2nd marriage while VAWA Petition Pending

[kokofee2 0]

KokO, you are mis-understanding Nigeria post, you came to the US on a K1, and you can only AOS from that petition, unless you were granted VAWA. In your case you wasn't granted VAWA, and you voided the appeal by getting married.

I came to the US on F-1 Visa 2003. I was in college for 4 years till 2007. Worked on OPT for a year was sponsored by a company for HIB but didn't get it because of the cap. I never came on K1. Don't know what that is. Got married while in Grad school in 2009 but it was very abusive and had to file VAWA.

Your statement was very RUDE Miss smarty pants and un-called for.

So???? It was also accurate.

Then you have been out of status since 2009. You will need to wait for your EAD card to work.

No. In 2010 i filed for VAWA after my US citizen spouse went in and cancelled her I130 petition. I had immigration attorneys specialized in abuse file my I130 for free since people in my situation are known to me broke. It was filed within 6 months after my US citizen spouse withdraw her petition and a month before we were legally divorced.

KOKO, since your VAWA was not approved, your out of status goes back to the date when you changed your immigration status. That was in 2009, when you got married and you were no longer in status on the H1B visa.

I think what NigeriaorBust meant was that if you originally entered the country on a K-1, you can't adjust status in any way besides AOS with the original petitioner or VAWA. If you didn't enter on a K-1 that will not apply to you.

Sorry filed VAWA in 2010 not 2003. I came on F-1 VISA not K-1 Visa.

Then that doesn't apply to you. A K-1 is a fiancé visa, and you posted in the AOS forum for people adjusting from K-1s and K-3s, hence the confusion. I'll request this thread be moved to the proper forum to avoid more confusion. Good luck!

Ooh! Thanks. I didn't know that.

No. I never got the H1B visa. I didn't get it because of the cap. I was on F-1, OPT, CPT, then F-1 again then AOS then VAWA, now a new AOS from second marriage. Get it??? No H1B, No K1 visas.
