VAWA Part 2

[loveme 4]

For some reason the wait just seems harder since I've been waiting for my interview. I guess its just everything and it is very overwhelming. I am still searching for employment and i thought since i got the EAD things would have been better. I just hope to go home this Christmas and relax relax relax !!!

All i can tell everyone waiting is to keep strong, but i guess i need to start taking my own advice too LOL

26 MONTHS AND COUNTING!!!

26 MONTHS AND COUNTING!!!

I give up

Hypnos where did you get this information? in your case as self petitioning widower you have to send it to Chicago Lockbox (If you are sending form I-360 with form I-485) or to USCIS Dallas or Phoenix Lockbox facility( if you are submitting form I-360 alone), based on where you live.

Myjay, it is time to call VSC to ask about your case. It is taking exceptionally long. Based on the link that someone posted previously,it seems your case is stuck at background check. Gosh, and to think 18months was eternity? Don't give up dear. It seems easy to say but I think I might just give up myself. Our lives have been placed on hold forever. God help us all.

26 MONTHS AND COUNTING!!!

I give up

Read the link below Myjay. Stay strong.

Myjay are you waiting 26 months??????????????????? were you detained and you are on probation now? otherwise it doesn't make sense the delay at all!!!!!!no way...no how.

Vawa Unit CANNOT adjudicate cases if the individual is on probation, they have to wait until the probation is over, then if it's not your case you should contact your congress person TOMORROW.

Thanks optimisticchic and sandranj, I contacted my congress person already, and they sent a response that i have to send evidence in other to qualify for expedited processing.

sandranj, please how should they say in the letter to have Vermont adjudicate my case.

My lawyer made an inquiry about 2 0r 3 months ago, and they told her that my case is undergoing final background checks :-( I am just tired of everything.

I have never been detained. I am not on probation. I am still married to my USC husband. We have a child together. I have never been in trouble in this country. I have never even had a traffic ticket!

Thanks optimisticchic for the link, I will read it now.

My friend was married to her ex husband. He beat her and police arrested him.

It's been 11 months now, her case still pending.

She filed I-360 along with I-485.

Now, her current bf, who is also a USC, just proposed to her.

When they get married, she will adjust her status through a new marriage.

Would there be any problem?

Warm greetings everybody

i want to say first ,thank you to all that post or posted on this thread.

It is really helpful and comforting to know that there are others in the same situation as ours , always willing to answer questions,or simply write a note to cheer one up.

May god bless you all ,and may He gives us all what we yearn for in a timely manner.

I sent my i360 i765 and i485 together,on sept 23 2012.

I received 797 notices for all three.

Prima facie ,even though i did not ask for any.

I had sent the fees for the i485 and i765,but they returned the fees for ead,not needed they said .

When going thru the previous threads, i realised i made a filing mistake in my i765. i checked c(31), but my husband is a usc..

Should i re-file a new one ? I did the filing myself.

I have an appointment to do biometrics for I485 next week ,not for I765 (!?).I am worried they will deny my ead ,or delay it until my vawa gets an approval.

Thank you all in advance.

Hypnos where did you get this information? in your case as self petitioning widower you have to send it to Chicago Lockbox (If you are sending form I-360 with form I-485) or to USCIS Dallas or Phoenix Lockbox facility( if you are submitting form I-360 alone), based on where you live.

Per my sig, I submitted an I-360 (widower), I-485 and I-765 to the Chicago Lockbox in April. In July I had an interview at Dallas, where the IO informed me that local offices had no jurisdiction over widow/er I-360s and it needed to be sent to VSC. I didn't think he was right (I believed he was confusing widow/er I-360s with VAWA I-360s), however USCIS stuck to their guns and transferred my I-360 and I-485 to VSC a short time later. In reply to a congressional enquiry from my congressman in August, USCIS doubled-down and told me that my I-360 had to be adjudicated at VSC before my I-485 could be, and that VSC were currently processing I-360s from June 2011 (i.e. the VAWA queue).

An attorney highly experienced in I-360 widow/er petitions (Brent Renison) has told me that local USCIS offices do have jurisdiction over widow/er I-360s and told me to get the DHS Ombudsman involved to get this little jurisdictional merry-go-round resolved. The Ombudsman initially declined to help me, but following a representation to them on my behalf by Mr. Renison they agreed to take it up with USCIS. This is the point where I am at right now, waiting for a response from either USCIS directly or the DHS Ombudsman.

It's a bit of a mess. Actually it's a lot of a mess.

Wow it looks like we are all over our heads with vsc. This is just becomming

[Sandra G. 5,043]

vawa if you friend gets married while her VAWA is pending then the VAWA application will no longer be valid. She can apply for AOS once she gets married, but tell her they will scrutinize her new marriage...

[Sandra G. 5,043]

Vawa if your friend gets married now when is still pending her case, then her Vawa case will be canceled.

[Sandra G. 5,043]
