Can I submit all VAWA forms without supporting documents? I'm still working on obtaining all evidence, but I'm desperate to return to work as my EAD has expired and my employer terminated my employment.

 

I have all forms, personal declaration, proof of marriage to a US citizen spouse, tax papers and Police Clearance filled out and ready to go!

 

Is RFE a bad thing? I need some more time to gather the bills, visit family members to get more photos (he took and deleted everything), and receive bills/our joint insurance, etc.

 

Have anyone done it this way??

This is not recommended. They might deny your petition if you don’t send evidence. It is not guaranteed that they will even send you an RFE if you don’t submit any evidence. I wouldn’t risk that.

Hello guys

I would like to get my divorce done but i am scarde to go court because of ICE presence there.

Is any way i can do the divorce without showing up in court?

My vawa still pending since feb 2017

Any answer will be appreciated

ICE is not present in court. Police is present in court. And if you have a pending petition, ICE is not looking for you. 

 

It depends on how simple your divorce is on whether you will have to go to a hearing or not. I didn’t have to go because there were no assets or children involved and it was very easy. But if there is anything to be divided or custody to be decided on, then you will have to go to a hearing.

Just an advise. When you file for divorce, make sure the divorce is based on abusive marriage. You can also send that as a evidence if required. However, you will have to prove the abuse to the judge in order get the divorce based on that.

It depends on which state you live in. In California for example you can only file based on irreconcilible differences. Every state has a different divorce law.

So finally after 1 year and four months, there is some movement on my I360 (I filed Feb 2017). I got a text saying my application has been updated and email saying that 'they ordered my new card" I had a previous I485 that was placed on hold so I did not apply for a work permit under C31. I had work permit under C9 then and renewed it in December of 2017. Based on what I have seen posted maybe they are sending me a new EAD under C31 even though I never applied for 1. This is my current status on the original USCIS site.

 

New Card Is Being Produced

On June 13, 2018, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number EAC**************, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

I've been seeing people receiving EAD under c(31) before Vawa approval.  I wonder if this is something they are changing internally since VAWA cases are taking so long? 

 

I filed Nov 2016, My Vawa was approved this March, and I still don't have any updates on my C31 EAD.  At this rate, it will have taken 2 years to get my EAD, people can't survive such a long time without working!  So if they are changing it, and they are going to be issuing work permits while Vawa is pending, it would be amazing.
