hi everyone, I am new here.

I have been married to a us citizen since 2017 .

we filled ,went for interview and after 2 years no response.

I filled mandamus and case was denied. They said my previous divorce Decree was not authentic.

Our attorney said i should get new authenticated divorce decree and paper works from the court so he can file a motion to reconsider which i got and my wife told the attorney not to proceed just like that.

She always want me to be dependent on her

All these while  it has been series of abuse to another. Name any abuse i have been through it. I have called the police on my wife 3 times and have also been to the therapist.

She will always apologize after every assault and abuse even cheated with her ex husband.

we have been married for almost 4 years

I am writing because she is apologizing again for messing up my timeline that we should refile. I feel like she might start again after we refile.

I just found this Vawa forum.

Can someone please tell me if i have a good chance with Vawa or just refile again with her. I am very confused because i have suffered a lot.

She is still asking for forgiveness again.

Please is the Vawa process more hard than the family base. I mean which option is easier from your expereinces?

Thanks

Sorry for what you are going through. We all have similar issues hence the forum and I’m thankful for it. I’m not a lawyer but this here seems like a great vawa case. Now is the time to file with a credible lawyer. You can forgive her if you want but at least you know if she plays with your life again you are safe. 
Vawa timeline is longer and can test your patience but I guess it’s worth it. No one loves to be stuck in limbo with no certainty of their future.

Good Saturday Everyone, 

I am 2020 filler, i am seeing few people getting approval from 2020 in different forum. My  case has been in initial review since april 2021, and the message is been showing "Correspondence has been received and uscis is reviewing it"... the same status updated again in June 2021 without no notification i was checking my status and saw same update. Should i expect a decision within 120 days? i am on 81 days since last update.. 

@sandranj 

 

Thank you ! 

Please let me know which other forums you follow for vawa. I want to keep up to date on approvals as well, I filed I360 in Nov 2019.

Hi @Reister

I wonder how long it took for you to receive the card (ead c31) after they changed your case status for i-360 to “card was mailed to me”.

 I am currently stuck on that status. It’s been a week after they updated the case status.

I’m a 2019 october filer i-360 .

 

I am September Filer . It took me 10 days to get the card .

What do you mean by she messed up your time-line? When a case is denied and you don't appeal or respond by the deadline, they can send your case to immigration court for removal proceedings. 

To check if you are on removal you can call, 

800-898-7180. 

If I were you,  I would just apply for VAWA. It's a long process yes,  but I'll take that anytime over relationships drama.

I thought medicaid is for low income families. If you are single with that income I doubt you qualify. Go to your states medicaid website and you will get all the information you need. Different states, different rules.

Just curious though, what is your profession?

Most of the states have income threshold for you to qualify . I doubt your’s fall under that . You can get private insurance though.

You should get all of your receipts if you applied to renew your EAD and go to your local DMV . They should be able to help you . Most of the states can request an info from USCIS to determine for how long they can give you D license . I have a friend of mine who renewed his CDL for 5 years with pending 765,485 form receipts In MD .

Why don't you get insurance from your employer?  Obamacare open enrollment is closed

PF has nothing to do with travel or your VAWA case.  It is a waiver to obtain benefits that is all.  

You are incorrect. Establishing a Prima Facie (PF) case is a good sign, although it does not guarantee approval, and not everyone gets it. USCIS issues a PF when a VAWA applicant has met all filing requirements. Although you can use the letter to obtain benefits, but it's not all about benefits. The key phrase here is "meeting all filing requirements." PF has a lot to do with VAWA, if not, USCIS won't be wasting their time and money issuing it.

 

Here is what USCIS says about PF: 

• "If you are a self-petitioning spouse or child and you meet all filing requirements, you will receive a notice (Prima Facie Determination Notice) valid for 150 days that you can present to government agencies that provide certain public benefits to certain victims of domestic violence."

If this were absolutely the case then people with PF won't ever be asked for RFE and we know that is not true.
