Welcome saadat. Yes you can renew your prima facie. Do you have a lawyer?

You can also contact them in regards to your case status. And you can receive financial aid and scholarship with your prima facie for your education. Goodluck!

Thank you so much for your response it gave me so much more faith. No I don't have a lawyer everywhere I looked in to is very expensive, I filled out all my paperworks myself. Do I need a lawyer or you think I can make it without one?

Hi welcome to the forum we are here to help each other as much as possible. You don't need a lawyer are you in removal if so then i would recommend you having on. As for the prima facie yes you can renew it.send a letter to vawa unit make sure in the letter you put prima facie extension,your receipt number and send a copy of the expired pr ima facie and also put attn.. vawa unit on the letter and on the envelop. The address to mail it to is at the bottom of the prima facie.

Good luck hope this helps

I'm an international student.

Does prima facie would change my tuition rate?

I meant if I bring it to dean of admission, would I eligible for a resident tuition rate?

I can't afford school as my ex-wife drained my money while we were together. I really need help!

I don't think the rate will change because you are still having the F-1 visa. As you are a "qualified alien" you can get some sort of financial aid. But don't think they will change your tuition.

Hi Sandranj or anybody who knows, do you get an interview date faster when you file i360 cocurrently or when you file i360 and then file i485 after approval of i360.

Thanks

Hey Lorphelpme,I don't think it matters whether u file I-360 first or file all forms concurrently...VSC does not have enough staff to tackle all applications, they are very slow.My friend filed I-360 first & upon approval she filed I-485 through Chicago lockbox(her attorney advised her to do so) & had her interview & green card within 2 months of filing...she paid for the I-485 though.I think most people file all forms thru VSC because they are applying for fee waivers as well as EAD...VSC is slow with approvals of I-360 alone not to talk of transferring files to NBC for AOS interviews at local offices.4 now it just depends on your luck & VSC.If you already have I-360 approval, u are better off filing thru Chicago lockbox for the AOS part but for those of us that filed all forms thru VSC, we have to wait till VSC adjudicators do something.

I don't know what state u r in but in TX, even though i came on F-I visa & attended school after 12months of living in TX, i paid in state tuition.After i got married,i also applied for financial aid which was also granted & subtracted out of my in state tuition-i paid the difference.After the abuse, i was asked if i was a "victim of domestic violence" after i transferred to another school, i said yes & presented the prima facie & i continued to get financial aid.During the time i didn't have prima facie, i was lucky enough to be on one form or scholarship or another...i just kept my GPA perfect.Most schools have offices to attend to immigrants as well as domestic violence victims.Just check with your school counselling unit, if you don't ask, you won't know.From what i understand, financial aid should be granted to domestic violence victims but u must have an approved I-360 or a prima facie but i also heard most victims are too afraid to apply.
