Hello guys.

I got an I485 interview in 06/26/18 based on VAWA approval.

However, Since then, I didn't get any of update. I already contacted local Congressman and Senator. USCIS replied from them that my case is still pending. 

The problem is my parents are sick so that I need to visit my country in December. 

I don't know whether any of you guys has similat situation. But, please be adviced.

Sanranj, If I visit my country without receiving GC and I have to visit my parents, what you would advice for me? 

Please... desperate now.. 

Thanks.

Hello, 

I had an i485 interview in June,2018 after VAWA approved in March,2018. 

When I got an Interview, the Officer said he will make a decision in a few days. I didnot get any of paper.

However, since then, I didn't get any GC approval letter. It already passed 3 and half months now. I contacted local congressman and Senator and got an answer from USCIS that my case is still pending. 

Even my USCIS website doesn't update anything since VAWA approved. I tired to make an appointment with infopass, there is no spot. 

Any of you guys have similar case like me? 

Sandranj, do u have similar case like mine?

I’m male too. I am so worried about my case before I saw your post. I thought female has more advantages than male in the vawa case. But I know I’m wrong. My ex wife is not a physical abuser. She is a mental absuer. I sent a psychological evaluation to USCIS. Can someone will get approval based mental abuse?

I am male, approved in March, have an interview tomorrow. I also only filed based on emotional, mental and verbal abuse. I got 3 RFEs and took 17 months to get approved. VAWA doesn't cate no matter what you're male or female. Even though you only got emotional abuse from your ex-wife, It would be fine if you approve well. Subjectively, mental abuse case is harder to approve than physical abuse. Therefore, You need to prepare well about your proof of abuse. Good Luck for your Journey!

As I mentioned yesterday when you get the  RFE  we take from there.  I will help you to answer the RFE  just if I believe  100% that you  have a VAWA case.

Sandranj, I just got the mail from USCIS for their 3rd RFE. 

I will leave a message. I really need your help. 

Thank you.

You are very lucky that they sent you 2 RFEs regarding bonafide marriage. Sometimes they send just one RFE regarding a  bonafide marriage if the person did not convince them. When you get the RFE let me know and we take from there.

 

I never got an RFE in my life!!!. I answer RFE often, but the VAWA petitioners submitted their cases without my help, many of them with help of their attorneys.I always say if someone receives one RFE is because the person didn't do a good job when filing VAWA, but receiving 2,3  request of evidence then the case is a mess.

Thank you, Sandranj.

I will let you know when I got the 3rd RFE from USCIS. 

I don't know whether you remember me or not, I sent you a message when I didnot get the 2nd RFE for 2 months. As you advised me, I contacted ombusdman twice, and contacted two congressman. Then, I received the 2nd RFE just a 4 days before the dead line date. Due to I had no time, I tried to do my best for the response and sent the response next day because the 4days included weekends. Fortunately, they got my respnse the last day of the dead line. Then, I got notice 3rd RFE. 

As you know, I file I360 by myself because there was no one to help me at the time. First of all, I am a man. Second of all, my case is emotional and mental abuse case. It is almost about a year since I filed I360. Thanks to God, I could find this forum and knew about you, Sandranj. 

I really need your advice. God bless you.

Sandranj,

I feel that I cannot live anymore.

I jost got notice that USCIS sent 3rd RFE. 

1st RFE was fonafide marriage and moral character.

2nd RFE was fonafide marriage and abuse evidence. So, I responded.

I just got notice from USCIS website that they sent 3rd RFE. 

I have no idea what I can do now. Do I have to meet another psychiatrist? I have no money for it.

Sandranj, you have lots of experiences on VAWA. Could you advise me what I can do. Could you mention some of your cases who got 3rd RFE? 

I missed my sister's wedding, my grandmother's funeral. what else do I need to miss...... 

Please help...

You need to complete a new l-765, mark the box at the top stating " Renewal of my permission to accept employment ", and enclose copies of your current EAD and I-485 receipt NOA. If you paid your AOS you don't have to pay for renew I- 765 . However, if you had fees waived you will need to include again an l-912 fee waiver request alongside the l-765. 

I got this information form old posts, so please, someone can correct me if I gave  a wrong information.

Thanks so much!

One more quick question.  Do I need to send Vermont USCIS as we sent VAWA appplication? I actually sent I360 alongwith I765 & I485. Thanks! 

Hello,

I need to renew my working permit. Please anyone guide me how to renew I765.

Thanks alot.

You will always get this letter in the mail if you try to ask questions about vawa on the phone, it's their protocol for security reasons, any correspondence regarding VAWA must be submitted in writing.

You can also do the following together if time is limited:

 

1-Schedule infopass appointment so you can go in person to resolve the missing RFE issue.

2- Contact your congressman and ask them to inquire on your behalf. 

They will have you sign a release form and will communicate with USCIS then get back to you.

 

 

I did not make a phone call to get the missing documentation. 

I followed their protocal which E-request.

Sandraji, could you advice for me?

Sandraj, and other folks,

I got a 2nd RFE, but it wasn't delivered. So, once it passed a month, I went to www.uscis.gov/e-request and request for a missing notice in mail. 

AND, I got this today..(I attached)

I have no idea what I can do now. 

Sandraj, and other folks who had similar situation before, please help me. 

Because of I filed by myself, I have no one to be helped.

Thank you.

Congratulation

We will appreciate if you share to us cuz we all got issue in the past specialy with our abusive partner.

Thanks

 

Are you the same situation? Did you get 2nd REF about good moral character? 

Ha.... Pleas read quote entirely. I am definitely aware that we all got abused from x-partner.

However, each of us has different situation and process. I just found that the one get similar situation on the process so that I'm asking her/him for sharing. 

I just want to kindly leave the quote to avoid any misunderstanding.

Thx.

First one was for bona fide of marrage and good moral caracter.

and second one specificly good moral character based on some issue that i had in the past.

Thanks for the reply.

I think I am a similar situation now. I got the 1st REF for good motal character and bona fide marrige. After submitting the documentation following REF, I got the Prima Facie. 

However, I recently got noticed that USCIS sent 2nd REF. I had no idea what I'm supposed to. Even, I didnot get the notice documentation for a month so that I requested a copy last week. 

If you don't mind, could you share what was your issue for second REF for the good moral character? I'm also thinking that I might have an issue. 

If you feel it is hard to share in public, could you send me a message then? I will be really appreciated for it. 

By the way, I was really encouraged from your quote because I was desperate that I don't have any documentation more that I can send to USCIS. So, I was really embarrassed when I got notice for 2nd REF. 

Please share your 2nd REF about with quote or messgae.

Thanks again!

Hi Sandranj, 

I need your advice. I got a notice that USCIS sent an additional evidence request about a month ago(4/21/17). However, I did not receice their request until today(5/18/17). Once I don't receive the request, do I need to ask them send me a copy? 

Another issue is that this additional evidence request is second request. First request was moral and bona-fide marrige so that I sent clearance and additional evidence, and got a Prima Facie. I requested Prima Facie extention the bigining of April, and I got the Prima Facie extention letter at the middle of April. Then, I got additional evidence request in April 21st. 

I know you are one of the best expert. DO you have any idea what kind of request they used to send for the second REF? I'm really desperate because it seems there is no more evidence that I can send to USCIS anymore. 

Please advise me.

Thank you.

If so, could you share your time line? It will be really appreciated.

I just sent my renewal letter in, and this is what I did:

 

1. Form G-1145

2. Cover letter stating: That you're applying for an extension of your prima Facie status, and you're asking them for their kind consideration in the matter. 

3. Attach the blue notice (or copy) that you got with your initial prima facie letter ...read the bottom of the notice. 

4. Attach a copy of your prima Facie letter

5. Attach a copy of your passport biometrics page

6. Attach a copy of your I-94

7. Attach a copy of your birth certificate. 

8. Attach front a back copies of your EAD card. 

 

***That is what I did. I am not certain you truly need all the documents listed from 5-8, but I submitted them just in case. 

 

I hope this helps. 

Thanks a lot!

Hello, I'm New here. I filed 360/765/485 in July 2016.

Because of I filed all three by myself, I now have no idea how to renew Prima Facie.

Help Please..

Thank you.
