You committed a felony ( what was it ? ) was deported and reentered without inspection after that ? Even though you have a VAWA claim you seem to be basically ineligible otherwise. I don't think you are able to file a waiver even if you had a USC that could show hardship.

Igwe na ikwu ezi okwu... Your point is flat no one knows how it will go. Any way what are the waivers? Do you know?

Even more impressive that I thought:

False Asylum Claim

Multiple marriages seeking a GC

Even Mother abuses her visitor visa and stays and adjusts.

Presumably last wife was not playing ball so smacks in a VAWA and we all know how legitimate many of those are.

And Nigerian, sometimes you can not make it up!

I was going to suggest a troll as he hits so many bases, sadly I think the story is true.

Well, You have your opinion and I have mine. Your world is perfect and mine is not perfect and I have to fix mine for myself as I will continue to stay away from your kind. I am not sure what you are doing here but you are not of help to anyone including yourself. You don't need to be here my friend find something better to do with your time. You don't have to bother with trolls like me ok. Just ignore that we ever talked shallom.

What are you adjusting status from?

VAWA

He states has EWI so no status.

That might be wrong cause I sought asylum when I entered they held me for some questioning and then the NJ asylum officer came to my rescues I proved positive for PDRC. That is a threshold hearing that means they checked your stories to see if you are lying. After they cut me loose in 9 months. Dont they have to parole me in of something. I was placed on supervised release. I do have an approved VAWA just to let you know. Thanks.

I think what happened is:

Entered illegally

Committed felony, served part of sentence and deported.

Re entered illegally, which is another feloney.

VAWA poster boy

Seemingly his mother is here visiting him, wonder of she mentioned he was here when applying for a visitor visa.

You are wrong because you are too quick to judge people you don't know. You think you are better than anyone here. Immigrants with there hardship still strife make their life and your life better let me tell you. Do you know who put in the most patent in this country. Do you know who heads most science departments in this country. Do you know who babysit your kids while you are at work. Do you know who picks your apple that you eat at lunch. Yes some are pure evil. There are very nice ones as well. Many people came here with good intentions but they made mistakes that follows them around still they keep there head up and try to create businesses and pay taxes because their life depend on it. What do you understand about that? I know that you have never live without food or worry about your next meal. Have fought again't malaria before? You are a white bread and buttered fellow with know understanding of what life is on the other side of the globe. I hope that God will help all those willing to turn a new leaf and do better. Life will go on and I will make it no matter what the odd may be. It had been 5 years a guy like you said that my VAWA will never be approved. After three applications it was approved ok.

i got this letter dated April 22 2015. I get a negative decision on AOS.

Reasons for Denial

1. 10 year bar-- This make me inadmissible under INA 212(a)(9)©. You also did obtain consent to reapply for admission after removal period specific in the above.

INA 212(a)(9)(A) and © and 245(a)(2). INA 212(a)(9)(A)(ii)(II)--> Bar and entering under removal respectively.

2. They said that I didn't have a valid birth certificate

3. I have not established my ID because I was EWI. Do you think my 82 year old can help me on the Birth certificate as ID she is visiting now?

She did an affidavit in 2007 which turns out to be of different date mistaken by one date of the last affidavit she sent. USCIS is using that against me.

4. They also cited INA 212(a)(2)(A)--Yes it was felony which happened in 1996. I pleaded after 6 months (under a year and max was 5yr) and probation didn't go to prison.

They pulled all my record civil and criminal. They even went as far as school records and court records. How can I jump this hurdles? I hope someone can help me out here on how to go about this issues.

******************************************************************Factum**********************************************************************

I first arrived in 1994. I got in trouble in 1996. Through a lawyer I took out voluntary departure after that, in 1997 I went o Canada.

I returned USA in 2005. I declared asylum at the airport. They locked me up for 9 months after verifying what I told them. I got released in june 2006.

The asylum turned into withholding only hearing because of the felony. I was under supervised release for a long time as the condition of release. I got married to a USC which I later didn't follow through as I pulled the I-130. I didn't use that but it still counts. How? I don't know because I-130 was pulled. Later I remarried in 2010. Files VAWA in 2011. After a

long hard fight VAWA got approve in Aug. 2014.

My sister is a USC she file I-130 for me in 2008 that one was approve too as well the one Ex-spouse filed in 2010. My sister brought my mother on a visitors visa and she already started adjusting her status. She is here legally tho I think you should know that.

Now I will like to adjust my status and they are using previous violation and present entry against me. Earlier last year the court dismissed the withholding after I sublimed on the Vawa application--The court new that the vawa was approved. VAWA is not a legal status but protects one from possible deportation: Correct me if I am wrong but it doesn't make any sense here. I don't understand why they can't just allow me to remain in peace and move around freely. So I am asking if anyone had seen a thing like this before please help me.

i got this letter dated April 22 2015. I get a negative decision on AOS.

They are no longer transferring to CSC, everything stays at NBC (MSC) or you will get transferred to the local field office for your interview.

Can Anyone Explain What This Means to me?

Hello I am a vawa self applicant too ,my case was approved in august 2011 and I have interview next week .I didnt use a lawyer did everything myself and I am going to the interview alone with no lawyer but my 2 kids who I came with from my country as they came on a k2 visa and I came on a k1 visa.

Go to this vawa forum http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/315899-vawa-part-2/ read people's experience ,hope it helps and all the best God bless.

My VAWA is finally approved and I want you to know just last Wednesday. Thanks.

Now my VAWA is approved. How can I get a hold of the ICE prosecutor to let him/her know if it; that way when I got to court for my withdolding it will be dismissed without them oppossing the proceedings at all?

By so doing the road will be cleared for AOS.

harry6 vawa Unit does not handle inadmissibility,then they approve cases without considering things such as misrepresentation,fraud,public charge etc...the local office will be responsible to see if there is any inadmissibility when adjudicating AOS. It's not common to have AOS denied after Vawa approval, but it happens, it happened with at least 10 people from VJ in the past 3/5 years.

Doesn't VAWA absolve all kinds of inadmissability? I see you mentioned misrepresentation, fraud and public charge (welfare assistance). I will like to know what you really mean by that. Again, do you know the reason why these ten ( 10) people were rejected for AOS. Thanks.

Congrats! My understanding of this incredulous phenomenon is that the two petitions require different proofs. So it's possible to prove your I-360 case, while it may be difficult to prove your I-485 case.

I also see conceptually that VAWA is designed to expeditiously take a victim out of precarious situation. With pending VAWA, the victim (including a child victim) is sort of still dealing against the individual offender. The AOS is already a non-emergency process toward permanent residency, where a petitioner is dealing solely with federal bureaucracy.

But if someone knows real (more knowledgable) explanation - it would be good to hear

How so I waited four (4) years for VAWA. In this case they made me relive every painful details. I had to even go back 6 years to get documents for my first wife. They even threatened me with misrepresentation all kind of stuff. I am glad it is over now. I had to go to the pastor and her kid's school to get documents in which the school recgnized me as the step-father after 6 years. What if the pastor had died and the school had no records? Then they will say that I was a sham right! VAWA is not what you think it is my friend. All case is different in my case I broke the record of waiting on VAWA for 4 years no one has. I am happy but to tell you the truth I have been in hell with the whole ordeal. I spent every dime I got towards the lawyer's fees. I remained hungry just to pay of lawyers. I am crying as I write you as you will never understand the pain. God will bless the weak and contrite in heart.

I see so what are the conditions of AOS? As you well know I didn't have an I-94 I was first an Asylee. I am in proceeding while the VAWA got approved too.

harry66 I didn't understand the meaning to post my message with your approval.I answered your question why they asked the disposition.

Congratulations for the approval.But keep in mind that a Vawa approval it does not means the alien will have the AOS approved.

It is really a good start for me. So what do you think? Is it really difficult to get AOS? Why would they approve if they know you might not get AOS?

They want to see what happened with your case, if you were convicted ,or your case was dismissed or what...if convicted then your case may be denied,it will depend of the conviction.

Finally the VAWA GOT APPROVED. It from Dec 29th 2010 to July 23rd 2014. :joy: :joy: :joy: :joy:

Many said that this day will never come and today it is here.

All praises goes to God-Jehovah.... He is my God forever.

Yogesh_M ... I got another RFE this today. This time it was nothing about the two marriages. It is now about the disposition of my 1996 conviction.

Does anyone have an IDEA of what they are trying to to do with this here?

Harry,

Thanks for you response, sir.

What marriage your VAWA petition was based on? 1st or 2nd marriage? Are you still married?

What is your current status? I thought you were in removal proceedings before you married. Read INA 204(g)

I am not a lawyer, just a guy in a similar situation

I understand my friend. Everything is in God's hands. Only God decides what happens. As humans we must keep trying.

I am married to the current woman that I got VAWA prima facie with. Praise God AND don't worry it will be fine.

Hey Harry,

Thanks for sharing your story on the forum. Here is what understood so far, correct me if I am wrong:

- You filed your 1st I-360 in 2011 and it was denied basically for not proving anything (good faith, abuse, good moral character, residence)

2010

- You re-filed your I-360 the same year and now in 2013 you got the RFE for the same exact reasons your first I-360 was denied, right?

2010. I got RFE in 2011 after that another on 2013 that is the present one asking about 6 years ex.

So question number 1)

What was the difference between your 1st and 2nd I-360s? I mean what additional evidence you submitted, what did you change/add in your declaration? 2)

I did not change my declaration the lawyer included other important things. The first one had no paper work from the judge plus restraining order. The second also shows that she have gotten two kids bearing but the states DNA shows they weren't mine. There was also a report from psychologists. Letters from people that live in the apartment. You mentioned that you had 2 USC wives. Did both of them file I-130 petition for you?

Yes but one was withdrawn and another was approved.

If yes, were you interviewed by INS and what was the outcome?

The interview was intense and in the end it got approved.

3) You also mentioned somewhere that you had (or still have?) an asylum application pending since 1994? What was the outcome of that asylum case?

The case was never heard at all because the country condition changed.

4) If you were in asylum/removal proceedings, when did you marry your first wife?

I only had CAT (withholding only). The first was approx 2 years after I got here.

5) What evidence of bona fide marriage/residence/abuse do you have?

Many pictures. email letters phone records, leases etc While the VAWA has so many things thus they are trying to go back to the first one.

If you married your wife (the one who abused you) after the removal proceedings were initiated against you, I'd suggest to cancel your VAWA application and save your money/time/energy for something else. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to scare you. Just read the law and you will understand everything.

VAWA is mostly people in proceedings you know.

What part of the law is that? I will like to read it. You are missing something. Ok this is it. I was in the USA back in 1994(business visa). I left in 1997 because I was asked to leave voluntarily. Afterwards I returned seeking asylum at the airport 8 years later. That is when I got the intent/reinstatement of removal order: That is how I got the EWI. I was not able to prove that I left in 1997. I was detained for 9 months and released after passing a credible fear. I got married to the first USC and the application was never adjudicated because it was withdrawn. Thereafter, I got with the second one and now I got I-130 approved with a VAWA RFE now. Today the RFE admits that I left in 1997. if it is so, it then means that I was not liable for expedited removal but a normal one.

The RFE asked no question about the spouse upon which it was sought. It basically went asking about the ex-wife whether or not I lived with her. Basically, it anticipates that I didn't live with her while in fact I did. They want me to show my intent with that one. It is almost like I am doing a new VAWA EVIDENCE only in this case with the ex. Note nothing was asked about the present one. Read this carefully and add your input accordingly. Thanks.

So what was happened with your first marriage?

Did you file AOS from first wife & what was the outcome?

Whats the gap between two marriages?

I withdrew the first marraige I-130 because she left me three times. I pursued her to her home state and things got really bad.

I have no choice but to withdraw it becaue I thought it will change things... Even after withdrawal I was still with her and I left 6 months after the withdrawal to support my thriving business in WI. Since the new business in her state made no money and the thriving business needs me.

I have to go before I becaome a destitute. She never supported me and we had no AOS. The gap between the two marriages is about 2 years.

I have one more problem. She called the cops one time on me. I am trying to to get the 911 account but I don't know the exact date. I will like to know if there is a way to get the record.

That is what I told him. How about the condition set in 241(a)5 doesn't it bar someone?

EWI does not prevent someone from adjusting through VAWA: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Laws/Memoranda/Static_Files_Memoranda/Archives%201998-2008/2008/vawa_11apr08.pdf

Fire that lawyer.

That is what I told him.

Capri

I have never heard of VAWA unit doing a full background check have you? Harry, the statements about bona fide marriage should have been sent in with the original paperwork..Did you maintain all copies, if so use the same statements if they need more try to find more, sometimes you can mail in 10 and they will want more. Harry did you do this paperwork by yourself? or did a lawyer do this to you? please slow down when you file all paperwork make sure you have all paperwork "sing" with everything you have mailed in. Otherwise like Capri says it not look good and you will be denied, some cases Harry, the applications are taking only 5 months (had a petition I prepared approved in 6 months:)) it happens like sandraj says there is no ryme or reason for the time lines and the VAWA unit is VERY backed up and the unit is VERY good at checking details of all of the cases, BE CAREFUL and slowdown when doing this stuff and DO NOT miss any court hearings dates or anything else to screw your file up even more, sorry for the blunt talk. Brian 1967##

I did send everything required .... It seems that he issue is with my previous marriage which was 6 years ago. They want to see the intent and make sure that I lived with her since I withdrew the application. They want me to get all these paper work after six years. I am also a INA 212(a)(9)b. I am not even sure if I can adjust status. They said EWI can not adjust status unless they are INA 212(a)(9)a. The lawyer I consulted says that 241(a)5 bars my relief since I have a intent/reinstatement of removal.

I only have BIA appeal for withholding since I missed the court date plus the VAWA RFE. I am yet to respond to the RFE. I haven't found any lawyer yet. The one I spoke to now makes things sound really bad for me. I have no clue what to do now.
