I haven’t received it yet. Probably was sent to my lawyer even though I sent request for address change. I texted my lawyer to ask but he hasn’t responded. 

Sorry about that. Is that your first rfe?

Hi Viva 

Did you receive your RFE if yes what was it?

Thanks

Hmmm, that is usually not normal but it is possible they have just proceeded to review your case for approval. But It’s better to call them, make enquiries just to see what is happening.

thank's for reply

I'm coming up to a year later this month. I didn't get a prima facie. Not everyone does. People still get approved without one and people can get denied after being issued one. It doesn't mean anything.

thank, I feel little better

Not everybody receives Prima Facie but it has nothing to do with whether you will be approved or not. You can request PF if you need it for public benefits and they will send it to you. 

you are my 2nd feel better reply, thank you so much

@asimove Calling is a waste of time, you cannot get any information over the phone for anything related to VAWA due to strict privacy policies.  To make enquiries you have to write to them, do an e-request if the case is outside of processing timeframe, or contact your state senator to begin enquiring on your behalf.

I asked my Lawyer to contact them, also send them a written request along with expediting my 360 ( Lawyer told me expediting will not be possible ), I advise him, do it anyway, they send my both request today, now see how they will react!

I-360 cannot be expedited, only I-485 or EAD/AP.

Hello everyone.

 

I applied for VAWA in 2016 and was denied a year later in January 2017. I did not receive any deportation letter and i'm not in deportation proceeding due to my current visa status.

At the time, I hired an inefficient attorney that had his workers quitting on him reason, stuff getting mixed up and even when I was denied, I wasn't notified of the denial until after the 30 days passed so I didn't have enough time to gather additional documents to appeal the denial. Some documents were not included in my package like tax transcripts, enough photos, etc. He didn't even provide feedback on my declaration.

 

I didn't re-apply immediately because I was pretty much damaged and depressed as a person the whole time and was also seeing a psychotherapist. Can I re-apply a second time though its been over 2 years we've been together or last saw each other? Has anyone reapplied with more evidence after a denial and got their VAWA approved?

I am not 100% sure, but I think you can still file a motion to reopen/ reconsider your case after the 30 days have passed to file a motion to appeal but it depends on WHY you were denied.  If it was for lack of evidence, then I believe you can reopen. I know that to file Vawa it has to be within 2 years of divorcing your abuser,  I am not sure however if this applies to a second time filing. 

 

I think the best thing you can do is seek out a GOOD attorney to help you this time.  There had to have been RFE's before your denial, did you not get any request for evidence before they decided to deny?

Why was it denied?  Could you share what have you sent them?

But your lawyer didn't tell what type of RFE?
