https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/caseStatusSearchDisplay.do click this and enter ur receipt number

Dear Ghana,

Thankyou for your prompt reply, I have tried that too, but I still get the same message

Validation Error(s)

You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:

Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283.

To view the status of a case, please enter the corresponding application receipt number. The 13-character application receipt number can be found on application notices you have received from the USCIS. It begins with three letters such as (EAC, WAC, LIN, or SRC). Dashes ("-") should be omitted when entering a receipt number. However, all other characters, including asterisks ("*"), can be included if listed on your notice as part of the receipt number.

When I use my EAD receipt number, I get the current and right status. But for some reasons the EAC number for my VAWA petititon gives me the above message. The sad part is that if you call the above number they are not ready to help you because everything about vawa cases is kept confidential, whom should i get in touch with to rectify this error..

Please advice

im sorry i cant help, i have no idea.... did u try creating a profile?

I don't know when they touched my case until EWTN mentioned in one of the previous post about touched the file , I don't know about catholic church and also about public benefit too. All I came to know about this VAWA forum and it all very helpful in one way or other and thank all of you who shared the information in this wonderful forum.

Dear Honest,

I can still not check my status online. How many months after filing could you search for your status online. I am just not able to despite of having the EAC number and the prima facie. Is my file in process by any chance, what is really happening, I am really getting stressed about the whole issue.

Please reply

Dear Gina,

Don't worry call them and ask them one more time saying that I am very much worried and wish to know about my status. could you please update my case in the website.

I also suggest you to take a print out, write a letter about your present situation and also explain this problem that you're not able to see the status on the website.

I am not sure but the validation error looks like there might be a space or special character in between. If don't mind please check whether you're tping as follows for example.

EAC0123456789

EAC and then continously 10 digit number and there is no space at the end.

Try it and if still not working please call them and also write the letter about the issue.

Wish you GOOD LUCK.

I called the above number the other day, but they told me that my case has not been updated online. I filed my Vawa petition in May'09. I have the prima facie with the EAC number.

What should I do, Please help me....

Dear Gina,

Where you read that the I-360 Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant All other special immigrants- 5 Months

I read that somewhere which is couple of years old web page but I am not sure.

I also heard that the VAWA processing going to be less as per the organization and it looks like its happening. my case and bethbeth is a good example for this and also as I mentioned in other social service organization they are seeing more approvals with less time. I don't know how much TRUE but I wish you all the best.

Thank you very much Gina. I will share what I did for my paper work and I need some time to work on it. So many other issues going on in my life and I am doing research on the google to get answers. I have to apply for EAD, AOS and also advance parole and want to travel India as I lost 2 member in my life and spend some time with rest of my family. I need to get EAD, some job and save money to travel, etc. I will definitely give the details in couple of days. I going through so much pain and sufferings where my approval really gave me a bit relax and confident that I am going to Independent in USA.

I don't in VAWA we can travel outside USA with advance parole. I have to check with my counselor more. If anyone knows please let me know.

I heared that until we get PR we should travel and I don't know how much its true. still looking is there any rules for VAWA as such.

Dear Forum Members :

It amazed me in a such a great way to know that more cases got approved lately.

I have some comments that I would like to share with you:

gina 12 : If you want to request status of your case, I would recommend you to do it in a written communication and attach copy of your lastest granted prima facie letter. I learned when you call to the National Customer Service (1-800-...) regarding to VAWA cases, they always sent you a letter few weeks later stating that: "They can not deny or confirm existence of your case.....blah blah blah......."

I'm telling for my personal experience. The first time I called them and received that letter I was in shock and worried, later on I found out that Immigration officers do not replay your inquiry over the phone, because confidentially of VAWA cases and also for your safety. They ONLY replay your request if you (or your legal representative) send them an inquiry of your case WITH COPY OF PRIMA FACIE LETTER AND ALSO COPY OF YOUR G-28 FORM (if any. This form is the copy of your signed agreement/ contract between your lawyer and you to be represented by him/her for immigration matters). Don't loose your time calling them, save time and go for an INFOPASS appointment OR send them a simple request letter of status of your case, using a CERTIFICATED MAIL.

Honest : Please get very good advices before you leave. I have heard once you file for AOS you can not leave this country until it gets approved, but if you have an approved I-360 and your current visa and passport are not expired you could request an advance of parole to travel and be able to come back. Otherwise, you can not re-entry into USA even with an approved I-360. Once again, please make sure that you won't have any problem re-entering into this country. I'm very sorry for all the pain you're going through and I admire you for keeping your faith and hope up. Sorry for your lost. I pray God gives you the strenght you need your family as well.

mona_lisa : Thanks for concerning about me. I haven't had luck. I contacted the congressman's office couple weeks ago and they got back to me saying that they don't handled this kind of cases and suggest me to hire a lawyer. Can you believe it?. So now, I'm searching for some catholic charities in my community to see if they can help me out. I will contact them and hopefully I will find out about my case. I will keep you posted and thanks for you suggestions.

I hope my comments would be helpful in any way...

God bless you all.... Please keep praying for each of us. I really need your prayers. I appreciate them a lot !!!!!!!!!!.

Dear EWTN,

Thank you very much for your advice and I really appreciate it.

So I should have some Non Immigrant visa in order to travel outside other than my approved I-360. Am I understood right?

whenever I apply for EAD, I am thinking of applying my Advance Parole if I have enough money. I check in the USCIS website that I have to pay for both EAD and Advance Parole. what are the docs needed for EAD.

1) letter for economy neccesity

2) Filing fee $340 along with the I -765 completed form

3) I -94 card (front & back)

4) Passport showing our picture, name and date of birth

5) Any foriegn visa stamped on the passport if possible

6) State ID and/or Drivers License

7) 2 identical color photos with name and alien # on the back of the photos

Since I married to a PR, for my country I have to wait for couple of years (may be 6-7 years for the availability of visa number I believe) to get my Green Card and I am thinking of applying AOS after I visit my family back home in India after seeing your message. I am pretty much confused. Waiting for my approval letter.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Honest!, I'm sorry it's so frustrating I truly understand how you feel without having an accurate info. I wish I could give you the right answer to your questions. I'm not familiar with Advance Parole. But I do remember that we have talked about advance parole before in this forum, I'm just trying to find the page number here for your reference but no luck so far. Please try to check previuos postings, maybe you could find it.

I'm currently in removal proceedings, if I leave now I will be bar from entering the United States for 10 years, even if I have an approved I-360 after I leave, I cannot return. That's for sure, that's why I'm concerned about you get the correct advice before you leave. In the other hand, few weeks ago, I received a msg from one of the forum's user with the following website. Maybe it will help you out with your questions.

www.asistahelp.org

I know how hard it can be, but PLEASE don't leave the country until you're 100% you can re-entry (if this is your wish).
