Hello All,

I don't know where to start and what to write. I have tears in my eyes and my whole body is shivering. I got my VAWA approved after 3 months and 10 days. Its really a big big surprise for me. Today God has blessed me after a long and painful journey. I never imagined when I entered in this country that one day I would have to suffer so much and that too beacuse of the person whom I loved so much. I never thought that he would do this to me. He has abused and humilated me so much and left me homeless without any support. I did not ate so many days, cried so much with so many sleepless nights. I left my job, my family, my carrier everything for that person and he has done this to me. But today God has blessed me and I can think about my life ahead. I thank you all very much for all your support. This forum is like a family which shares their feeling with each other. It has supported me a lot. I am looking forward for the next step.

Thank you all again so much and Good Luck for those waiting for their approavl. I will pray for you all.

Thanks

I'm so happy for you. It is indeed a long wait. 11 months and counting for me. Did you receive an RFE? How much evidence did you present.

Congrats deeplyhurted, good things happen to good people... like the saying "every dog has its day" and today is your day. I think you've now broken the record on the shortest approval. Good luck on your next step. :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle:

I went for my interview yesterday. Went with my lawyer.

The spanish lady was very nice and did not ask any interview questions. Only my name, DOB, when i came into the country and how i came. Then she proceeded to ask me the 20 legal questionnaire (the one in a paper), all which i said no. She asked my attorney if there was anything she would like to give, attorney gave her my job letter and pay stubs. She asked what typed of company it was and joked abit and since i worked in NY-she said "oh you work in NYC, see you around". She asked for my employment authorization back and said i wouldn't be needing it anymore. She brought out the stamp and said "i am going to approve your application". I had a big grin on my face which she saw clearly :D and she smiled back. She stamped my passport and waited for it to dry up...she continued to chat with my attorney about if we waited long or not. She wished me the best and said, "now you can move on" i responded...with a big sigh "YES!! MA'AM, THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU" And she led us out.

Yesterday was a very special day to me. Luckily, my church had a bible study event last night, so I went to church in the evening to give a donation and to thank God for his mercies during this past 2 years. It's been a long hard heart-broken time but i pulled through! :dance:

I will be visiting my country soon this summer. I called my whole family and my mom is so happy and everyone is so happy for me. I got so many phone calls...from people i have long forgotten i told. Everyone has been congratulating me - yesterday feels like my birthday, today feels even more like it :lol:

NOW MY MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS: When am i eligible to apply for citizenship?

stil waiting since march 2006 .

Too long! Please call them and keep calling until you get an answer:

HOW TO CALL USCIS TO CHECK CASE STATUS

1-800-375-5283 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 6 - 1 - (receipt # (672)MSC-0000-000-0000) - 1 - 1 - 3 - 3 - 1 [please listen as the menu has changed]

A friend of mine called last week after she has been waiting for her fiance's I-29F approval, they approved their case immediately after she got off the phone from them. I thought it was weird cos they had been waiting for 4 months and they approved it after her phone call.

Hello Mslady,

Congrats on your approved I-485, you are now free to travel in and out of the US as you please. You can file for citizenship in 2 years and 9 months from the day you became a permanent resident. I wish you the best in your future endeavours. I will be going to my home country on the 21st March. I'm excited, I haven't been there in over 10 years.
