Do anyone has a phycatric they can recommends and how many sessions could be recommended? I'm in Dallas Tx. Pls share with a sister here... thank you.

I don’t recomend you to see a psychiatrist, they don’t provide a good evaluation,usually their evaluations have 2/3 pages.Find a psychologist or a counselor with experience in domestic violence cases

Hi All,

 

I hope you're doing great despite the long waits of our cases... Just have a question regarding Driver's License with Prima Facie. Prima Facie has expired in Sept 2018. Then my driver's license is expiring on Jan 29 2019. Will I be able to renew it just using the Prima Facie valid for 180 days?

I got my primafacie the same day I got my receipt, 08/10. I never renewed it cos I had a work permit and kept working. So didn’t need it.

so for lease - he never had his name on the lease cos when I tried to add him my apartment rejected him but they gave me a letter saying why they did (he had a criminal record which he never told me about, so imagine my surprise). Anyway, I sent the lease application I filled out and the letter my apartment wrote to inform me why they wouldn’t add him.

- phone bill

- car insurance

- life insurance

- we never had a joint bank account cos I tried to add him and my bank rejected him

- joint tax returns

- personal affidavit 

- affidavit from my friends who witnessed him verbally abusing me

- psychological report from my therapy sessions

Hi all,

Can someone please help me better understand the following:
One month after filing my I-360 I received a request for initial evidence (RFE) of good moral character, in that RFE USCIS did not specify a maximum time to respond to your request for initial evidence, but being cautious, I responded to that request 83 days later (September 10), I believe that the maximum time to respond is 84 days.
In response to the RFE sent were sent 3 police reports (Police Clearance), also other new evidence of marriage in good faith and new evidence of abuse.
 

One month after answering the RFE I received the Prima Facie and in the status of my online case it said:
"On September 25, 2018 we received your response to our Request for Evidence for your Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow (er), or Special Immigrant, Receipt Number xxxxxxxxxx. Our office will begin working on your case again. We will mail you a decision or notify you if we need something from you.

After I received the Prima Facie I noticed that one of the police reports (Police Clearance) had my name wrongly written and I proceeded to send it back corrected, I also took the opportunity to send other documents such as the copy of my passport that had not been sent. My lawyer sent the documentation with a letter explaining everything very carefully and attached a copy of my Prima Facie.

Today I received two messages on the status of my online case:
1. "On November 21, 2018, we received your response to our Request for Evidence for your Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow (er), or Special Immigrant, Receipt Number xxxxxxxxxxxx. Our office will begin working on your case again. We will mail you a decision or notify you if we need something from you. "
2. "On November 21, 2018, we received your correspondence for Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow (er), or Special Immigrant, Receipt Number xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. We are reviewing your correspondence, and will mail you to notice if we need something from you. "
 

My question is this:
Why does the online status of my case in one of the two messages I received today say that on November 21 USCIS received my response to your RFE request, when I had responded to that request for initial evidence in September? I was only forwarding one of the police reports (corrected) that I had previously sent.

Thank you very much for your comments….

There is a lot that they never reveal about themselves. I have known (or thought I knew him) my abuser for 16 years, married and have 2 children together, yet so many things started to unravel as time went by, emotional, physical, psychological, sexual, verbal abuse, you name it, been through it with him. So many things I uncovered during the discovery process of our divorce was just unimaginable, the things a controlling person can hide just to be cruel and maintain control over another person. He still asks his family members to snoop on me, find out what I'm up to, so I avoid all of them completely, except one who has stood by me and our children through it all, the person wrote a very detailed affidavit of what they saw him do to me right there in their presence on numerous occasions. No matter what they try to hide, the truth will surface eventually.

@sandra, @iwillsurvive and others, Today I received my vawa approval notice and another notice for deferred action (valid for 15months). On the approval notice, they wrote

 

"Notice type: Approval notice"

"Section: self-petitioning spouse of USC or L.P.R"

 

"Class:1B1"

 

"Priority date" my receipt date(April 25 2017) spouse is a USC.

I am confused why the class says 1B1, anybody with similar experience or it's an error? Also, does the priority date means I will be called earlier for my AOS interview?

@Ilo Congratulations on your approval letter!

I just looked up that code that you were inquiring about, from other people's posts that I found on google, it seems to be an error code. I found a post on VJ from last year talking about that, here is the link: here's the article I saw on the thread, http://www.natlawreview.com/article/technical-error-uscis-results-h-1b-approval-notices-incorrectly-listing-class-1b1

Class for VAWA is always IB1.

Ok, I have been able to get some approved pdf samples online, they all have same class as 1B1, I am relieved 😀

Once again, just keep in mind that USCIS is not good about online updates. Don’t worry about it. Just relax and be patient.

Hello.

I'm not sure if this would be the right place to ask this question but here we go.

 

Last year I was able to successfully remove my conditions based on an abuse waiver, and I received a 10 yr green card. This year I decided to apply for naturalization based on the 3 year rule under the conditions on having been married to an US citizen and having received the abuse waiver when I ROC. When I called USCIS the other day to inquire about the status of my case, they said they could not provide me information on my case because it was 'sensitive' and if I needed information, I should submit a letter to the VSC-VAWA unit. I was very surprised I would have to contact VSC. My understanding is that naturalization applications are transferred to the local offices. My ROC was granted in my local office too. What does this mean?

 

I appreciate any input if anyone knows. 

Thanks
