Vawa part3

[Apple2013 2]

apple2013 yes i heard some cases that the local office sent it the I-360 to Vermont for revocation, they can't deny just Vermont,but it's not common at all, it happens in cases such as the alien got marriage when waiting adjudication of the Vawa,the alien reconciliated with the abuser when waiting adjudication of the vawa etc.It needs to be some new fact that emerged before AOS interview and they were not aware when adjudicating the I-360 petition.You are good,don't worry.Congrats.

Thank you Sandra

I hope everything will go smoothly. I think I won't be able to sleep well until I have my green card in hand Another 8 months of waiting.....

Congrats Apple2013 God is indeed good jump for joy!!!!!!!! Congrats again!!!!!

Thank

I had to reread the email and check the case number for at least 10 times to make sure they sent it to the right person @.@ So far I've never heard of anyone who did not pass the interview, so it's kinda a relief.

Hi Ssisi1026, I have send you PM twice. You did not respond. Need to ask you a question.

[Galateia 1]

Hi all,

Today I found out a co-worker is on a conditional GC that expires in July, and her psychologically abusive husband is doing some seriously uncool controlling garbage under the threat of not filing her ROC. He has her convinced that if he doesn't file it, she will be deported, etc etc etc. He has physically attacked her once, but it's more daily mental/emotional/psychological abuse, cutting her off from the money she earns, controlling her access to the car, threatening her with deportation if she doesn't act a certain way, etc. It's a sad story that has been told many times on VJ.

I told her to get herself onto this site ASAP and start asking questions, so hopefully she will get a chance to do so but she'll have to do it when he is not home, for obvious reasons.

It's just weighing on my mind so heavily and I feel so badly for her. Can anyone tell me what her options would be? Can she file on her own if he refuses to cooperate? Can she go through VAWA if he hasn't been battering her/police reports filed? I would like to give her more guidance as she's very emotional and I am sure she's going to find all the info on here really overwhelming.

Thanks.

She already has a (conditional) green card, so she won't be filing for VAWA but can instead file to remove conditions on her green card using an I-751, but with a waiver of the joint filing requirement.

There is an option for filing with a waiver on the I-751 that indicates your spouse has abused you, but like VAWA you cannot just claim it, you need to have substantial amounts of proof that it happened (police reports, psychologists reports, photographs of injuries sustained, etc.)

Alternatively, if they divorce, there is a different waiver that does not indicate abuse but that she entered a marriage in good faith that was later terminated through divorce (or annulment). This waiver is said to have a lower burden of proof (because you don't need to document abuse, just a good faith marriage).

Galateia your friend to file I-751 waiver she must submit the divorce decree and she needs to prove a bonafide marriage.To file I-751 based in extreme cruelty she doesn't need to show the divorce decree but she has to prove bonafide marriage and extreme cruelty.To prove extreme cruelty is very hard and she needs a pshychological evaluation stating she is suffering major depression or pos traumatic disorder otherwise they won't approve her waiver based in mental abuse.

Akumu it seems Vawa Unit is giving this information for everyone calling there.2 weeks ago they said to Panama guy same thing.

Hi sandra, my diagnostic is; " 311 Depressive Disorder diagnosis " I can continue my treatment with a consueler, because I can not find any pshychology (free) yet.
