VAWA, Part 10

[God Bless 0]

Dear 

@sandranj and everyone with experience please enlighten me 🙏

 

Received biometrics appointment for I-485, while I am preparing RFE for my I-360 and EAD extension hasn’t arrived after 6 months of submitting. It is normal to receive I-485 biometrics so early?? I’m so confused.

Hello everyone,

I have learned that some people in the state of Florida can get a driver's license with the Prima Facie. I understand that a Prima Facie does not grant a legal status, I have also known of people who when they put a ticket to transit are sometimes deported for not having a legal status, which is why I ask myself the following:

1. Differences between a normal license and one obtained with Prima Facie?
2. Has someone with a license under Prima Facie been able to pay a transit ticket without problem?
3. What are the restrictions on a driver's license under the condition of Prima Facie?
4. How long do they issue the validity of the license?
5. Is it a paper or a plastic that is obtained?
6. What is the cost to obtain it?

Thanks for your help!!!

I live in the state of Florida and I got a temporary Driver License, for 60 days but the expiration date is the same as the Prima facie letter, the temporary DL was only a piece of paper, then after 3 months they sent me by mail the regular plastic card (expiring on prima facie date expiration)

I went to the DMV with my Prima facie letter, marriage certificate and an old DL if you do not have DL take your country passport. In case the DMV agent don't have a clue (most of them) ask to speak with the manager and show them the law print Page 16 of the following link that's what I did.

I don’t think your information is correct. You can obtain a driver’s license with an EAD or expired EAD and I-765 renewal notice. 

All driver’s licenses are the same no matter how you obtain it. The only difference is that the expiration date will be the date your EAD/EAD renewal notice expires. 

 

Prima Facie is only a piece of paper that can be used to obtain public benefits but not an official ID.

If you don't live in the state of Florida and you don't know the answer please don't talk! you are giving your personal opinion and what matter is what the law says.

 

Here in FL  one of the requirements to obtain DL is 

* I-797 for an I-360 pending must state “Prima Facie Case” has been established.

I clearly understood that I was misinformed and obviously can’t delete a previous post.

 No need for you to be rude and attack me.

Hello and thank you all for commenting ...
My questions are due to the fact that people with Prima Facie DO NOT have a legal status:
1. Has anyone with a license under Prima Facie been able to pay a transit ticket without having any problems?
2. What are the restrictions on a driver's license under the condition of Prima Facie?
Thanks everyone for your help!!

just got update today that new card is being produce for my 2 sons but my account and my youngest is still showing fees were waived....is it normal that all accounts were not updated at once?

[JJ_1017 19]

If I filed I-360, i-485, and I-765

together in March 2017, and my I-360 was approved July 2018, does that become my priority date for AOS I-485? Or would my priority date still be March 2017 because that was my receipt date? 

 

Also for VAWA are we looking at the employment based AOS or Family based AOS? I’m just so confused. Thanks for all your answers.

 

Please help @sandranj

That happen to me too, whenever I filled I-485 with the I-765, I received the I-765 two weeks later stating I had an error and I had to resubmitted it again. It was a rejection notice. I resubmitted the application like three weeks ago, now my case has been received and accepted. It could be that it is delayed or possible rejected. Like mine said case received 07/09 and notice date 07/16 and I received in on the mail 07/21. For the rejection it was like receive 06/18 and rejection notice 06/27. However, for the I-485 my case was received on 06/18 and notice date 06/22 and it was in the mail by 06/25. Both didn't come together and I was also worried. Hope this helps !

Arrgggghh......you're so right!

I received the blue letter in the mail requesting an updated form i-765 because the one I used is expired. Lord knows I waited patiently and kept checking the website before submitting this form. Anyways, I used the right form and sent it out ASAP.  

Form I-765 is now almost 6 pages or so. No big deal.

The divorce doesn't need to be filed/granted based on domestic violence for a VAWA case,and it will not impact your case if filed based on irreconcilable differences.

Thank you very much @sandraj, I finally agreed to sign the documents for insoportability how ever he is filing a document or motion for annulment I think. And he is based on FRAUD. He is saying that our marriage was a fraud and wants an annulment. 

Im very worried about this. I know that it would affect my VAWA case correct? 

 

My lawyer will try to fight that tomorrow in court. Please send prayers my way everyone. ☹️

I really hope that the judge drops those annulment documents.

Your case was  to be denied which is the normal process, in this forum me included I went through that, but luckily I had an officer who told me that he is gonna deny my case but I should not leave the USA until my vawa is adjudicated, and unlike you I did not have the receipt of vawa yet, which he wanted to see before they put my i485 pending, so do not get worried at all

So you mean my 1485 is pending? Becouse on uscis online it says we denied your 131. Its not talking about 1485. But she told me my work authorisation will also be revoked
