I just got the same response from VSC, my lawyer sent them an email because of my upcoming ICE meeting.

They said they have requested for My forth prima facie and my case is till pending because they are working on applications

from 5/7/2011. This is just Crazy.!

Vsc is confusing their own selves cause some people lawyers here got emails back saying they are doing cases in June while others get responses saying may. So who knows

Macbook they will expedite your case just if the delay in adjudicating your case will contribute to aggravate your health, otherwise they won't expedite.Good luck.

Sandranj I think he said he s also in removal

How will she know If they expedite her case is it only by sending a letter to her lawyer or she can find out also by checking uscis website and wat are the chances of her case getting expedite she is in removal and has calendar hearing at the end of month. She did send them a copy of that too. Thanks much.

hi sandra ,

please can you answear my question please. i apply in feb 2012 they sent me on rfe. now i have adiitional document to support my case should i sent them to vermont now or i should wait for the to request it?

Prima facie does have a duration of 6 mnths most people that have gotten them like myself have gotten the first two are for six months and there after for 2/3 months. Was the RFE for the documents you have now if yes you need to send it ASAP. If not then why did you send the package without all the evidence. Sandranj will tell you wat to do, good luck

Maryhoney87 they sent you the RFE then just wait a few days to make they are asking for that, you need to provide the Police certificate from NJ,CT and from your home Country as well, if you lived more than 6 months in different places in your home Country then you need to provide police certificates from each place you lived in the past three years ok.

No comments about your lawyer,lol

GabrielVawa I didn't understand your question very well. I know you got an RFE, did you answer that RFE? IF "YES" and you have additional documents then send to VAWA UNIT the additional documents. If you are answering for the FIRST time that RFE then submit the original RFE along with the documents. Keep a copy in your file tho.

Don't forget to write outside the envelope using red pen (right side) with BIG letters "VAWA UNIT". If you have a lawyer representing you then your lawyer must send the documents not you.

Send all the documents you have even if they haven't yet sent the RFE. Just make sure that you indicate all your information on the letter your A# and other identifying information. Don't send originals!!!..Only send copies.

Hi Everyone,

Oh gosh today 09/10 I got a text on my phone with change of status. They are asking for RFE for my vawa. I applied for my vawa on 05/25/2011 and just today I received a change. I am very nervous. I did not send the police certificate clearance...I am hoping this is ALL they are asking. Can someone tell me the possibilities? I sent letters of people, psychological letters from doctors and

I sent letters of people, psychological letters, restraining order. what could it be????

Also how long will it take for a decision after a RFE?

Thanks you all!!!

Respond to the RFE as soon as possible, it will take some time but eventually they will adjudicate your case.

Gabrielvawa your lawyer is wrong, you should not wait for any RFE . USCIS can just adjudicate your case based in the documents you submitted before, and they can approve or deny your Vawa. If you have additional documents send to USCIS asap and specified outside the envelop TO:VAWA UNIT.

Send IRS transcript instead just copy of tax return.You can call IRS and they will fax over in 30minutes, do not ask to mail you it will take 4 to 6 weeks.Make sure in your friend's affidavit they put their full name, date of birth,place of birth, present address and phone number.They should mention where, when and how they met you,they should describe what they know about your relationship and the violence you suffered, always specifying dates and places. NOTARIZED AFFIDAVITS ok.

GabrielVawa if your psychologist wrote her evaluation using codes such as CPT or AXIS...then google about the codes and print it out to send along with the psychologist letter, because the adjudicator must understand what she wrote. Sometimes psychologist write down letters specifying

Axis I : 309.81 Posttraumautic stress disorder

309.28 Adjustment disorder with mixed Anxiety and Depressed Mood

Axis IV: Severe problems with primary support Group

Axis V: 58

There is no way the adjudicator can understand the codes, then you have to explain.Google and then write to USCIS.Send a brief explanation to USCIS

"I extracted from the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders) a brief explanation about my diagnose and the meaning of the codes".

Did you send documents showing a bonafide marriage? such as joint tax return, joint bank statement,utilities bills in name of both, lease agreement etc...

Maryhoney87 You need your police clearance from Brazil.I think you can get online using the POLICIA FEDERAL web site. If you are living in the USA more than 3 years then you don't have to submit police clearance from Brazil, but you must submit from each place in USA that you lived more than six months.

Well you should send for your Vawa case the have police report, restraining order if you have one, affidavits from friends stating about your relationship was genuine and if someone knows about the violence ask them to write an affidavit as well, if you have hospital report,pictures of the violence, if you stayed in any shelter send letters from the shelter, if you are seeing a psychologist send a psychologist letter as well, proof showing a bonafide marriage such as joint tax return,utilities bills in name of both,bank statement, lease agreement etc...
