fajrakatana there are several memorandums from Uscis stating about that.I don't have the memorandums with me, but ask your lawyer to find it. There is one from May 2012 stating about that as well. I use to read it the immigration updates every day, but I don't use to save the memorandums.

I remember your case, you are be eligible to apply with the IMMIGRATION COURT for " VAWA CANCELLATION OF REMOVAL" , it's a relief from removal.Despite you can file I-360 anyway as well.

Yes both physical abuse + mental.My case has been a complicated one with ups & downs & 4 everyone that have been following, they know what i'm talking about.You just have to look thru my posts to see what went wrong with my case & how i got to this point.I had pics of injuries but no doctor's report or police report.I didn't even know about VAWA until a couple of wks when my divorce would have reached d 2yr mark,that would have made me ineligible.I filed a few days to when it was almost 2yrs,they got it on time so i qualified.I got RFE for good moral Xter + GFmarriage after about a month of filing.I sent in all i had but apparently they needed more to prove GFmarriage, cos most of the bills showed just my name.This time,i went everywhere i could remember that we had things that we signed together or where either of us was listed. i found one joint lease,life insurance policy, greeting cards from his mum, layaway plan for furniture,3yrs Tax returns(I filed as Married but filing separately, his name/SSN listed but i had to explain why it wasn't joint filing-my reason matched my initial affidafit) & his sister gave me a notorized note to attest to the fact that we were married for real.My attorney helped draft two pages of letter explaining thgs & why i can or cannot get certain documents.

My attorney & I took time to respond to the RFE.So it took about a month from when VSC received it to the time of approval.In total, it took about 18months + 2weeks from date of filing to date of approval.I pray they transfer my I-485 soon, i just want this to be over with & enjoy my Xmas hopefully.

Thanks everyone for your support & prayers.

I pray many more approvals come to each & everyone of you waiting.

Myjay & Macbook, how are your cases going,any news & how long have u been waiting?Do you guys have attorneys?How come they are not pestering VSC.I know I-360 is suppose to take anywhere from a few months-2yrs & if its beyond 2yrs, then somethg is wrong.I know there's a body that is suppose to help handle issues like this but you must have attempted to contact the USCIS body( VSC in this case )without success several times before you can complain & they will help look into your case.

Loveme & Memes-any interview notices yet?

Lorphelpme, Optimistic chic yours is coming...keep hope alive.

Goodluck everyone.

I am an F-1 student visa holder with an Prima Facie for 180 days.

However, I read on fafsa website, it states that

eligible non-citizen: Has a valid Prima facie

In eligible: non immigrant visa holder: F1, J1 etc

So pretty much I'm in both condition, does it make me eligible or in eligible for financial aids?

Any answer would be appreciated

Thank u everyone.

Dominique,i was not in any removal proceeding.I went to my interview by myself 6yrs ago cos i figured it was better for one of us to show up than neither of us.I got a denial letter afterwards & a letter stating b/c my husband did not accompany me to the interview, that my application has been denied.In the same letter, it states that this does not deny me from applying for other immigration benefits.When i applied for I-360 last yr,my attorney checked but i was not placed in any removal proceeding.

I had 2 friends in the past that neither them or their husbands went to the interview & they got not only denial letter, they also got deportation notice.

You know how USCIS is, they r unpredictable.
