Did you adjust status?

How long were you in the US?

How long have you been out of the US?

I had file papers for adjustment of status but it was in process.. I didn't get any reply till I left even SSN card was in process too!!

I was in US for about 5 months

I am out of US since 26 days

The years wasted I am talking about is actually courtship period which was 2 years.

Sorry, if you left the US before the AOS was approved and without having received AP (Advance Parole) then your AOS is considered abandoned. You have no legal status to return to the US.

I doubt you can file VAWA from outside the country.

You can file for VAWA from outside the country, as long as you can prove that the abuse occured inside the US.

Yep!

Zainab, I think I see what you're asking. You can file for VAWA and divorce at the same time. Normally, a VAWA case requires that you are still married to the abusive spouse. It only becomes complicated if your divorce is granted before you file your VAWA petition. In that event, the divorce would have to be within two years of the filing of the VAWA petition, and you would have to prove that the divorce was caused by the abuse, or that the abuse was directly related to the cause for the divorce.

As far as filing for divorce and VAWA "together" - If you mean sending both petitions to USCIS, then the answer is "no". USCIS does not grant divorces. This is up to the family courts in each state.

If you arrived on a K-1 and have only been in the USA a period of 5 months, and are now back in Pakistan, of what value is the VAWA petition? Why would you want to/ or consider returning to the USA ?
