You can file form I-912 and you don't have to pay USCIS fees. You don't need an attorney to submit the AOS but if an attorney filed your I-360 you should inform the professional that you will file for AOS.

 

It's up t you if you want to file now or to wait.If your case is not a strong case then wait, but considering what you posted here it seems your case is strong.

Yeah I think I will be doing my aos

 packet on my own..I don't plan on hiring a lawyer I just hope I don't mess up on that..any tips on how to send my a complete package for my aos would be highly appreciated!

The work permit you should get in 90 days but the green card will take a while, VAWA is taking 7/9months, plus 7/12months to get the GC, It depends on each local office workload, but CA takes a long time.

 

Write down in the cover letter all documents that you are submitting.

 

Visa Journey has a step by step for AOS then just follow the step by step. There are a few differences for  VAWA petitioners such as,  you don't have to file I-864 but you must submit form I-864W. If you entered without inspection there is no problem, then you don't have to submit a copy of the I-94.

@sandranj oh wow that's a whole lot of petitions I need to file for my i485.when I attempted to apply for the i485 along with i360 I didn't include any of those applications in the packet..thats maybe why they didn't accept my i485 and they sent it back..also for my birth certificate I never got it translated..where can I go get it translated?would that be an issue if I sent it in Spanish?and regarding the process through my child i rather not mesa with that unless that's my last option since I do not have a lawyer..I did my i360 process on my own since I cannot afford to hire one..I think I will also wait to see if I get approved for my i360 I do not want to risk getting into deportation removal.

 

They sent you back because you did not file the AOS correctly. When you decide to file for AOS  let me know please and I will review for you, without any charge ok.

Yeah I was clueless of what to include with the 1485..I pretty much went bases on what I read online which ia not good..but yes when I'm ready to file for the aos I will be sure to ask you for some advice..so do you think going to the info pass is a waste of time? Will they give me any info on my vawa? I mean I would hate to drive over 1 hour to the info pass appointment for nothing:/..thank you very much for your help:)

Hello everyone, I am not sure if its the right forum to post.

Long story short. I came to houston with a K1 visa last year in November. I got married to my fiancee and we submitted all the paperwork for my EAD and GC.

When i finally got here i realized that my fiancee was a different person he started abusing me, he would humiliate me every day and even beat me up. He blocked all the phones so that my other couldn't call me from my country. Finally one day i called the police i got a report and they took him to jail for 2 days, his brother took me to the homeless shelter and left me there for 2 days or more. After that they allowed me to gen back in the house but the abuse continued. Then he started cheating on me which i found out a month later when started taking care of the bills and his credit cards cause he went to jail because of a third DWI which is his second felony. 

Even from jail he was still controlling me, calling every single day and anytime even during work. I finally left the house cause i did not deserve to pay for all the debt that he left wich was 8000 just for credit cards plus his truck and cellphone. The people from the shelter told me to apply for vawa with any of the free legal assistance places to get my GC on my own

Because for sure his family is doing everything to process or divorce. 

Would i still be eligible for VAWA ?

I would love to get more information on this. any experiences from anybody would be helpful please. Currently i have my EAD and the the I 485 is still pending but since were not together is the best idea to apply for VAWA?

Has anyone here experienced these:

 

1- Severe anxiety symptoms?

(example: pounding heart, jumping every time the doorbell rings, trembling or shaking..etc)

 

2- OCD after trauma?

like... not wanting to touch anything the abuser touched?

 

Please share if there is something you have done helped you cope or feel better.

Hi @gramercy

i personally have not experienced to your level of anxiety but I do hope you will get better over time. Know that your mind is traumatized and creating all these thoughts that's making you have anxiety in your physical level. Consult a doctor who can help for sure. I hope you feel better soon.
