VAWA, Part 6

[mamaof3! 9]

Hi, I've been following this topic while.

I recently got email notifications for both vawa and 485 which said it's "post decision activities.

We mailed you a notice." It doesn't say approved or denied.

Im waiting for the letters and I can't tell its details yet.

I got a prima facie after a week from filing concurrently and Ive never got RFE/ NOID for 6.5months.

My case is not strong but I see many people get RFE before uscis decide to deny the case.

Now I feel this is something bad, possibly denial decision.

Could anyone tell me what it means?...

To be honest, you have to wait to read whatever letter has been sent to you, as all cases are different, I have not seen this, but you cannot tell until you have that letter in hand. You cannot know for sure its a denial, even if it is, you have another chance to gather more evidence and file a better case. Goodluck!!

Hello VJ family! Hopefully everyone is doing well.

I have a pending I-485 and recently received the following 2 case updates.

The first one was on May 23rd at 4:40AM

On May 23, 2015, we transferred your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, Receipt Number EACxxxxxxxxxx, to another office for processing and sent you a transfer notice. The notice explains why we transferred your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice.

The 2nd one was just a few hours later at 10:00AM

On May 23, 2015, we transferred your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, Receipt Number EACxxxxxxxxxx, to another USCIS office. That office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a notice that explains why we moved your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice.

Anybody knows what is going on here? Is this just another system glitch?

[Dodgertown 27]

Ok. Just did some research here and found that most vawa I-485 filers get these messages.

I guess the wait begins...ughhhhh

Dodgertown I can't believe they transferred your case to the NBC just now, your vawa was approved 4/5months ago.

Yes Sandra, vawa was approved long time ago, but I submitted I-485 only a month ago or so.

How do you know his was approved 4-5 month ago? Also thank you Sandra for all your help!!!

She knows, because she helped me with my vawa application.

Today I got the online case update of my VAWA. APPROVED!!!

I am so very happy and feel so relieved!!

Thanks to everyone who had ever posted on here and Sandra giving advise and answering so many questions here, I was able to submit VAWA by myself.

I collected and organized and wrote papers from October through November and submitted probably about 200 pages to Vermont end of November.

I received my receipt notice on the 5th of December. Prima Facie on the 11th.

I had no psychological evaluation, but a lot of conversations from my husband and myself arguing, where he would accuse and insult me. Threaten me with deportation or taking my dog away.

In Wisconsin you can acces any court files online for free, so I had printed the whole court process, and submitted it with my VAWA.

My husband got charged with 2 counts of False Imprisonment ( Because whenever I wanted to leave him, he would take my phone away, block the doors, and throw me on the floor, when I would get near the door). 2 counts of disorderly conduct, 1 count of battery ( for hurting my hand, by throwing my purse at it and throwing me around the house and against a door) and 1 count of criminal dammage to property (he had smashed my desk lamp against the wall).

One day I had made it out of the house, and I said, that I will get Police to come, if he does not give me my phone. I called a friend in Chicago and his mother came to pick me up. I never returned to my husband from this day! He sent me so many nasty messages, left me evil voicemails, threatened me. When I wanted to get my belongings with my friend he was only yelling at me and throwing them around. My friend and I went to the Police after and I made a statement.

I was sooooo scared of that they would think I am being dramatic or lying... She saw the messages of how he talks to me, she listened to my story, and she put a warrant out the very same night. I was soooo scared of how he would react!!

The same evening he got arrested and luckily my dog was with him in the car and the officer surrendered her to me.

I had no money (I came with 6000$ to the USA and I had lent him money for his car repairs [which he obviously never paid back], bought food and paid bills - and my AOS petition)

I barely knew anyone...

I slept on my friends moms couch for three nights, and then a Family I barely knew took me in to live with them. I had maybe met them 4 times, before they offered me and my dog to stay with them!

This family means the world to me! They gave me a home, food and a family for over 8 months! Supported me with everything! Taught me how to drive a car, helped me figuring everything out, and NEVER pressured me! They probably spent a fortune on me! I was always welcome to go out with them for lunch or dinner with the whole family. They threw a birthday party for me! I got a christmas present! I do not know, how to ever give back, what they have given me!!

It took nearly 6 months for my VAWA to get approved and I had no RFE.

I can say THANK YOU, to everyone who had shared their story here and their knowledge, because it helped me putting my papers together!

When I seeked help for my divorce papers at the court house, I found a justice clinic there. They usually only help you with the papers, but when they heard my story, they decided to represent me with my restraining order (granted for 4 years), my divorce, and the AOS.

My original AOS package got denied in February, because I had no qualifying sponsor. In end of March, with help from the legal clinic, I applied for my EAD and AOS with a pending VAWA. My Biometrics were end of April and beginning od May I had my EAD approved.

End of this month will be my divorce and end of this year, my husband will get his verdict. He has to complete a mandatory Domestic Violence Program by the probation office. That was what I had suggested, when the parole officer asked me, if I would be ok, if he does not stay in jail, until the verdict.

I am planning on attending the verdict court date and to read out a victim impact statement. Because I never got the chance to tell my husband what he made me go through and what I had to go through after I left him. ( when I went to see my sister, my niece and my mother for christmas in Texas, on the flight back, I got detained at the airport, as I had no documentation from USCIS, proving my status. At the time I had not received any VAWA papers yet, and my original AOS was on hold. I did not know, that the papers had meanwhile arrived at the families house).

It made me stronger! It made me a better person! I am grateful, for that my marriage did not even last months and that I left as soon as I was able to!

And again, thank you to everyone who had a part of this! Most of you will not even know, because I just learned from all of your messages!
