The prior poster may have been making assumptions about why VAWA cases are handled so carefully but he had a (non-idiotic) point, VAWA cases ARE reviewed very carefully and that takes time. Your time

i applied for vawa since june 2011,got prima facie a week later,since then,no touch, no RFE's,are there people like me too? :help:

To my knowledge VAWA claims are handled very carefully and It does take time (hopefully as much as possible)...the reason is obvious: too many fraudsters from certain countries come over here for immigration benefits and ruin the life of their American husbands by pretending they're beaten up.

***** several name calling posts removed. You are free to disagree with advice/ opinions given here, but stay civil! Acceptable part of one post returned below *****

the OP asked a very precise question and the answer is that..It does take a lot of time: Vawa cases go under extra scrutiny that adds up to the normal waiting timeline and the fact that many fraudsters take advantage of that is as clear as the sun.
