Greetings to everyone I have been reading and doing hours of research and numerous amount of calls to help me in this situation called VAWA.   Never filed any document to USCIS however I met my wife over a year and a half we got married in July that resulted in me moving in with her and her family things started off smooth but not until she bought my phone and open bank account for both of us. Things eventually got way possessive. It also got physical I honestly didn’t know what to do but I took a stand the last time she reacted. I called 911 yes I was emabarrasssed,  however the police department guide me to the Domestic Violence Agency who is currently helping me out in every way. Not a lot but it helps  I can’t get any legal help through the state bar association as they said we don’t have kids together and we haven’t married a year yet, also the catholic service they all require money,I don’t have any kind of financial help my wife also closed our bank account makes it even harder to purchase food items. I’m currently staying with a friend of mine because I was kicked out of the house I really need some help. I can not afford a lawyer neither Can I afford to file the forms that I need. Can someone please help here

Hello Everyone

 

I have been a silent reader of this forum for a minute and I must say the people on here are very friendly supportive and helpful. I have learned from the experiences of many here and I have decided to share my story and timeline.

 

Filed original i485 with i765  in August of 2016. Had to reschedule interview several times when things got really bad (Verbal, Physical, Emotional and Sexual Abuse). Contacted USCIS to request that i485 be held in Abeyance.

 

My Vawa Timeline

 

Feb 2017 - Filed i360

Feb 2017 - NOA Received

Mar 2017 - Prima Facie Received 

Sep 2017 - Prima Facie extension Received 

Sep 2017 - Applied for EAD renewal (current one expires in Dec)

Sep 2017 - Received 2 NOA's 1. Confirming receipt of i765 app and the other confirming that my biometrics was still good (no need to redo biometrics)

Nov 2017 - Received NOA that i765 app was transferred to Vermont Service Center.

 

This bit of information may be helpful to others with expiring EAD. I contacted USCIS on the 80th day about the status of my EAD given that my EAD and DL would expire soon. I was told that for category C09 there is an automatic extension so basically, the processing within 90 days is no longer stringently followed. He said this is applicable ONLY for timely filed applications before the expiration of the EAD. With that information, I was able to take the expired EAD and the USCIS NOA receipt for the i765 and use that to renew my drivers' license and maintain my employment. 

I know I have a long way to go because I see that there are persons here that are waiting from September 2016, I am hopeful to start law school in January and use that to pass the time until they get to my application. Best of luck to all the everyone here with their petitions. 

Today on the 90th day I got an update that New Card Is Being Produced. This was great news as my drivers' license was only renewed for a short period of time. Now I wait for an update on the i360 which will probably be a while. Keep the faith guys you will get some good news soon.

U are able to file VAWA urself with no help from a lawyer. All u have to do is print the necessary form, and ask a lot of questions on here on how to go about filing it. Also, u need evidences and proofs of domestic violence such as police reports, court or order of protections, and other medical or psychological evaluation you might have had for this reason. U need to be able to show marriage was in good faith and not for papers. U need to provide relevant documents such as bank statements, marriage certificate, pictures etc. Anyway, once u are ready ask questions on here and before u know it u will be good to go

Your  son has to file his l485 not because  he is 21 but  because  any derivative child inside the  U.S must file l485 after VAWA approval.

 

How did he get work  permit without having a pending  l485? You said  he was using  your  A number, it  doesn't  make sense what you are saying.He is your  derivative  but  to  have a work permit he  needs to have his own  l485 pending and a different A number.
