A few days ago, Sandra said she had two cases filed in October approved but she had many cases filed in September still pending. I guess this month USCIS Probably are working on cases filed in September, October and November. 

Oh I wish that's true... It seems we're just guessing as we wait.

Hi guys, I have filed the form I 360 under VAWA from abroad and I am waiting on a decision. I was recently offered a full financial aid in my dream college. It is a good college and it starts soon and I do not want to miss it for life. I had already started my application process to the college when I was in the USA and my chances of getting into it was looking good but I came back to my country when my spouse was being increasingly abusive and threatened to kill me or get me deported. Is it possible for me to obtain a student visa to attend this school?

How do you ask financial? Pls asvise

I'm trying to figure it out for myself as well.

It depends where you want to file. Some states allow you to serve by publication while others require serving the spouse in person.

I've heard of people who sometimes move temporarily to for an easier/faster divorce process.

The VAWA processing times are currently around 9-10 months, so count your notice date plus processing times. See what semester that puts you at and try to apply again for that time. I am sure a full scholarship is a good enough reason to get your I-485 expedited at that point. 

I would suggest for you to just earn money or start earning credits in the country you currently live in, so that you save money and can then get your credits certified/translated into the college credits that are being used here. VAWA takes time and patience, so make the best out of the waiting time you have to pass. 

Who files VAWA abroad doesn't file AOS. After VAWA approval the file goes to the NVC and the NVC ships to the U.S Consulate abroad. It will take 7/10 months to get the immigrant visa after VAWA approval. USCIS will not expedite the immigrant visa because of a scholarship.
