I won. thats all i have to say to you people. .

Win? Is this about winning? I'm a new immigration lawyer. this isn't winning, it's proving reality. Evidence, following the rules, not commiting perjury etc...

So, what will you do now?

Hey guys i wanted to Update yall.

and i just wanna set some things straight. I had a ton of evidence, alo9t of family stuff including video pics etc. My lawyer told me that he got statements that they cant look at that but the bia will look at it. we had tax returns and bills and things we bought for our residence etc. i had lots of pictures of us, video of us. I have detailed recordings about admission of my abuse and the type of abuse, medical docs, alot of things. they originally denied me on good faith but out of all seriousness even with alot of family based evidence they just wanted a BANK ACCOUNT.

regardless of all the naysayers all which dont have any Vawa Appeals experience. I won. The BIA does look at evidence, the guy who did my case didnt even compregend my abuse he probably looked at some official letters from some of the people and the documentation, if he understood my abuse he wouldnt ask solely for a bank account. thats really why i was denied some guy skimming away not really looking at anything.

regardless ill say it again and it feels good. I WON. where there used to be a Decision and denial theres not this on my EAnumberthingie!

Post Decision Activity

On __________, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I360 PETITION FOR AMERASIAN, WIDOWER, OR SPECIAL IMMIGRANT. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at _________

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

i took out the number and the date because i have seen how vicous some members and trolls are on these boards, you can look up appeals online fter desicsions are made and i dont want to be harassed by people on here. having a moderator come in speaks for itself.

I am happy and I want other people to know if you really have a true case with the evidence regardless of all the stigmatism of being a man, you can win in an appeal because hey will actually look at our evidence and its not decided by one guy who is having a bad day just skimming through your case, which is the real impression i got from the Vt Center. Just have the evidence, Have faith and know that it gets better.

Looking back I really think Vawa needs to change and be reformed, people trained to understand the abuse, the center itself should review all evidence given and not be held down by lazyness or not being able to watch video or hear recordings etc. I dont know about every state but in mine there is almost no way for an abused man to get help and the resources are just nonexistent

Win? Is this about winning? I'm a new immigration lawyer. this isn't winning, it's proving reality. Evidence, following the rules, not commiting perjury etc...

So, what will you do now?

If you dont understand discrimination of men in Vawa and the type of help thats available to them, then i dont know what to tell you mr new lawyer.

I have faced no help, alot of odds and alot of people on here telling me I wont get through or win my appeal, the fact is I won my sppeal, because if everyone followed the rules and I had gotten a fair review of all my evidence then i wouldnt have been denied in the first place. You have to fight to prove your case with your own money, time, patience and finding a good lawyer. If you cant comprehend the naysayers and negativity i have encountered on here and the lack of help as a man i have endured to get to this point, i cant help ya understand then.

But maybe ur one of those ppl on a new account or not. For me it was a real battle I had to work hard documenting my abuse looking for help traveling places to get my ex wifes bc to prove bonafide i had to do alot of things, during my abuse searching for help and being rejected because i waa a man, watching that most men dont get through with vawa and even coming here and having negativity pointed my way. I could have given up but i didnt. I had to do so much to protect myself. I needed help and reilef from all that i have gone through, i needed my abuse to finally be over and for me it was finishing this Vawa case. To me its something i worked for and earned,

I won my appeal. My Lawyer also said "I Won" and you know what, you cant take that fact away from me.

To you it is simple as that, for me it was a battle because of all the discrimination i have come under not being able tgo get help as a man, not only that having people on here telling me i wouldnt get through. I had a real relationship and evidence of such, i had excessive evidence i submitted but it wasnt looked at. so the whole proving reality evidence and me following the rules.. i had to appeal from my decision because the rules put down which is for me to submit all evidence i can and for them to accept it.. some ppl dont really follow. i felt accused of committing perjury by my intial denial when they dont even look at my evidence. Its like a bank account is more proof of a good faith marriage rather than being of a similar cultural backround, visting friends and family, having a family life, video and pictures. yeah uh..

What im gonna do now?

Before i met my ex wife, i was 210 lbs in college with a small waist and a generally good looking guy i worked out alot and school went fine. During the course of my abuse i became less of a man and horrid looking, she was parinoid about other women. i got hit and if i wanted to leave shed threaten to kill herself. i went through real abuse. I really let myself go. I havent had the confidence because of my life with her to recover since, Its affected my relationships with people. Im going to work on my mental health first.

Im going to work on myself and my body and finally i can give it a rest. The type of abuse i had lived through made it so that i held onto alot of evidence which i have in a giant box.

After everythings filed i can throw away that stuff finally!

I love science and medicine and I hope to go to eventually work on being a DO, but in the mean time im just gonna focus on getting better.

Before this case i wanted to enter the military and work towards building a future with my ex wife. I had it mapped out, i had ideas for building our credit and buying somethings and well probably doing something along the lines of buying some sorta store. we are both indian and use that as security so we could move foward on our goals and dreams. but now I gotta find a new path for myself.

I do want to buy a home instead of rent and i want to make myself a man of good standing in my own mind which is to be a doctor or something alone those lines. Hopefully i'll make it. I have someone who loves me, my own problems because of my abuse have made it hard, maybe now i can move forward with my life. I've always found test and studying easy just because of my abuse i couldnt focus anymore. I want to go back to school. I used the money i would have used from my parents to go to school on my ex wife and our life together. Now i can just focus on me and my life. I got alot of good business ideas and i know as long as i work hard at it ill get the things i want.

I've made up my mind and I'm going to be happy. WINNING.

congrats hope you have a gr8 life

Thankyou! i will do my best.

and dont take on certain ppl that are trying to make you feel bad for finally winning. you went through alot and its great to read you are not getting screwed over by the system.

[VanessaTony 3,567]

I just wanted to say i didnt find any of you people helpful or consoling. your advice felt more like helping ppl who actually do vawa fraud.

<snip>

In the end you were all wrong. THE BIA looked at my evidence. I was approved. My excessive hard evidence being honest and not trying to decieve anyone payed off.

I won.to all you negative people I have been approved. Good day trolls.

Actually on your first page I helped you by telling you you should be able to get your hospital bills. I understand you are upset but you can't paint everyone with the same brush.

congrats on your approval.
