They will not return the money if you file something wrong.

Do not send the medical exam without them asking you. You don't need an attorney. USCIS won't take your ex's letter into account.

You need to file I864 W, not I-864. I doubt that USCIS called your attorney.

It's mandatory to inform USCIS of the new address. Tell the truth.

In addition to what I stated previously, it also applies to naturalization.

It doesn't make any difference. I would say 95% of my clients who filed VAWA were still married when USCIS approved their green cards.

Change your attorney , clearly he has no clue about immigration law.

It’s not necessary to be divorced.

Ask to speak to a Tier two .

You and your kids would be here without status if Vawa is denied. They can get deported. They can adjust their status if they get married, considering they are adults.

I assume that you listed your children on your VAWA petition. Once VAWA was approved USCIS issued a “Notice of Dependent Child” if a minor. If they are under 21 years old they can apply for adjustment of status as a derivative, submit a copy of your I-360 approval, a copy of your GC, etc. If they turned 21 then they should apply for AOS as principal applicant.If your children don't live in the U.S. they have to go to consular processing.

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

Contact your congressperson ASAP to inquire on your behalf.

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. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/B9 - Battered Spouse or Child/Decisions_Issued_in_2015/JAN072015_07B9204.pdf

If they decide not to expedite, they won't inform you about it.

They will ship the form to Nebraska, if your AOS was transfered.

You have to send the form I765 where is your I-485 (Vermont or Nebraska)

If they transfer they will let you know.

I've had cases where they scheduled biometrics seven months after they received the AOS.

You can divorce now, you just can't remarry while the I-360 is pending.

Mail sometimes goes to the previous address when the address is updated, they are messy. Ask your congressperson whether your address has been updated after mailing the new address.

If USCIS didn't transfer your file to Nebraska then submit the package to VSC.

Form I-765, copy of the work permit ( both sides), two passport size pictures, copy of I-94, copy of the passport or any governmen photo ID and a copy of the I-485 receipt

Vermont approved the Vawa petition (l360) the l485 is adjudicated by the local office,you need to be inside the U.S to file for adjustment of status.

First and foremost, the I-751 WAIVER is not a VAWA petition, it is a waiver based on abuse. You messed up filing form I360. You refiled form I751, WHY DID YOU FILE FORM i-360? if good faith was the basis for the I-751 denial, what steps would you take to prove bona fide marriage in your VAWA claim? Hire an attorney, your case is messy. filed both I-751 vawa (i got conditional green card that expired) and I-360 vawa. I-751 was denied. I filed another one to get my I-551 stamp to travel and work, it's still pending as I filed only few months ago. In a meantime my i-360 was approved, but I am abroad. What are my options? USCIS may deny or approve pending I-751 vawa or maybe I just withdraw it? I still have valid stamp until Uscis denies my application, which can happen soon or in a few years. I'm not sure how it works with I-485? How much time do I have to file if I come back to the states in the nearest future? Or maybe I should not file at all?
