VAWA, Part 16

@dreamer1 and @designguy   You guys are posting in the VAWA thread. The public charge issues do NOT apply to those filing VAWA.

@Villanelle does that mean as a vawa applicant filing the I-485, one do not need to file the I-864W  ? 

[Villanelle 4,121]

VAWA applicants must file the 864W.  Nothing has changed. VAWA petitioners are exempt from 864 requirements and file 864W. 

 

For those unaware there were proposed changes to the 864 and affidavit of support guidelines for both those adjusting in the US and those using consular processing. The changes were to go in effect on Oct 15 requiring people who were subject to the affidavit to use updated 864 forms as well as an additional form the 944. The new forms were much stricter and many people were distraught by this. Today a court blocked them from going in to effect. So while it is interesting none of the proposed and now blocked changes apply to those filing under VAWA so a conversation about the new rules does not belong in the VAWA thread.

I have a problem. I sent in my FAFSA and it got resent because i did not provide my SSN. The thing is i do not have an SSN. as a qualified battered immigrant i was told to select that i was an eligible noncitizen and put in my Alien Registration Number, which i did. So, i don't get why they resent it asking for my SSN? i filled the paper application and mailed it in

i think it might be because i did not include the prima facie notice with the application. I've done a lot of reading even on the qualified battered immigrants section on the fafsa site. It doesn't say that you need to have an SSN to apply. In fact they even acknowledge that when we aply that we would not pass the DHS test. Then it goes to say that the fafsa admin needs to examine the documentation to determine whether the person applying is indeed eligible, which i am. My prima facie notice has not expired yet.

if i haven't got a prima facie letter within a month

Does it indicate that I will be getting a RFE very soon?

Fafsa is a loan for education right? Enlighten me as I might interested in applying one? Does it affect vawa?

May be as uscis think the documents you submitted are not enough to issue you a prima facie or you will receive one very soon

Hi...

I applied Nov/2017 and I’m currently waiting USCIS action on my RFE response for 110 days now.

 

My question is: I’m on my 2nd EAD/AP. Should I renew it again by now? It will expire 02/2020 and I need it to keep my DL and working also.

 

Thank you and have a great weekend!

yes it's a loan that you do not need to pay back. it doesn't affect vawa i think? anyways if your i360 is pending or already approved you qualify to apply for fafsa. The prima facie you're given entitles you to certain limited public benefits if i'm not wrong and the fafsa is one of those. I think my mistake was not including my prima facie notice with my fafsa application that's why it got sent back. I'll resend it with the prima facie and see if that fixes it and will report back.

Please renew it, just in case there are delays. USCIS is highly unpredictable and for the sake of your job and driver's license. 

Looking at Feb 2020 as your expiry don't delay any further and I'd suggest you do it right away.

 

I hope this helps.

Thank you it makes sense

How long does it take to get a prima facie? The I-360 can be approved without previous prima facie or RFE?
