Hi Fam!

After I filed 360,485, and ead with ap, I had a biometrics appointment for 485 on December 1st.

Same day it showed online that fingerprints were taken and applied to my case.

Now I just got another biometrics appointment again for i485 for January. Why 2nd time? what's happening? 🙄

They may need to retake your prints do to an error when taking your prints the first time or The second point mente notice may have been sent to you by mistake. Since 2014, USCIS has erroneously scheduled some customers for more than one biometric appointment. 

Since you have already attended an ASC biometric appointment, you might not need to go to a second biometric appointment. Call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 to confirm if you do or do not need to return to the ASC to have biometrics collected again. 

I do not like the way VAWA is thrown as a solution to any type of marital issue. Because of misuse of VAWA this program may be scrutinized and altered which would penalize people suffering real marital abuse.

To be honest you don’t have to many options here but to answer your question accurately, please reply to the following: 
1. What Visa did you enter the USA on? 
2. Have you ever overstayed a US visa in the past? 
3. Did you come here with the intention of getting married? 
4. How long have you known him?

5. Have you suffered any abuse? If so please give a couple of examples.

6. When and where is the AOS interview? 

7. does he have diagnosed mental issues or this is only your interpretation?

Hi, 

Quick Question? DO I have to go to any office or any place to get my FBI check or I can send this form on my own? 

What form are you talking about? FBI checks are performed by USCIS, immigration background checks are comprised of 3 parts 

-IBIS name Check

-FBI fingerprint check 

-FBI Name check 

All you have to do is show up to your biometrics appointment and get your fingerprints taken.

Friends, it's fine to have faith, but ~3 pages of posting about hope & faith is a bit much, please.  Thanks in advance for your awareness, and of course good fortune to everyone.

Thank you TBoneTX, last night I almost sent you a message about it.

Thanks for replying back as I always like to learn,but what kind of new information and from where ?? Is it that the abusive spouse sending all sorts of negative things to vawa unit ...are these the new information that makes them to want to revoke the petitioner vawa application,you said if the officer in the field receives new information that was not available to the VSC at the time of approval ? Please could you break it down ...what do you mean by that and you said the The memorandum must state what the new information is and how USCIS obtained it.please break it down for me ....thanks

It’s simple, it can be any verifiable information that the officer deems relevant enough to revoke the approved Vawa.

@sandranj I don’t understand this vawa revocation..how can the revoke vawa approval after 7 years ...that petitioner might have even gotten his or her green card and they revoke the vawa approval ,I Dnt understand ..they approved vawa 2012 and they send intent to revoke 2019,if I’m right that vawa applicant would have even received his or her green card ,so that means people that got approved and get their green card aren’t save too..that concept is somewhat retarded to me ..you sending intent to revoke after 7 years or I’m getting something wrong here...have even seen some cases like that on avvo.com ..revocation after 5 years ...so that person green card will be revoked too ?? Please house I need an answer to this ,I Dnt understand,Sandra have you ever come across that kind of scenerio before 

I am not to sure to understand your post. You need to post clear facts, is the person a green card holder or not? 

A person with an approved Vawa can indeed get their approval revoked if an officer in the field receives new information that was not available to the VSC at the time of the approval of a VAWA self-petition, and that new information leads the officer to reasonably believe that a VAWA self-petition should be revoked, the officer must write a memorandum to his or her Supervisory Immigration Service Officer (SISO) explaining why the VAWA self-petition should be reviewed for possible revocation. The memorandum must state what the new information is and how USCIS obtained it.

@sandranj Hi Sandra just wanted to say hi and thank you for all the help you provided me in 2015. God bless you

Had adjustment of status interview on 02/27 and was told by the Officer to wait for couple of weeks for the approval. I got text and email notifications today that new card is being produced. Thanks God! 

Will post once the Green card arrives. 

Good luck to everyone!! 

Congrats

I already talk to 2 nonprofit organizations for legal representation if USCIS deny my case.

Whatever you told the immigration officer about the fraud investigation will be forwarded to the agncy investigating you for fraud. If later on, you get charged and/or convicted, your chances of getting a green card will be very slim. USCIS might just hold your case until the fraud investigation is complete and then make a decision.

If you incriminated your self in any way during the interview, that alone would be enough for USCIS to deny your green card petition.

Right now you are in the waiting stage, all you can do now is wait for the fraud investigation to be over and wait to hear from uscis. If you get another interview notice, I suggest get a qualified attorney to accompany you.

Hi everyone

Is it possible to use AP twice or more? Anyone tried that?

Oh my... what a terrible experience.

You said you guys married two years ago, so is it the time for her to file ROC?

If so, can you get an infopass to let the officer know about the situation that they can decline her ROC?

This isn't a ROC case, she doesn't have a green card. 2 weeks after the marriage he found out his wife fraudulent intentions.

it really depends on what's on the police report. When you will be asked by USCIS if you were in possession, I suggest you tell them the truth but what you tell them will be the deciding factor in the approval of your immigration petition.

Make sure you have a certified copy of the arrest report as well as a certified copy of the court disposition, USCIS will want to see that.

Hi everyone :( after divorced what my legal status please ?

You are a permanent resident of the USA, a divorce will not change your legal status. After the divorce you will still be a permanent resident.

Is it "easier" to go through U.S. Customs at Toronto Pearson? We are looking into a flight that would leave from YYZ with a layover in Chicago and then to Houston.

Obviously, I get it won't be "easy" at all... but are U.S. Customs more difficult in Montreal than in Toronto

From what I've experienced in the past, I personally think preclearance customs in Toronto are more difficult than Montreal but everybody has different experiences. The only advantage for you going thru preclearance in Toronto is that if you get denied, you can go straight home and won't be stuck in Montreal.

"I also got a letter from my physiotherapist stating that I am receiving treatment for injuries sustained and that I need to continue treatment until further notice".

How do you intend to continue treatment while you are away for three months?

very true

I am a Canadian Citizen (23 year old female) and my fiancé is a U.S. Citizen (living in Houston, TX). We are getting married in 2 days .....

Thank you for all your help!

I suggest you get ready for a lot of questions by the CBP officers in Montreal. Make sure you have a long layover in Montreal because it could take a while and you might miss your flight. Hopefully you will be allowed to get on your flight to Houston but I've read a few stories of Canadians married to USCs being denied entry into the US, it really depends on the officer.

My wife is America citizen she is 5 years older than me ,will it affect my visa interview

No, it shouldn't.

Make an appointment

All of this can be taken care of at the medical exam. You will have to get all the shots that you can't prove that you already have taken.

I respect the moderator for removing some of these "hateful" posts that attacked me personally. But to answer to the haters, here you go

Hey bro,

I am a male and was victimized by a woman, I successfully went the vawa route and obtain my GC. I personally suffered major physical abuse as well as some mental abuse. Without physical abuse it's a little more difficult to prove but it is definitively not impossible. Psychological/mental abuse is a very real thing and many got their vawa petitions approved with only a good psychological evaluation. Your lawyer doesn't seem to be qualified to help you, get a new one if you absolutely want one. Looking at the evidence you will submit, I think that you will be fine. If you have any question please don't hesitate to contact me and join the VAWA 7 forum, you can get plenty of info just reading people's past experiences.

We had a Stokes interview and the officer was already onto us at the first step in the reception.

So did he even interview you guys or just separated you and had you wait in seperate rooms for 3 hours.

If you are lucky, you will receive a NOID (notice of intent to deny). The NOID will include every and all discrepancies that the officer witnesses during your interviews. You will have a month to reply to USCIS by explaining why the discrepancies occurred. It would be wise to also send new bonafide marriage evidence to support your NOID response packet. At this point you may receive surprise visits from USCIS and eventually you will get a decision from them.

If you are not lucky you will simply be denied. You can always file a new petition, but keep in mind that the previous evidence, interviews and filing will definitely affect the decision of the new petition. In other words the old petition doesn't go away.

Hi All,

any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

You don't need to worry about him not speaking English, speaking Spanish only is very common at LAX, the majority of CBP officers there speak Spanish as well.

Wait time depends, but he will be going to secondary inspection so it won't be super fast.

My tip to you, tell him to be completely honest with CBP and he shouldn't have any problems.

What are your suggestions? What can I do?

Thanks.

your 6 months Visa end August 22nd, make sure you leave the USA before August 22nd if you don't want any problems if you ever decide to come back to the USA. You can visit Canada if you want, Montreal and Toronto are amazing in the summer.

Do you think I should worry?

NO, your credit card is protected against fraud. Just call the card company and make sure the cab driver charged you the right amount.

Thanks in advance!

Simple... either stay in your country or come back to the states on your own. If you chose to return to the US, get a divorce when you get back and later on remove conditions on your GC on your own.
