2012 re-authorization, Male VAWA, children VAWA

[SingleDad2usc 71]

I still didn't hear how my life is changing (what papers I have in hands) following filing:

1. during prima facie

2. during adjudication

3. during 5-7 fight if denied

Re-enter? No... you'll get a ban for this....

Bills from Lawyers?

[SingleDad2usc 71]

assuming "Sanctuary for Families". I hand in Affidavit - what papers do I receive along the process, and when?

Bills from Lawyers?

In the event your Vawa is denied you have the right to appeal, and once you saw an IMMIGRATION JUDGE you can have your case fighting in Court for 5,7 years in the meantime you will be able to work,drive, just not to travel abroad. You will be able to come out of the shadows,lol

1-If you decide to send the I-360 along with the I-485 you can apply to obtain a work permit. With prima facie the individual is eligible to get cash assistance, food stamp and medicaid, but New York City just will give you medicaid and food stamp (for you). Your kids are US CItizens they can receive that without problem.

2. If your Vawa is approved and you didn't send the I-485 to adjust your status THEN you can file form I-485 and I-765 to obtain a work permit together. Once approved your Vawa you will have your adjustment of status interview in 3-5 months.

3. If denied your Vawa you will be able to appeal and get your work authorization renewed in Court when fighting inn case your EAD expired.In ALL three cases Immigration CANNOT DEPORT YOU!

If Sanctuary for families decide to help you they will send your I-360 to USCIS and after 25 days you will get your prima facie.Prima facie is to apply for public benefits, and USCIS won't deport you as well. If you decide that you want to send the I-485 along with form I-360 you can apply to obtain a work permit as well and after three months you will get your work permit.Prima facie determination is valid for 150 days and you can renew several times until final decision of your Vawa with USCIS.If your case is denied and you are in removing proceedings only if you have an application pending the EAD can be renewed.

When you get your EAD you can go the Social Security office and apply to get a SSN, then once you receive the SSN you can get driver's license, open a bank account,obtain a credit card.

Last nite kids were ecstatic at the beach. Tonight it's me. It took the genius of Sandranj to tell me what I DON'T need. Of course, my VAWA case is based on children abandonment by LPR. That's why I'll ask ACS to help me in filing "Involuntary termination of Absent Mother's Parental Rights". I got screwed out of that order in 2004 neglect settlement, as no one was sure that I will not end up dropping the ball as well. Now is the perfect time to obtain it, when she is already LPR and possibly USC. Besides this future 2012 Court filing and 7-page affidavit, I'll give lawyer:

1. Marriage Certificate

2. Birth Certificates

3. 2005 Order Confirming Marriage and Birth Certificates

4. Offender's A-number

5. ACS files, discussing Offender's neglect/abuse of both children 2002-2004

6. 5 Orders of Protection against Offender 2003-2004

7. My sworn Court filing in 2006, exposing Offender's OCSE fraud

8. Children's medicals, including psychiatric

9. Signed portrait, mailed to me in large envelope by Mayor's Office, of Mayor B. giving me Neighborhood Award

Should I obtain any seal of Criminal Court cases (and Orders of Protection against me) all dismissed by 2003 - or time validity of those records has expired anyway?

[Sandra G. 5,048]

Single dad you need to gather these documents as well

1-Your local police clearances from each locality or state you lived for 6 months or more during the last 3 years

2-copy of your birth certificate and respective translation

3-Notarized affidavit from at least 2 people stating you are a person with good moral character

4-proof you lived together with your ex wife(some utilities bills in name of both, some bank statement,health insurance,rent or mortgage receipts,envelopes from correspondence addressed to each party showing the same address at the same period of time.

5- Children's psychologist evaluation from the past and present.Counseling/mental health records if the children attended or attend counseling

6-Divorce public record -to show she didn't divorce you more than two years ago.

7-Copy of Criminal Court cases and Orders of Protection dismissed in 2003

8-Pictures(the kids, you& her, you&her and kids) maximum 30 pictures

9- Notarized Affidavit (1 page)from friends and family stating you had a genuine relationship.

10-If you can get 1 or 2 Notarized affidavits (1 page) from friends and family stating the children were abused by her,it will help a lot your case.

11-Medical records from the past and present if is related with the abuse,otherwise YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUBMIT at all.I mean you can send proof you have a child with special needs though.

In your personal affidavit I suggest you do a chronology of events like how and when you met her, when you got married,reasons why you married her. Tell a bit about the love you shared with her, tell a bit about your life with her, then specify the abuse with as much detail as you can remember such as dates,places, circumstances etc...Focus on the facts of the abuse in each incident and the effect had on the children.

http://www.publicrecordspy.com/DivorceRecords.php for FREE: spits out 2 hits in NY for my name and 2 hits for her name. It's not at all conclusive, but piques my interest. Does anyone know FREE way of seeing the actual detail? Any search-site that offers free trial "no credit card required"? Any free access to LexisNexis at NYC libraries or elsewhere?

I suggest you try a case search lookup somewhere like here: http://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/webcivil/ecourtsMain You might not find anything because not all courts are available but it's worth a shot. Otherwise it might make sense to contact a local attorney and ask them to do a search for you. I doubt it would cost you too much.

very interesting link: says has records to 2001. But LASTNAME search showed only two OTHERPEOPLE'S cases of 2003 (in criminal) and 2006 (in supreme). None of my family cases are showing, although there should have been at least her MD1 (Supreme Court) 2003 conviction. But she was promised it would be "sealed" a year later, after her total complience with orders

You can't see it because you aren't supposed to see it. It's been "sealed," which means it's shielded from public view.

This web site may be helpful to you as it pulls records from a unified record system: http://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/webcrim_attorney/AttorneyWelcome

You do have a problem, in that you are trying to prove a negative. Maybe you find no record of a divorce in New York, however that doesn't mean a divorce didn't take place elsewhere. The safe bet would be to file for a divorce yourself, then you know it happened and you would have a document in hand.

If she has divorcced him then there is no marriage to be divorced from. He needs to find the state of the union before proceeding. That may involve some records searching or paying someone to do it for him.

[SingleDad2usc 71]

Yes, WebCrims was showing me her scheduled dates at MD1 every month 2003-2004. I'd come in to listen on those dates, and would approach the prosecutor every time my Order of Protection needed renewal. Now, of course, WebCrims show nothing.

According to Sandranj, there is no need to file divorce: just submit "public divorce records", I assume for NY state should be enough. Today, I just need to assure myself via any free website that such records are not showing up - so I can proceed gathering all other docs for Sanctuary for Families
