Folks I strongly recommend that everyone with a pending VAWA application carry a copy of their USCIS receipt notice and a copy of their I-94. Having these documents on hand ensures that if stopped by

Wednesday -- time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

===========================================
IS THAT YOU?

 

Wife and husband are sitting together, sipping wine and watching a movie.

 

The wife suddenly whispers, "I love you."

 

Husband:  "Is that you or the wine talking?"

 

Wife:  "It's me, talking to the wine."

Three jokes in a row, this one being Sunday's Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

===========================================
ST. PETER AND THE MEAN WOMAN

 

Naomi had a reputation for being nasty, which followed her all the way to the Pearly Gates when she died.

 

"You said some pretty awful things to your husband," said St. Peter.  "Like when he bought that sharp-looking hat."

 

"I'm sorry," said Naomi, "but that thing made his ears look enormous."

 

St. Peter shook his head.  "And the skinny jeans?  He's got the legs for it."

 

"I'm sorry," she said, "but I can't get past his bony knees."

 

"Look," said St. Peter, "if you expect to get past these gates, we'll need a genuine apology."

 

Naomi took a breath.  "I'm sorry..."

 

"Good," said St. Peter.

 

"…but with feet like that, you really shouldn't wear open-toed sandals."

:P

Hi good evening  all 

please help me in this situation here is my info 

In 2012, I entered the US on a C1D visa, and later married a US citizen in 2019. I filed Form I-360 in 2020, but my marriage turned out to be abusive, leading to a divorce in 2022. Fortunately, my I-360 was approved in November 2022, and I received my green card in April 2023 without undergoing an interview. I've recently remarried in India in June 2023 and submitted a spousal visa application (Form I-130) in January 2024. As a parent of two, I'm concerned about meeting the eligibility criteria for naturalization. Is it advisable to apply now or wait for five years ? Am really worried about current situation going on 
. did they ask about Vawa and remarried is the issue . Am so confused and panic .Thank you for your advice

Thanks for posting.

You will surely received  exact insights from experienced members.

As for me,the fact that you are still a green card holder under IB6 (  approved vawa as a spouse or former spouse of a US citizen) qualifies you for filing the N-400 under three years rule.

But don't know whether your current marriage status nullifies it.

You should have posted this on the N-400 general forum.

Would appreciate @OldUser to chip in.
