Vawa part 4

[Sandra G. 5,057]

Miangela as I posted yesterday t 80% of the time they just ask original documents such as original birth certificate, passport,marriage certificate, divorce decree(if the alien has one) and that is it, but there are 20% of adjudicators that want to see proof of bonafide marriage such as commingling finances and commune residence, they don't ask questions about the abuse.

Sandra was of HUGE help , same for my therapist ! THANK YOU .!!!!!

Someone I was trying to understand your timeline. You said you received a RFE in June, started therapy in July and sent RFE back in August. I thought they give you only 1 months to send RFE back. And my other question is can you start a therapy when they are asking you in RFE? Because I was thinking you need to provide them evidence from the time before you send I-360.

I would very much appreciate your response and congrats on your approval!

Bambi5 / Cielo,

I know this makes so much pressure. I booked my flight tickets for Oct as I thought I would have my EAD and AP by then but nothing till now and I dont know what to do . Someone here got her EAD/ AP in 2 weeks and I guess even Raga Shanti got her EAD in 2 weeks. Right @Raga Shanti ??

Donehere, it took one month to receive my advance parole but I filed EAD and AP separate, first EAD which took 3 weeks and then AP. I don't know why i did not file for them at the same time but anyways I was able to use already my AP and did not have any problems on coming back. When did you file for EAD/AP?

[Raga shanti 3]

As I said previous I apply for AOS and EAD and they receive my document on the aug 6. My biometric was for sept 5 but I did a early walking on aug 28. And my card was pick up by USPS on the aug 30. And my lawyer receive it sept 9. It was very fast for me I guess .

Sandraj, dunno what to believe anymore bc my lawyer told me there will not be an interview bc they asked all the questions on the I 485 form in January when I had my initial interview but there was no decision on that day..

Thank you Lank ...!

You read right. ......I started therapy after the RFE. On the paper it was stated that I had 84 days to send the RFE back , so almost 3 months I would say. They wanted more proofs. My case was mainly mental abuse and extreme cruelty.

I found an extremely kind psychologist who gave me sessions and drafted a great report .I was right away put on medication ( still am actually) after being diagnosed with anxiety and major depression... I had Sandra review the report before sending it back to Vermont.

So I will say , yes you can start after I guess , because that is exactly what I did.

Good luck to you and best of all.

Take care.

I appreciate you experience sharing, mine is also based on mental abuse. I've been waiting for 15 months and still don't have a decision made. Hoping it will happen soon. Thanks again!

Miangela i don't know who gave you this information, but it's wrong. 100% of Vawa fillers must attend AOS interview. Many people had the AOS interview before filing I-360 and after a while filed I-360, but once approved the I-360 the alien must attend the AOS interview again.

Ok thank u so much my case was already transfer to my local office I field 02/19/13 and their website processing time line says that they are on 01/31/13 .. I'm just really nervous I've been in this country over 20 years and I can't picture been deported because I wouldn't know what to do in my home country

I also have question my a uncle file an i245 family petition for my mother back in 2001 would this help me as well

[Sandra G. 5,057]

Miangela your form I-360 is a Vawa self petition it means you are self petitioning yourself, and once approved you will receive your GC based in your I-360 approval and your case will be not connected with any other Uscis application pending .
