Is it true that if you have pending i130, you can move the priority date over to i360 petition you file. Once you receive the receipt.

Yep ,but it’s applicable just if your spouse  is a green card holder.

I have a question I just applied for Vawa 4months ago ... almost after 2 years I decided to apply for Vawa but I’m know going back to my husband ... the question is will this affect me ? And also he wants to petition me on immigration i don’t know what to do ??? Please help 

Did your husband attend management class for at least 6months? Did he attend individual therapy?, if not then you are signing to be abused again. In case you reconcile and you are abused again you probably won’t be able to convince Uscis of the “new abuse”. Well you will be questioned about the abuse when you will attend the AOS interview and he will be questioned as well, the privacy law doesn’t extend to Vawa if the person withdraws the self petition.

I have been following this forum for awhile. I must say it's a very educative platform.Thanks to @sandraj and all VJ mem. My question might sound weird or absurd, but pls I want to be enlightened. I have been separated from my husband for 1year due to DV and he has undergone anger management classes court ordered and he seem to have realised his mistakes, he wants me back and I want to give him a second chance..Will going back to an abuser affects i485 interview? What happens if I don't get a divorce before i485 interview?

It will affect your l485 big time, and if you decide to reconcile after the l485 then it will probably affect your naturalization process.VAWA is to help victims to flee from abuse, and reconciling with your husband will not show that you fled for good from your abuser.

Good morning everyone! I had my I-485 interview this morning and I just wanted to share my experience.

 

My appointment was at 9:45am. I was seated in the lobby by 9:40 and had to wait a bit. I was called in at 10:30am.The interview had me swear to tell the truth then he took my picture and finger prints.

After that he asked me my name, address, and date of birth. He went down a few questions asking if I had any criminal history. He asked me if I have ever worked illegally and where(yes). He asked if I have claimed to be a US citizen or voted in a federal election(no). He asked me where I went to school, and where I work currently. He asked for my updated medical.

He told me he had 30days to make a decision but that he would probably make it sooner. He said he would review my file, and if they needed anything else he would send a notice otherwise he would send a notice with a decision. He said he could not tell me at this time what that decision would be. Honestly he was very nice, friendly and curteous.

 

I left the office at 10:45am. I drove home and had something to eat. At 12pm I got notification by email and text that my new card is being produced!!!!! Honestly I could not believe it!!!! After all this long wait and suffering God has done it as He has always done, this never-failing God.

I am so grateful to God for everyone on this forum, your help, encouragement, insight and friendship. May God bless you all and help you along on your journeys. I pray for better and safe relationships for all of us as we continue along and rebuild our lives.

Yes i know yours approved, so happy for you. I did contacted my congressman (brooklyn ny) in August, and after 2 weeks congressman’s office informed me that uscis told them, that signature on my privacy release form and i360 doesn’t match. Unbelievable, i have same signature all my life. At least i know that somewhere my forms still exist. I sent my ssc and expired permit to congressman’s office prove that i have same signature everywhere, and now still silence almost month.
