VAWA, Part 14

[MAK91 2]

Hello Everyone on Vawa part 14. I did my i485 interview in August 2016 based on approved i360. The IO ask me to submit the medical I did next day of the interview and he told me in couple of weeks they gonna give the decision. But after that there was no response for almost 2 years and 2 months. Then through the Congressmen office we got update, RFE asking to submit the medical again for the final decision and I did submit, after that for almost 8 months there was no decision. My lawyer try to get the update for about 3 months there was no response for request. After that we recieved a letter saying we didn't submit the medical and to avoid further delay submit the medical asap to get the decision. Mean while in that 3 months time I personally approach the  Congressmen office to get updates and in a month time recieved the response saying they put me in a line to schedule for the 2nd interview. Now here is the question? Right now I have 2 responses from USCIS 

1. Says submit the medical to avoid further delay for decision ( this response I received through my lawyer and responded by supervisor).

2. Says they put my case in a line to schedule for 2nd interview. (This response I received through congressmen office and responded by IO and also clearly state's that this info is pass to the appropriate supervisor, that means the response was from io). I need suggestions to understand what's going on with my case. Which response should I take, and what would probably can happen.  I really appreciate the help. Anybody.

This has happened to me b4, it was very scary that I called USCIS,  I thought my spouse had withdrawn my case, and the USCIS customers service connected me with am immigration specialist,  and he was the one that assured me that my case is still in tact,  that it was an error from USCIS system.... 

Do not worry, there are new that USCIS online system is in trouble! Regardless you can not relayed on updates there anymore or at least I never got mine updated!

Hi, I overstayed too but like 5 years. I didn’t use any SSN. My lawyer before told me that immigration can forgive us working under the table as long as we don’t falsify documents. My question is that, did you mean you’ve got TIN? or really SSN? As far as I know, isn’t SSN only for people who are here legally who can obtain that and TIN is for non-legal individuals? How did you obtain SSN if you weren’t legal yet at that time? I’m just curious, let me know how it goes. 

I entered legally with a J1, so i obtained the SSN right after, but it says "Valid for work with DS authorization only". All the employers i had, didn't care for asking if i was still having a legal status (i believe they kind of knew i don't"). So i just carried on working and filing taxes without any issue. But i know i will be asked when the time comes and i don't intend to lie, but i was just curious if anyone else had a similar situation at the interview.

Am sorry to hear this, I trust our everlasting father that there will be a quick resolution on your case, 

 

If I were you I will submit the medical again and wait for the interview too. Praying and sending you positive vibes your way!!

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.

File your vawa now with the documents you had gather for now to get the i360 vawa receipt , then later you can send more documents in to prove ur case ... I didnt wait to have all documents b4 I filed vawa , dont be afraid... once u file now u gonna get the receipt plus u secure a spot in the queue as far as date/month is concerned.... 

I would not suggest this, as u will receive RFE's numerous times. Increasing the amount of time it takes to adjudicate your VAWA. It is best to take ur time and put together a solid packet. It took me 6 months to put together everything for a solid packet. I was frustrated, disheartened, and angry in trying to collect everything. The end result for me was Prima Facie Issued - no problems, Zero RFE's, after 16 months VAWA approved.  After 4 months of VAWA approval, AOS Interview.

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

This here narrative would make a good and comprehensive affidavit if you work at it! Be sure to gather all supporting evidence to back your petition! You'll be fine! Get away from your spouse, you never what his next move will be...best to be safe! Wish you all the best dear! 😊👍

Thank you for your support. I think I have a good Affidavit (20 pages and very detailed). My attorney is expert in Vawa and she helped me with it. I’m trying to get divorce but my divorce attorney is not able to serve him the papers because we don’t know where he is living and he refuses to tell me. I already checked all the possible address but he is not living in none of them. I never know when he will show up at home. He is probably avoiding the divorce because he wants to make sure I won’t be able to marry again. For me is very clear that his goal is to deport me.

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!

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.
