I'd assume her status would be pending an adjudication of VAWA petition.. her status before that isn't relavent unless she's EWI.

Could be if she came on a K1.

Ha, VAWA and EWI left me in the dust. Doesn't a K1 have a 90 day limit? Well that's to get hitched, but not sure after that, thought you had a limited time to file all those other forms.

According to my friend she came over here on the K-1 visa. They married with a month of her arrival. Then my buddy said within 6 weeks everything started to go downhill with them. The American Husband became controlling and abusive to her. I think if it possible he should try and get the husband side of the story.

VAWA is Violence Against Women Act

EWI doesn't seem to be the Elder Watch Investigator nor Extremity War Injuries, but must something to do with filing an I-601. See a lot of EWI in this site, and has been my experience that people that use acronyms consistently don't even know what they stand for.

Seen court case on the internet when filing the I-601 under the VAWA, they want a bit more than "my spouse looked at me cross eyed", they want a court proven case of violence and also a hardship condition like "I will have to return to my mother's home and she doesn't have hot water."

Anyway, when I first met my wife, we mutually agreed to share our paper work, was no problem for her or for me because we both met plenty of jerks and we were sincerely interested in each other. May be wise for your friend to do the same. A relationship must start with complete trust in each other.

The crazy thing about all this as mature adults, both my wife and I went through our own means to prove to each other we are who we say we are and developed complete trust in each other before we got married. Only to have to prove this over and over again to the USCIS and mostly by kids that don't know the difference between their left and right hands.

Sounds like she found out she can not adjust through new boyfriend so decided to go VAWA.

EWI, Entered Without Inspection, wouldn't that also be an illegal immigrant, or excuse me, a none documented immigrant?

Also but not only. EWI includes "illegal entry" but it also includes Canadians entering without I-94s. They may or may not have spoken to a CBP officer and may or may not have passports but are "legal" as long as they don't stay too long. For instance, Canadians who enter without inspection, fall in love, marry and attempt to adjust status have to deal with EWI issues, even though there's nothing illegal in what they did.

"Inspection" doesn't necessarily mean the alien's entry was documented. Waving a Canadian across at a POE is considered inspection. Although anyone being waved across, who is wise, should ask that an I-94 be issued.

Perhaps undocumented inspection but without documentation, nobody can prove they were inspected. So, it sounds like a distinction without a practical difference. As many times as I've crossed the Canadian border, I'm certainly happy only a small percentage of US entrants took the time to deal with an I-94 but they certainly come in handy if you decide to stick around.

The alien that is waved through a land border crossing is considered as inspected and admitted to be in the USA for the legal limit on an I-94. The problem lies in how the alien could demonstrate that. For the informed traveler, it would require stopping the POE agent, and say "Hey, I am not a USC I need an I-94". Or, alternatively, leaving the USA and trying again, this time bringing to the CBP agent's attention that an I-94 is needed. :)

She said she filed the I-360 form VAWA before she met my friend and their concern if they marry will it affect her green card. I told my friend he should wait until all her government dealings are over with. Right now he has the cow living with him why should he go out and buy the milk.

Certainly that's true but just for the sake of discussion, why does the Canadian need an I-94, if they're just coming for a short visit or business trip. Even Canadians clearing POE in Ottawa or getting on a ferry in Victoria don't generally or routinely get an I-94 stapled to their passport. (Unless something has changed recently)

After my first and only failed marriage, feel it's a good idea to go together, live together, or whatever you want to call it, for at least two years before tying the knot. One strong indication of future problems is if this woman is pushing hard to get married right away to your friend. My wife had no problem in waiting a couple of years, she wanted to be sure just as much as I did, but turned out to be quite longer with delays in the USCIS that we didn't account for. Then that I-751 was a blow after all of their background checking, we already did our own background checking, and we are the ones that are really responsible for our actions, not them!

Other signs that you are really not meant for each other is that one or both of you are still looking not to mention that over willingness to jump into bed before you even know the name of that person.

Ha, I know what POE is, Port of Entry.
