In your denial letter was you ever order to appear in front of a judge for proceedings? If yes did you attend? If not I think you’ll be fine as long as the denial wasn’t fraud related. 

No I didn't get any letter to appear to any court. And how would someone know it is fraud related as u said.

On my i485 decision it stated that my lawful nonimmigrant status had already expired that I am not authorized to remain here and I should make arrangements to depart soon as possible.

Your denial letter will explain why they denied your application. When my stepdad filed for me mine was denied because he married my mom after I turned 18 so I didn’t qualify as him immediate family. That was a couple years ago.

Mine stated that too and I never got any letter to appear in court either.

@sandranj and all - I applied for AOS based on approved VAWA by the end of Jan. Had my biometrics done in first week of March but my case hasn’t been transferred to the NBC yet. Others with the same timeline had th case transferred few weeks back. Is this normal?

Are you sure it hasn’t been transferred yet? USCIS is not good about updating the online status. Have you verified that is has not been transferred yet and they might have just not updated the system?

I just took a look at the status online. How can I verify? Is there anything I can do at this point or should I just wait?

They are not very good at updating the online status. I would give them 60 days and then make an InfoPass appointment at your local field office to inquire if they have received your application.

Hello Sandra and Friends, please I would like to ask a question. Last 2 years my 1st spouse filed i130 and i485 for me and it was denied, now I am filling vawa with my 2nd spouse. Pls would they go and review my old case that my 1st spouse filed for me. Thank you

Yes they will look at your previous petitions filed.  Why were u denied the first time?  Did you file documents with second husband?  How did u enter the US?  You need to get a lawyer.

It takes an average of 4 weeks. Some get it sooner some later. Mine took 6 weeks.

Hello folks, those who applied for Prima facie renewals, can you please give me an idea as to how long it took to get it in the mail? It's been almost 2 months since I turned mine in but haven't received a response back yet. TIA

I didn’t apply for PF extension but they automatically sent me a new one. The old one expired end of August and the new one came beginning of October. 

You can always make an InfoPass appointment to see if they can check if VSC already sent it out.

Are you serious ? I need my divorce I don't want to stay married to that monster and she insist to wait until it is approved....I need to go visit her because she joking big time ...

Some lawyers suggest to wait in case a person files  VAWA petition and it takes a long time then gets denied in the end.

• If you are still married or divorced within two years or less then you can re-apply for a new VAWA.
• If you got divorced before filing and it takes two years but doesn't get approved then a new VAWA is no longer an option.
• It's sometimes safer to wait just to keep this option open if ever needed, hopefully not.
