My friend I understand where u coming from, but I wanna say this, u were not facing the same circumstances as this person is facing right now, this person condition is different cos her i485 has been denied ,.. vawa receipt serves as a deportation relief... plus RFE does not necessarily increase timeline , some people here got RFE and their vawa time line is still 1yr and 5months,  1yrs 4months, and some people dony get REF but their time lines are still similar 1yr 6month 1yr 5month ,.. even if RFE takes time from the time line, maybe 1month extra.... if someone can wait 1yr 4month why cant the person wait 1month extra?... my dear I only made this suggestion becos of her condition... in my case I did the same  cos my ex was killing me and as soon as I got the vawa receipt 3weeks later I got RFE for bonified marriage and I replied to it and that was all for now... may God help her.. but I dont think she should wait and gather documents for months before she submits after she got i485 denial letter ... trump is doing crazy stuff now , I got videos I see every day abt it lately...my advice she should re submit  i485, i765, i360 file them in now

U can't tell me that I was not in the same situation as her. I was in the same situation and I ran for my life and had to hide in bushes, so I understand. Again with ur comments about Trump is true, but also Trump said they don't have to issue u a RFE and can automatically deny urapplication why take the chance.

I come from a similar situation,  in the beginning everything was a fairy tale then I discovered his drug abuse problem.my ex was from a rich family and he thought he could get away with everything he did to me, I was only 20-21 when all the abuse happened and I was afraid of leaving him because I had no work permit or somewhere to go in this country. Usually he would get mad at me for not  wanting to 'party' leading to domestic disputes. Under the influence he would get violent and lock me inside the apartment for days. When he was sober, he wouldn't remember he choked and punched me. I voice recorded him multiple times when I said I would leave and he said he would break my head if I left, thank goodness I didn't have a baby with him. My recommendation is, be strong and smart. Don't let your emotions play with your brain. It's a difficult time but soon it will be over and karma will take care of him. Now you just need to focus in the safety of you and your baby. 

 

Remember you don't need a divorce to qualify for VAWA. It's better you send everything sooner than later. I wish you strength and best of luck through this process. We are here in case you need more guidance or have questions about this long journey.

Dear I’m so sorry to hear that and thank you for your support. People with money and power think their money buy everything. I had friends giving me bad advices just because I have a “comfortable” life. Actually my life is miserable since I met him. He isolated me from everyone. I know the divorce doesn’t affects vawa but I need to move on and I don’t want to be married with him. I want to live away of him. I just want to live in peace and safe with my daughter. I hope immigration see all my evidence and I’m praying for Vermont Officers being training to recognize domestic violence because cops are not. Last time he threatened to destroy my life and almost punch for the second time my face I went to the police station and they did nothing.

I remembered someone asked me the date of my RFE and I told the person and the person said he thought they stopped RFE... in a vawa case they dont just deny people any how, vawa consist of 3 major things, 1, bonified marriage , 2, the abuse ,3 Good moral character.... if anyone is able to prove any of the following 1, or 2, USCIS would send RFE to prove the last one.. well we are all trying to suggest to her,... May God help her in jesus name...

Wow! Then you're all set!👏👏😊 you really don't need a divorce to file the petition! But it's great to get it done with still...also it's such a breath of fresh air to hear of a competent attorney! Happy for you!

Hey all so I’m in my 7th week waiting on NOA for my EAD renewal that I sent to Vermont. This waiting is getting stressful, I don’t know if I should write a letter or just keep waiting. I know it was received and some people have gotten an NOA in 7 weeks, but I’m concerned. What should I do? If it was to be returned I would assume it would be returned by now right?

Yeah it probably would be returned by now! If I remember clearly it was FeDaniela that received hers in 7weeks...or so! It may not be time to ring the alarm, but if you may, then ask your congressperson to enquire..but I believe it's coming soon!

Hi everyone!

I’m new here and today I’m beyond anxious because I will submit my vawa application. Like many of you I had a terrible marriage. I got married with the man of my dreams and right after our daughter born he completely changed. I found out that he would lie in all aspects of his life and he had several girlfriends. When I confronted him about his lies ( he would lie about everything) he became very cruel and threatened to jeopardize my immigration status and get custody of our baby daughter. I’m struggling for more than a year because he is very wealthy and powerful. He would chase me for the rest of my life if he knew about vawa and the problem is that I think he knows so I’m very nervous right now. I wish I could go back to my country with my baby but he doesn’t give me authorization to go back to my country with her. There was physical abuse ( he punched my face) but I don’t have police report because I was so scared that I couldn’t call the cops +

he seems to be so nice with everyone (he is the best actor ever) that I was afraid the cops would not believe on me and would put me in jail. I have medical report and pictures. I had black eye. He thinks that because he pays for everything and we have a good lifestyle he is protected and nobody would believe on me. Actually this is one of my biggest concerns. I beg him everyday for divorce and to let me go back to my country with my daughter but he totally ignores me. Most of the time I’m alone with my daughter and the nanny and he only shows up eventually. I live in constant fear because I never know when he will shop up. My daughter is not even 2 and she is so afraid of him. I do have a good job in a great law firm but I’m about to lose because my EAD is about to expire and I didn’t receive the new one yet. Since a year ago I’m collecting proves of his abuse ( I went to therapy once a week and I have 2 psychological evaluations), I have Affidavits from friends. I don’t have any messages of him threatening me. He is to smart to do that. All the. Times that he threatened me I was not expecting and I could not record. He has a girlfriend and I have videos of him in international trips with prostitutes in boats and parties but I know cheating is not considered abuse. I do have a good attorney that is helping me and she thinks I have a strong case but I’m so afraid of him. Our interview (green card for marriage) was schedule for this month and I think he will show up there and try to persuade the officer showing how he used to “spoil” me and that he pays a high end life for me and my daughter. He is so good actor and everyone believes in him. My biggest fear is o lose my daughter and this is the way he manipulates me. I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear but I’m really nervous. Please pray for me and my daughter. 

I can totally relate to this. They think we are a drama queen because they are best actors in hiding their true colors. They don’t realize the mental torture and anguish we had to deal with everyday. He is also threatening to attend our interview next week and said he will ask for a separate one himself and talk about me. I pray that God give us more strength in this difficult times.

Hello everyone,

Given my immigration status, I’m worried I might be detained by police should I go for police clearance for VAWA. I need someone to allay my fear. My attorney told me to have it done in Dekalb, Fulton or Atlanta. I live in Marietta ,Georgia by the way. Are the police concerned about my immigration status?

Hey Everyone! 

I am just adding my timeline for reference. I had done concurrently filing of I130, I131,I765 and I485 in March of 2018. 

On July 13, 2018 I filed I360 VSC 

Got Prima Facie on August 6, 2018 and also requested that they keep my I765, I131 and I485 open which they did. 

I received my EAD based on I765 in June 1, 2019 after a long and stressful wait. 

 

Hi 

1. when you say you asked them to keep your 485 open .. what do you mean ...

did you mean you asked the officer at the marriage based interview to put them on hold ? 

 

2. Why did you receive your EAD after 1.5 years almost after ? 

Why such a huge delay ? 

 

Any of your answers will help a lot 

 

thanks

I will know my faith on my interview next week if they will hold the case or send a denial notice. @sandranj if they send a denial and we continue to work under cancelled c09 ead and the employer doesn’t know about it, will it affect the vawa case or subsequent i485 adjustment? Thank you!

USCIS forgives the time you worked without work permit BEFORE filing Vawa,but when you file a petition with the USCIS you should not break any immigration law anymore.
