Hi VJ family,

I am Oct 2018 filer and my I-360 just got approved. They issued new EAD under C31. My lawyer said there is no conflict in having both. Whenever the later one is going to expire, I’ll need to renew. 

My combo card is expiring soon so I need to renew as I am traveling to my home country. 
 

Should I renew only the AP or combo card? Is there a fee if only AP renewal?

Thanks so much for any advise.

Copy of the EAD to be renewed is fine. You don't need to submit the approval.😊👍obviously you're using an attorney..he should know what to send out..

Thanks for helping always ☺️

Hello Everyone!!

I am submitting my work permit renewal.

Do I need to include approved receipt for my last EAD or the copy of my work permit card?

My lawyer sent me only copy of I-485 & I-360 and not the approved receipt of EAD.

Thank you in advance guys 🙏

I've filed EAD renewal myself not even asking my lawyer, also change of address and a lot of many other inquiries to the Vermont Service Center.

So, do not worry and file it.

 

Thanks for advice 🙏

No question is considered stupid, we learn everyday. 
 

-attach your i-485 receipt 

-attach your i-360 receipt 

-two color passport photos

- your copy of previous EAD and approved receipt for last EAD 

- copy of DL/international travel passport 

- customs I-94 

 

 

Thank you 🙏 

Hello Everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well ☺️

My lawyer agreed that I will file my own renewals for combo card. 

Do I need to include copy of my pending AOS application?

I will send it to Vermont address? (sorry for stupid question)

Thank you for help guys 🙏

Just inform your attorney you cannot afford this amount and if you can file it yourself.... Communication is key , if your lawyers said is ok, you can file your EAD renewal on your own many people on the forum had done it. 

Thank you for the reply. So the USCIS will honor my application too? Even I have a lawyer?

Appreciate your response 🙏

Yes. if your have pending I485, you can file it by your own you dont need an attorney 

Thank you for the reply, I already have an attorney who filed my VAWA.

I’m thinking to withdraw because I don’t want to pay 500 for combo renewal but my VAWA is not yet approved. I applied Oct 2018.

Like it says 'combo' it's one card two benefits! I wonder why your attorney wants to play dirty! If you have the money go ahead and get your stuff done, if not.. Put your foot down and negotiate with him reasonably!💁👍

Thank you 🙏 

Good Morning Everyone!

My combo card is expiring on April 2020.

My lawyer is charging me 250 usd each (Atty’s fee)for the renewal. 

Is work and travel permit should filed separately? I thought this is combo.

Appreciate your answer.

If read it, thankfully doesn’t apply to Vawa applicants.

Yes! Thanks God

Thanks @FridayGirl@69

This is so scary! I never applied for

public benefits but this will make more applications delay ☹️

Good morning all! 

I am October 2018 filer and still have my VAWA pending. I got my EAD and AP combo on April 2019. 

I would like to travel outside US but not in my home country. Is it safe to travel with my VAWA pending?

Thanks for the reply 🙂

I saw someone on here applied for EAD based on pending i485 (c9) on  12/26/2018 and they already got an update that the card is being produced 04/09/2019.

 

I applied 12/31/2019 soo that makes me happy that I might get myn soon.

 

Anyone else applied in December and got their EAD/ Work permit?

 

 

You will be next 🙏🙏 I applied 12/26/2018 and I got my card on hand 04/12/2019.

one Question this EAD is for I360 ?? Or did you apply for I765 (C09)

This is my first EAD based on VAWA under C09. 

My EAD based on marriage was denied due withrawal of my husband.

Just now, FridayGirl@69 said:

Your I360 got approved, Congratulations 🎉🍾 

Oh no it’s category C9.

Maybe it will take a year for my I360 approval 😊

Patiently waiting..

Good morning everyone 😊

After 3 months and 2 weeks of waiting, finally I got this message.

Filed on Dec 26, 2018 (First EAD)

Does it takes a week to receive the card?

Thank you 🙏

 Thanks Modu. I travel back to my home country no visa. The only country that I apply for visa is KOREA I apply here in L.A

Hi @CASTIEL 

Congrats on your VAWA approval! 

I hope you don’t mind me asking if you travel to Korea using your AP and came back to US with no problem? Or are we only allowed to travel to our home country?

I don’t have EAD & AP yet. I just filed it on Dec ‘18 and hopefully I will get it on time.

Thank you!

Hi guys. I need help please 

 

my VAWA was approved but I - 485 denied due to abandonment. Letter says I have 30 days to leave country. Can I apply for new I-485 based on approved VAWA? 

 

 

Hi @Mnmnm

I got the same denial letter. So my attorney sent a letter immediately to National Benefits Center alerting them of my pending VAWA case at the Vermont Service Center. She included a copy of my I-360 reciept and Prima Facie Determination. She asked them to refrain from issuing a Notice to Appear as VSC adjudicates this matter. I filed new I-485 with a fee of 1,225 usd as they denied my fee waiver. 

Hope this helps.

He can file a FOIA to have a copy of your file, but he can't file the FOIA with USCIS, he must file with the  U.S. Department of State 

Thanks @sandranj for the information.

I agree with @Ilo. Me too I have a question: does government shutdown means that they will hold temporary  the adjudication of VAWA?

Maybe @ahmad- pertaining on this news below: https://www.npr.org/2018/12/24/679838115/violence-against-women-act-expires-because-of-government-shutdown
