Denied because 204(g) married while in deportation,, rfe was about gmc

Probably you filed your case without submitting "the bona fide marriage exemption”. You MUST request in writing the marriage exemption and submit this document along with your case.  Refile the case. Gather affidavits from family and friends and submit the bona fide marriage exemption. Here is one decision where the person failed to submit the marriage exemption.

Thank you, 

My case was eventually approved if you look at the decision,  I filed 290b and they approved it, and I requested the exemption, but at first they were not satisfied

Sunday means that it's time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

=============================================
ONE LAST WISH

 

Lying on his deathbed, an elderly man made his final request to his wife:  "Honey, I'm almost out of time, and there's something I'd like you to do for me when I'm gone."

 

She nodded her head and said, "You can count on me.  Anything you ask, I'll make sure it's done."

 

"I want you to marry my buddy, Jacob," he said, his voice filled with emotion.

 

Astonished, his wife replied, "Jacob?!  But I thought you couldn't stand him!"

 

He smiled and looked into her eyes as he answered, "That's precisely why..."

Mostly it would be yes/no questions. They are not suppose to ask anything about the abuse. if they do you have all the right to ask for a supervisor. 

Let me encourage someone here.atimes it might look so hard that you will think it is the end of the world but I know a God that can change impossibilities to possibilities.i got interviewed on 9th of January 2024 and that should be the easiest interview ever.four days after,I got a message that my i-485 has been approved.

Hi everyone, Newbie here..

Can anyone help me with figuring out, whether I am within the processing time of my VAWA case or not?

 

filed I-360: Sept 2020

     Approved: March 2023

RFIE medical I-485 from NBC Lee’s Summit director April 2023

RFIE Response received June 2023

 

my lawyer Says that there is no way to get an update on my I-485 and has no idea where it might be.. that doesn’t sit well with me. Can anyone enlighten me as to how much longer, or what to expect next? I just want to visit home.. it’s been 11 years.

 

Thank you 

 

 

Contact your congressperson ASAP to inquire on your behalf.

I have promised myself to keep up with this forum even after winning.i could remember when my abuser wife packed everything we had and moved out of the apartment when I was at work one day and it was unannounced.she left to another state and will not picked my calls for weeks.this was when I already had interview schedule with her.i felt like killing myself but reading comments here really helped my faith in God.i pleaded with her when started picking calls,bought her ticket to fly down and she did not attend the interview.i was denied in 2019 and letter to leave the country was sent to me.2020,I started vawa,I got prima facie for 2 and half years and in December 2023,I got my employment card

Hello all, I wrote an expedite request to Vermont for my EAD and I485 (with 290B pending ). Do they really respond and expedite?

this morning I went the congressman office and did another expedite request with them. My employer already told me to stop work next month when my current EAD expires 

 I had several cases they expedited, but  if they didn't expedite you wouldn't know.

The questions were based on all the forms I have submitted from the beginning.there were no new questions really.be composed and let God have the way

Hello guys. I sent last week a request to expedite my i485 (I filed 290b and i601 they asked) to Vermont . Today I saw that the case was transferred. However I sent my i290 RFE which was the I601 receipt notice straight to my local office because my RFE said after receiving a receipt notice for i601 to send it straight to the local office. Now what did they transfer here? 
usually they transfer cases for people who applied they i485 to vermont and uscis transfer it to local office. But in my case everything is at the local office already, to which office they transfer it again ?
