VAWA Part 2

[lorphelpme 9]

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.

Thanks but I really think its faster when you file separately because your i485 most probably will go through faster because vsc takes forever to transfer it out.just wat am observing.

When does one expect to get a notice of action?

I sent my applications and it said delievered like 2 weeks ago.. I triple checked the addresses.

I still haven't got it yet.

I thought all AOS pertaining to VAWA had to be sent to VSC ..

I have no idea but based on wat liveurlife said then I don't think so maybe Sandranj or anybody else that know if it must go there or not can let us know.am thinking if you file separate and get approved then you just send the approval notice with the i485 to whichever lockbox.,I only filed i360 and I would not want to send my i485 to vsc if I don't have to like liveurlife said its maybe for the fee waiver, I would rather pay for the i485 and get it faster than to ask for a fee waiver and wait 6 months and counting like people are experiencing here.

If anybody know please let us know if i485 for i360 must be sent to vsc or not. Thanks

Nope, all AOS pertaining to VAWA does not have to go to VSC.You can send ur AOS to Chicago lockbox so long as u have ur I-360 approval on hand to attach-that's ur eligibility criteria.The part to mark is #1 or #A(can't remember if its # or letters) on the I-485 form( also read the I-485 instructions-its there in black & white).I know people who have done this & my very good friend filed this way.I've called USCIS & i also asked my lawyer & d ans is YES u can file through Chicago Lockbox if u have ur I-360 approval notice cause you are asked to attach a copy.

Also, a lot of people in the previous thread b4 this one filed AOS thru Chicago lockbox.

If u already have ur I-360 approval notice on hand & u want faster AOS, go thru Chicago lockbox

If u like snail mail service, go thru VSC.

And thaz my verdit.

Lorphelpme,my friend filed I-360 alone & got approval after 18months so it all depends.Some say if u file all together, its quicker, some say I-360 alone is quicker.

To me it all depends on your luck,who first opened ur file,the amount of work coming into VSC & who is ready to get d work going.

Goodluck every1 & have faith & stay blessed.

Hopefully you will get an approval before then. Did you try contacting your congress person. Do you have an atyorney. I know how frustrating it is. Wat number prima facie are you on,

I have an approved i130 I'm seperated fom my spouse have documents of 2 times I went to the hospital for deep cuts and hit in the groin and eye and it caused corneal abrasion .. I have pictures of the cuts and eye. And emails where she is asking for money And telling me she controls me abd she owns me. I'm scared to go to the police because she said she can get me reported and make hell for me .. And she said she has the upper hand because she's a citizen n a girl. I'm currently in removal proceeding got out of immigration last month I've heard people wait months and months for a court date. Can I file vawa i360 while I wait for court date? Or should I just wait for cancellation of removal under vawa ? I know I have both options .. I've also gotten a DUI but I've volunteered and the shelter and library n going to continue .. Will that work in my favor?
