Congratulations to al the approvals!!! I am a January 2017 filer so I hope I hear something soon. They received my GMC RFE on 5/31/2018. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying a lot. Anxiety hits me that it could be denied but I'm trying to stay positive.

 

 

I have only submitted my I360, no PF only GMC RFE.

 

God bless us all!

You will hear soon! Start preparing your I-485 paperwork, so you are ready to get that process going if you haven’t already

Hey everyone.  I'm new to this forum.  

I'm gathering my information and documents to file Vawa. This forum has HELPED ME SO MUCH. I've been reading many post and have an idea of what I need to file.

 

I do have a question,  I entered the country without inspection .  I basically came here illegally. Will that effect  my case ? Do i have to file a certain petition algond with the I 360 because of it?

No, VAWA is very forgiving because USCIS knows that a lot of time this is caused because of the abuse because many abusers use immigration as a way to control their victim spouses.

@MariFD Not with Vawa, but when you do your i-485 Adjustment of Status, you might need to submit a waiver for it.  I highly suggest you do your AOS with an attorney who has experience with waivers.

I read that if you vawa gets approved or before and you submit the i-485 you have to submit the I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility. They have special instructions for vawa candidates in the uscis instructions. Like someone said before, its better if you get a lawyer for that.

Hello guys, I filed my vawa petition last month and my priority date is May 18, 2018. I just got a prima facie mail from USCIS dated June 26, 2018. Does a prima facie mean that I am not likely to receive a RFE?

[gramercy 141]

@Kersac The Prima Facie letter is good news m it's  to simply let you know "you have a case that will be reviewed and in the meantime use this  letter for public benefits if needed" 

 

RFEs may still come up, some people receive before getting approved. Hopefully you will not get one.

Vawa will forgive, but she will be denied I-485.  You still have to have legal presence.  That is different than an overstay of a visa.  This is where a lawyer is needed.

Hello everybody! If somebody already  had an interview of I-485 (based on VAwA) how long after was your green card approved? Please share your experiences! Thanks

@sandranj  Hi Sandra, 

Do you have any idea why USCIS is sending EAD C31 before vawa approval letter?

Thank you

 

They do not send the EAD category  C31 before VAWA approval, many people had the  I-360 approved and they did not know about the approval until the  AOS interview date.

Thank You! 

I have received a EAD C31 two weeks ago and so far no approval notice. 

There was a update on my I360 about a card being produced.  Week later the C31 arrived!

 

Thank you for your time.

I have a question, does anyone who send the form i-765 c9 did you guys send it to vermont or the dallas and phoenix one? I’m confused on that.
