i thing my pitition collect dust in vermont ...they never send me 2nd prima facie is that normal

Dear Yahya54,

In couple of weeks, they will touch your case and send you the approval. Wish you all the BEST

Probably it's for your biometrics app....

You know my friend.... I was told by my lawyer that in some cases (that's what he said) he had some cases that battered spouses/petioners are not called in to go to the interview and receive their GC in the mail... ONCE AGAIN, he told me that few weeks ago.... just FYI

It's funny that you mention that, I was actually reading up about that this morning, I read some applicants received their GC in the mail without an interview. We will see what happens, I'm sure I will be interviewed.

Dear lostinNJ,

Advance CONGRAGULATIONS for your Interview or to get the GC without Interview.

Things are moving faster after the I -360 Approval and I am happy to hear about it.

Thanks a lot for sharing the information.

For some reason they usually request either police clearance or good faith marriage or both. Sometimes they request more documentation for evidence of the abuse.

Thanks for the ideas but I double checked a few items that were sent to USCIS originally.

Police Clearance - Provided to them but maybe want an update?

Good Faith marriage - Provided very detailed and documents.

Evidence of abuse - Included photos.

Of course we won't know for sure until the paper shows up. Strange how the don't provide in the email ! ?

I hope this is then processed quickly after sending these items back.

Dear UKRUSA,

Wait for the RFE and send the requried documents and also send a letter which say about your friend's all the problem right from the beginning. Sure they will approve your friend's case.

Hello,

I have a quick question. I want to send more evidence this week. Do I send with the original blue copy or a photocopy?

Should I also include a copy of the prima facie?

I am sending a letter from my landlord and copies of payments, my current medical issues, background checks from places I lived for at least 6 months in the last 3 years. I initially sent in a state backgorund check, but I read somewhere that they prefer cities/counties.

I also have letters from places I volunteer and a declaration from my ex- brother-in-law. I have thought of getting a declaration from school officials and pastor, but are saving them for RFE.

Now people, I do not have an attorney. Anyone gone thru without an attorney? I read thru the requirements and figured I could do it on my own. The catholic charities here have a long waiting line of 3 months.

What are my chances?

Dear MulanJohns,

If you filed your I-360 through an attorney then its good to go through him/her.

If you filed by yourself, YES you can submit a photocopy of the blue sheet in a blue sheet. (hope you understand what I am try to say.) USCIS need that blue paper to add all the additional evidence on your file. so they need them. so you can take a photocopy in a blue paper. I did it with the STAPLES and the lady helped me out.

Yes its always better to keep you all the prima facie and the receipt notice. Nothing wrong in provide more information. Don't forget to write in the envelope "VAWA" in big letters.

I didn't everything by myself and I wish you all the best. I can't afford a attorney. But you really need one as EWTN said Catholic charities is helping us for free or $20 min charge.

Diama also mentioned some link in the previous postings where you have bunch of informations.

I-360 process simply adds to the cruelty of the victims of violence.

I feel better now after venting!!

Dear UKRUSA,

Soon you friend will get the approval don't worry. I highly recommend you friend to write a letter to USCIS about her present situation and also about all the past situations (NON sense) which she gone through and sent it along with the blue page and the extension of the PRIMA FACIE.

Atleast you're there to help her. You are really a wonderful being by helping others. I am really that you're helping a person who is going through a lot of problem.

My counselor use to tell me. You are throwing out the Frustation about your life by crying, its really good rather than keep it on your own. She said my office is really a place to lower your burden slowly and its TRUE. Whenever I go to her office I think I shouldn't cry but I couldn't hold If I started saying about my problems and I will say sorry and she says don't worry its fine and its really good to through your frustation out by sharing with others and also she use to say never hurt yourself.

Take care and we will hope for the BEST ASAP.

I don't know Honest! That's my question every single day . . . I stopped counting months and days on my case because I got depressed . . . Mine is a guiness record in VAWA processing times . . .

Dear EWTN,

Don't worry and Don't get depressed. I understand saying is easy but honestly wait, soon you will get the APPROVAL on your case. I Wish you all the best.

It is touched again today.

Why they are touching it if I didn't reply yet?

Dear Diama,

I hope that there is high chances of approving your case today. I wish you all the best.

T H A N K Y O U G U Y S . . . I need an answer . . . I'm overhelmed for all this stressful process . . . We'll see what decision they take

So how is everyone doing tonight? Anymore approvals? Well I know this can be a daunting wait so if anyone need to talk, a good laugh whatever it is, I'm here.

WE WILL WAIT FOR EWTN's APPROVAL PRETTY SOON.

It's coming pretty soon

Dear EWTN,

I really wondering what's making the USCIS officer delaying to give a APPROVAL on your case. I feel you're very close to the approval.

That's funny ... after mine was approved I woke up in the middle of the night to double check just in case it was a dream.

hey lost in, you seems your in good mood.... that good

so tell me how your felling when you got the news approved after so long?

I still can't believe it, I sometimes double check the website to see if I was really approved lol

Same with me. I checked couple of times to make sure its my case number and also to know whether it is a dream or in real life

So how is everyone doing tonight? Anymore approvals? Well I know this can be a daunting wait so if anyone need to talk, a good laugh whatever it is, I'm here.

WE WILL WAIT FOR EWTN's APPROVAL PRETTY SOON.

Do you have to pay for EAD when you're renewing it?

Don't worry lostinNJ, you will get your GC within 3 months and you don't need a EAD.

During your GC interview they will take your EAD back.

My best wishes to get the interview ASAP

Same here! I never received biometrics appointment and got my EAD approved for 2 years.

Hi you guys. I just came on to update my signature, I had my biometrics done yesterday at 9 in the morning and at 6 yesterday evening I got an email letting me know that the production of my EAC had been ordered! Yyyeeee! That was fast. Finally I can work!

Praying for all of you...

CONGRAGULATIONS ON YOUR EAD & BEST WISHES TO GET THE GC ASAP .

I APPLIED FOR EAD ON 17TH SEP 2009 AND GOT THE RECEIPT ON 23RD BUT STILL WAITING FOR FINGER PRINTING. I APPLIED TO VERMONT SERVICE CENTER AND I THINK THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON FOR THE DELAY.

I never did finger print for my EAD

I called the USCIS and they said you have to wait for your fingerprint. I asked that I am in deferred action under c(14) category as I married to a PR. Even then they said you have to get the fingerprint first to get the EAD. I don't know what's their way of processing the stuff.

USCIS updated processing time for VAWA

As of August 31,2009 they were working on July 29, 2008

I hope USCIS might be working on the August 2008 or September 2008 cases now because we are in OCT 2009.

Check this website for your RFE http://www.asistahelp.org/vawa.htm and also the link which you posted in this forum.

dima i thing that good that mean they are working on your case , i sent letter twice and every time they just toched and i didnt herd any thing . my attorney send letter to VSC for extinsion for my prima facie since i never got one after my firest one expier will see this time if they going to send me somthing

do gays thing life is about luck or been smart....somtime you do the best you can and leave the rest to god

good luck for all of us .....!!! we need it

Yahya, I never have a problem with prima facie, my lawyer is very good about it. USCIS wants almost beg them to do something.

I think during a month they will give you an answer. Good luck!

Prima facie is good for nothing to get any other benefits. Its good to extend and keep your case upto date as it will expires after the specified date in the Prima Facie. you have to write a letter to request for an extension of Prima Facie atleast 15 days before. I use to write a letter 30 days before as USCIS takes more time.

Good Luck to all of you.

Honest do u have an interview date as of yet and do you know how long it takes to get an interview?

Dear lostinNJ,

I married to a Green Card (Permanent Resident) Holder and I applied only for EAD (to Vermont Service Center) as I have to wait for the visa number to be available for my country. I don't have money to apply for Green Card & Parole. something is better than nothing. Its almost a month now and no letter from USCIS for my EAD fingerprint. I have get job save some money for my PR.

I trying to get a job and everywhere they are asking for GC, EAD or any other non immigrant working visa.

I taught of going for school and its very very expensive to pay my tution fees and for the loan, I am not eligible that's what the university people are saying. Its a big procedure and we have to spend hell lot of money.

Ghanamade & Gaberila post bunch of information about applying and also regarding the interview dates? I am really unable to help you as I don't have experience or information. Some other members also posted some info regarding interviews. if you get a time just go through it.

I heard from my counselor that you will get it within 2 weeks to 6 weeks for an interview date which depends upon the officer moving the files from Vermont Service Center to the NBC/Lock box location. They said you can see the touchs few days after the approval that it will transfer from vermont.

I wish you a GOOD LUCK and also HAPPY that you got a job in DELTA.

I really feel very sad about EWTN, waiting pretty long time. I am sure EWTN will get a good news very soon.

As for me, nothing is new. After I sent a letter requesting extension of my prima facie my lawyer got the extension for 60 more days again and FINALLY he sent a letter to vermont office requesting status of my case since my next hearing for proceedings is coming up and there is no decision taken on my vawa case. Letter was sent last week, so I hope to get at least "a touch" in my case within this week, just to know that they received his letter. Other than that, there is no more news.... What could it be? I think I have done almost everything that it was on my hands to get a decision on my case, I sent letters to vermont because my case is out of processing times, requests for extension of prima facie cases because my alwyer never requested one, contacted congress people without sucess, went to catholic charities and get another point of view from their lawyer, called 1-800 number and get no info at all from them, sent emails to Vermont, bothered my lawyer every single week... I mean what else I could do? I haven't get any RFE, I started thinking that I would rather to get a RFE than this silence...

GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR PRAYING FOR ME, I TRULY APPRECIATE IT

Dear EWTN,

They will definitely touch your case. I hope you attorney definitely wrote a good request letter to Adjudicate your case.

you will hear a good news pretty soon.

You're almost there

DEAR FRIENDS !!!!!!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR KEEPING ME IN YOUR PRAYERS....As of now, no answer, no touches, no updates.... Finally my lawyer sent a letter requesting status of my case to Vermont office last week because my next calendar hearing is coming up and the judge did not want to cancel my proceeding process against me until receive an answer from VAWA .

PLEASE KEEP PRAYING FOR ME !!!

EWTN hang in there it's coming... I'm praying for u and everyone else here.

Dear All,

I Wish all of you a GOOD LUCK to get the approval ASAP.

Anyone been touched twice and approval soon after? Or has everyone been touched 3 times, then approval? When NOID is sent out is it posted on USCIS web site? Does anyone know?

Dear lostinNJ,

Mine also touched twice and got the APPROVAL.

Did you get a job.

You guys have been my back bone throughout this journey and there's not enough word for me to say thank you for everything, especiall etwn, omg you've been by my side every day and held me up when I lost all hope. Thank you so much. Everyone I was approved this morning and I'm in shock I can't believe it. Omg I'm just in shock and I really can't even speak right now.

Dear lostinNJ,

CONGRAGULATION ON YOUR APPROVAL.

I TOLD YOU EARLIER ITS YOUR APPROVAL. I FELT THAT THE FIRST 2 TOUCHs IS FOR YOUR APPROVAL AND IT IS.

I WISH YOU A VERY BEST OF LUCK for your future.

Well I got another touch on my case today. A little nervous.

Dear lostinNJ: I am sure its going to be your APPROVAL

I hope so Honest. ETWN everything will work out for you my dear. Have no fear. I'm praying for you and everyone else here.

Dear lostinNJ: You will get the APPROVAL on monday 12th Oct or Tuesday 13th Oct for sure

Thanks Mona Lisa! I think my case is going to be a RECORD in this forum. I haven't heard anyone whose their case hasn't been approved after 20 months of filing. It's just unbelievable that there is no touches, no RFE, no decision, nothing on my case . . Sometimes I think it got lost at Vermont office. I'm exhausted of waiting, I really am...

Have a blessed weekend to all

EWTN, I wish I had some new advice to offer. I really feel for you. What does your attorney say, that you should keep waiting? If I were you I would besiege vermont with letters, I would write one every week. I really wish for the best for you, I know how frustrating it is.

On my side, my I 131 application got approved, but i intend to stay put, following on advice i have seen here.

Dear EWTN,

DON"T WORRY. Please write a letter to USCIS office about your situation and also request them to adjucate your VAWA case.

My Best Wishes for you to get the approval ASAP.

Well I got another touch on my case today. A little nervous.

Dear lostinNJ: I am sure its going to be your APPROVAL

MY BEST WISHES TO ALL OF YOU TO GET THE APPROVAL ASAP
