Not everyone receives prima facie automatically. Depends on the IO looking at the case. But you can request it if you don’t get it. 

You can apply for certain public benefits and FAFSA with it. 

It does not mean your VAWA will get approved/denied when you receive it/don’t receive it. 

Thanks for reply, you guys are best

Yes, the website does not work properly this morning.

1. Usually a few weeks after the receipt notice

2. Prima Facie may be used to assist you in receiving public benefits if needed

thanks for reply, and confirming, if i dont need any benefits, so dont even bother to ask for right

Yes. I have not used mine and do not plan on using it. I didn’t renew but they sent me automatic renewal and I still am not using it.

Better have a VAWA expert/attorney help you writing affidavits, or have @sandranj  review it. 

 

If you want to DIY, tell the truth, in details in your own words. You may refer to the sample at the end of the following document:

Remember to sign and notarize your affidavits.

Hi guys, I've been a lurker...never posted but I figured I could reach out. I first arrived in US in 2010, for undergrad, left in 2014 for work overseas and returned 2015 for grad school. Met my wife in 2015, got married April 2017. My dear wife has turned out to be a nightmare. Started off with revelation that she we couldn't open a bank account together because of some previous credit issues. Ever since she noticed that I found out, she became a different person - threats, calls me at work incessantly, looks through my texts and email, refuses to honor her chores, asks for money that ends up being used on alcohol...bills have been left unpaid and I have had to take care of all that. Now that my OPT is over, my wife has been threatening to call USCIS on me. She's worked as a contractor before for USCIS so I'm super scared. Even worse she started hitting me this summer - a nose bleed from a punch with a lock in her hand, smashed my computer against me, poured hot food on me in an argument. Since she was in possession of all our documents (she was "in charge" of the AOS process), she even tore up my birth certificate after an argument. What do I do? Thing is, I'm a man. I haven't reported her (I'm embarrassed) and I haven't been to hospital. How do I, as a man, walk into a shelter?? I've been thinking of VAWA ever since she made me do ridiculous sex acts for assurance that she'll file for AOS but then went back on her word. It's gone too far. 

 

Here's what I have:

- Marriage Certificate

- Pictures

- Lease

- Pictures of injury (from roommate)

- Affidavit

- Clean background checks from two states

- CRUCIALLY, I don't have her proof of USC since she had all the docs. I only have her SSN from her previous tax returns.

 

Do I have a case? If so, how can I make it stronger, please? How do I overcome not having a medical/police report? I'm worried.

You have a case, file a restraining order against her and that will also serve as proof of abuse together with other things you have. Try as much as possible to protect yourself from further abuse.

Thank you so much - I'm working on that right now.

I filed for AP mid-June (5 months ago) and still have not heard back. Any AP approvals from June or later recently? Should I inquire or wait?
