I agree with @nap_o
I live in Tallahassee, have them call the Tallahassee location. 
 
I applied with my PF and temp SS.
 
I got a piece of paper that allowed me to drive legally while they mailed out my DL. Only took about 3-4 weeks for myn to arrive. 

Hope everyone is doing well.
 
I filed VAWA years ago and now I'm a citizen. 
 
If anyone needs help let me know, you can DM me. I would like to return the favor in any way that I can .
 

 
 

@Florecita_Bella if you have any questions message me. I can help you with DL.

It's just a piece of paper and you can d rive with that but cannot use it for identification purposes. When you drive, always carry another form of ID plus the paper they'll give you. I had to go several times to DMV to make sure they did mail my card. What part of Florida are you going to? If it's Miami, I recommend going to NORTH DADE JUSTICE CENTER, that's where the manager was actually helpful; not clueless like the other clerks at the other offices.

Hey,
I got my DL in Florida using my social security, my passport, Prima Facie and my old and expired DL from Texas and did't have to re-take any exams. It's an out of state DL transfer. Bring this form printed out: https://www.flhsmv.gov/ddl/aila/acceptabledocuments.pdf  (PAGE 16 says I360) as the clerks might not be familiar with PF letter.
Once you get to the DMV I recommend you speak to the DL manager and let them know you are a battered exwife, this will make things easier as it will take way too long for them to verify your identity and ship your DL. Ask the manager to call the Tallahassee office as well. I waited for mine for more than 3 months. Good luck!
 

1. There is no such thing as an old social security number. You are given one SSN for life. You will use the one you got for everything your entire life, so yes you can use it for vehicle registration. 
 
2. I don’t understand what you mean with transit ticket. 
 
3. You get a temporary piece of paper until they are able to verify your immigration status and print your actual card. You can use this to drive but not for identification purposes. 
 
4. Depends on your state’s application form. DMV’s have different forms/rules in every state. Just look at the driver license application form online. 
 
5. Again, every state has different rules. Most likely they will make you take the test if your old driver’s license expired a long time ago and you are applying for a new license. If you are applying for a renewal license they might not make you pay the fees but you have to be able to show them the info of your old license. 
 
As this is not VAWA related, I suggest you ask this in a thread in this forum about your state. They might help you better. 
Most likely yes. You will receive an approval notice in the mail and that’s when you know you are approved. 

@Florecita_Bella Basic traffic tickets wont have any impact on completing VAWA- doing something like getting a DUI (drunk driving) can impact you being able to prove good moral character- esp if someone is injured.
And yes, when you get a DL or state ID from DMV it is considered a valid form of US ID. Check your states DMV website to find out if you need to take the exam again (Ive moved several times and never had to take the driving part- but they do make you take the written part to make sure you know the states laws- get a book from DMV to study- if you are already a seasoned driver it should only take a few minutes to review how many feet to stop/railroad-bus laws etc). 

Hello everyone today I got an update in my case saying “new card is being produced “ in my I-360 status. But I didn’t get any file a 485 yet or have and interview. Can anybody tell me what does means? Please 
 
thank you 

Thanks
But I will have to go anyway
I only have my ID/driver license shown address and my photo . hope this is enough. I didn't do any crime or mistake. God help us

It's hard to predict if they will ask you another police clearance or not, usually, when I see a situation like yours  I tell my clients to get another police clearance with the right name.

I received my interview notice!

I have the same question 😮

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

Sometimes they notify in their website that the RFE was received, but the site is not reliable.

You will not get a physical notice in the mail when your response to an RFE is received. Sometimes USCIS updates the online account but not always. 

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!

It's a hard guess with the time. It's up to USCIS to decide because as it stands now USCIS is unpredictable with their changes. I don't think your lawyer should have waited all this while before responding. Unless maybe it took a while to get it done.
But still same let's keep our fingers crossed and stay positive.
God bless 👍
 

I-864W is a form on its own that replaces i-864 exempting Vawa applicant from affidavit of support reqirements.It is not a fee waiver but rather exempt one from submitting an affidavit of support.

On page 8 of the document that I sent you below you can find all the documents that you should send as support for the I-485 form:
 
https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-485instr.pdf

I hope it helps you!
 

It says it is effective from Sept 11th and applicable to applications filled after Sept 11th, I think cases with receipt date of Sept 11th should be fine, certainly will affect cases with receipt date of Sept 12th 

Receipt notice usually take up to 3weeks, may be your lawyer has not received it yet but you should ask you lawyer to confirm they have not received it.

Hi @iwillsurvive. I just read the link you sent me. It says it took effect after 9/11. So I guess my they still might consider my case. Thanks for the link and taking time to reply to my post. 

MGJ_NY, we are in the same situation, my form was also sent missing support documents ...

USCIS will not check your credit score. Where did you read this? On an official .gov website? 
It is normal for immigrants who have not been here for long to have no credit history/score at all, so that wouldn’t make any sense. 
But yes, you can go to Credit Karma or other websites to check your score. These are privately owned websites that have nothing to do with the government. You seem very scared, you don’t need to be at all. You have a pending immigration petition, so you are allowed to be here. 

If it's written that your depression is caused by the abuse suffered then part of abuse claim you can prove in your VAWA petition,but you still have to tell your story and convice USCIS that you were abused.If the depression is not connected with the abuse suffered then you can't prove abuse.It depends on what the psychologist wrote in your evaluation.
