help with vawa petition

[diadromous mermaid 36]

Well, according to the doctor that they sent me to make a detail report of the psychological damages that my husband has caused me...

VAWA was not created to allow people with hurt feelings to immigrate if they can't make their marriage work. it was created to allow people who had actually been "abused" to escape abusive marriage without inconvenience. if you had to be sent to a psychologist to explore your psyche to discover whether you had been abused, you weren't. on another note, if you were foolish enough to marry a bi-polar you already knew that you were walking into an unstable relationship, yet chose to do so anyway. surely you made the choice for some reason.

This is a totally incorrect perception. How can you suggest such a thing? Many victims of abuse are systematically beaten down psychologically by the abuser such that they begin to justify the heinous acts of the abuser and can even begin to take responsibility for the abuse. It is also not uncommon that some forms of abuse are so awful that the victim can bury the memories so deeply (involuntarily) that it might take years to uncover.

By the way, many individuals that have been diagnosed as bi-polar live relatively normal lives when taking the appropriate medications. So, you'd banish them to spinsterhood and bachelorhood, eh?

Jusashooter, please do not make judgments on that which is very clearly unfamiliar to you.

third parties without personal interest give the most credible letters of character.

if you have a job, your employer and immediate supervisors can attest to your good performance and attendance. if you go to a church, your pastor can attest to your involvement in the church. if you volunteer at the library or some other place you can get a letter to that effect. if you participate in any social organisation that's a good source. if you have a counselor that you have talked to, they are a good source. your landlord is also a possibility. neighbors can be a source. if you have a police officer or attourney you have been involved with who is willing to write a letter to demonstrate clean criminal history and good character, that's really good. bank statements showing good financial habits, rental agreements, etc, if they are from the period after separation.

letters from family don't get much traction, and letters from friends aren't worth much more.

Hey dude, back off. Why do you get off on harassing the OP? ####### - reported for insulting a VJ member. Oh, and read the TOS before keeping on boasting about your being an attorney. Pay for your own website and GTFO.

Hi All,

I am married to an American citizen and here in America on a K3 visa. After a year long abuse and some stays at shelters, I finally filed for a protective order, and then for my petiton under VAWA. I recently got my work permit, and prima facie for the Vawa case has been determined. What happens when the prima facie for the case I-360 has been determined?

It is a second marriage for both me and my husband. My husband had become friends with my ex, and now obtaining false accusations from him and defaming me. Can he jeoparadize my VAWA case by submitting these accusations from my ex husband?

Please help.

"What happens when the prima facie for the case I-360 has been determined?"

Nothing. Prima Facie is just another processing process of pending petition I-360 (VAWA case). It means nothing. Nada. It doesn't mean your case be denied nor it means your case be approved. It merely means your case is accepted for review. That's all. However, this Prima Facie letter does allow the applicants to obtain state and federal help until case is decided. So, don't ever think that your case be 100% approved just because you have received this Prima Facie letter nor be on mistaken if any attorney tells you otherwise. This letter means nothing except that you may try to get state or federal help if needed.

"Can he jeoparadize my VAWA case by submitting these accusations from my ex husband?"

By law, USCIS cannot tell anyone nor share any information about VAWA case to anyone except with the applicant and law enforcement agencies. Thus, rest assured nobody is going to find out as to whether or not you have EVER filed I-360 (VAWA case). However, not disclosing a VAWA case is one thing and taking credible information on fraud is another thing. What it means is- USCIS cannot and will not disclose to anyone that you have ever filed any VAWA case but that doesn't mean that will not take any credible information/accusations of fraud from someone to deny and prosecute you.

Now, whether or not your ex can jeopardize your VAWA case/immigration case then it would depend on what kind of accusations and information he is submitting to immigration. If he is just making accusations only without any evidences then USCIS will just throw his accusations in the garbage because they don't have time to deal with this type of accusations because they receive this type of things in every marriage based case when marriage falls apart while still immigration process going on. They know that when marriage falls apart, one party will try to stop others from getting immigration status or will try to sabotage others one way or another...no matter what...as emotions run so high and people are up to revenge. I've been on many immigration sites for many years and I've noticed people contacting USCIS with all kind of allegations/accusations you name it...some even produce very solid evidence of fraud committed by alien-spouse, yet still USCIS has had done nothing against those alien-spouse.

Having said that, whether or not your ex's accusations are true, don't worry USCIS won't do anything to you because USCIS is a very incompetent agency of US govt. They let people commit fraud. Not even one case reported in the history of USCIS wherein they have ever prosecuted US citizen for immigration fraud even though many US citizens were found committing immigration fraud for money as they get married with aliens for money in exchange of green card. Thus, USCIS will not do anything to you nor will jeopardize your VAWA case even if your ex's accusations were to be true against you. I'm not saying that you did commit fraud or your ex's accusations are true; instead all I'm saying is that USCIS has NEVER done anything against anyone even if solid and convicing evidences are presented to prove the accusations. So rest assured and sit back and relax.

As for whether or not your VAWA case be approved or not then USCIS approve every VAWA case anyway. Very rarely they deny it to very few people here and there...and that also on techincal merits. With proofs or without proofs, you will get approved. Believe me, everyone gets approved. Trust me. I was a specialist on VAWA cases until 2 years and seen not even one case be denied even if many people have had nothing to prove abuses. All applicants is need-shouting abuse and some stories of how their spouses abused them. That's all. You will be surprised to know that every single man who files this petiton they get approved too even if their US citizen wife was half of their size and nothing happened. I even came across to cases wherein men and women completely fabricated documents of abuses to get a green card thru VAWA law. So, I can assured you that you will get approved in the end. I guarantee you.

That is an excellently written response. I am impressed 3 stars for you :star:

I believe you would need more than a statement. Do you by any chance have police reports? Affidavits from folks? Proving a VAWA case is tough - I wish you luck
