Hello Friends,

I submitted my vawa application in 2021 and I have not heard back since then. I used to regularly receive a prima facie document which I use in college to receive financial aid. But USCIS haven't sent a new one since the last one expired in july, 2023. I changed address and informed them but don't know if my records have been updated. is there a way to formally request a prima facie and check if my address got update.

Thanks for your time

Filing PERM is better than H-1B dear (if this option is available). 
 

Best advice that no one gave me: Try to get into any company that sponsors GC on day 1 assuming you have a current EAD - Meta, Google, Amazon, etc. I knew this too late and when I got in, they filed my GC while I worked on my VAWA case separately. Basically, I had two petitions at the same time. They also provide attorneys at no cost that helps tremendously. 

Hey Double, thanks. This was exactly my thinking! Thanks for providing that guidance. I work for a company that sponsors PERM and provide attorneys at no cost.

May I kindly asked you.

What is your aim by applying for a H1-b visa when you have a  C09/AP card with a pending I-485?

Guess you are trying to adjust your status through vawa!

Thanks 

 

 

You are right! I was just thinking of the fastest route. The waiting is game is not fun!

Hello house, I applied for VAWA I-360 since 2021. My original I-485 pd is July 20, 2020. I keep receiving PF's every now and then. Since I am about to finish my Bachelor's degree. would it be worth it to have my company file for a H1-b visa, if my vawa is still pending  ?

Hello,

I just received the sudden passing of my Dad and need to travel back him. I have my EAD combo card valid for 2 years. My vawa is still pending. Please can someone confirm how long I can be outside of the US for ? Thanks for all your help ?

I am a VAWA applicant who changed state. I have been trying to change address with the USCIS. I have sent multiple request yet no response. I do not know what else to do. My EAD expired in Nov 2021. I sent a renewal since May 2021 and I am currently on extension. USCIS is not responding to anything. I even used my senator. is there anything else I can do ?

What are some of the benefits of a prima facie determination ? Can I use the letter to get education benefits like in state tuition or financial aid ?

Hello, please I have have a question about EAD renewal. I applied to renew my EAD Combo card May 7th, 2021. I have not heard anything back since then just received receipts. My I485 file is now transferred to the Vermont office but I filed my EAD renewal with NBC. Will this renewal still be processed ? I also applied for I765 (under C09) with my I360 and that is still pending with Biometrics updated. My current EAD is expiring in Nov, even though I have the 180 days extension. I am very anxious.

Hello,

My I-485 family based green card interview is next week June 15th 2021. I already filed I-360 May 24th but do not have the initial response yet. I have a letter telling USCIS to hold my I-485 in abeyance what other documents do I go with ? Also my EAD gotten based on marriage to my abusive spouse is expiring Nov, 2021. I already filed to renew it but I am scared USCIS may not renew it since I my spouse won't be going with me to interview. Would having them hold my I-485 in abeyance cause my EAD renewal to be denied ?

I mistakenly filed a new I-485 along with my I-360 even though I already have an I-485 pending from my previous family based application. However I did not add payments for the new I-485 filed along with the I-360 application. Will USCIS return all the application or just the I-485 since there is no payment for it ?

Have you filed i360? If not I suggest you get to it ASAP! I’m assuming you’ve read the criteria/requirements for qualification and have decided you qualify.. if you’re not sure you can read it again..as you’ll have to present evidences and meet the requirements as I’ve stated. You should aim to go to your interview with the i360 receipt notice and inform the officer that you’ve filed VAWA and ask that your pending i485 be held in abeyance pending when the i360 is decided! Or if you haven’t filed i360 before your interview, you can let them know you intend to and will be sending them the receipt notice within 30 days or so. Be sure to confirm with the officer. 👍

Thank you for your reply. Yes I qualify for I360. Would I need to file the I360 with I485 again ? since i will be requesting that my pending i-485 be held in abeyance. Please along with the I360 what else do i need to file asap

My situation

I came into the US with F-1 visa. During my F-1 OPT, I got married to USC June 10th 2020 and filed a family based i-485 on July 15th 2020. I have since received my Combo EAD and was waiting for my interview to be scheduled.

The Problem

A domestic violent incident occurred on May 5th,2021 (I have the police report ). My USC spouse attacked me and she is been charged with felony. We are currently separated and divorce is been arranged. I received a notification that my interview for the original family based I-485 has been scheduled for June 15th, 2021. But now I am separated because of the domestic violence incident.

My Urgent Question

How do I request USCIS  to have my interview based on the VAWA case and not the family i-485. I know I have to convert my I-130 to I-360 but do I just go to the interview and present my new documents or do I need to contact them before the interview to let them know of my situation. My family based i-485 is fast approaching and I feel like I need to do something fast before that day.

Thank you so much for your help
