HI Sandranj

But i did not have every proof. I only have my baby's birth certificate,it has his name on it ..pls help..thank you!

There is nothing that sandra can do for you.

To be eligible to file VAWA you need to meet the requirements. One of the requirements is having actually lived with your spouse and submitting proof of such. You did not reside together so you are ineligible to file VAWA. There is nothing anyone can do to change the facts - you do not meet the requirements needed to be able to file for VAWA. Sorry. :(

Baby certificate is not a proof of joint residence, it can only support proof of bonafide marriage ,you should be able to prove you resided with your spouse after the marriage for your case to be accepted or approved, from your story, sounds like you did not even spent a day together in the same house.

Wow! I never got Prima Face, it just went from 5/25/2018 to Card Mailed to Me on 10/29/2018 (i-765 c31 Work Permit valid for 1 year)

Now my lawayer has an infopass for my case on 11/29/2018, I want to be done...

i started all in June 2014 with my I-130 and W601A which both were approved, unfortunately I had to leave my ex-husband I got exhausted of his threats to call ICE on me and to call to stop the process besides all his cruelty due to his abused. I never made it to the interview last May 2017 because I filed VAWA on 5/25/2017.

May I ask you,

How do I make a Senatir’s inquiry?

What is the 912 application? I did all the rest together except 912... now I am processing my I-130 Travel Permit.

Thank you for responding my message.

Best in your new journey! 🍀🎉🇺🇸

Hello Everyone, 
 
I-693 Experience
I went to an amazing doctor in Brooklyn who instructed me to get some tests and documentation with my primary doctor. I did all that and went back & provided him with all the records of my bloodwork/vaccination.He processed my form very fast and gave me a thorough exam and went over the form with me, it cost $200 (two visits cuz i had to do a blood test for TB according to the new USCIS rule)
If anyone needs his contact info in NYC let me know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interview Experience:
 
My appointment was 7:30am but I waited almost 3 hours, so my attorney had to leave me to make it to a court hearing.
I went in by myself, after taking oath to be truthful, I signed a waiver to proceed without my representative and both index fingers were scanned for fingerprint verification.
 
The interview was brief and very straightforward, the officer was serious and professional but nice.
 
The questions were simple from the I-485 form and my biographical information
How many entries to the US?
How many Marriages?
How many children?
Has anyone filed for immigration benefits on your behalf such as a family member or employer?
What was your occupation in your country? Explain please.
What is your current occupation?
 
Then the officer talked to me a little bit about my field of work while examining my documents and typing on the computer then asked me if I had any pay stubs.. I provided an employment verification letter and my tax returns and W2, however I explained that I resigned and I am just currently between jobs.
 
The officer asked if I have any additional documents I would like to submit, I said no that was all.
 
Documents requested:
1- Medical clearance form I-693   (officer kept on file)    
2- Work documentation: tax returns, W2, and employment verification letter (officer kept on file)
3- Birth Certificate  -(returned to me)
4- Marriage Certificate  -(returned to me)
5- Passports (old one with entry stamp and current Valid passport)   (returned to me)
 
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
After 6 months preparation with my attorney and waiting to file then almost another 24 months waiting for USCIS to adjust my status, I must say I feel drained and also relieved.
Stay strong everyone.
I am thankful for this forum that I have joined since VAWA Part 7 and after feeling isolated for so long it helped me realize I am not alone in this journey.
 
I shall post my timeline soon, best of luck to all.

Congratulation Dear

I will need the Doctor address to get ready for the medical in case my interview schedule.

Dr. Ramez Suleiman   408 77th St #A3 , Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY 11209    Phone number (718) 238-2456

 

Call before you go his assistant is great too she will go over what is required, and if you email them any documents they will have the form filled and ready when you arrive for the exam. most doctors take only cash payment for this so just have the $200 fee and vaccination record on hand.

Did you mean your i-485 was expedited? I didn't know that was possible!

Well It wasn't significantly expedited!! 

I mean my process still took two years anyway, BUT after transfer to the NBC the i-485  was just stuck 3 months without any updates, so it could have been way longer to get scheduled for an interview in my field office.  

 

Due to a family medical emergency i was on "standby" mode to travel, but i needed to know where I stand, so I submitted a request with supporting medical documents and  the senator inquired about my request when USCIS responded they also and updated my case! (In line for an interview) and the senator's office told me they would inquire again in 60 days if there was no progress.
