This attorney had told me I was not elegible to apply for EAD until they approved my VAWA, so I didn't for almost 6 months after I applied VAWA 😱 my abuser is a USCS and I already had a pending i-485 and epired EAD. The only useful info has been this website that I thank God for. 

I totally understand dear believe me..the only reason I haven't or rather didn't fire my lawyer was because of the correspondence issue..I didn't want any issues with my petition. Vermont takes forever to update address change..I just wanted the whole thing to go smoothly. Imagine my lawyer telling me ignorantly that we didn't apply for card under vawa that how come I'm saying card was mailed out to them under vawa..I had to patiently school my lawyer who I am paying! 😂😂😂 I just wish I could get my money back! My lawyer still doesn't know that my vawa has been approved because the approval letter is yet to reach them and they don't understand what "card has been mailed out" means under vawa! I'm glad I knew well to be proactive about my case!😏😏

The lawyer information was incorrect. You could of have renew your EAD while your i485 was pending and got an extension of 180 days if you renewal was on time, and waited for the EAD renewal to arrived. You can still apply for an EAD to VSC if you still have your i485 pending, sent copy of the receipt along with i765 form. Your husband was an USC.  The wait time to apply for EAD / AP is when the abuser is an LPR, then after the approval you get an EAD and move foward with I485 base on priority date. etc... 
This Vawa forum have educated me so much, is a blessing.

I did have a lawyer who filed for me originally but I had to fire him. He didn't know anything about VAWA just collecting money and he said supposedly he didn't receive anything for me. 

It's said that 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.  

Sandra, here, is the shining exception, of course.

Anybody knows if they would adjudicate an EAD renewal and Advance Parole (I-331) under C9 category although I am already divorced and pending VAWA and RFE?

The question is if you have a pending I485??

This here is true! Thankfully Sandra has been so helpful. Frankly if I had joined this forum much earlier, I would have fired my attorney! But I have no worries now that my case has been approved! I recommend Sandra to anyone who has hit a brick wall in their case.👍

Than you can file for your renewal to VSC include the receipt of your I485.

I agree, I filed my original I-485 package with abuser by myself. I only wish I was confident enough to file by my own but I've waited for so long that I no longer care about the "ifs, were should've" LOL

I think having a pending i485 and being that your spouse is USC qualifies you for the EAD under co9. Even for 1360 only that most people don't want to apply alongside 1360 until it has been approved to avoid been in removal proceedings if it's denied! I don't know if this makes sense.

What's 1360, I apologize for my ignorance 😬
