimes they ask, sometimes they don't. But you do not have to have a divorce to file I-485 good luck on your final step.

Ive got a question,

does my divorce have to be final in order to proceed to the next steps, which is filing i485 and so on?

Hi there, no, you should go ahead and file the I-485. The sooner you do it, the quicker you'll get your green card. I'm so happy for you, congratulations.

Thanks to everybody for congratulations and support

I'm going to apply for fee waiver request for I-485.

The poverty guideline is $10830 a year, which is $905.5 a month.

So my question is, if i have income more than that, does it mean that i'm automatically not eligible for a fee waiver?

Thanks.

Hi guys my vawa was approved in august 14 /2009. I did applied i 360, i485 together at the vermont center. In january i received a denial letter for my i 485 they claimed that i did not attend biometric appointment hence they declared my case abandoned. the truth is i did not receive any biometric notice till now. So my question is which is the fastest way to get my case back on track is it appealing or refilling a fresh a new i 485 any help will be appreciated. I have 30 days to appeal

hello everyone.im now getting all the evidences for my VAWA case.im in removal proceedings.i have a 9 months old baby.i left the house and spent 3 weeks in emergency shelter for domestic violence together w the baby.i am still married to USC ,but already applied for divorce.we were married for 4 years.i dont know what my chances are.here is what i have to prove the abuse.

no police report,cause i just left the house and went to the shelter 150 miles away from the city i lived + i was really scared that i wont be able to prove to police, but he would tell the social services to take the baby,since by myself i cant afford everything he needs

so what i have: letter from the shelter

letter from my case manager that she aware of the situation and trying to help me

therapist letter w phychological evaluation

records from the emergency room that i was pushed by my husband and fell down the stairs,and my xray of the head to determine

injuries( nothing serious was found)

social worker i was seeking help in a shelter,letter from her

another doctor evaluation,the one who reffered me to the emergency room,saying that due to the domestic violence i had health problems

letter from the child protective services that my husband is not allowed to contact the baby for 30 days (shelter informed them)

councelor letter that im attending domestic violence support group

witness statement( 2 of them)

my 15 pages statement

i found that im pregnant when i alredy left my husband,but i got a miscarriage

( so letter from the doctor stating the miscarriage)

PLUS MY BABY IS SICK,HE HAS SOME CONGENITAL ANOMALIES,AND TREATMENT HE IS GETTING IN US, WONT BE AFFORDABLE BACK HOME,THEY JUST DONT DO IT,MY LAWYER IS TRYING TO PROVE THE HARDSHIP.

PLZ ,WHAT DO U THINK,WHAT ARE MY CHANCES
