Hi Guys, does anyone know if a VAWA applicant, will still need to go to an interview, even if he/she had already attended one with their abusive spouse? As in will I still be required to do an interview?

Go to Infopass. This is too long and outside of processing times. Could have gotten lost in the mail even. You can have your congress person inquire at VSC directly.

Hi @sandranj I hope you’re doing well. Do you have any experience regarding the situation I mentioned in the comment above? Would I be scheduled for another interview?

Sandra, one of your responses said - "We had several people in removal proceddings before.In case your VAWA is approved you must ask to terminate the removal otherwise USCIS has no juridisction and they will deny your AOS. It's advised to contact USCIS counsel after VAWA approval to ask him to sign jointly the petition to terminate the removal proceeding".

In my approval letter it says Initial Grant of Deferred action - valid for 15 months.

Do I still need to ask to terminate the removal?

Peanutbutterq8 you said on the VAWA thread 9 

 

They held my 485 til the decision of my VAWA. My ead will expire on 5.2018 and my lawyer wanted me to file new 485 even if in the approval letter it says I have pending I 485 and wait for further notice.

 

Do not file a new I-485, there is no need for him to refile again, he/she should read sometimes about immigration to learn the basics of VAWA Law.
