VAWA

[EWTN2009 0]

Hi 3bvsla,

I think the best answer for your question should be come from those who got approved their case already. Mine is still pending, got 1 prima facie as of today and no RFE so far. But if it helps I'll throw out what I sent:

Photos of engagement date, pics of our dates with friends and family members before we got married, letters and greeting cards from family and friends on our weeding day; letters, emails, greeting cards from him, pics of our weeding day, bank statement of our joint account. Copy of car/medical insurance / utilities / bills / receipts under both names and address, letter from our biblical marriage counselor, pics of our honeymoon.

That's what my lawyer sent. I don't know if it's enough for them, like I said my case has not been approved nor requested for additional evidence yet. I really hope that someone gives you a hand with it and you send what immigration wants to see/receive.

What did you guys send to prove that marriage was in a good faith??

They found my prooves insufficient AGAIN. I have til November 12 to reply with solid evidences.

SUGGESTION : If prima facie letter you have on hand says that you should request another one 15 days before expires, go ahead and request one. That's my opinion. I have read some postings here from people that sent out request for extension of prima facie and few weeks later got their approval (not because you send the request, because they keep tracking on your case).

Hi 3bvsla,

For proof of a good faith marriage I sent utility bills, car insurance, life insurance, bank statements, credit card statements, statements from friends and family, tenancy agreement and wedding notices.

Ghanamade or anyone, do we pay the fee for the I-864W?

Self-petitioners who qualify as immediate relatives of U.S. citizens (spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21) do not have to wait for an immigrant visa number to become available. you can send your AOS to Chicago

I-485

G-325A

I-864W Intending Immigrant's Affidavit of Support Exemption

I-765 ------> option C(9)

Medical Exam --->you need to pay to have this done

you need to send all together with a check $930 plus a biometrics fee of $80; the fee total is $1,010

Best wishes for you!!

Hey you guys, I've filed VAWA first of January 09 based on mental/emotional extreme cruelty and right after filing I've got my Prima Facie and it was expired July 12, 09. So my lawyer has written a letter to USCIS just to check the status on my existing I-360. Right after mail she sent out they've requested for additional evidences (RFE). So far everything seems okay but when I've got the mail I've seen that their asking the same documents that we've already submitted when we first filed. Such as reports and affidavits from family/friends and psychiatrist.

So now I'm wondering if they've lost my file or they haven't even reviewed my file at all. My lawyer says we have to get a couple more affidavits from my friends and new declaration from me and maybe a new report from my psychiatrist (I don't know what else she can say in your new report top of what she've already said). My lawyer wanna charge me $400 for this work top of what I've already paid $2000 to her. So I'm waiting for your comments what's going on here ???

[Yahya54 4]

USCIS Update: USCIS Issues Guidance for Surviving Spouses of U.S. Citizens

Deferred Action Authorized for Certain Spouses and Children

USCIS Provides Interim Deferred Action Relief For Surviving Spouses

Relief for Spouses of Deceased U.S. Citizens Married Less Than Two Years

WASHINGTON - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today issued guidance on requesting deferred action for surviving spouses of U.S. citizens who died before the second anniversary of their marriage. Surviving spouses qualify for this temporary program if they were married to, but not legally separated from, their U.S. citizen spouse at the time of that spouse's death; did not remarry; and are currently residing in the United States.

Surviving spouses qualify for deferred action regardless of whether the U.S. citizen spouse filed a Form I-130 petition for them. Surviving spouses may ask to have their qualifying children included in their deferred action request. To be considered a "qualifying child" of a surviving spouse, the child must be younger than age 21 or otherwise qualify as a child when the deferred action request is submitted; currently reside in the United States; and be unmarried.

USCIS has revised the instructions to the Forms I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant, I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and I-131, Application for Travel Document, as they relate to this temporary new program.

Surviving spouses who apply for deferred action will need to file Form I-360 with supporting documentation and the $375 filing fee with the Vermont Service Center.

Work authorization will be available to surviving spouses and qualifying children who are granted deferred action and who can establish economic necessity. Form I-765 is used for this purpose (separate applications are required for each person seeking work authorization).

Travel authorization will also be available to surviving spouses and qualified children granted deferred action under this program.

USCIS has posted on the Web, an accompanying list of questions and answers and a fact sheet about this program. For additional information about this and other immigration services, please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283, or visit our homepage.
