If he is violating the restraining order, inform the police. He can be arrested for violating his restraining order. He wants you to be scared. Don’t give in to him any longer. Don’t let him know your whereabouts and block his phone number and social media. File for divorce immediately. If you file, you hold the cards as he can’t prevent the divorce from happening, he can only prolong it worst case. 

Contact your congressman or ombudsman to inquire on your behalf. 2015 is a very long time.

Hello all,

Please advise.I am in a complicated situation.

I applied for I 751 waiver (abuse). Divorce is in process.
I believe I have a case with all proofs like, TRO, photos of injuries, stitches, abusive emails from my spouse, Phy evaluation, proof of medication etc.

Honestly, I and my spouse loved each other, but things changed after marriage.

Now, we are almost at the end of divorce process, my spouse keep calling me everyday to cancel the divorce.
She keeps crying and convinced me that she realized her mistakes, she has changed after we separated.
She do not want to miss me etc. She literally came to my work place and begging me to come back.

I do not know what to do. Obviously, my therapist friends and family do not want me to get back.
But, I want to give a second chance. 

 

What should I do with my I 751? she is saying to file a joint application now (I am 2 months away from LPR expiration)
Can I ask my atty to cancel existing waiver and can I apply a new Joint I 751 on my own?

Or can I ask my atty to convert the existing waiver one into joint application?

As It is a VAWA, only my atty can place a request to USCIS, I cannot do on my own.

(I really dont want to take help of my atty, he did nothing for my waiver app, just submitted whatever I gave and changed me 5K)

 

Sandra, please help with your advise.

You will get your 797 noa after 2 weeks stating that if you filed renewal on the basis of c09 then its an automatic extension for 180 days. By the time if you move or change your address let them know . You can also show this letter to your employer or dmv i will be going for license renewal tom..correct me Sandranj if wrong.

Thank you. I’m worried because it’s been 3 weeks already since they received it and I didn’t get anything..

I would always at least give them 4 weeks to send out notices, especially during this time of year.

Take all the documents you submitted for VAWA with you just in case. But, if your VAWA is approved, they won't ask for any of them. But take them just in case. It is better to be prepared. If there are any new developments since you submitted I-360, take documents related to that - for instance: divorce decree, any change in visa status, etc. They will ask you questions on your I-485. They should not be asking you any I-360 or abuse related questions unless there is something really suspicious in your case. Don't worry - it's an easy and straightforward process. My interview was less than 10 min.

If he's violating a restraining order, call the police immediately. Don't endanger yourself by maintaining contact with him. Don't believe his bull - he's just trying to intimidate you and the more you buy into it, the more he will do this kind of psychological abuse. Even if he reports you to the USCIS, you won't be deported if you divorce him if you have a VAWA pending. The only way in which that will happen is if your VAWA is denied and you are not currently under another visa such as F-1 or H-1. Also he is not the one who decides if you must pay him alimony or not - that is up to the court when you file for divorce and is based on your income and his, how long you've been married and a variety of other things. He's just trying to scare you into not filing for divorce. Block his number, call the police and report that he is in violation of the restraining order, and file for divorce immediately.

Contact your  congressperson, and the USCIS  onbudsman as well.

 

He can say what he wants,who will decide the divorce is a judge not him,do not sweat  with the divorce  case.
