Hi guys,

 

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I submitted the I-360 form, I received my first Prima Facie, and then I send the form I-765 and I-131 forms to renew my EAD card that is currently expired. USCIS replied back saying that I should send the checks to pay for this EAD renewal. Also, I heard from some lawyers that this EAD card should be for free.

 

I'm very confused about this process. I have one expired EAD card under C9 category, should I send to renew under C9 category or under C31?

One lawyer said C31 and other lawyer said C9 - Now I'm lost! Vermont sent me back all my paper work requiring payment. 

Sorry to hear that. Here is my take based on what I filed. 

First, you should be filing under c9 If the abuser is a USC for you to receive a work permit while you are waiting for approval otherwise if you file c31 then work permit will not issue until approval of VAWA. 

Second, when you submit your 765 you should include receipt of i360 and if you have prima facie that as well. Include receipt of your pending form 465( adjustment of status) because you must have a pending adjustment to file work permit.Include form 864w (waiver for sponsorship I believe) and 912 ( and fee waiver). All of that plus copy of your unexpired card, passport etc. pls

read instructions on form 765 to know what to include. And make sure that you used the current form on the website.

I agree...to renew c9 is free and c31 is not free unless you are renewing it. I had applied c31 and I paid all the fee, then I sent to renew c9 and it was free. I withdrew c31 coz it wouldn’t be approved until vawa is approved. So I lost all the money. I came to find out a lot of lawyers don’t know about this vawa thing.

Please how did you go about withdrawing the c31 application?

No. I’m still waiting my approval letter. 

At the interview the IO said it was approved, but since then, I did not receive nothing. 

It’s weird, especially because it was in January 2018, and 4 months later...nothing!! 

I’m so sad and anxious.

 

Sandra if you see this, can you let me know if it’s normal or not? 

I already did an infopass and they said it was in reviewing. I called many times too.

I think its taking a longer period of time. I had mine in March. So u are still within the normal processing time. Don't fuss. If u are able to work and u got a job, just enjoy urself coz remember back before VAWA approval u couldn't work. I am taking my time and enjoying my professional job and environment. When GC comes I will collect it but before then...live life

I sent a letter to expedite c9 and withdraw c31. They withdrew c31 but am still waiting for c9. It’s amazing they chose to ignore one part of the letter and respond to last sentence of it. It’s been over 4 months waiting.😭

What should I put in question 19 of form I765. “Current Inmigration status” I have 485 pending and filed VAWA may 2017. I’m renewing under C9. The I765 were may EAS was granted was filled by a lawyer that was representing my ex husband and I so I don’t know what he answered there. Thanks in advance for the help.

I know of 2 people on the East Coast that didn't receive their green card. One filed for citizenship and is now a citizen. The other is just waiting.

Write “adjustment of status pending” as your status if you have no legal status

Hello Sandra, should I do the same to make sure they change my address or how should I do it, am afraid that even when I do the change of address online they will still send RFE's or anything to the advocacy agency 

thank you and god bless you for all your help.

 

YOU CANNOT CHANGE ADDRESS ONLINE.It must be a NOTARIZED LETTER regarding form I-360 self-petition and another letter regarding form I-485. Wait 10  days and go to infopass to inquire if they changed or not your address.

I submitted first time while filing judgement decree in english but forgot to send in my lang then wen rfe issued i sent the original divorce decree copy which was combined in eng and regional lang so they denied saying that the translated copy of decree was not sent so now my ex is sending the copy of original and translated from court . Can i refile again as my son was derivative on my petition meanwhile he turned 18 so i just sent aos for him so he himself also had to file as a self petitioner.. pls answer you are the only hope now
