I don't know what to tell you....... my frist and only one prima facie letter it does not say that I could request an extension 15 days before expires. It only says my case will be adjudicate within 150 days (which it's at the end of sept).......What a loooooooooooong way to suffer thru this.........

Read this internal Memo, which stipulates that you are entitled to apply for a 60-day extension. USCIS has the discretion to deny it, if you have not complied with the requirements, of course. It is the attachment I have added to this post. Here, Prima_Facie_Extension_4.8.04_1_.pdf

Hi guys,

I sign up here months ago when I was completely lost with this VAWA processing. But I was able to contact Catholic Charities-Miamia nd they helped me out. I don't know how to do the timeline yet, but I'm pretty satisfied with USCIS on handling my case. Just a question: DOES ANYBODY HERE WENT FOR AN I-485 INTERVIEW, can you please tell me how it is.

Sept. 2004- Met my ex-husband

Oct. 2005- got married

June 2006- I-130 approved

July 2006- my Tourist visa expired

August 2006- nightmare, end up in the shelter

Oct. 2006- Hubby and I went through all kind of counselling and decided to get back together.

August 2007 - He got crazy again, drunk and drugged up.

Nov. 2007- Finally separate from him.

June 2008- Finally got my I-360 together, boy attorney's makes really good money!

June 2008- Got my Prima Facie

July 2008- Atty. applied for EAD without I-485- of course it was DENIED. He never refunded me my money.

Dec. 2008- Request for Prima facie extension

April 2009- Contacted Catholic Charities of Miami

Right away they filed my case (GOD bless them all)

May 2009- I-360 APPROVED!!!!

May 15, 2009- EAD Approved!!! Got my card in one week

June 2009 - got my SSN, Letter for Biometrics

Hi Joanne28 Congratulations for your approved case, I'll have a couple questions for you. You say:

Dec. 2008- you requested for Prima Facie extension

April 2009- Contacted Catholic Charities of Miami

Right away they filed my case (GOD bless them all) I didn't understand what did Catholic Charities did exactly for you? did they expedite your case or did they refiled it?

Right away they filed my case (GOD bless them all) I didn't understand what did Catholic Charities did exactly for you? did they expedite your case or did they refiled it?

My I-360 is already filed, but my previous attorney made a mistake of filing my EAD without the I-485 and it was denied (I was out of work since 2006!), the Catholic Charities explained the whole thing to me and they filed my I-485 and EAD as soon as I contacted them. I'm sure if you're just filing for I-360 they will be of big help. They have branches all over the States, so just google Catholic Charities Legal Services available at your state.

Goodluck.

Joanne

so Joanne28, when your lawyer has filed a request for Prima Facie extension in December 2008 did you get your second Prima Facie or instead of extension you've only gotten notice of approve for your I-360?

wow that good news ...so the vawa taks 1 year to approve

[N400-2011 24]

Good luck to all of you. Thank god that you are all out of your situations. Please feel free to PM me if you have questions - I may or may not be able to answer...I am certainly no expert but I went through the process. See my signature for more details.

so Joanne28, when your lawyer has filed a request for Prima Facie extension in December 2008 did you get your second Prima Facie or instead of extension you've only gotten notice of approve for your I-360?

I did get an extension until June 14th, '09. By May 25th '09 I got mi I-360 approval Notice.

Goodluck to all of us.

Joanne28, congratulation! Now you can move on with your life.

I don't believe processing time anymore. I wonder why one case approved in one year within processing time and another one taking more then 15 months. For the last days i feel like i can't handle it anymore. I want already hear yes or no. If they denied my case then i will need hired an attorney so i can take my child home with me. I don't think his father can do anything because he is in prison now and has charges with child sexual abuse. I hope i can take my child with me, this is my biggest consern.
