    To avoid this entire hassle of mails and address changes - isn’t it easier to use your lawyers office as the mailing address ? 

    I thought your lawyer office can also be used to send all mails regarding your vawa just to be safe and ensure your ( abuser ) doesn’t get it .

     

    I could be wrong - just asking 

     

    Yes you are right you can use your lawyers office but you still have to update your actual address with USCIS if you move. never get any mail to my house all my mail goes to my lawyer and she’s the one who emails me and let’s me know updates.

    Hello everyone! 

    My I-485 was approved same day as my interview!! I wish everyone good luck and don’t worry nothing was ever updated on my online account since vawa approval. I didn’t even get an update stating that my interview was scheduled. So make sure wherever you are getting your mail is valid. I also didn’t get the letter for the interview until 2 weeks before the date. Here is my timeline 

     

    03-2017 - i360, i485 filed

    06-2018 - i360 approved

    08-2018 - 1485 transferred to local office

    05-2019 - interview, approval 

     

    My FO was the nicest lady, I wish everyone gets her as their officer as well. The interview took about 15 minutes, went through the application, had me sign then she says she will follow up with her supervisor and she will try to get it done by the end of the day. 4:30pm I got an update on my I-485 that a new card was being produced. 

     

    I wish everyone good luck and don’t dwell on those online updates, yours is coming!

    Hi Guys, 

    My interview is this coming Tuesday at 8am. In my letter, I was asked to take along two ADIT style photos (only if not previously submitted). I still went and got them taken.

    Did anyone get the same request in their interview letter?

     

    I was also asked to take documentation proving employment, length of tenure and hours worked each week. 

     

    Other documents l requested:

    •I-94

    •Passport (if your passport is in your maiden name, please take your divorce decree and marriage certificate).

    •Medical exam  (if not previously submitted. Still attend interview if you haven’t gotten it done.) 

    I did mine early 2017, so I got another done, just in case they say it has expired. 

     

    Also, is there anyone who just had an interview? How did it go? Did you attend with or without a lawyer? Did they ask about the abuse?

     

    I am doing my best to be positive, but I can’t help feeling a bit nervous. Please keep me in your prayers.

     

     

    Good luck!!!!

    Has anyone used ‘Prima Facie’ to obtain SNAP/Food stamps? I’m in Texas and just got denied today because of my alien status. I tried to explain what the letter is for and the interviewer just wasn’t getting it. She kept asking for the expiry date on my I-94. I sent them a copy showing D/S and my receipt notice for I-485, but she wanted to see the approval/actual card.

     

    sigh!

    I never used my prima facie but I do agree that local aid office workers doesn’t know much about it. What you can maybe do is look at their own website then print and highlight where it says you may use prima facie to get benefits. Or speak to a case manager who may have more knowledge. Best of luck to u!
