VAWA, Part 8

[Sandra93 8]

Hey Guys,

 

My lawyer just called me and said she got my receipts. I didn't see it yet because she was leaving her office already but when I get it on Monday I will let you know exactly what it says. She said my fee waiver (I-912) was accepted. 

 

So here, I can finally start building my timeline:

 

December 20th - Packet mailed (I-360, I-765, I-485, I-131, I-912);

December 22nd - Vermont received my packet;

February 10th - Notice of Action received by my lawyer's office and fees waived; 

 

TBC... ?

Yay!! One step down!! No more stressing about the receipt. ???

Just out of curiosity, have any of you ever heard of someone who successfully got their i-485 expedited after VAWA approval? I know it is very rare that USCIS expedites AOS but I was just curious if anyone has ever had success with it or what potential valid reasons would be to have it expedited.

I'm glad you finally got it as soon as you have the receipt numbers create an account on USCIS website to keep track xx

Hey sandra93,

could you please tell me what you used as proof to get the fees waived. I'm planning on doing that as well and need a little help to ensure it gets approved.

 

Thank you!

Looks like we have a pretty similar timeline. Fingers crossed!

I applied for a fee waiver under the condition that my income was below 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. My work permit expired in January and so I don't work anymore, but I was working at the time of submitting my application and I used my pay stubs to prove that I didn't make more than 150% of the FPG. They usually want you to submit pay stubs for the past 2 months. There is other conditions you can apply under like:

1) if you receive means tested benefits, or;

2) if you have a financial hardship;

and you can read about them in the instructions for the form I-912. I will link it below:

https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-912instr.pdf?download=1

They tell you exactly what kind of documentation they will accept as proof. 

 

Hope this sheds a little little light on the subject,

I filed mine under financial hardship explained that I had no income after losing work and included a sheet of my expenses , bank statement, legal expenses.

[Lunalotto 4]

Hello, i got the RFE 2 days later saying that they have a name on file and my passport has a different name so i had to send proof of true name, i sent my passport again, drivers license, marriage certificate and papers stamped by a clerk saying im getting divorce and want my name restored to maiden name.

And in regards of fee waiver i asked for mine for financial hardship and sent my work permit cancelation and hospital bills along with 4 pages explaining my current situation

[aquila 218]

Please does anyone have an idea on how to obtain a local police record? Do I have to contact the police in my new safe area or the police I lived with my abuser? Does it contain upcoming court hearing dates or anything of that sort displayed in it? I'm asking because I'll be going to the family court to obtain a protective order so I've an upcoming court date? 

I really don't know whether that will be in it. Thanks

Has anyone here worked on an expired work permit? Was your VAWA still approved?

Thanks for the response.

I have my wage verification form and pay stubs but I haven't worked since September , lots of unpaid medical bills as I was pregnant and didn't have insurance. And my baby is ill she has insurance but insurance doesn't cover everything a baby needs. She collects WIC and as do I. And a letter from my therapist office stating that I am seen on a sliding scale, only pay 20 versus the regular $150 per session. Will that be enough?

Iwillsurvive  I had a few AOS expedited.

[Sandra G. 5,016]

Cameron3 you CANNOT work without EAD after filing  VAWA, this is a good reason  for you to have your  AOS  denied.

 

VERMONT  does not adjudicate  inadmissibility, that being said you  can have the VAWA perition approved but  you can have your AOS denied.
