Thank you for the information

Folks please make sure that the psychologicaúl evaluation is drafted by a PSYCHOLOGIST, counselors don't know how to draft an evaluation, but some psychologists are a disaster too.

Before starting the first therapy session ask the professional if she/he can provide a psychological evaluation (minimum 5/7 pages) because I saw a few cases that some psychologists refused to provide the evaluation.

You must attend at least 5/7 therapy sessions. Please do not contact me if you suffered mental abuse and you don't have a psychological evaluation yet.

DO NOT SHOW YOUR AFFIDAVIT TO THE PSYCHOLOGIST. There are a bunch of psychologists copying the victims own affidavit and putting in the evaluation the victims words.

Last week one psychologist drafted 2 pages and asked Uscis to read the victim's affifavit attached to the 2 pages evaluation...unbelievable .

I will not provide to the psychologist a sample, period.

I will not answer your psychologist emails or phone calls.

What happens when you have been seeing a psychologist and they refused to do an evaluation.

And can kindly someone tell me how family and friends should write affidavits ,...

Hi everyone

I am so happy today when I am approved for my greencard.

The interview was very short, just the questions you should answer "no" in form i485.

The officer was really nice.

The waiting was long but the interview was short.

Thank you Sandra and other members that were always here to help.

2. what should I carry,i was told I need $50 for the appointment anything else ?

I am just anxious that's all,anxiety . I will appreciate any feedback,and if you don't mind can someone tag me to other other vawa parts ,I have been scrolling but I can't find a lot. Thanks

Sandraj happy birthday and blessings and enjoy your day

Thank you

I'm now in a shelter for domestic violence,...it's a long story I can't even start narrating,...I'm safe now,thought I will die. It's different for everyone for others it's smooth and for some of us it's hard

Hey did you find something to do ?? I came with a K-1 too,my SS says Valid to work with DHS authorization,i am not sure I can work as I wait to file aos

Hi everyone I hope I will get an answer my SSN says "Valid for work Only with DHS authorization" does that mean I can work ,...?? I was thinking of getting a job at a store nearby,thanks

Omg ....for me it was a shock my husband who is a USC was hostile to me ,locked me in the house ,I think he has a mental issue, he is abusive.

Very abusive,

Ok thank you so much

Hi Sandra....you' said I qualify for a sawa case....okay I don't know where to start from,i am not working,i know I need to see a psychologist,and as start my case,any attorney you can refer me to or if you can work on my case...I've written down in details all my forms of abuse including time and date and some recordings...thanks in advance. I am in. Boston

After looking for several sources I think I have a sawa case, I was told to go to Hawc,first meet with an. Advocate so that I can explain my situation, so im waiting for a day from tomorrow where I can sneak out,its not far I heard.

Then definitely ,I will decide,divorce plus going back home I need a ticket,and I threw all my life behind when I came to the US,i need to have a plan

All he keeps saying is that he's terminally ill, when I bring up anything he tells me things like ,I wish you had my body even for a day,the last time he was going for checkup I asked if I can accompany him,he refused,he is always coming up with desperate things to make me feel bad,I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY THE EMBASSY IS ALWAYS HARD ON US WHEN WE GO FOR INTERVIEWS.

Ask for sandranj's advice. She is an attorney and very knowledgeable about VAWA. She can tell you if you have a potential VAWA case or not and what steps to take.

I have posted on the other forum

My advice would be to gather your ID, any important documents and anything of personal value and leave. If he protests call the police and they will ensure you leave free of harm. Go to a women's refuge - Red Cross would be able to help you also. Then go from there and decide how you want to proceed. Divorce him, move back home if you have nothing to keep you here. Just please don't stay.

Don't ever think you're to blame for any of this. What he is doing is wrong and it's all his fault, not yours. There's help available to people in your situation and how you're living right now is not normal. Don't sign anything else either.

*big hugs* I'm sorry for your situation.

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement,at some point i even thought maybe something was wrong with me,but then I realized maybe he has a mental issue or something,because I was also tired of the endless ooh I have cancer blackmails

Hi ,everyone am new here, have a problem.

I came to US end of march,the last week under a K-1 Visa,my husband who's a USC hurriedly file for marriage which took place on the 1st week of April.

Since then things really changed between us,i didn't know what it was until I talked to a lady on phone who told me that was abuse;

He doesn't want me to leave the house,he keeps telling me ill be arrested.

He doesn't work he had cancer before so he's on disability income so he' doesn't leave the house and smokes all day with me inside that house.

He has insulted me,yelled at me and even tried stopping from going to church which is round the blocker,100m away.

He's made me sign documents,that are illegal I cant give much. Details here as he threatens me that we wouldn't have cable if I don't sign.

He doesn't talk to me,but when visitors are around he talks to me,compliments me,they know we are okay.

I am not working just my SSN,and today I applied for ID I have no money at all,...

Two weeks ago I brought up the smoking issue,he yelled at me said I was disrespectful,i told he was not the man I knew I didn't understand why he was so cruel to me,he just told me I should never bring up petty issues,i am so childish,they is nothing he hasn't called me.

After that he called his mum and reported me,and accused me of sleeping with someone,bad relations in Church etc,so one of his friends came to ask me about the allegations,she was so sure I did everything that was mentioned to her,someone told me to keep records of everything that has happened to me so I did,i came to realize that he has a very bad credit and he actually brought me here so he can afford a luxurious life.

I told him I want to see a counsellor @ salvation army which he almost refused but he took me and sat nearby I wasn't even able to talk,and he told me I shouldn't go for such things they will reflect on my records.

He's asked me not to talk to anyone male or female,i don't have extra house keys,he never takes me anywhere and anytime I asked him if I can stroll he tells he wants to go somewhere which he never does.

Actually the list is endless,my i-94 expires this week,so I asked him what happens??(because his brother was kind enough to tell me I should be careful with him he has messed two women here in USA and he never filed anything for them at the end)

So he just told me he doesn't have money,just to make sure what I was told was true,i told him I will borrow,he told "AOS is not important people live even forever in the US without this things,youre married to me that's all that matters,youre far much better than many people I know" he's planning to get a car under my name when I start working,since I came he hasn't paid rent he wants me to get a job so that I can help him pay .

I so feeling bad right now,i don't even get enough sleep,he is very violent by nature he kicks things around,he has never hit me though because according to him the government will give me a greencard,so he does everything possible to frustrate me,.

Any advice will be appreciated,i don't have any friends,....cash or anything,he did not pay for my cellphone this month.

If you have gone through this please let me know what happened.

Thanks
