Aloha: sorry I didn’t update my status very often, I am busy doing my engineering job, you know I am a family man, feeding the family members and buying the land and houses, you heard about that Hawaiian sold land inch by inch not acre by acre! for those people not yet got Vawa results , just hang in there, took more time to prepare your documents, that is the most important things to do. If possible got help from attorney and social workers, seek their professional help. After Vawa approved you still need wait 3-5 years to apply US citizenship. Life is a journey, enjoying it and think positively. Remember when I did my I-551 immigration visa interview in US consulate General in New Zealand, immigration officer ask me I want to stay in New Zealand or USA, I said I belong to America, although I am just a small fish living in big fish’s world, I prefer to live in ocean (USA), instead of lakes(New Zealand)🤣 mahalo

Aloha: it has been long time for this vawa journey, but it is really worth the waiting. Thanks TboneTX, I remember we were in vawa part 10, at that time it was 2012, at the beginning my case got denied in 2013 due to lack of enough evidence. I refiled it in 2016 in New Zealand with more details evidence, waiting for 18 months, my case got approved in 2018, got i551 immigration visa interview in US consulate General in New Zealand in Feb 2021 due to pandemic, finally got my green card in Hawaii in April 2021, thanks god I can work as engineer again! In August 2024 I become US citizen in Hawaii🤣 in my citizenship ceremony immigration director gave my US citizen certification, she also mentioned my US immigration journey last over 10 years, it is a long journey but the result is worth for all the waiting, god bless America 🇺🇸
