Thanks for the reply. 

How would this effect me if my spouse withdraw i-130. will my i-485 still be pending or it would deny?

Since it took a year for you, were you able to renew your EAD?

It doesn’t affect your case, it only reassure the abuse from your ex-spouse.

my case I never got EAD until I got my Vawa Approval. Some get EAD others don’t...

Best!

Waiting for my interview. But I remember Sandra saying VAWA petitioners are exempted from such scrutiny. Rest easy.🙏

They even ask for divorce certificate from the abuser! I had it so I handed it to the officer, he kept my original copy so bring one with you!

guys i have a question. 

I applied for Vawa, i have form i130 and i-485 pending. I have moved out of my spouse's house. 

my question is how would i know if my spouse have withdrawn the form i-130? Is there a way i find out? 

It takes about a year to get any news from USCIS that your I130 has been withdrawn, your sponsor and ex-lawyer will get the letter.

it happened to me...

What was the timeline experience for you recently on receiving the renewed EAD under C09 when I-360 and I-485 were filed concurrently? How soon has it be renewed / received? Thank you a lot all!!!

You MUST renew 4-5 months before it expired!

it takes over 9-16 weeks to get the renewal 😣

Good to know! Thank you @FridayGirl@69

Im slightly disappointed about how my attorney is handling the case. However, with support from this forum im positive i will be able to sail through. I appreciate everyone who gives their time and advice on this forum.
 

Good luck to all fellow petitioners  ❤️

As a Vawa Petitioner with successful approval of it and my humble, painful experience is that we all learn through out the process and USVJ is the BEST outstanding source to helps us all, specially @sandranj free and good hearted advise!!! She is absolutely the BEST 💕 

Just take it easy and embrace yourself, all will work out at the end...

Best Luck!!!  🍀 

@aquila How are you? How is everything going, any news? Be Safe and Take Care 🙂

i have an attorney, yet having to seek advice from you as i sometimes donot get timely advice from them. Here is an important advice i need to respond to my rfe. Please help.

My attorney is yet to receive the physical rfe notice. I am assuming it would be for my birth certificate as my lawyer forgot(!) to include it in the original packet.

 

A qq occurred to me. My birth certificate is bi-lingual ie. in English AND native language. Would USCIS need certifed translation for it as its not plain English and has 2 languages? 

 

Thank you 🙏 

Yes, all Document need to be translated.

Birth Certificate, Divorce Acts, Vaccination Récord,etc...

Hi Guys!!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful holidays time!!!

 I would like to hear some comments from you...

just got this update in my case today... I really don’t know what it could be...

it is an update in my pending I485 that USCIS put on hold when I had my second interview based on marriage and I presented the Vawa filed notice... 

my point is... what they could need from a file that I got 2 interviews plus sent all Vawa package and it is already approved???

any idea??? Just came to my mind I-834w but I think they can request it during of after the interview... just guessing what they might need now... @sandraj @Stillwinning!!!😊I am all ears 😊

The only thing I can think of right now is i693!(medical update) The previous one should be expired by now...I was sent an RFEfor that too. So be patient and confirm when you receive it.👍

 

@Stillwinning!!!😊 well, that’s sounds reasonable, getting the medical update... mine one are already expired...did you already send it? If so, where did you mail it? Vermont... just asking because if the file is waiting for interview in the NBC... and VAWA is approved, where we supposed to send a RFE? Did your Notice has at the bottom the address where you have to send it?

thanks a lot!!!

I don’t think is the medical, it usually says request for medical, I believe they want a missing document.

do not make assumptions, wait for RFE to know what they want so you can send the info requested. Good Luck!

Hello, I have applied VAWA with receipt date Nov 15, 2018 and its pending for approval and recently got my 2nd prima facie for 6 months ending in May 2020. I am planning to move to Michigan in April 2020 on a new job.

 

My concern is about the USCIS sending file to Dallas local office if my change of address to MI is not processed within that time. If I am hoping the approval comes in May 2020, is it safe to move and file change of address in April?

 

Also, anyone here in the VAWA forum based out of Michigan? Thanks.

 

 

 

You need to start working on the change of address, it is BEST not to move but if you file all correctly your lawyer should send to USCIS the change of address.  
I never had a problem when I did but my lawyer basically took care of all my change of address paperwork.

Happy Safe Healthy Holiday Season 2019 and Best Outcome on Every Way in Life to All for 2020 🥳

Hi @Nadou Congratulations for your approval, I am from San Francisco too!!!!

 I am Nov 2017 filer and got my I360 approved in May 1st 2019, 2 week later got my approval letter... waiting for my interview... but my I-485 is from my marriage so my PD is back on June 2016...

Did you get a transfer notice already? Keep me posted if you don’t mind 

 

It took on 2017 fillers approvals of 2018 around 5-10 months to get interview, on today’s date might be a bit longer... 

congratulations on your approvals!

hi,

I sent my all my forms (i360, i485, i765, i131) almost 8 months ago, but i haven't received a work permit or advanced parole yet. Is this normal? how much longer will it take to get the permits? what can i do? i went for the biometrics almost 6 months ago, and no PF.

thanks

Not everyone gets Prima Face, people said you were supposed to file C09 but according to my lawyer it doesn’t matter...

I had to wait almost 18 months for my EAD once my I360/Vawa got approved!

hang in there, it will come eventually....

Good Luck!

I think they stopped doing Infopass everywhere. It’s the Trump administration changes, to save $$. They think that all the information can be received by phone. In fact, it’s a disservice to customers as most of the time the first line customer reps know nothing and just read you the information on the screen. To get to a second -tier officer or supervisor is difficult, and USCIS rarely call back.

They do call back BUT you have to try several times...

Congratulations for your approval hopefully mine will be soon . Believe me I was very patient for more than 10 years now I can’t handle it anymore became paranoid of loosing my mom without seeing her especially after my father passed away to be honest I don’t care anymore about what more could happen to me 

Also it took so long and want get another RFE

I have similar family events, I never went to see my Dad passing away last February 2019  and my Mom I was able to see her just 2 weeks ago to say good bye! Hang in there, be a water that once you I360 gets approved it will go into Local Office for another review, it is up to the Officer who performs the interview to approve or not, majority gets approve.

This is something no body says butI learned it in my interview date.

You will get approve!!! Best Luck!!!

Happy holidays VAWA family 

i was a passive reader for long time. Thanks to everyone  the one who shared the information they got and the one who shared their Timeline. Many stories are inspiring here. I wanted to share my experience hoping it will relieves me if someone got the same with a happy end. I came to The Us on 2008 I overstayed my tourist visa. In  jan2017 got married to a usc he was nice and caring few months later he changed became controlling and abusif he kicked me out of the house many times I had to spend the night in the car,  hit me, took my saving and messed up my credit. We filed i131 on March 2 weeks before the interview he withdrew his petition. I filed i360 on March with lawyers help she is pro bono. As today I m on my 3rd prima facie. 18 months I received RFE they were asking for the divorce decree back home from my first husband to be translated. I remembered  my lawyer already filed it the first time anyway i sent it again translated and certified. They received it on October 17th. Since then didn’t hear anything from them. Does anyone got a RFE after 18 months and do you think they may send another RFE I already lost my father without getting the chance to see him and my mom is getting older all I want now having more time with her I am really exhausted and depressed i feel my life has been on hold for long long time so desperate 

I got RFE for my 1st divorce decree even tough I had already sent it, after 4 weeks I got my I360 Approval so hang in there, it is coming!

9/7/18 RFE

9/27/18 I answered RFE to USCIS

10/29/18 I360 Approval 

7/17/19 Interview Notice 

8/14/19 Interview Date

8/22/19 I485 Approved

Best wishes!!!

Omg !! Thank God !! What is Global entry ??? 😮😮

Global Entry is a program of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection service that allows pre-approved, low-risk travelers to receive expedited clearance upon arrival into the United States. 
It keeps track of all your exits and entries so when you apply for USC will be easier to fill all that information.

sigh of relief 🙂 i am planning to visit my home country next month

appreciated. do we need to give our employers a new c31 EAD as well for I9 verification?

Make sure you have a combo EAD IF not apply for your I131 Travel Permit with Advanced Parole 

On 12/1/2019 at 9:17 PM, Shroy123 said:

So for example of I need to travel, do i need to apply travel document based on my pending i360 again? Or i can travel with c09 AP?

You need to apply for I131 Advanced Parole Document, once it get approved you might travel but never without this document in hand.
