Even Im not in outside US Im living Minnesota and move to Cali.. ?

somebody says I'm on protective status cause I have pending a Vawa case.. confusing

If you received a letter from the USCIS that you are put in deferred action, then yes you are in protected status. To take a plane you still have to go through all the security check points. It probably depends on who is checking your passport and if they check expiration dates on your i-94.

You would probably have to go to court and pay a lot of money. So i suggest see if there is a possibility of taking a car with a friend or maybe some other option. Or try your luck and see what happens. None of us can say for sure what happens, because security checks and immigration officers at airports can be nice or not. But in the end it depends an you. There is a website Avvo.com were you can ask lawyers questions for free, maybe give that a try and ask them what might happen.

Good luck

Updated filing address information.

The beneficiary of an approved Form I-360 based on the eligibility category "Battered Spouse/Children" and you are filing for adjustment of status.

If you are filing as a battered or abused spouse or child and you are filing Form I-485 (Part 2, Box "h" on the form), file it and any associated forms with the USCIS Vermont Service Center.

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 <img src="http://www.visajourney.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> 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! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/kicking.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="kicking.gif" />

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 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laughing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="laughing.gif" />

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

Dear MSlady,

CONGRAGULATION for your GREEN CARD APPROVAL. I am happy and glad to know about your success.

I wish you a WONDERFUL AND PEACEFUL LIFE. TAKE CARE.

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

Dear 3bvsla,

Don't worry. You're almost there just a few more steps to go. From now onwards the steps are going to be easy and less time to process.

I filed my 1-360 In Oct-09, I have received my First Prima Facie that is expiring on april -10. Do i need to request for an extension or they will send it automatically. I recieved a e-mail from VSC that they have sent a RFE , I am waiting on that. I had sent all the docs when i filed my application. why this centre has to delay ..

Hi Ashley,

I work for an airline, the answer to your question is yes you can travel within the US by plane regardless of your status. You just need to present your unexpired Government issued ID and that's all there is to it. Do not worry about security checks or immigration. There is no immigration involved on Domestic flights (flights within the US and US territories). You just need to present your ID and boarding card to TSA check point (security)so that they can verify that you are the actual person travelling. Other than that there is no need to worry about getting held up by immigration. Good Luck.

P.S I travelled many times on domestic flights when I was out of status, I never once had a problem. Just do not get on an international, that's when you will have problems re-entering the US.

Hi,

Was just wondering. Why you filed your AOS to VSC? I filed mine to Chicago Lockbox. What difference does it make?

USCIS updated filing information. Since now on, if your I-360 is based on VAWA, then it must be filed with VSC.

Thats what it says in instructions to I-485.

[Manu 1]

No it does not make difference, I filed it cocurrently with 1-360
