If you're not involved with some type of criminal activities, let them check your profiles. who cares right? I wouldn't worry.

I have a a membership on my life search. Com and I keep getting messages that a Steven from new Jersey keeps on Google me and on my phone fb has this thing that shows u the devices that are currently active and the cities and I had an open session in new jersey. It was creepy. So I change my password and I added a code to my profile so when ever someone tries to long on to my account they send the code to my phone and they ley me know where and some tried to long in to my account. By the way I do not know any Steven nor have I ever been to new Jersey

Wanted to check about a situation where...

USC spouse who is abuser, & after abusing his wife long time, files for divorce.

What this poor immigrant spouse should do?

Get the divorce as she wanted for some time (by not responding to it) after all that ill treatment by USC husband

or

should response to it & why?

How this is going to effect VAWA?

An otherwise-eligible person can still file for VAWA after divorcing, provided they do so within two years of the divorce becoming final.

US GREAT If the divorce was filed based in irreconcilable differences then it's up to her to contest or not,it will not hurt her Vawa at all,but if the divorce was filed based in fraud or even domestic violence she should contest the divorce ,because USCIS will not approve an adjustment of status if the alien has the divorce granted based in fraud or dv.

I am not pessimistic. I am just realistic.Here what the letter the IO gave me says"USCIS is not able to complete ur case at this time.Your case is being continued till final decision is taken. Reason for continuance(3 options and IO clicked on this one):your case is held for review.You will receive a notice from us if we need more documents, need to reschedule u for another interview or if we made final decision on ur case"

This is summary not exact words. The IO asked a lot about my previous work before I got EAC and he asked exact dates which I replied honestly and all of this info where already written in my biometric form and waiver fee form to ask for fee waiver. He did not ask why I worked without work permission .He just verified what I previously wrote then made his decision to give me this useless paper.

I tried to ask him if he can stamp my passport so I can know that I am approved but he refused completely and he said this is for security reasons(non-sense...right?)

Usually if u travel u need a stamp in ur passport plus ur green card to re-enter the states and also to attach green card with ur new passport which he refused to stamp.He said that if they send denial letter I need to respond in 30 days only otherwise I have no case.It does not make sense to me that USCIS after 3 years of reviewing my case in all their centers and asking for every kind of document u can think of or u cannot think of..They know now about me more than I know about myself by far and now they are saying they cannot reach decision?????????does this make any sense?????

If they want to approve me they will approve me on spot in the interview,stamp my passport and tell me to wait for green card after 2-3 weeks like every body else.The worst scenario was to ask me in interview for more papers to send afterwards so they can approve my case or ask me why I worked without authorization or anything they found wrong in my case to ask me to explain but this never happened.The only explanation that they already denied my case before even I go to interview and IO confirmed this in the interview but they do not want me to faint in the office so they allow me to go home so they can send denial.

Hi fancy sorry for what u are going through just hand in there.which state was ur interview?

[leilabird 18]

Sandra, I'm getting ready to file divorce also. I'm divorcing him because of domestic violence. You're saying if the divorce is granted based on dv then i can't get a green card? I'm confused.

[Sandra G. 5,038]

leilabird I answered the question that Ur great member posted regarding the US citizen filing for divorce(plaintiff). I said if the US citizen files for divorce based in domestic abuse (abuse against him,the US citizen) the alien(foreign/defendant) should contest the divorce,because if the alien has the divorce granted based in domestic violence probably USCIS will not approve the alien's AOS.

In your case if you (alien) files for divorce based in domestic violence you will be fine.The problem is if the US Citizen files and the divorce is granted based in dv against him.

US GREAT If the divorce was filed based in irreconcilable differences then it's up to her to contest or not,it will not hurt her Vawa at all,but if the divorce was filed based in fraud or even domestic violence she should contest the divorce ,because USCIS will not approve an adjustment of status if the alien has the divorce granted based in fraud or dv.

Thanks a lot, Sandra and Hypnos !!

Yes, its filed based on irreconcilable differences only & nothing else.

My understanding is...

If she doesn't respond to it now, divorce will be granted later on SAME (irreconcilable differences) basis and he won't be able to add anything to it (like DV or fraud), right?

So, she need not to worry after this as far as VAWA chances are concerned?

Thank You !

Hi Everyone,

Just an update on my case. Yes indeed it was not a mistake. My green card was approved without interview. I went for an info pass to verify this. However it got lost in the mail and I have recently filed form I-90 which was accepted. Waiting continues....

Be encouraged everyone.
