To OP:

first of all, protect yourself and your child.  If you still live together, move out if you can. If you don’t have financial resources, reach to a women’s shelter. They should be able to help. 
I know I might come off as rude, but please don’t take it wrong. Somehow in your story it is perceived as if you want to stay by any means. No, I’m not saying that you are lying with the abuse! However, overstaying a B2, filing for asylum, then AOS denied and then VAWA can be perceived as “wanting to stay at any cost”. USCIS believed the relationship was not genuine, otherwise why would they have called your ex husband to the interview?

I would concur....the OP will absolutely ensure she remains by ANY MEANS necessary...

you are right. I am planning to apply for VAWA. This was designed to help people who experienced abusive relationships. Am I correct?

You are particularly well-informed...

Hi everyone.  So i resigned forum my job 6 months after applying and moved states.  The main reason was lack of daycare for my son. I'm currently a full time mom living with a relative.  Will this be an issue if I'm unemployed during my interview?  Anyone have insight on this? 

No, this is NOT an issue, not anything to worry about!

He is not respecting immigration laws by losing his 2year conditional GC.  You are right i personally would not sign BUT i was making a point by saying they shouldn't be surprised with his reaction. Because he WILL be in a BIG problem after he loses his status. Or he might be put in the removal proceedings if they deny his application. 

Why would they be suprised when they can already see how he is emotionally manipulating their daughter?

Update:

After filing Sept 2020, my son was interviewed Sept 17th 2021.

He passed the civics etc, but then came out with a paper asking for my greencard. I was NOT amused, considering I was naturalized a year ago.

I actually was allowed to go back in and spoke to the IO who wanted to see my naturalization cert. I went home and got it (we live 5 mins away).

She took a copy and explained the following.

Almost 10 years ago, I missed my i-751 interview (ex got the letter and didn't give it to me). Deportation proceedings were carried out against me and my son and then they were later stopped and we successfully got our 10 year green cards.

Apparently, once the green cards were issued, my lawyer at the time had to file a motion to permanently close deportation proceedings for me and my son.

Unfortunately, she filed for BOTH myself and my son on ONE motion when it should have been two.

So proceedings were terminated on my behalf, but not my son.

She told me they would get in touch.

On Nov 24th, my son received a denial on the basis the proceedings were not terminated and giving him 30 days to appeal.

I then contacted a lawyer to file a motion to terminate proceedings on my son's behalf and sent in an appeal on the grounds that a motion to terminate proceedings has been filed and will almost certainly be approved.

Will post updates.

You shouldn't feel upset because at the end you and only you should have the final word in what you want to accept and the possible risks you are willing to possibly deal with. But i would try to understand his feelings because he CAN get DEPORTED and get a ban to come back to the US up to 10y or even a life time if he does. He can end up in ICE detention for many months for something simple as not stopping at the stop sign. Im sorry you have to deal with this complicated moral decision. 

What?? Don't be ridiculous. If he CHOOSES not to respect immigration laws and get deported, that's HIS issue.

I stand by the OP and support their decision...The son-in-law seems to be showing his true colors now he isn't getting the green card he set his heart on...already started emotionally blackmailing his wife in order for her to put the pressure on her parents...I ABSOLUTELY would NO sign.

The OP may have had a lucky escape...

OMG! That's asinine.

Will he be able to visit the biometric site? Or is that too far away?

Is it worth the trouble and time to ask for a reschedule to a closer location?

Only 1000 miles away...we live in FL and the appointment is in MD

So the IDIOTS at USCIS have somehow scheduled my son's biometrics for MARYLAND and sent the biometrics notice to an address we lived at THIRTEEN YEARS ago???????????

Ugh, ugh UGH!

Salt Lake City,  forms submitted Sept 8 and still didn’t receive letter about biometrics.  We are worried now. 

I JUST got my son's biometrics notice...

Good news I got my interview date on 6/16! However I have a slight problem. I am moving to new address on 6/15. I am actually just moving to different apartment complex. It will still be the same street and city just different address #.

Now I am not sure how to change address online. I won’t move to my new address until 6/15 once I secure the place.

And also on the day of interview, I know I will be mentioning that I had moved. But I am not sure where to file the change of address online since I filled out my application online. I wanted to be prepared on the interview and ensure I did what I have to do.

I really needed to move because of my mom’s health condition. Our unit does not have an elevator so we needed to find a place on the lower unit.

 

If anyone can give me some advice would really help

Don't worry about it. I moved from Maryland to Florida on 6/19 and changed my address online and still went for my interview in Maryland on 6/30.

My son FINALLY got notice of his biometrics scheduled!!

Just pull the plug now. Sorry you've already wasted this poor girl's time.

Nope.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but are they reusing biometrics still? It would seem to make sense if they were taken fairly recently for a linked application. 

Yes, they are. Longest I've heard is them reusing 5 year old biometrics...

Instructions for adding/updating yourself (or assisting others) to this list:

Received my docs back.

Weird thing is, with the docs, they included a form saying they had changed my biographical data to match my documents...not sure what they did or meant. Info is same on both. Also, I did not do a name change.

Gigantic cluster F has happened with my passport delivery. 

Delivered to the wrong zip code. And on Sep 30th. 

I have not received my Naturalization Certificate back. 

It's either idiots over at Minneapolis agency or the USPS.

I called the customer service and they told me to wait 2 weeks and if I still have not received it then send DS 86 form with copy of driver's license and they will send me a new passport. 

As for Naturalization Certificate I have to call them if I don't receive it in two weeks. 

 

I have no choice but to wait and vent my silent irritation at the incapacity if these employees to do their job properly. 

 

I really hope it's the USPS that ###### up because the delivery shows it came to my local usps at 4.44 a.m and then sent to wrong zip code. 

This way if can hope atleast my Naturalization Certificate is delivered correctly. 

It's Oct 2nd and informed delivery does not show anything that looks like an envelope carrying Naturalization Certificate. 

 

 

Sorry to hear. Please note, if you do not receive your naturalization certificate, the Dept of State will pay for a replacement. You would need to call in and ask for the address. You then send a letter into them asking for your replacement fees refunded and they will send you a check.

Yes, but expedite is 4-6 weeks.  That terrible for an expedite!

So is waiting 15 weeks...

Yes I think you have to count from when they cashed the check, before that they don't even have the application in their possession

Yes, while I applied on June 29th, they didn't get it until July 8th they said. I had called them to complain that they said they had finished April, May and June. So they told me that my application would be counted as July. Which makes sense...

Receieved approval email today, says I will be getting it by 10/4

The file does not have any personal/sensitive information - just some stats data with made up names, experiences with individuals timelines that will help each other on ETA of your application. 
 

Visa Journey does not sanction the use of the file. You can use what you want, and I will use what I want.

And YES when people log in there, their REAL details are shown. Google it.

I think a more updated list is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_F-5jsaOlgxFWpsVnvsw0WI6hwszquaRQE0oQflpwsA/edit#gid=0

Visa Journey does not recommend this as it is not secure.
