VAWA

[deeplyhurted 0]

In order to apply for EAD one must have a pending AOS. Also you can apply both of them together. Hope this helps.

And who is already divorced to thier spouse while thier case is pending??

pls any help appreciated thank you all guys .

Just don't get caught in Immigration Check Points. There are several of them in California. Driving is the best way to move around the states. You have a great chance to get busted if you take a bus, not that big of a chance if you take a plane.

Cops don't check Immigration status in LA, SF and San Diego when you get pulled over. Only when you go to the jail.

Don't be scared. When you take a plane, all what they look at is your driving license and your ticket. Howerver, if all that you have is Passport with expired Visa thats might be a problem. I, personally, wouldn't show my passport with expired visa to any authorities under any circumstances.

Hi guys!

My EAD is going to expire in July of this year... I have an approved VAWA and my interview is on March 30th. The ppl from Catholic Charities are insisting that I renew my EAD now and that I have to pay for it full (U$ 340.00). I think it's not right, since I already got approved on my I-360 and hopefully will have a green card after my interview...

I told them I make 8 dollars an hour and only work 20 hours a week and can barely afford my monthly bills, let alone fees for immigration. I sent them all receipts of everything and after a lot of drama, they said they'd try for a waiver, but that would be almost impossible for me to get...

I don't understand, do I really need to renew my EAD so soon? If I have an approved VAWA (got a fee waiver when I filed) do I need to do it? Once I have a GC, do I need a EAD?

I appreciate any answers, ya'll know how hard it is being alone and abused in this country... I can't afford anything right now..

Hey guys my lawyer tells me that I can't apply for EAD while I'm waiting for VAWA approval and at the same time I see some of you did manage to apply for EAD while waiting - what's going on is my lawyer wrong ?

your lawyer not know about vawa ,just want the money and in the end of process he will let you in the montain by ur self , any one filed i-360 petition not eligible for EAD until a decision is mad on the case after i-360 get aproved .if you want EAD you should file i-485 and i-765 concurently the time you file i-360 or in the pendency of the petition .i save my case in the appeal ,and my attorney told me no WAY .GOOD LUCK

I already have an EAD. I have to RENEW it. bensherif I've sold clothes and shoes that I wore. I had to beg for food, humiliate myself. I know what you mean, trust me. I am so sorry for your situation and I hope everything works out for you, and SOON! I DON'T HAVE MONEY, I don't have anything more to sell. I cannot raise that money, at all. I have no family here and the few friends I have cannot afford to help me like that.

I have an EAD that expires in July... I have an approved I-360 and my interview for my AOS (I485) is March 30th. The Catholic Charities are free, I don't pay anything to them, so they do not want my money...

What I wanna know is if I have an approved interview for the I-485, should I renew my EAD? What happens to my EAD once I have a green card?

you right and i do understand what hapened to you hapened to me ,the friends most time tired of help .i just see is better way to protect your status remember .try to find new job not the 20 hours a week will cover the expense .i wish your situation become better soon ,just relax home after work and think and rethink good how to star over your new life ,its easy to win its easy to lose ,but just think positive and work hard you gona be fine and away from bad guys ,340 is not so much but its hard sometimes .you need to file i-765 EAD and colect some bills receipt and aply by your self to vermont sevice center ask them for fee waiver but that is not good for your future status or citizenship .

about your question ; if aproved interview for i-485 you should have stamp on your passport .with that you can work .that mean you are green card holder but waiting for phisical card . your EAD not needed after green card . you should now just relax and remember what you have been trough ,

what i know is that uscis said if your visa expired is not mean your status is finish uscis always ask just for your EAD even expired because the status is very important .you have i-360 pending you are in protected status .mean no one will come to your house or stop you or anything because you file a new application to folow your valid status in defered action even not approved yet .dont wory you can move freely because you are not in removal proceding if so they will send you a letter to apear in court .inside US you can travel by driver license only you dont need passport inside .but the lisence shoud be valid or go to DMV ask for ID to travel with .good luck dont worry i travel everywhere and no one stop me if so i have 4 petition pending decision . i-485 /i-360 /i-765- and 290 b .pending 4 years when you file new petition befor your visa expired you are just fine .when the i-360 approved the overstay is forgiven that what i read somewhere .

Hi speedbaby

Forget about renewal and paying that fee.

Since u have an inerview in March, and yr EAD exprires in JULY u do not have anything to worry about. USCIS will not even look at your renewal application coz u have an interview scheduled already. Do not worry about it, better concentrate on your interview, u will get the green card soon. Good luck!))))

PS if u have a green card u do NOT need any EAD, green card is the right to live and work in US:))))))
