My question is should I apply for a work permit now, I did before but uscis was waiting on info from my spouse which he refuse to produce and by the time they were aware of the vawa filing they had already denied the work permit because they did not get the info from him. Now that I am doing a selp petition should I file a new request for work permit and is it possible to get the permit even though the i-360 is pending? I know my questions might have some peole saying "duh" but I am really ignorant to this entire filing process

From wat am reading you only sent in the i360 yes u can apply for the work permit. (Are u in removal) But for your sake I relly think you should get a lawyer who has experience with vawa. You shouldn't have to be using google and you paying a lawyer. Most immigration lawyers are very lackadaisical so imagine one who has no prior experience if your lawyer makes any mistake that will cost you time lots of it from wat i have witness with vsc and with vsc time is definately not of the essence.

lorphelpme you said to Nardah "from what I am reading you only sent in the i360 yes u can apply for the work permit". She just can apply to get work permit if she has a pending I-485 or had her vawa case APPROVED ok, just having form I-360 filed alone is enough to obtain EAD.

Sandranj u are saying that if you have a i360 filed alone is enough to obtain a EAD? My friend is in removal and was told she can only file the i360 she can't obtain an EAD that's why I ask her if she is in removal. ( I could be wrong) so the question goes to you can someone obtain an EAD and be in removal?

I also read here also About someone who was in removals like my friend who said they couldn't apply I guess if they can then their lawyers dont know any better, that's why I love my vj family you get so much knowledge.

Please let me know cause my friend would love one so she can work

I know about the i485 and definately about an approved i360

Sandra, what is category 14? I thought it's supposed to be c9? Thank you

It is c(14) IF you have an approved i-360 / are in 'deferred action' status

It is c(9) IF you have a pending i-360 and pending i-485

You cannot get an EAD with a pending i-360 UNLESS you also have a pending i-485. Hope that clears up the confusion!

I will, my lawyer says we will hear something from vsc before the end of the year.

I am a newbie on this site and have read all these helpful posts. Indeed there is a wonderful family of Vawa applicants here. I just filed my case last week and I'm waiting a receipt.I only filed I-360 do I have to wait till its approved before I file employment authorization card? I'm hearing conflicting info on when its appropriate to file for the I-785. Thanks
