Hi Strife

I don't think you can do much based on an assumption that he "will pull out his affidavit" since he may still leave it pending, you will know if your AOS is denied.

You may file a self petition under VAWA if you are a victim of abuse.

If you file VAWA, request to hold your I-1485 until a decision is made about your petition OR if your spouse actually withdraws his petition then you file a new one.

Thanks for the reply Gramercy! Yes, I am a victim of abuse and I'm to file for VAWA. My husband called me to tell that he will be cancelling my current AOS petition. My interview is scheduled for next month. Now the issue here is that he wants to see me suffer, so he may file false claims that I married him for GC. How do I get him punished for telling USCIS lies?

1- He just threatened you, you don't know if he actually made those claims or reported you

2- I know many spouses withdraw their petitions  & make allegations, I never heard of anyone get punished, so I really don't know!

How come you suffered abuse, but your goal is to punish him for uncertain claims that aren't officially made yet?

 

I think freeing yourself from the abusive relationship should be your priority & can only advise you to focus on your own petition and file VAWA asap & include proof that your marriage was entered in good faith.

Strife  your husband can say what he wants,you  need to contest the  divorce if he files based in fraud,that is

 

Uscis will not punish him at all. Focus in your VAWA petition  and start reading about the Vawa Law.

Hi everyone,

I filed i360 and submitted it on March 31 2017 through a charity lawyer. I haven't heard from her since then, still waiting for news on my receipt number. Did you receive the receipt and how is your progress?

They usually issue receipts 2-3 weeks after submission. Sometimes it takes up to a month, you are almost one month since submission. You may want to check in with the charity lawyer to see if she received it yet

Hi guys, 

I have a question. I went out of country in December 2016 with advance parole under the I-485 my ex-husband petitioned for me. After 1 week I came back and the border officer asked for me passport and let me in on the b1 visa I had. I forgot to give him the advance parole nor did he ask for it. Does this fall under inadmissible entry? 

Thank you 

I once travelled with a B2 when my i485 was pending and it was denied. If they find out that you used your b2 to enter instead of your AP, your i485 may or will be denied. It doesn't fall under inadmissibility because immediately the officer denied my application, she told me to reapply as soon as possible. Once you travel without AP or you don't present your AP to customs and you have a pending i485, it is considered that you abandoned your application

Thank you, I wrote her an email and left a voicemail. I'm so anxious.

Don't worry, while notices typically come within a month but a couple of people here who filed in 2017 experienced some delays, one got her NOA after 50+ days.

What is the right address to file I 360 with i 485. My lawyer filed it to Chicago location  which i don't believe it is the right location. it should be Vermont right ?
