VAWA Part 2

[Sir Charge 1]

Anyone who has a pending VAWA can apply for EAD the same way if you had a I360.

And you can file the I485 all conjountly.

right but what if you first file vawa only, receive prima facie...now looking to file i485 & i765?

What should we name it ?

LOL excellent ideas!

MYJAY ... i am thinking about you hun, i know you filed in August 2010 and you still haven't gotten a reply , i think you should definitely do a follow up and see whats going on with your case. Your case should have been approved by now ... Keep the faith though, they have an approval for u. But plz contact them, it doesn't hurt to know whats going on.

when I called USCIS the lady told me (though she didn't sound too sure) and my lawyer also told me (though she also was not too sure).

Stillalive .. whats going on with your court case? did they reschedule your dates, due to your pending Vawa case? i have the same thing as you, I am suppose to go to court in August, hopefully my removal proceeding will be cancelled now that they say my case was approved. Your case will soon be approve , keep strong my friend. I feel you when u say you have no money. I cannot work too. My lawyer only filed the I360. so i know how rough it can be. I live off my relatives, and its been way too long. I have so much money n loans to repay .. I know it is HARD !!

In two days it will be a month since my VAWA was approved, and I haven't heard anything yet on the second transfer

I called USCIS today to inquire and they recommended that I can submit a letter in writing to the Missouri office to ask about the case status. What do you all think? Should I do that?

Congrats.You are actually allowed to submit your naturalization application to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within the 90-days before your third anniversary of your green card. Battered spouse con apply for U.S. citizenship using the three-year exception ok.

I saw a lot of lawyers still giving wrong informations regarding Naturalization for battered spouse. \ There is memo from USCIS that states: Aliens who obtained lawful permanent residence by reason of an approved waiver of the joint filing requirement under section 216©(4)© of the INA or who obtained lawful permanent residence by reason of an approved waiver of the joint filing requirement under section 216©(4)© of the INA are elegible for naturalization under section section 319(a)it means three years ground, NOT five.

well Im in removal proceeding since October 2011, tough thing to deal with, they schedule me every 6 months on their master calendar because of my pending vawa case... so there is 2 options if my Vawa is approved I will file a Motion to terminate removal proceeding and if my case got denied the judge will grant me a final deportation and I will force to leave USA within 30 days. but we are not yet there...

by the way LOVEME you are not yet done with your removal proceeding after your approval, your lawyer will file a Motion to Terminate R.P before Immigration Judge. keep in mind IJ still have jurisdiction over your case and you got to deal with him/her first before file for your Green Card without that your I485 will be pending forever...

tell me

there is anytouch or update on your I360vawa?
