I need advice applying for citizenship, my greencard was based off VAWA. My greencard validity starts Jan 21, 2016 , according to the rules applied for VAWA, I can apply within 3 years of residency... When should I start the application? What other documents would I need to submit along with N-400 form? The instructions for N-400 does not include the self petitioner like me, I want to make sure I am doing it right...

 

Note: I am also getting married this october.. my legal name will be changed. Should I apply my citizenship based on my marriage or should I apply based on VAWA?

JJ, I wished I had the news you now have. lol. Since my VAWA was approved I haven't heard anything. I got an alert that they touched my case which I assumed was the i485 but when I go online nothing. I requested a status update online, nothing. I did an infopass today to try to get an update had an experience that reminded me that I really hope to conclude this journey soon. The officer was snobby and had this look of disdain. He just took me ID and receipt and went to another room, (didn't check it on the pc at his desk) then came back and said case is still pending any further information we can only give to your attorney because your application is now based on VAWA and your attorney had asked that the i485 be held while the i360 is adjudicated. 

My wava was approved in May. its been over 4 months and so far no approval letter. Went for a infopass, officer said that the letter would be arriving within a month. So far no letter and no news.

Hello everyone!
Can someone please tell me what is the "Travel Document Number"? which is asked on I-360.
"Travel Document Number" is the number of the Tourist Visa?
Thanks for your help!

I left it blank and it was accepted. I only provided the I-94 and passport number.

Hey  Guys

 

My Lawyer sent EAD Renewal to NBC not Vermont, I got the receipt already and also a letter that they will used my Old fingerprint to process.... I am so Upset (-__-)  right now.  She said my i485 still pending and i have not yet have my initial interview to put my i485 on hold. even thought I already have i360 receipt and prima facie letter,

My field office is NYC and is taking 12-16 months just to get an AOS interview, i Filed i485 on 10/5/17 no interview notice yet. I file i360 on 06/4/18 Receipt on 7/5/18 

 

Does NBC rerouted to Vermont or do I need to file a new EAD renewal to VERMONT please advise me. ??

I’m sure if someone has replied already, but O suggest you renew instead of applying for a NEW EAD cos’ it seems faster especially if they use your old biometric.

Hi Guys, 

My interview is this coming Tuesday at 8am. In my letter, I was asked to take along two ADIT style photos (only if not previously submitted). I still went and got them taken.

Did anyone get the same request in their interview letter?

 

I was also asked to take documentation proving employment, length of tenure and hours worked each week. 

 

Other documents l requested:

•I-94

•Passport (if your passport is in your maiden name, please take your divorce decree and marriage certificate).

•Medical exam  (if not previously submitted. Still attend interview if you haven’t gotten it done.) 

I did mine early 2017, so I got another done, just in case they say it has expired. 

 

Also, is there anyone who just had an interview? How did it go? Did you attend with or without a lawyer? Did they ask about the abuse?

 

I am doing my best to be positive, but I can’t help feeling a bit nervous. Please keep me in your prayers.

Why are they asking about documents proving employment?

I understood that Vawa forgave illegal entry, I do not understand why they are asking for I-94.
Could someone with more experience explain why they are asking for I-94?
Thank you.........
