Congratulations on such a rapid approval!! You must be ecstatic! I thought they adjudicated petitions in the order received?!?!

Thanks! I thought so too but I guess not! I think the stronger your case , the higher your chance of faster approval. I believe my well written affidavit played a role. Also some officials work faster than others

It's not advised to receive TANF and food stamp for you, you can use for the kids , after filing the AOS.

I recall severally on this forum where you said it's okay to get Medicaid and snap but you strongly advised against cash benefits. I never applied for cash benefits. You said food and healthcare are not counted against VAWA applicants

Bring the birth certificate, marriage certificate and divorce decree, if any, a valid passport, if you have children then bring the children's birth certificate as well and your work permit.
