THE COOPERATIVE DRUNK

 

A drunk was brought into a police station.  He pounded his fist on the counter and said, "I want to know why I've been arrested!"

 

The sergeant said, "You have been brought in for drinking."

 

The drunk said, "Oh, that's all right, then.  Let's get started!"

Hi Everyone ,

Here is my case details- 

I filed VAWA in December 2020. Replied to first RFE in March 2021. Last year October USCIS sent another RFE while i visited my home country using my advance parole. But the RFE was returned to USCIS because the post office could not deliver it as it has my previous attorney’s office address which she already closed her office last year August and didn’t even notify me. Since November 2022 i have been trying to contact USCIS requesting them to send copy of missing RFE. Sent so many written letters, updated my address, raised 4 service request but did not get any reply from them. 

This year April 2023 my I-485 AND  VAWA both got denied. I hired a new attorney, we filed I-290B same month. Attorney contacted Congressman and Ombudsman regarding missing RFE but the only reply we got USCIS is still doing background checking.

Now, yesterday my attorney called me and asked me to leave US before 3rd October as i have been out of status since this April and occurring unlawful presence staying beyond 180 days past. If i continue staying here while waiting to reopen I-290b then the denial can result in 5-10 years bar from entering the U.S. 

i am really stressing here a lot. All these years been just waiting and waiting. Lost my job this year since my both I-485 and vawa got denied due to missing RFE

My question is-

1) Do i really need to leave US by this 3rd October? 

2) If i just continue staying here and wait until both I-290B reopens, will that be any issue getting 5-10years banned entering U.S? 

2) We tried everything to get missing RFE copy from USCIS but did not get any response from them, is there any other way i can try to get copy of missing RFE?

 

Please advise as this is really stressing me out a lot. I really don’t want to just leave everything and go back to my home country.

Guys, I requested my senator to inquire about my I485 card (my VAWA case was approved a year ago) and today I got an update that my I485 was denied. Has anyone had this before? Why is it denied and what do I do now?

I will see what the reason for denial is and then hopefully can re apply again. Can it be that they can “unapprove” my VAWA with I485 denial? Or my VAWA approval can’t be reversed and is basis for a new application?

See why you were denied. Remember just because you have approved VAWA does not mean you get approved GC. They are not connected.

Thank you. I assume my advanced parole is no longer valid now?

Our last joke worked really well!  Here now is our Semiweekly Semiofficial VAWA-Thread Joke:

=======================================================

THE PSYCHO'S SNAKE

 

A zoologist, a doctor, and a lawyer were kidnapped by an evil psychopath.

 

The psychopath said, "I'm going to get each of you to hold the most venomous snake in the world for ten minutes.  If it doesn't bite you, I'll let you go.  If you refuse, I'll shoot you."

 

The zoologist approached the snake carefully.  Using his knowledge, he tried to grab the back of the snake's head.  However, the snake was quicker, and his hand got bitten before it got 2 inches from the snake.  He fell dead almost instantly.

 

The doctor examined the snake, tried to find the best position to stop the snake from being uncomfortable, and held it.  The snake bit him, and he fell over dead.

 

The lawyer just muttered, "Screw it," and held the snake.  The snake stayed still and didn't bite him.  He held it for a full ten minutes, and the psychopath set him free.

 

After the lawyer left, the psychopath looked at the snake and asked, "Why didn't you kill that last one?"

 

"Professional courtesy," murmured the snake.

:P
