My-joy like everyone else my faith waivered from time to time there where days I felt I would not get approved or my life would be placed on hold for a long time but God is good he hears our cries an the sincerity of our hearts......

When did you apply?

Sandranj,

how are you? Do you know how long usually we have to wait for a decision after people handed in the RFs. I have been waiting my case over 14 moths. and i did get my fourth prima facies. they asked the RFs on April 22nd, and they received my RFs on May 3rd. right now it is already june 11, but i still get nothing from USCIS. do you think it is normal.

I feel very hopeless.

Ler these people take their time and reveiew and approve your cases. You do not want any impromptu negative decisions.Every thing in time. I had an RFE 1 month after submission, ddnt hear anything else untill approval 11 months later. It will work out and If your case is a case for VAWA then ull be approved. No iffs ands or buts about it

Thank you "missymd". Your information makes me feel better. yes, hoping we can hear from them soon.

Every week i receive hundreds of emails. I am member of other sites as well, and I will try to answer here some frequent questions and provide some informations.

When you have your Vawa case denied you have the option to file an appeal or submit a motion,it depends of each decision. If your case has to go to the Appeal to the Federal Circuit Courts and you submitted your appeal to the 2nd or 9th Circuits they will review your case based in domestic violence/extreme cruelty, but if you are in the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, or 10th, the Federal Circuit Court CANNOT review the decision issued by an immigration judge or the BIA because the “extreme cruelty” is considered a discretionary factor, and they consider that can only be decided by the immigration judge and the BIA.

Many people in deportation proceedings filing Vawa Cancelation of Removal asked me how can I prove hardship? ( the alien must prove extreme abuse and hardship), well you can establish hardship by proving that your recovery from abuse would be jeopardized if deported, or proving the abuser threatened to track the victim down in her/his home Country if she/he leave the U.S, and proving you maintain a protection order in the U.S. against the abuser.

Many people do not mention some circumstances of the verbal abuse, because they don't know if it's abuse or not.Berating your ethnicity;threatening to report you with allegations that you married for immigration papers, forcing you to work without work permit, threatening to turn you in because of your immigration status, threatening to take your kids away all these circumstances are considered mental abuse.

When writing your affidavit you MUST describe the courtship. I saw hundreds of RFEs because the individuals failed to describe the courtship,they need to know if you got married to get papers or for love, and they will be able to find out about that when they know the circumstance that lead you to got married.

Every time you submit affidavits from your friends they MUST state their full name, place of birth,date of birth,present address and contact number.Your friends must inform when they met you first time and where, last time they saw you or heard about you etc..

I know many people here did not submit their Vawa case and others are still living with their spouses, then here is what we use to say to all victims of domestic violence or victims of mental abuse:

- take pictures of the house if the abuser broke or destroyed some stuff in the house;

-take pictures if you have some visible injuries;

-go to the hospital TODAY IF YOU WERE BATTERED or if you feel suicidal or depressed. Any hospital will admit you for consultation even if you can't afford to pay them, after receiving the bill you can apply for "charity" with the hospital;

-call 911 if you are battered or feel threatened. Do not worry they won't "deport" you! ;

-If you are suffering domestic violence or you are being mentally abused call Domestic violence hotline and ask them a shelter where you can stay,

-when leaving the house take with you ALL your documents and children's documents as well. Leave just a brief note saying "I left",in order for your husband to know that you were not kidnapped, and not to call the cops and put everyone searching for you and your kids. Do not mention with neighborhoods or his friends that you are moving to a shelter;

- DO NOT ANSWER the abuser phone calls after leaving him/her or his/her family phone calls, tell your family not to disclose with him/her where you are living,

-delete him/her from facebook , change your facebook/email passwords;

-as soon you leave your house go to the family Court to file for child's custody;

-if you are moving to a shelter take just 1 suitcase per person;

-do not leave your house if the abuser is there, try to leave when he is not at home,of course if you call 911 you can leave the house because the cops will be there;

-If you don't have any money or food find a "salvation army" place they will be able to help you out, specially those with police report;

Be safe!
