Adela there is no explanation why some cases take longer than others. Ask the congress person o inquire on your behalf after 30 /45 days that you had the interview.

 

Sandra, who has to ask a congress person for an inquiry ? me or better if my attorney does it? Or it doesn't really matter? It has to be a formal letter or smth ? Or just on website "email to congress man"? 

[Sandra G. 5,057]

You can ask the congress person to inquire on your behalf, your but you should tell your attorney.

 

You have to contact the congressperson by email and he/she will send you a form for you to sign authorizing him to inquire on your behalf.

my congressman's office worker did inquire about my I 765 case, they emailed her response within a week saying my case is going under background check, and nothing else. 

Dear, Sandra please specify if you know how long I have to wait for the background check to be complete? I have 2 kids and I have to work in order to support them.

hi. I started WAVA process in January. I just send i 360.  Immigration situation is very hard today, so I don't know if I'm allowed to have any hope to win this case. I just want to know if anybody goes this process now, and if anybody have any updates. and if anybody had lately VAWA process, how long did it take?  thanks.

Hi Melissa, I moved your thread and merged it with a Main WAVA thread. This thread is full of support and information for you. 

 

 

[Sandra G. 5,057]

MelIsa this  thread is about VAWA. Please read the  vawa threads part 4/5/6 ansmd you will find a lot of information about vawa. Hundreds of people had their vawa cases approved.

 

VAWA is taking 6/7 months to be adjudicated plus  3/4 months to attend the  AOS interview. 

 

Did you file based in physical or mental abuse? What proof did you submit showing that you suffered abuse and that you have a bonafide marriage?  

[Sandra G. 5,057]

Newyorkfreebird  usually uscis takes 3 months to issue the work  pernit, some cases they even issued in 30/45 days. 

 

File an " e  request" online and contact the   USCIS ombudsman as well.

 

 

[Sandra G. 5,057]

I know that many people here didn't file for divorce yet, but just this year 6 people told me that they had their marriages annuled and they found out just  after  the annulment.

 

Many people  don't know where the spouses live and others know the spouses whereabouts  but  lied in Court saying that  they didn't know the spouse's address, that being said if you  are not divorced file for divorce asap  to avoid situations like I told here.

Jesus 123 as far I understood your sister was found  inadmissible based on 212 Under section 212(a)(9)(C)(i) .She should hire an attorney to check the documents  that she has because her case is a bit complicated.
 
VAWA Waiver 
The only waiver of the permanent bar provided for by statute is for Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitioners.  In order to be granted a VAWA waiver of the permanent bar, the self-petitioner must establish a connection between his or her battering or subjection to extreme cruelty and his or her removal or departure from, or reentry, or attempted reentry into the United State.

"... B) Section 212(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) of the Act - The Permanent Bar 

This provision renders an individual inadmissible, if he or she has been unlawfully present in the United States for an aggregate period of more than one (1) year, and who enters or attempts to reenter the United States without being admitted. 

An alien, who is inadmissible under section 212(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) of the Act is permanently inadmissible; however, after having been outside the United States for at least ten (10) years, he or she may seek consent to reapply for admission pursuant to section 212(a)(9)(C)(ii) of the Act and 8 CFR 212.2 . A waiver is also available for certain Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitioners under section 212(a)(9)(C)(iii) of the Act.
 

The 10-year absence requirement does not apply to a VAWA self-petitioner who is seeking a waiver under section 212(a)(9)(C)(iii) of the Act, rather than seeking consent to reapply under section 212(a)(9)(C)(ii) of the Act.

Thanks Sandra, we do have an attorney, I just want to double check, if anybody had success in overcoming 9C using VAWA. She is very scared that they will deport her and she has to leave her 4 kids here in the USA.
