VAWA, Part 7

[Sandra G. 5,047]

danette patrick you must write down a letter explaining that the abuser is your father and not your spouse because of this you cannot provide proof of bonafide marriage .

Did you submit a copy of your father U.S passport or a copy of the certificate of naturalization? if you didn't submit yet then you should submit along with the letter explaining he is your father.If you couldn't get a copy of his U.S passport or of the certificate of naturalization you should explain to them why you could not submit and ask them to search regarding his status.

If you want to work then file a new I-765 and put category C 9, and submit a copy of the I-797 regarding form I-485, plus 2 passport pictures, and copy of your passport as well.If you can't afford to pay the USCIS fees then you have to file form I-912,mentioning that you don't have any assets or savings.File form G1145 as well.

Thanks for your response. I will make a letter then submit that letter together with my good moral character. I dont have my father's documents such as passport and naturalization but I already included that in my declaration. But for assurance I will also explain that to them.

In regards to the new I-765 is it also going to be sent to Vermont Service Center? Is there going to be no problem because I already included a form I-765 with category C 31 on my first application?

Thanks Sandra; I already did the 1130 1485 interview, my application waa recommended for approval bit we divorced in may....never received my conditional....so reason I was asking how I can put it on hold if I already have done the interview. I think my wife was given an rfe to submit divorce papers; she has 90 days to respond...so if she responds...or the 90 days end, then my 1 485 will automatically be canceled.

[Sandra G. 5,047]

danette Patrick yes you have to submit form I-765 to Vermont.You will not have a problem because you submitted a previous one using category C31.Question 11 write down pending I-765 and submit a copy of the previous form I-765. Write down in the cover letter that you submitted your previous form I-765 on xxxx with the wrong category.

[Sandra G. 5,047]

strongstaystrong it seems USCIS did not approve your AOS otherwise you would have received your GC a long time ago.

You can send a letter to USCIS(where you submitted your AOS) and ask them to put your I-485 on hold and submit a copy of the I-360 receipt as well.There is no guarantee they will put the petition on hold tho.Make sure if your AOS is still pending, the USCIS website is no reliable.

@Sandra recently USCIS mailed my husband (now ex husband) see below. They sent an RFE for the i 130 originally filed a year ago with the an i485 that was denied. Now I have filed another i485 after my i360 and i765 was approved. He will obviously not cooperate - but I am wondering if this will delay my i485 in any way. My current i485 so far is processing -I am going for biometrics and they already sent it to " A New Office Has Jurisdiction".

redmango88, did you not have your green card interview?

Sandra, is it possible to have a VAWA green card approved without an interview?

Anyone knows what happen after Vsc transfers AOS case to NBC?

[Sandra G. 5,047]

Another anxious yes it's possible to have the AOS approved without interview, but it's not common at al. I juat saw 3 cases in 15 years

[Sandra G. 5,047]

Polílla NBC will do the background check and see if some document is missing and they will issue an RFE. Usually the case stays in the NBC 60/90 days and then once everything is fine with the case they will ship to the local office for interview,some local offices are taking 7/12 months to set up the interview,but most of the local offices take 60/90days.
