They do not send the EAD category  C31 before VAWA approval, many people had the  I-360 approved and they did not know about the approval until the  AOS interview date. 

Thank You! 

I have received a EAD C31 two weeks ago and so far no approval notice. 

There was a update on my I360 about a card being produced.  Week later the C31 arrived!

Thank you for your time.

@sandranj  Hi Sandra, 

Do you have any idea why USCIS is sending EAD C31 before vawa approval letter?

Thank you

Do you mind me to ask what evidence did you provided about mental abuse? 

Police report, text messages, psychological evaluation. 

only got 1 RFE. It was for Good moral character.

I’m male too. I am so worried about my case before I saw your post. I thought female has more advantages than male in the vawa case. But I know I’m wrong. My ex wife is not a physical abuser. She is a mental absuer. I sent a psychological evaluation to USCIS. Can someone will get approval based mental abuse?

I had strong evidence of mental abuse. My case was approved under mental abuse.  Stay calm, you have a long journey. My case took 19 months

More than enough. Im male too and had a case approved weeks ago with less prove of bonafide.

If you have received two EADs and have an I-485 pending, use category C9 and make and InfoPass appointment to hand in the other. Seems like USCIS is making mistakes right now issuing C31 cards for all VAWA approvals. They are messy, so it is best to go to InfoPass and talk to an IO and give one card back. 

One of the VJ member got the EAD C31 first and a week later a approval notice.

Quick question, Digonyc. Did you get a tracking number from the postal service before you got your c31 ead? Thank you.

No. It only said “Card is being delivered”.  It didn’t take longer after the update.  Card arrived a week later.

What the heck, that is super unusual!  My VAWA was approved back in March and I'm still waiting to hear anything about my EAD. 

you got the approval notice but no ead c31 yet?

Thank you for your response. I've been going crazy trying to figure out what that meant. I initially thought it was a mistake. What's even stranger is that if that's the case there's no approval notice. Have you gotten any I-360 approval notice along with the new EAD?

Not yet. We have another member with the same case as our that got a approval notice after the ead card arrived. Im waiting

Hello everyone. I was hoping someone can help me out if they are or have been in a similar situation. I got a case status update for my I-360 receipt, Card being produced came up a few days ago and then it went to New card has been mailed. I haven't had an interview or updates on I-485. How can a card be approved from my vawa petition? I thought I would get a notice on my I-485. What kind of card can that be? I filed in february 2017. No rfe's.

I had the same update. A week later a EAD C31 arrived. This card is only supposed to be issued after a approval case

15 minutes ago, Tortmaster said:

Hmm how come you filed under C31 with your spouse being a US citizen? Was that just an oversight? Because you get your EAD quicker filing under C9

C31 category is for a approved vawa. I had 2 EAD card C09 before!

I receive this exact notice this morning just a different date...my question is how soon after you received this do you get an update on your case? waiting 85 days so far for EAD.... this is my first email or update received.

My EAD took about 90 days to arrive. U still good

Citizen. I had 2 other EAD card before the c31 category

Has anyone tried to expedite their EAD with VAWA pending?

I sent my first petition based on marriage and EAD request in October 2017 but still haven't received EAD and they have sent me RFE asking for my husband's tax return which he won't provide. Then I had to file VAWA this May.  I really need a job, I can't wait another 5-6 months. I can't go anywhere, I can't buy quality food, I have to wear same shabby clothes. I have biometrics appointment soon, is there anything I can do to help myself in this situation when I go to USCIS? My attorney said that their office never applied for expedite before and I have to do it myself, if I want.

19 months for EAD?

My 8th month of waiting doesn't seem so bad now

The EAD C31 is only available for approved vawa

Go to infopass to inquire about it,if you didn’t file form l485 yet you will need the l360 approval letter.
