Anajnic, the only reason I tried to rush the review of my I-360 is because I am not eligible to apply for employment authorization until my vawa gets approved (my husband is LPR). Otherwise, I would not bother doing what I did. I do not have any money to pay for rent, no money for food, I have college debt to pay back - that is why I tried to expedite. If you were in my situation you would definitely understand why I was doing that. It is so easy to judge when you don't know what the other person was going through and why he/she did what they did.

maybe Sandra could repeat her EXTREMELY important pointer: she at least once mentioned that some got EAD quickly (what are the recent examples, and how quick?), despite the spouse being just LPR. One other distinction: have they applied for EAD right from the start (concurrently with I-360) and without I-485? If not done in the initial submission, is it ADVISABLE to try this midway in your (seemingly 12 months right now) waiting period - like concurrently with request of PF extension?

Again, the gist of the question is applying for EAD without I-485 pending! Which shouldn't be accepted in theory, but may work(?) Sandra did caution that there can be no guarantee - but is there any risk at all? How to get fee waiver?

So in summary: what are the precise sequential steps in this stealth process? Is it fair to be asking a pro-bono lawyer to submit for EAD and fee waiver, without I-485? Or is this something a lawyer just can't do...

I Have no idea what you talking about judge. You have no idea as well for my situation, however ,my comment was definitely taken out of context .nevertheless, despite expediting or not, it does not mean an approval. With the sensitivity of Vawa I dont believe its wise to call these people all the time. if that is judging well the word Judge has definitely taken new terminology.. I wont respond further to this. Be well

Anajnic, in your previous post you said you "did not understand why folks do that" (try to expedite I-360). I provided the reason why - they need to work in order to survive. That is all.

Godhelppusal when did you file vawa? if you filed less than 3 months ago probably they are asking police clearance, but if you filed over 1 year ago then the RFE should be regarding bonafide married or to prove domestic violence or mental abuse.

[Sandra G. 5,016]

A few days ago some members were discussing if having kids prove a bonafide marriage.The answer is NO. What prove bonafide marriage is commingling finances and commune residence, of course having a child increase the chance for approval, but it does not matter if you have 1,2 ,3 kids with your ex spouse and not commingling finances proof because they will deny your case. Since Monday 3 people from VJ- thread 3 contacted me, all of them have children with the abusers and all of them got RFE asking to submit more evidences of bonafide marriage,then as you can see having kids is not enough.

singledad uscis will not accept form I-485 filed by an LPR spouse if If an immigrant visa number is not available, but we have in the VJ thread 3 at least four LPR spouses that filed I-485 along with form I-765and they got their EAD even not having an immigrant visa number available.

To file for fee waiver you have to submit form I-912 along with form I-485 and I-765 and mention you do not have any savings and assets and you need to pay rent,buy food,medications, basic needs etc.

Ok. So if lank submit all 3 forms tomorrow, how soon might she have (of course, no guarantee) EAD in hand? Also, how long after that does SSA take to verify EAD, and assign an individual a SSN?

[Godhelpusall 2]

hi guys,

l filed for vawa in July '12, l had a police clearance letter. so what is the difference between a good moral character and a clearance police letter. l can't wait to her what the lawyer has to say now. please pray for me. l have given all to the LORD MY GOD. my ex wouldn't file taxes adding my name but he put the children and our home add.

[Sandra G. 5,016]

singledad2usa 2 of the girls received the EAD after 25 days of submitting form I-765, and one of them got the USCIS email stating about the approval, but she is just waiting to get in the mail, I think her EAD took around15/20 days.

[Sandra G. 5,016]

Godhelpusall I don't believe your RFE is regarding good moral character at all, because you submitted already the police clearance. Usually proof of moral good character they ask before issuing the first prima facie, probably they are asking for you to submit evidences of bonafide marriage or to submit more evidences of the abuse suffered. Try to relax you will find out soon.
