How long have you been married? Did you try filing i130,485 or any other petition before now?

For 6 months. I filed 485 with EAD and AP. 485 is still pending and no interview requested yet.

Hi Sandra and everyone!

This is a question in regards to police clearance. Does VAWA law specifically require a 'statewide police clearance" or a city/county-wide police clearance? Will one get rfe if he didn't submit a statewide clearance? how about foreign police clearances that have expiry dates? will one be required to submit another one when the case is adjudicated since the one submitted will most likely be expired at the time of adjudication?

You must submit a police clearance from all counties you  lived in the U.S.

 

If the foreign police clearance expired then  they will  issue  an RFE asking  a new one.

Hi guys, my husband went into my email and found out I was gathering VAWA documents. He deleted proof of residence and the affidavit of support. He is also making threats to dirt me so now I know I have to file even though I've been on the fence. I don't have the NOA2 since he was hiding all these documents . I just the NOA1 what can I use instead to prove status?

Yes you  can use NOA1.Explain why  you could  not submit  proof of his status  and ask Uscis to search  in their data base.

 

You should  leave  your husband, find a shelter  for victims  of domestic  violence.

They requested this foreign police clearance for my two countries for K1 visa interview and they took it at the border do I still need to resubmit this. Or just say it was requested previously and I don't have it anymore

I would advise you start gathering evidence again.  Proof of residence with your abuser and/or tax returns filed together, joint accounts e.t.c are some important documents to have. You will need to prove that you entered the marriage in good faith and are of good moral character.  All the requirements are listed in the following link.

I sent the I-765 application for EAD renewal on 1/5 and received the receipt notice today. This was a lot faster than I expected.
