hi everyone. i'm also filled VAWA and waiting. i filled in January 2009, RFE February 2009 , got prima facie March 2009 and now waiting...

my question is i was in immigration jail, is it so bad. my wafe abused me a lot but i didn't know about VAWA, so i didn't call police or even didn't tell my friend much about what's going on in my family life. so terrible i was under 100% control, like toy...so sad. i was going to fill for asylum but my exwife's mom told me better merry than applay for asylum. my was so lovely at first, o God!!! so what do you people think should i tell VAWA's comand about it??? and if it's harm that i was in immigration jail??? i'm so really tired...

This comment is really out of line. While a prima facie determination on an I-360 is not an outright approval, it is the result of a review and a determination that on its face the alien appears elig

That's because some people are ignorant and comment on things they don't know about just for the heck of it, obviously this person have no clue what a prima facie is.

What was the reason for being in immigration jail?

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

"my wafe abused me a lot but i didn't know about VAWA"

Men are claiming Abuse??

yes, men can and are abused! why should there be a double standard?! in fact, yesterday at the shelter there was this guy who shared his horror abuse story of wife stalking him, cutting his tires, tracking down each placed he moved at (3 in 6 months) etc. and causing so much damage to the point where he could not hold a job for 6 months!!

it does happen, and there's quite a stigma to a man saying it, as you just proved.

VAWA requires that the alien demonstrate that the marriage was bonafide but the spouse was abusive (either emotional or physical). The fact that your wife divorced you and that rendered you out of status and subject to detention shouldn't matter as long as you can demonstrate that your intentions entering the marriage were genuine and not for immigration benefit alone and that you suffere abuse by your former wife.
