Marriage annulment is not common and is also very hard to proof, and you must fight it to the end to get a divorce and NOT an annulment.... marriage annulment is like a marriage is null, void,  never existed and for Vawa you must proof you were married and lived at some point with your abuser.. In Vawa USCIS may accept an marriage annulment case if  marriage was not legitimate solely because of the bigamy (married to someone else before marrying you and your were not aware of) and he was abusive.

FIGHT for a divorce and not an Annulment,..

 

Reason for a judge to grant  a marriage Annulment: 

You are close blood relatives, or close relatives by marriage or adoption (first cousins, siblings)

You were impotent and the marriage was not consummated.

You were still legally married to another person when the marriage took place

You were not legally old enough to be married at the time

You were forced into the marriage

You were not mentally competent when you entered into the marriage

Your marriage was fraudulent (green card fraud, criminal history, sexually transmitted diseases or impotence) **** which this is the one your abuser wants to file for***

 

I AM NOT SURE YET ABOUT HER MOTIVES. SHE JUST THREATENED ME THROUGH A COMMON FRIEND. I AM NOT CONTACTING HER. SHE WANTS TO TALK TO ME AND I AM AVOIDING HER BY ANY MEANS. SHE HAS NO REASONS OTHER THAN FRADULENT MARRIAGE BUT I HAVE WITNESSES AND MY FRIENDS TO HELP ME OUT IN THE COURT. THEY HAVE ALREADY GIVEN ME THE STATEMENTS FOR VAWA APPLICATIONS

Hello Sandra and everyone,  I don't understand very well. My EAD expired last year before filling VAWA. I sent my package in October 2018 with EAD renewal, I've applied for a job before EAD expired last year and I started working on Tuesday last week. It's advisable to continue working or not ? Pls I need help. 

If you didn’t apply to obtain work permit you should not work, but If you submitted form l765 over 90 days ago and you didn’t get the work permit contact your Congressperson and ask him to inquire on your behalf ASAP ,and in this case you don’t have to stop working because the EAD delay was not caused by you, you  should not have a problem because of this ,but contact your congressperson today.

My wife of 3 years just filed for divorce. She has sent me the letter but I’ve not picked it up yet from the post office it was sent as a certified mail. If I decide not to sign the papers does it affect me if I file for vawa ? Am I suppose to be the one to file for divorce under abuse? Since she filed for divorce first is that a problem? 

 

When am am I officially divorced is it when I sign the papers it is finalized? 

Like @Ziongirl adviced, you can still file for vawa if you are divorced within the two year frame prior to filing! I don't think your spouse filing first or you makes any difference..as long as there was a qualifying relationship in this case (marriage), then you meet the criteria for vawa! Still you may want to hear from Sandra or any other attorney! Goodluck!

Obviously it's taking longer than usual now. I've heard reports of 5months and above! I applied for a renewal Feb2019 they said it's still under processing! I'm even surprised you have not received yours considering you're a January filer! Wow! I hope I don't have to worry about EAD again before my greencard interview! I'm presently working with my c31 EAD from vawa approval!

She can file for divorce.  It will not affect your VAWA as you filed prior to the divorce.  My suggestion is to divorce and move on from your abuser. Your divorce is not official until the judge consents to the divorce.  Signing the paperwork is the beginning.  If you think it is going to be a problem, you need a lawyer.

Just arrived at JFK airport using my EAD card combo for the first time. Very smooth process and the officer mentioned that until I get a green card I'll be brought into the secondary room for a parole stamp. Took about 15 minutes total.

Nice experience 😊😊😊😊😊😊
