    Hi everyone :) 

     

    So I decided to proceed with my request about I-485 status update with the congressman and sent them whatever USCIS asked to release info about my case. In a couple hours, we got a response from USCIS and they basically said my file was waiting in queue for interview. And today I got a letter from my local USCIS Office and I was in tears for 10 minutes. Interview Letter for October 22nd. I can’t wait to close this period of my life which has been full of worries. I was thinking it would take at least another 6-12 months for an interview. I was in shock with this letter. I’m wondering if contacting my congressman made it any quicker because the letter was sent just after my congressman reached out to them but who knows. 
     

    The idea of being free of all these worries....being free free.....finally having the freedom to move in case I want/need to because I have been avoiding it so that my mailing with USCIS wouldn’t be affected, etc etc etc. I haven’t even got a Greencard yet but it’s so f***ing close and I can’t wait for it. I wanna drink until I loose my consciousness even though I’m not a heavy drinker. Feelings... and more feelings....that’s been suppressed for so long now. Hardest time of my life so far....is about to be over. I just can’t believe I got this letter today. My feelings are all mixed together 🙈
     

    Now I’m asking you to share with me how you guys prepared for your interview. What documents did you take with you? I don’t have a lawyer so I’ll be on my own. Please if someone has a checklist or the list you made before your interview....I’ll greatly appreciate 🙏🙏🙏 @sandranj @Stillwinning!!!😊 @Shroy123 @Claudia16049


    Any VJ family member....please share your experience with me 😊🙈🤞🥰🤗

    I was able to find a psychologist over this weekend, and she said the process is a psych test, one 2-3 hour sessions where I tell the story of my life, and then she'll write the report. That's it.She asked about my personal declaration, but as advised in earlier threads, I should never share it with the psychologist. She's involved with non profits and seems like she's done hundreds of evaluations.

    I did not know that personal declaration should not be shared with the person writing the psychological report. May I ask why guys?

    You have to disclose everything. So does he. Dont try to hide anything, you will get in trouble and there is no reason to hide anything!

     

    Every court is different but generally most courts only consider marital assets and debts that were during the marriage. What you do after separating is usually not considered as 'joint'. Lets say you guys separated and he took out a loan for 10k. The 10K loan should not be split between you. That was his loan, he did it after you guys separated, you have nothing to do with it. So you were able to save for school. Thats great! I hope you looked into FASFA and what kind of financial aid you can get (prima facie will make you eligible). I dont believe there is a Judge anywhere that would declare the savings you accumulated after separation should be considered joint marital assets. You can give your attny a paper trail of the money- showing how you deposited every week for the purposes of saving for school. As long as it all makes sense and can be explained you shouldnt have any issue. If you were to tell me that you guys had a joint account and there was a withdrawal from it for 3600$ right before you separated and you currently have a savings account with 3600$ in it- well then yeah the Judge may say you took $ from the marital assets and would determine what happens to the 3600 that is in your sole account. But thats not what happened. You can show where the money came from in your sole savings account and how it has nothing to do with being related to the marriage. 

     

     

    Thank you so much. I must admit that I’m still nervous about this whole thing. I thought everything would be 50/50 because we are still married though separated over a year now.

     

    I’ve been looking into FAFSA. My prima facie is going to expire in Nov 2020 though and I’m trying to go back to school next Fall.

    Tears of joy streaming down my eyes right now! My daughter's EAD was approved! Just saw it now. I have shared the weird process we've been through on other threads - denied I-485 erroneously, over 1 year of waiting. I took the bold step of writing them a letter few weeks back that they denied my daughter's I-485 erroneously and for them to reopen, and just today I saw this notification! Ladies and gentlemen, sometimes we just have to take the bold step and take out all fear! Once again I appreciate all of you, reading all your posts is a huge pillar for me through this journey

    You should contact your local legal aid office. In some places they do not help with divorce unless there are 'extraordinary circumstances'. They also have guidelines about immigration status. Being a VAWA petitioner makes you eligible for help and a divorce from an abusive spouse also qualifies you as extraordinary circumstances. Many legal aid offices are understaffed so you may qualify for help but they just dont have the means to help you. Try anyway. Let them know you have active divorce proceedings and need representation asap- and that he has an attny so you really need one as well. 

     

    You can also contact the clerk at the local court where the divorce was filed and ask them how you could possibly get the Judge to order your ex to pay for an attny for you since he has one and you can not afford one. It can be very hard to do a divorce on your own when the other side has an attny and you do not- so please explore options on getting yourself an attny. You can also try Catholic Charities. When ever someone tells you no they cant help ask them for a referral to someone who can possibly help. You can also try google for pro bono assistance keeping in mind that being an abuse victim will usually make you eligible for help- so make sure they know you are an abuse victim and his side has an attny and you need help. 

     

    If you can not get an attny anywhere and the court will not force him to pay for yours you need to be very thorough with all the paperwork. Make sure you understand everything that is written and everything you sign. Remember that legal terms dont always mean what they appear. For example in my divorce (which was long and complicated for no reason besides my ex husband being insane) part of the paperwork said something about the credit card debts. That we would each be responsible for our own. Now I took that as all the cards he ran up he was responsible for- even the ones in my name because I provided a list of all our cards and notated which ones were his debts and which ones were mine. (he had a business and opened multiple accounts with rather high limits in both our names and used them for work. I had 2 personal cards with very low limits I used for myself after our separation).  But nope thats not what the wording meant. It wasnt until they came after me for the money and I told them oh no I dont pay those its in the divorce that he pays those did they explain to me that the wording meant cards in my name were my problem and cards in his name were his problem! So please be careful and make sure you understand everything if you can not find an attny. 

     

     

    Hi there. Thank you so much for responding to my post. I do have an attorney that is representing me with my annulment case. I wasn’t able to get through to him yesterday (Friday) so I’ll try Monday morning. My husband and I do not have anything joint, no assets and no debts together. The one joint bank account we had, he closed a month before serving me with annulment papers as it was all his money since I wasn’t working and cancelled my health insurance which I had through him also.
     

    I’m now working since I got my EAD and have been saving for school. Did you have to disclose all your bank balances? Do I have to disclose my bank balances? They ask to list all assets and debts. I have no fixed assets, no house nor car nothing. I am afraid to lose all my little savings to this case and my husband.

    Congratulations hon

    Depends on state laws and regulations. Some for example do extend instate tuition to Deferred Action recipients (which is what a VAWA approval tends to grant you), a few others allow undocumented students to also pay instate but they always require you to have graduated high school in the state in question.

    Yup, CA requires you to be a high school graduate to qualify for instate tuition. So right.

    So I thought VAWA applicants whose cases are pending and have already received a PF were considered temporary protected status holders but I guess I’m wrong. Saying all of that to ask if it’s correct that only GC holders and TPS holders  can get qualified for instate tuition? By the way, has anyone else ran into a situation where they can’t get into nursing school because they’re not green card holders? Want to know if a pending VAWA case can yield any results in this aspect. ....

    Good day all I decided to check my status and saw this . Also my daughter got her ead and advance parole she's is 9 years old.. I applied for her i485 in January under my vawa, paid the fee and boom it was done she was here with me and over stayed for a while (I was a nerves wreck).. I'm excited and nerves.. it's been a long time coming.. it's been 2 years and 4 months since Catholic charities helped me file by the advise of Sandra who's been the one who encourage me to do it.. she played a major role in me believing I could do this. then I moved out of the state I filed and been representing myself and my daughter ever since.. reading and asking questions here help me with ensuring I crossed my T's and dot my I's. Hopefully all goes well with the interview and we get our green card 🙌🏾

    Smiles..😊 referral is simply what it is! I really don't know about other practices, but where I attended, there is a limited number of times for the sesions they offer(which was free to me anyway)..I was told so by my therapist. After the time they allow has lapsed, they can refer you to other reputable practices if they believe you still need more help. They usually include this detail in their report to show you have been referred for more help. Most people get better without needing more therapy. Often you hear folks here complaining about persistent trauma etc..those people need ongoing therapy/counselling. Attending therapy for a brief period of time just to have evidence of abuse will not help you in the long run if you truly need to heal for your own good!👍😊

    👌 👌 understood 

    thanks

    And you're right here...this is nowhere near a psychological evaluation! You might as well present a blank sheet as this is a dead end! @2020filer you need to go to a proper psychologist/counselor..and this is not a one time or brief affair thing...sound evaluation and diagnosis is made after a length of time..accompanying it is the referral. A decent evaluation spans at least 3 through 5pages. In some really complex cases more! It details your trauma, evaluation/diagnosis, your response to help, and referral.👍

    Referral meaning? 🙈

    Why are you scared? The only person that’s worth fearing is God and he’s definitely not that. This is USA, you have rights as a human being regardless of your status. You’ve contacted an attorney, he’s kicked you out, so he should never know where you live again. I changed my number and literally vanished from my ex. I recommend doing the same and keeping communication only through your attorney. If he can prove annulment, then let him try and waste his time. Annulment is not easy in any state. You posted that you have proof showing your marriage is real, so let this fool waste his time. You can only combat fear by standing up to it. He can’t kill you, he can’t touch you and he shouldn’t have any of your contact information in my opinion. If you return his call that will show him he will has control. 

    Thank you for your response dear.
