VAWA, Part 11

[Mnmnm 11]

Can anyone please explain, if the time for I-485 adjudication is specified to be taking 12.5 - 24 months, say in LA county, does that mean it will take that much time from when the local office receives the file from NBC?

Thank you 🙏

Hello,

This is a bit of a long story, but i urgently need some advise.

I am a British citizen who met an American man in Europe, We fell in love and got married. We lived about 5 years in Europe and had 3 children together, my marriage to him was not exactly a happy one, i learned alot of negative aspects about him that i didnt like. 

But since we had young children together i decided that i would try to tolerate him and hope that things would turn around. 

Unfortunately, things only deteriorated and i eventually told him that i wanted to leave him and i was sick and tired of his behavior.

Which included drinking, being abusive towards me and not helping me do anything, he did absolutely nothing to the point that on top of me having to do everything at home and watch the children, i would also have to go work full time, while he sat at home and did absolutely nothing.

He ended up making me a bunch promises, that if i gave him another chance that he would change. And he convinced me to come to USA with him.

Saying that he would be more productive in USA, since that is his homeland and he knows how to operate in it better than in Europe. (I was so stupid to agree to this, but this was someone i once loved and i still cared for despite what was going on. I was just hoping for the best.)

I entered USA on a 90 day visa waiver. He told me to gather my paper work and have all documents that needed translating to be translated. I went for my medical examination and did everything that i was able to do on my part to file for my adjustment of status.

The next part was on him and he failed to do anything. He kept giving me excuses for why he was unable to do it at that time. If its not his salary, its his taxes, if its not taxes, it was something else. I put a lot of time and effort into trying to gather everything for nothing. He told me that he would get to it if i gave him a chance to settle in abit.

and since my visa was good for 3 months i agreed.

 

To cut a long story short, i have now over stayed my 90 day visa waiver by 6 years. He continued to lie to me about fixing my paper work with more excuses, was abusive and controlled every aspect of my life now. He caused me alot of psychological trauma, by bringing me to this country and turning me into an illegal alien, who cant do anything.

Cant work, drive, no bank account, no money of my own, scared of police or any other government agencies. i just felt like a zombie. I could have just gone home to the UK and everything would have been instantly normal for me. But we have children, which complicated matters and it was so impossible for me to just take all the kids and get on an airplane. 

 

I told him that i couldn't live like this anymore it was effecting my state of being and my health and that i wanted a divorce. Of course he tried to make more promised, but i was no longer agreeing to anything. He threatened me by saying me if i ever mentioned divorce again he would take me to ICE and have me deported or that he would kick me out on the curb, he told me if ever left and took the kids he would have me arrested and locked up for kidnapping. 

 

He took all of my paper work.... passport, birth certificates, kids paper work.... everything and hid it. He closed access to internet and phones, so i unable tell anyone what was going on.

This scared me to the point that i just ended up running away from him. I went to stay with a close friend of mine. During this time even though i was warned not to contact him, i ended up contacting him because we had children. 

Because of my contact with him, he ended up finding out where i was staying and pressured me into returning just for enough time to file for a divorce together, so he said. I felt like once again he had something over me, and to avoid causing problems where i was staying, i stupidly agreed to go.

 

As a result of this, when i got there it ended up in him taking me against my will to Homeland Security Department and handing me over to ICE, who arrested and detained me for violating my 90 days visa waiver.

I spent over a week in jail, while my friend was trying to find lawyers who could get me out. In the end only 1 lawyer suggested that we try and request ICE to grant a post-order of supervision and provide documentary evidence showing reason for why i should merit humanitarian consideration.

In the outcome ICE decided to to give me a chance to file for a VAWA petition and released me on 'Order of supervision'

 

I am so traumatized, overwhelmed and just shocked by the recent events that i do not know where to begin. I just want rid of this man and his grip over me. I know that I need a lawyer and i need to file for a VAWA asap. But i also need to sustain myself in the meantime and pay for these expenses. 

I'm hoping somebody here would be able to give me some advise.

What is the process of filing for a VAWA, i don't have any police records as i was afraid to call them in case it resulted in me getting deported. And i don't have any medical records.

 

Can anyone with a similar scenario as mine share the out come or progress of their VAWA petition?

 

I was told i can apply for a work permit with 'order of supervision' document. But its not clear to me what type of supporting documents they require from me.  Do they require a letter from me stating the below? 
A. Existence of a dependent spouse and/or children in the United States who rely on you for support;
B. Existence of economic necessity to be employed; and 
C. Anticipated length of time before you can be removed from the United States

 

Am i able to get a state ID with my 'order of supervision" document. 

 

All and any other advise would be so much appreciated.

Thank you.

NAPERI You said Uscis denied your AOS then file a new one now.  The USCIS officer provided you with a wrong information, of course you can  file VAWA with your AOS still pending.
