Hi everyone good day to all I have a question about ADVANCE PArole I got an approval notice of my EAD and Advance Parole. But I have a question what does Unlawful presence mean? If I had overstayed my visa am I under unlawful presence so even if I travel outside the US I WIL not be allowed to coming back here even if I have the advance parole document?

It is always up to the immigration officer at the airport whether he/she lets someone back in with AP. Unlawful presence can be an overstay or illegal presence through illegal entry. Unfortunately nobody can tell you if they will let you in or not. A lot of people on this forum had no issues re-entering but it is always a risk. Sandra recommends to have at least VAWA approval before traveling but again, it is always up to the officer at the border.

Guys, I need you advice.... My attorney asks about $6200 for filing for I-485, I-765 and I-131(includes fee for GC $1225)...... that is so much money for me, I am wondering what should I do? continue working with him or find cheaper attorney or file myself? I have money problems now and can't afford it now..... But he is a great attorney! and I am afraid to make mistake and screw up my case which I waiting so long!!! 

HI, there are a lot of nonprofit organizations that can help you for free or very little money. Google them in your area, see this link, it may help you.

Also, look for catholic charities  that offer free immigration consultations, and organizations that offer free legal advice. They can at least give you a good consulting

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you all are doing well. I have two requests that I hope you consider. 

 

We all go though the VAWA threads to obtain information, timelines, Q&As and instructions to learn from other's experiences, so to make the research easier. I realize sometimes it's helpful to quote each other's posts to give a specific response, but Would you plz consider responding to a person using @username? specially with lengthy posts when quoted they just increase the forum size with useless pages!

 

2) everyone has the right to express opinions regarding relevant posts, let's agree to disagree and focus on straight to the point helpful posts.

 

These are only requests, that in my humble opinion may make updates more efficient.

Timeline:
