It's entirely up to you. Filing with or without an attorney won't change the outcome, but if you file without one, there's a chance you might make some mistakes when completing the form.

They may ask about your VAWA case, but usually they do not ask for details of the abuse . If needed, you can respond with, 'I’m happy to answer general questions, but I’d prefer not to discuss personal details from my VAWA case unless absolutely necessary.'

One of my clients, who is a green card holder, was sent to secondary inspection upon re-entry. They questioned him extensively about his VAWA case, particularly focusing on the dates of abuse he mentioned in his affidavit. Be prepared to answer detailed questions if you're in a similar situation. Carry a copy of your I-360 approval notice. If the officer asks about the abuse, you can say, " I’m glad to answer your questions, but some of this involves protected information related to my VAWA case. I’d prefer to speak with a supervisor regarding this matter," or just answer the questions; it's up to you.

He is from England.

Since you've filed EOIR-42B with the court, the immigration court typically has jurisdiction over your case. However, once you have an approved I-360, the immigration court may allow you to adjust status with USCIS, but you have to request that your case be administratively closed so that USCIS can process your I-485.

They weren't deporting individuals before, but with the new administration, nothing is certain anymore.

Hi folks, last week, a client of mine, who is a green card holder, returned from an overseas trip. He was referred for secondary inspection, where the officer repeatedly asked about his VAWA case. He had to provide details about the case from the moment he first met his wife. Things are changing significantly when entering the country.

I sent you a private message.

Under the new administration, anything can happen. I advised my clients not to travel, but one of them just returned from a trip to Turkey and had no issues reentering.

"I just posted a selfie, and people told me to get well soon". It was the best one yet, hahahaha

If you don't have any criminal conviction, you are good.

Your I-360 was approved, then you won't have any problem with your I-485 and waiver, if you get married before their decision.

The person will receive a C31 work permit only after their VAWA application is approved.

A conviction for petty theft may sometimes be classified as a Crime Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT). Such a conviction can make a person ineligible for a green card.

The person can ask to expedite, but they will likely deny the request. The person does not need an expedited I-360 to receive medical treatment and likely has prima facie eligibility to obtain free health care.

You should inform your local office that your I-360 has been approved and that your I-485 is being held in abeyance. Request that they forward your case to Vermont or Nebraska, where you originally mailed your I-360.

There is no problem at all.

VAWA applicants will no longer be required to pay filing fees for the entire application package. VAWA applicants will no longer be required to pay filing fees for the entire application package.

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 ICE, you can present official documentation from Immigration to verify your status. I have always advised my clients that they could travel abroad with advance parole. However, last week, I emailed all of them, advising against traveling abroad with advance parole for the time being. While VAWA petitioners do not trigger the 3/10-year ban, there is currently uncertainty about how CBP will handle cases involving VAWA petitioners who were previously without status and left the country, then attempt to reenter. Legally speaking, it should not pose an issue, but due to these uncertainties, I recommended they refrain from traveling abroad for now.

You need to file the application at the same location where you submitted your VAWA application. If you did not receive a notification stating that your case was transferred to Nebraska, you should file with Vermont. However, if your case was transferred, you should file with Nebraska.

Usually the petition returns to Vermont when USCIS intends to revoke approval. Send the letter to the office where your case is currently pending. Wait 10 days, then reach out to your congressperson to confirm if USCIS has updated your address. USCIS often mishandles address updates, and it's uncommon for them to make the change correctly.

I had case like yours. A Decree Nisi is a preliminary divorce order granted by a court in Nigeria following a divorce trial,you still remain legally married at this stage, to finalize they issue a Decree Absolute.File in Nigeria Form D36 to be made absolute.

Short trips, like vacations or business travel, are generally permitted. Immigration law specifies that absences exceeding six months but under one year may be problematic. An absence of more than 180 days but less than 365 days could disrupt continuous residence.This applies during the statutory period, where maintaining residence is essential.Such absences are presumed to break the continuity of residence. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3#:~:text=1.,the continuity of such residence.

Book an InfoPass appointment to obtain an ADIT stamp. I find it hard to believe they would go to schools for this, targeting children in schools for deportation seems unlikely.It just doesn’t seem plausible to me at al
