Double

I did renew my Driver licence next day after receiving I-797 receipt, they only renewed it for 180 days. I also ask for a supervisor to handle the renewal since regular DMV employee don't have much knowledge on renewing with NOA receipt and they were giving me a hard time. I received the actual EAD Card 5 month after NOA receipt. 

usually within 2 weeks they verified mine in 5 days. I called SAVE number and they told me that my identity has been verified and i can go to DPS and they will renew it. DPS initially told me 6 months but on my card it was 1 year 

In my case I was unable to do a change of address for vawa online, the USCIS officer told me I MUST submit mail paper form to vsc because anything relating to vawa can not be done online for safety reasons. 

+1. VAWA related cases can't use online AR11 to change addresses. Please read the instructions.

Wow!! Lived together for 24 hours? 😂  Someone people are not here for the nonsense or BS. I tolerated so much that i should have been wiser.

Congrats!! @rza

Patiently waiting for my EAD and AP combo card. 
I just thank the universe I’m not suffering anymore and that I live in peace now, still traumatized from the past year and a half of constant hell with my husband. 
Putting the last piece of faith that things will get better

Folks  the new NTA policy memorandum carrying out the Executive Order became effective Monday. if you had I-485 denied they will issue the NTA. Some people had form I-485 denied and filed I-360 and they didn't file I-485 yet. It's advised to refile the I-485 asap. Speak with your attorney about it

As I mentioned before you need to inquire  in your State how it works to issue police clearance. I know about NYC because I had hundreds of Vawa applicants  in NYC..

You really need to calm down!! You take everything in a negative way!you have to be positive.USCIS always take into consideration the mailing date and not the delivery date!At this rate you might develop hp before ur approval!You need to be positive!

Perfect timeline for the EAD!
 

Yes, you can’t change your address via phone or online as Vawa filer.
 
I sent to Vermont, change of address form twice, both are notarized and signed. No single response at all (last time I send them was 4 months ago). So I am going to do an InfoPass next week to find out. Will let you know then!

Congrats!! @Peppermint Greater things are in store for you!

!!!!!

I had a case the person lived with her husband for 24 hours and she was approved. Another case the guy lived with his wife 6 days, he was approved too and cases of living together 30 /45 days I had hundreds approved,that being said it's not the time you lived together that they will take into consideration but if you had a bonafide marriage.

Congratulations @iwillsurvive!!!
You’ve been of immense help to everyone on this thread with detailed and helpful explanations. Happy for you!!! 

I just received the update in my DHS account that my interview was scheduled!!
 
I can’t believe it! Such great news! It’s been almost exactly 21 months since I filed for VAWA. I am so happy! I have my medical appointment scheduled for next week, good that I did that!

Good morning everyone! I had my I-485 interview this morning and I just wanted to share my experience.
 
My appointment was at 9:45am. I was seated in the lobby by 9:40 and had to wait a bit. I was called in at 10:30am.The interview had me swear to tell the truth then he took my picture and finger prints.
After that he asked me my name, address, and date of birth. He went down a few questions asking if I had any criminal history. He asked me if I have ever worked illegally and where(yes). He asked if I have claimed to be a US citizen or voted in a federal election(no). He asked me where I went to school, and where I work currently. He asked for my updated medical.
He told me he had 30days to make a decision but that he would probably make it sooner. He said he would review my file, and if they needed anything else he would send a notice otherwise he would send a notice with a decision. He said he could not tell me at this time what that decision would be. Honestly he was very nice, friendly and curteous.
 
I left the office at 10:45am. I drove home and had something to eat. At 12pm I got notification by email and text that my new card is being produced!!!!! Honestly I could not believe it!!!! After all this long wait and suffering God has done it as He has always done, this never-failing God.
I am so grateful to God for everyone on this forum, your help, encouragement, insight and friendship. May God bless you all and help you along on your journeys. I pray for better and safe relationships for all of us as we continue along and rebuild our lives.

Did your husband attend management class for at least 6months? Did he attend individual therapy?, if not then you are signing to be abused again. In case you reconcile and you are abused again you probably won’t be able to convince Uscis of the “new abuse”. Well you will be questioned about the abuse when you will attend the AOS interview and he will be questioned as well, the privacy law doesn’t extend to Vawa if the person withdraws the self petition.

Is the place far from you? Sometimes going in person gets better results then over the phone. There is no formal way to ask for a copy of the lease. They should provide one to you if you ask but if the lease is over they dont really have to go out of their way to give you a copy of it from their files since you should have one in your files. So if possible go there and ask in person nicely. If she doesnt want to go searching for it you can ask her if she can write you a very basic letter saying you guys were tenants there from X date to Y date and they have a copy of your signed lease on file. If she refuses to do that- then try to get a letter from her stating you guys were tenants there and you are asking for the lease and she is unable to provide it. I dont know. See if you can get anything and then review it and see if it would be useful.
You can show joint residence with NOTARIZED affidavits and mail addressed to both of you. You are going to want to write a statement about how the lease accidentally ended up unsigned and how you tried to get a copy and couldnt and what you have instead, but I hope you can get a copy.

To prove that you are a person of good moral character, you need to submit police clearance from all places you lived in for 6 or more months 3 years prior to filing I-360. You have to prove that you are a good person basically and not a criminal. 

Well if that is her answer stop paying rent. When she asks tell her you aren't in a lease and not legally bound as the landlord didn't sign. I'm sure once they realize you won't pay without paperwork you'll get your lease
