Hi everyone! Its been a while since I logged in. I have a question, if I got my i-765 notice with my name and middle name misspelled, should I write a letter to the Vermont service center about the error, or should I do it online in their website about topographic errors. I don't know which one would be better 

You have to write to them because they accept online request from Vawa applicants

Again i just check on my 360 here is the message.

 

If that’s under your i360 your Vawa is approved and you will get a work permit c31 and then your approval letter will come

Good morning everyone, I just got email that my Vawa Is in card production. I’m a March 10th 2017 filer.

hello everyone I need help and I would really appreciate it if anyone who can suggest something,

 

I did not want to be represented by my legal representative anymore, and I decided to be on my own, I sent out a notarized letter to USCIS to inform them the I am no longer represented, and I am representing my self from now own, and to change my address also provided my new address.

 

after 2 weeks, I went to Info Pass at a USCIC local office to make sure that my address was changed in the system, the lady told me that they did not change it, and she can not change it from her end, because she doesn't have access, it has to be done by the Vermont center, because I-360 is considered to be classified. she told me to send a change of address form AR-11, although she said it would not help because its for different type of forms!

she could not help with anything!

 

what should I do!?

I wrote my letter in 2017 to change lawyer, I went to infopass two weeks later but no changes, it took months for uscis to actually acknowledge my request and now my address is updated and no more lawyer. When I went to infopass the lady instructed me to continue writing to uscis about termination of lawyer and address change until they did something about it. I decided to ask congressman for help on the matter

Can someone please tell me what FORM is used for the exemption from the FORM I-485 fee?

Thank you very much...

@Hope953 yeah i don't know what to do to be honest. I just know that my attorney made it more complicated  for me 

If you need to, I say do it but your lawyer might not help especially if you can’t afford to pay them to do the rest of the forms. You can always do them yourself and ask for help on here if you get stuck on anything. Best of luck

Good Afternoon,

 

I have a question, my attorney file for vawa but they only send form i-360 and i'm married to a us citizen. As far as i know if you are married to a us citizen then you are able to send all the forms together at once. I asked my attorney that if its still possible for me to send the rest of the forms since i am eligible to send all of them but he told me that it was not possible and i want to ask you guys what should i do because i want to kiil time if not it will take forever and you guys know that right now its taking from 15 to 19 months to get vawa approved.

 

 

This is what he respond to me. 

Dear Erika,

That's not possible. Once you get your VAWA approved, you will be able to apply for adjustment of status, not before. 

Also, you are not adjusting through your husband, since he is the abuser and you are separated. You will adjust through VAWA once is approved.

 

 

This are the rest of the forms that i want to send if its still possible.

i-485

i-864w

i-765

i-131

i-912  

 

how did you even get your ap without the i360 approved. i was wondering if its possible to do ap with vawa?

You can still send off the documents i485 and i765 if you want to work and be able to move around while waiting on my Vawa. The only downside is if your Vawa gets denied then you can be deported

Are you a new Yorker ? Cause I applied for mine in October and still didn't get my card yet ...just updated today card being ordered ...

No Georgia.. you’ll get yours by weekend or next Monday. In all from approval to my hands to a week. Which I am very thankful

I just received my work permit in the mail. I am a March 2017 Vawa filer still waiting on approval. I desperately needed to work so with the help of Ms. Sandra, I submitted my i485 and i765 December 18th of last year. Work permit was approved March 20th.

Congratulations on your approval USCIS keep them coming

What kind of evidence did you submit to show good faith marriage? Please if you don’t mind me asking

6 minutes ago, pep123 said:

Just a last question.  Do you think filing this appeal without an attorney will be a smart decision. Look at the letter he sent me. I seriously want to let him go. I don’t trust him. 

You could try a catholic charities for help with the process. Just make sure everything is satisfied before the appeal is filed as far as documents to show you had a strong case 

1 hour ago, pep123 said:

Yes, that actually makes a lot of sense.  

I’ll need to explain my daily routine in detail. Since I do not not have documents the require.  I also think I might be able to retrieve messages that would support this.

If you had your spouse as an emergency contact for anything medical you can use that too

I would focus on documentation, seems that is what they are asking for.

I’m sure they are too but if she doesn’t have any documents in her possession she has to find other ways of satisfying Uscis requests 

1 minute ago, pep123 said:

Okay I will I’ve began drafting another another letter. 

Seems liked they want more proof that’s you guys resides together once married and if you don’t have a paper trail of it you have to explain how it was living with your spouse to prove that you lived with him. Ask ms sandranj to explain in more details for you please.

Yes everything. the uscis believes the abuse did happen but because I do not have sufficient joint assets, that was allegedly withheld by my bankrupt abuser that refused to share assets, basically depriving me of my rights in the marriage. Making me pay debts and eventually he would withhold cards. Basically this was a one sided marriage but because I was blinded by love still. I stayed with him and just believed marriages are not perfect.  This is the context of the joint assets( I can’t provide what was withheld from me ) 

 

 

 

 

 

But it doesn’t seem like they are reading the whole story cause the letter claims that “ I didn’t give the name of the person who proposed to me”  

 

then the denial letter goes on to say again “  You said Micheal (example)proposed to you but you didn’t say when. A lot of mixed requests that are confusing 

Out of 4 bank statements, they claim to have received one

 

If you plan on reapplying please make sure everything is in your application and in more details, explaining one by one everything that a married couple should have But you didn’t  Because of the abuse. Have family and friends write on your behalf. TAlk about the life you  had before marriage during, and the one you guys hope to of had in the future. Whether plans for kids, vacation anything really, describe in details how your home was, talk about things you guys did as far as routines.

June 2016 Application sent 

 

August 2016 Prima Facie Determination 

Waiting period till:

 

April 2017 RFE asking for pretty much everything, photos, letters, self affidavit and from family. Proof of marriage Was entered in good faith,  joint assets.

 

June 2017 RFE   Moral character supporting documents,  international criminal history. Letters not sufficient. 

 

July: 2017 RFEcriminal record rejected,  

FBI fingerprints were then submitted

 

August: RFE personal moral character letter again. I wrote a new one and sent it 

 

 

August: online update;  we have received all RFE we will work on your case again 

 

 

October 2017; RFE asking for everything again. This time we are confused including my attorneys. My attorney  then made a conclusion. Maybe they keep misplacing your information. So let’s send everything again. 

 

 

 

November2017. prima facie 

 

 

March 2018: application denied for the reasons listed on the letter. on a 10 page letter, over 50 photos.

 

I’m so confused. Cause of plenty of contradicting requests and my story taken out of context.  RFEs overlapping. 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you police report.., if not did you attend therapy and get a psychological evaluation done?

I’m guessing this is a complicated case or maybe my writing makes no sense😢

What info did you give them in October when they sent rfe?

Congratulations!!!  seems like people who only do the form i-360 alone, get the approval within 7 months, than people who submitted the three, and get it in one year. I'm going to do only the form i-360 even though, I really demonstrate that I suffered from domestic abuse, I'm afraid I would get deported by submitting the three all at once, plus, its to much money to even apply for all of them three. So, seems like the form i-360 would be my option just like you did, congratulation in your new journey by the way! you deserve this!

If you can’t afford the other forms you can file the fee waiver and get the fees waived... that’s if you choose to file down the road it’s I-912.. I wish you well

On my i485 decision it stated that my lawful nonimmigrant status had already expired that I am not authorized to remain here and I should make arrangements to depart soon as possible.

Mine stated that too and I never got any letter to appear in court either.
