I don't think it matter.  My advance parole is about to expire n I just called my lawyer and she said not to Renew or use because persons are going out n not coming in .this is from a lawyer in nyc... Can anyone say yes or no?  

Everyone that i know left the U.S with advance parole they came back without any probem, in December at list 25 people that I handled they AOS/VAWA travelled and return, but if you have a removal order pending or administratively closed then  you should not travel.

It doesn't matter If i  file i131 after EAD?

 

Also I got my fee waived for EAD. Do I have to file another Fee Waiver for I131?

 

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

Yes you will need to file I-912 for your I-131 if you cannot afford to oay the USCIS fees.

What is the procedure to add additional documents to the vawa application before final adjudication is done. It's for good moral from home country that was not  added before.@sandraj kindly give professional advice.

Submit a cover letter and a copy of the I-360 receipt.

Hello to everybody!

 

I've just discovered this great forum as I am waiting on my VAWA case decision and do my prayers.

I've filed I-360 on May 31, 2017 , my I-485 is pending from  August 2016.

So far I got Prima Facie and 2 extensions,  2 RFE on my moral character and a long wait and silence, and finally, February 14, 2019, I got a notice from them that my card was produced and they are mailing it to me. So I've thought it would be my GC, naive me

I got an EAD card c31 category instead not even applying for it as I didn't send my I-765 form, waiting for VAWA approval first. 

Since my EAD card is based on my VAWA case, should I hope it was approved already? 

Does anybody have the same experience?  

 

P.S.: In addition to my frustration, my EAD card came with an error, they got my DOB wrong:(  since I didn't file any I-765 form just I-360 where my DOB is right.

I'm positive it's their mistake. I've read a lot of information, some people say don't bother, look for work as employees care only if it's valid or not, but how I can renew my DL and get my SSN with the wrong DOB. Is anyone here experienced something like that? 

Please, guys, advise 🙏

 

 

 

 

 

Submit the original doccument to the USCIS ansd aske them to fix it and ask to expedite as well  because of their error.

If VAWA is denied... what are the steps to take? 

 

Can I apply all over again? If so do I start from scratch, the waiting game...

 

Or can i dispute it and request for them to review it again? 

You can file a motion if there is a mistake by USCIS or if you have new information to submit in your case, but just file a motion because you don't agree with their decision then don't waste your time, USCIS is discretionary.

 

You can file VAWA again but make sure you will cover all points that they mentioned that you didn't satisfy them.

If Vawa gets denied you can reapply with a letter to explain in detail ... if you reapply the case would be reopen and nah it dosent start from scratch....

Your information is not correct, if the person submit a new Vawa the VAWA petition will be a new case, they will not reopen the previous VAWA at all but they will compare the first VAWA case just  to see if they find any discrepancy in the new case, and yes the person has to start from scratch.

I just received a Prima Facie determination for my application in Jan 2019, unfortunately my interview is still scheduled. I'm very nervous, my attorney tried to request an info pass to put it on hold, but that didn't happen. My interview is in March, attorney is going to prepare me for my interview. I thought we would just go and request to place it on hold? I know many of you have placed your previous I485 on hold from previous marriage, what did you say? Did you get to the interview point? Did you just go in and ask an office before getting called? I'm scared they might deny it. This is in NC. Please help.

Your attorney wil go there with you to ask to put on hold that is it.In over 17 years i saw just 2 cases that USCIS  decided to go ahead with the I-485 interview before the VAWA approval,and one of the officers made a mistake issuing a green card for 2 years instead 10.I contacted them and they issued a new with GC with the correct expirtation date .

Hey Sandra

One of the member here said they went to the AOS interview in NYC and the IO said they can"t put the I485 on hold because this office does not adjudicated vawa cases, that means it will it be automatically denied what can we do in these case for NYC applicants

@FeDaniela The same thing happened to me at my interview. My lawyer was with me and we asked to have my I485 be held. The officer said they can't have my I360 because it was only for I485 interview. She said she was gonna put a "no-show" note since my ex- wasn't there with me. She was rude! My I485 is still active now. I though they were going to deny it.
