Good morning all,

 

Today I received the best news I have ever had in a long time. My application was approved!!! I filed VAWA in May 2016. On March 13th, the congressman office contacted me and said USCIS has made a decision on my case, but they did not tell exactly what the decision was. I waited and kept on checking the case status everyday but nothing changed. I was stressful, worried, and depressed. I cried and could not sleep at night. So I made an infopass for today. The officer told me that my case was approved on March 8th. He also advised me to do a FOIA to request for the approval notice. 

I hope this gives other members hope and keep praying to God. He is listening to you.

Did you receive an RFE at any point of your application?

Amaya I can review your affidavit. If you suffered just mental abuse do you have a psychological evaluation?

[prayandbelieve 27]

@miloy001 Yeah its still RFE received. I don't know why

[Adella2016 20]

hello guys, I want to ask you- how had an experience to contact to a congressman about your case? I am going to do this week. My attorney doesn't answer me, I think I have to do it by my own. 

DO I have to call there? Or I have to write in an email and they send me forms? How does it work? How long does it take? 

What I have to say to a congressman?

I actually had my first appointment today and she told me that I might have depression and anxiety after everything that happened as a result of a traumatic family experience

Any advice how to ask the physiologist for a report and how after how many sessions is prudent to ask? I'm sorry for if is a dumb question :/

Hello everyone

I really need a useful straight to the point answer for this question:

Has anyone here filed form I-131 separately with 912 fee waiver and got approved?  please guide me through this.

 

Additional info:

1. I have a pending (I-485 & I-360 with fees waived)
2. I sent my I-131 separately for humanitarian reason (to visit a sick parent) I sent it by itself with the cover letter and supporting documents as I thought if I have a i485 pending I don't need to pay fees or request waivers
3. My form was rejected and sent back to me  because I didn't include a fee which I can't afford yet so I'd like to know if it's likely to be approved with a 912.

I would use my Senator.  They each have their own website and there should be a section on immigration.  You will have to print the permission forms and fax them.

You can call the congress person office and they will send you a form that you have to sign authorizing USCIS to disclose your VAWA with him/her. I suggest that you contact your  Congress Person not the Senator.

What happens when someone works with an expired EAD. Does immigration/uscis ever find out? Just wondering

If it's discovered it will jeopardize their AOS, you should request renewal 2-3 months before expiration
