I have received a rfe to show the evidence of phycological abuse. I did not send in the phycological evaluation report initially. I have one now. In rfe they state that I need to send a letter from doctor with details. So is my evaluation good enough or do I have to send the details from each session. 

My phycologist was not aware how to make the evaluation so he reffered me  to other phycologist and attended 4 session with him.  But my primary phycologist I attended 14 session in last 1 year. 

So my question is do I send evaluation and the individual session report or the evaluation is enough. 

When did you apply for Vawa?

Hey @sandranj

This VAWA will be based on a self-petition as a battered/abused parent of a US Citizen who is 21 years old. 

Have you ever had a case like this? I've been trying to find any information on doing the petition.  My case will be based on Mental Abuse. 

I already saw a psychiatrist, and I started depression Medication. She refereed me to see a counselor and a friend told me of a place to go. I have to call and set up an appointment for the counselor. They are a domestic violence agency. 

 

Anyone who has any information? I would really appreciate it. 

 

Thanks! 

 

 

 

Yes I had some cases of abused parents of  U.S Citizens. An abused parent of a U.S. citizen is eligible to apply for VAWA . You have to prove that you  has or had a qualifying relationship to a U.S. citizen son or daughter.

I guess i will start gathering these proofs. Can i select my own psychologist?  Or do i get appointed to go see one?

 

You can choose your psychologist but attend at least 5 therapy sessions before having a psychological evaluation done.

What can i do if i do not have an original marriage certificate for a vawa petition? I have a photocopie of the original...but my husband has the original. He will not under any circumstances give it to me either. We were marriage in Europe....would be extremely hard to get another one, if i could even get one at all.

Please advice. Thank you

 

You can submit a copy of the marriage certificate now,but it's mandatory to show the original document when you will attend the  AOS interview. Contact the place where you got married and get a certified copy.

Hello sandranj Sandra, my husband filed for annulment under fruad, and I responded with divorce and the court hearing is coming soon, (I understand that I must get a divorce because annulment will effect the VAWA outcome). My question is what should I tell the judge if he asked me about my legal status without having to mention anything about VAWA?

Can you explain a little more on this subject? Who performs the psychological evaluation?

Did you file a Counterclaim?Just say that you have are adjusting your status with USCIS.If his attorney asks based on what you are adjusting your status  tell him that you do not have to disclose your immigration status in the family Court.

Hello everyone!
I entered the USA legally, with a B1 / B2 visa and I have the entry stamp in my passport, but I do not have my Form I-94 and the one that appears on the CBP Web does not correspond to my last entry to the United States. I want to send my I-485 based on my I-360 pending approval, but the processing time for Form I-102 (Processing Time for Application for Replacement / Initial Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Document (I-102) at Vermont Service Center ) delay 4.5 months.
On the other hand, now USCIS has a new rule that says that the cases that are received by USCIS after September 11 in case of a possible error, inconsistency or lack of information in the forms, USCIS may deny the case without being forced to request the corresponding RFE.
I understand that people who entered the USA illegally and are approved by Form I-360 can obtain I-485.
My former lawyer sent the Form I-360 without sending the I-94, just attach a copy of my visa and the entry stamp.
In the instructions of Form I-485 it says:

“If you cannot produce this primary evidence, and DHS has no record of the admission or parole, USCIS will presume that you came into the United States without admission or parole. You may, however, provide secondary evidence (records maintained in the ordinary course of business by any individual or organization other than DHS) to support your claim that you were admitted or paroled. If no secondary evidence is available, you may submit separate written statements, signed under penalty of perjury under United States law, from yourself and from any other individuals who have personal knowledge of the circumstances of your claimed admission or parole. Any statement should explain in detail when and where you came into the United States; what travel documents you had, if any; whether you showed them to the immigration inspector; any questions the immigration inspector asked; and any other details about your claimed admission or parole.”

 

Question:
1. Can I send my I-485 without sending I-94, just attaching a copy of the visa and the entry stamp without fear of being denied?

Thank you all for your opinions!

Hi Sandra, could you please give me your opinion about it? Thank you....

Who will perform the psychological evaluation will be the psychologist. Go the psychologist tell him/her that you will attend 5/7 therapy sessions and just after these sessions you will need a psychological evaluation done.The evaluation can't be GENERIC. He/she has to put your background, onset of the problems,abuse in details, tests performed,number of sessions, diagnose,treatment plan and referral if needed.
