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

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.

Niagara,

Maybe my case is different, I have an approved I-130 when I was with my ex-husband, and my attorney send a letter to USCIS saying that my priority date should be current since my I-130 is approved since 2006.

I'm sorry for what you're going through and your child, but don't give up. Contact the Catholic Legal Charities in your state and they will help you. Be strong for your child and you can make it through.

Thank you, Joanne28.

In a few days my FORTH Prima Facie will get expired. I have a filling that i will be on Fifth Prima Facie. 15 months already.

lostinNJ, do you know yet what was evidence for?

My case has been approved!!!!!!Im so happy now,finally i can begin a normal life...

But can i apply for a work autorization card while waiting for an intervew for a GC?

Thank you!

Hi Yulya! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance: Why are you going to request for employment authorization card? I don't know exactly what it's your case about or what you filed. For vawa cases once you have your approval and just waiting for the interview, you already know that GC will be in your mailbox few weeks later of your interview. Any person who holds a GC is authorized to work anywhere in USA. Then it's not necessary to file an EAD. Like i said, I don't know what kind of approval you got. I hope everything works out for you :)

Cityofangle, Thanks for advising. My case hasn't been approved, but my lawyer has told me exactly what yours said. It's very important that each of us understand the risk/issues/problems of leaving the country when you're under AOS, no matter if you overstay or not.

Have a blessed week...

Hi everyone,

I was told the same thing today, which really frustrates me. My grandfather and my grandmother died last year, now my other grandma who's 84 just got sick and it really scares me not to see her before I can go home. I was going to send an Advance Parole application when my attorney told me that I can get a 10yr bar if I do leave the US and go home to the Philppines. I am heartbroken and frustrated to have to go through all of these craziness with my ex-husband, and now that I thought I can finally live a normal life, I was completely shut down by this USCIS policies. I hope they see us through our journey and not just through out application forms. I hope they have a better way of knowing our pains and frustrations.

Good luck to all. May God bless us all and keep us safe.

********************************************************************

- A week after got a prima facie

Oct. 2008 - my attorney only filed for I-360 and I-765

Dec 2008 - Got an extension of Prima facie.

Why is it that the only one who can stop the crying is the one who started it in the first place?
