U-visa certification

this offer was rejected due to medical

Have you investigated what other Citizenships the children have?

[SingleDad2usc 71]

Interesting thought; although second part is not correct. Generally, how could we sum up ALL possible reasons for expedite requests?

How would their disabilities be relevant to expediting VAWA? You're in a period of authorized stay while your VAWA is pending so they aren't at risk for being parentless and if I am not mistaken you can apply for an EAD during that time period as well.

You have no reason to expedite. You have lived here our of status for more than 14 years without attempting to gain legal status, what's the hurry now? BTW I hear NYC has a great public transportation system.

u r 2 nice

so what are all possible reasons for VAWA expedite?

Are you saying Canada "rejected" the children's citizenship "due to medical"?

established USCIS expedite criteria regarding humanitarian issues may be invoked, but customers and their representatives should be aware that any request for expeditious processing on humanitarian grounds must involve extraordinary circumstances Source

Regarding U Visa, doesn't that require a current and ongoing case to which the visa recipient is key?

On the VAWA idea, you don't even seem to know if she's still in the US, maintained her LPR status or even is still your wife. I elieve you should focus your efforts on getting solid answers to these questions as that info will directly impact your ability to file.

Links are always so appreciated

On U-visa qualification, I believe attorney I saw. If you can cite statute stating otherwise, I'll be grateful.

On VAWA proofs of wife's status and Marriage status, how do you propose I solve this?

"There is no statute of limitations on a victim’s helpfulness to law enforcement. A declaration or certification may be provided for cases that are closed or for investigations for crimes that occurred months or years ago, as long as the victim was helpful to law enforcement."

An interesting point that the OP should be aware of, from the same USCIS link:

"USCIS also requires additional evidence from the applicant, and will conduct a full background investigation that includes an FBI fingerprint and name/date-of-birth check and a full review of the applicant’s immigration history."

[SingleDad2usc 71]

Correct. I was floored by the fact that in the entire 1.5h meeting with a lawyer, the ONLY time that she sounded tentative was in re: 2 arrests that I suffered in my wife's hands on her false 911 calls. She said she had to consult (not sure if she meant supervisor or DA office) if that may be a disqualifier. It sounded as an extreme irony to my ear: those false arrests were arguably the worst abuse I suffered (and children as well, as they were shoved in and out of foster care every time). Lawyer said that the first thing she needed me to do was to go pay $10 for each ORIGINAL certificate of disposition (that bears original of the seal)

No.

Of course you also forgot to inform her your wife obtained asylum status by fraud, stating she was single rather than married.

Of course you also forgot to inform her your wife obtained asylum status by fraud, stating she was single rather than married.

That will all come out, along with the 10 or so year long open child protective services case and however many restraining orders his possible-but-maybe-not-wife was granted, during the background investigation.

[SingleDad2usc 71]

no, of course all this is prominent in my affidavit: my wife did the same in regard to Birth Certificates, statements to police and Child Protective Services, her own lawyers and therapists, Judges, every single person she came in touch with. It was within her pattern: the worst thing for me personally, because I've been taught precise science in my academic life, was that with ANY of her statements under any circumstances (intimate, social, official, etc) one could never know what one was listening to. Truth was a totally random factor with her; one's odds were 50/50. Of course, I was not anticipating anything like that - this was my first marriage.

I'm not sure though that "single" or "married" is material in old Political Asylum case. I'm sure that "living and working in US" or "being banned from return to US for the next 10 years" is material in Support Court. It's also within her domain, as to how she further battled her record to adjust to LPR and especially USC. Knowing her better than others - I suspect, she managed

Her status as married to a Canadian (was it resident or citizen) would have been very material as her application would have been denied and her referred to applying in Canada where she could reside with her spouse. Or did she live in Canada for a period before the two of you jaunted across the border to have your children born on U.S. soil?

But neither here nor there......you have your proof of marriage, your proof of joint residency, your proof of VAWA, and your proof of good moral character....just waiting for the attorney to notify you if they will represent you or not. So we'll hear back when you find out.
