VAWA, Part 8

[Sandra G. 5,057]

iF YOUR FELONY IS NOT AGGRAVATED FELONY ( FRST OR SECOND DEGREE) YOU SHOULD BE OK.

 

If your felony is first or secind degree prepare yourself because USCIS cannot approve  a waiver for aggravated felony.

[Sandra G. 5,057]

Grameecy the type of abuse does not affect the processing time ok. They adjudicated the cases in the order the cases are received.

About police clearance, when i went to get mine there was a line saying: clearance letter for immigration process, so it might depend on your state

[Lunalotto 4]

Sorry i have to ask this again, nobody replied and i dont want to wait any longer because cases are taking way too long, if Sandra could help me i would appreciate it but if anyone else knows the answer please help me out, how can i send an addendum for an application that it is already at national benefits center? Do i just write a cover letter with the addendum on it? And also whats the address? Pleaseeeee

@LunalottoReference your local police clearance letter, did you get it from the locality you lived with your abusive spouse or from your new location you currently live as a safe place?

Actually going today to get my fingerprint cards for my out of state records.

 

I read this from a link from Damara

 

The situation with fingerprints, however, is complicated. Self-petitioners are instructed not to tell the agency or police department that they are requesting state clearance letters for immigration purposes. This is because fingerprinting agencies are obliged to send fingerprints for immigration matters directly to the USCIS--which is NOT what VAWA self-petitioners want. It is better for self-petitioners to tell the agency that they are requesting the state criminal record check for a domestic violence situation.

Heres the link again for everyone. Its an old document but I believe its still helpful.
