Just a quick note to encourage everyone who hasn't been able to extend their DL by 180 days with the 797C notification.

I consider my case peculiar because my initial 485 was considered abandoned and denied cos the wife(USC) refused to show up for the interview.

Being aware that I had just 2 months left on my EAD based on a C9 category, I went to BMV Hillard today with the 797C notification, SSN, proof of address(Bill), EAD card and the officer helped in getting this done seamlessly. I did have to wait for a little bit but successfully had it extended for 180 days.

Be strong everyone, be persistent and remember "The power of the devil isn't in its gimmicks but in its CONSISTENCY".
I fasted and prayed before going to BMV lol

Tada

 

By the way, what's the fee for AOS now?

How much money order should I include if submitting 485 with VAWA application?

Good to know you were able to extend your DL. Congrats. Looks like there's already light at the end of the tunnel. Might just be signs of wonderful things to come! 😊 not sure about the i485 fee but someone said $1225 I hope it's correct though. Goodluck with the whloe process. Yes prayer is Gold!

# Did he refuse to carry on with the AOS?

# Have you lots been invited for AOS interview yet? ( 2 years conditional GC, except you lots have been married for more than 2 years)

# Your I30 is irrelevant in this case since you're considering filing VAWA. ( I30 is a petition filed on your behalf by your spouse to adjust status based on marriage to a USC).

# Your I485 could be placed on hold and used towards your VAWA application.

 

Someone, please shed more light...

Here is the thing, we were called to our interview last week. During the interview the office wanted to talk to my husband privately, so I waited outside and after I came back he asked me the yes/no questions, I signed the I-485 he gave us a paper saying they will make a decision soon. After we got home I noticed my husband was a little off but he went to work and I thought everything was fine. The next day I kept asking him what was wrong because he was completely different. He got really angry, started screaming saying that the guy from the interview told him that he needs to keep his eyes open because I'm only with him for the green card, that I didn't love him, that I was probably cheating, and kept telling him that I don't love him. So when he said that I starter crying, I couldn't believe what he was saying. I don't know if its normal for offices to pressure people like that during the interview but I was hurt because my husband believed him. We have been together for 4 years, he never questioned my love for him nothing. So we got into this huge fight, I told him to leave the house, that if he doesn't think I love him than he should really leave. He started screaming saying he is calling immigration to send me back, that he is taking my car keys so I can't go anywhere, took my card to our bank account. He has being staying at his moms house. I/m afraid to get a restraining order because I don't know how he will react. And I still haven't received an approval or denial for the I-485 after the interview so I don't know what to do. What if I file vawa and they approve this next week?

This here narrative should have come first..the first post you put out was somewhere in between..maybe in the middle. Now I have a good picture of your situation! Wow! If there hasn't been an ongoing abuse..I'm not sure if you can file for vawa..but then I'm not in any position to tell you what to do. If that one time argument was all there ever was I'm not sure that qualifies for abuse. Does this narrative mean that all has been well until the interview? I say this because judging from the interview, the officer has doubts already..going the vawa route will only heighten suspicion..again it's just my observation..Soon we will get diverse opinions and suggestions.

Finally an exegesis!!!

I am of the opinion that this does not constitute a ground for VAWA if there has been no mishaps prior to the interview/argument between you lots. However, I am in no way in a position to dictate what qualifies for VAWA and more. 

I would suggest you try work things out since the latter shows you have been together for 4 plus years.

Filing VAWA may simply raise more concerns as the officer already does have his reservation.

Considering what you are saying here you were not  abused.What  you described  here was  an unhealthy fight and not abuse. Telling you that  he will send you back home is not abuse.

 

Abuse is  a pattern  of control,intimidation,humiliation

degradation,coercion,threats against your life etc. Vawa is for people abused and not because USCIS denied the AOS or because they might deny the AOS.

 

Restraining order is if the person fears for her/his life.

@BbviFL this here is coming from the attorney in the forum. You can't go wrong with her words. Trust me she'll know if you stand a chance or not..but it's looking more like the vawa might not be the route for your particular situation. If you can talk to her she may have valuable advice for you. Good luck!

@Hopemama, Yes. I informed them I had a sensitive(i360) application and I was inquiring the reason for delay. Doesn't hurt to ask your congressperson to inquire fr you. 

I contacted by filling the form on their webpage yesterday. Nothing come back yet. I'm waiting....

 Finally.. The long wait is over.. Sadly the login uscis account isnt showing this update but when i went directly to their website and put in my receipt number this popped up.. Why have an account to check the status if they're not updating it respectfully?  This is my very first ead filed in November after i realized that the category my former attorney filed (c31) meant i would have only gotten it once my vawa was approved. The received date was november 23 2018

Congrats

@BbviFLI would suggest you pray ask God to take control, God is your only answer to all this questions... tell God you want your i485 to be approved,  and also pls try to go Seattle with your husband.... uscis interview officer cant brake a marriage of love my dear... go Seattle with ur husband ... I believe God will tall control of you case...

@FeDaniela is right. This is what happened to me. I thought my I-765 is out of normal processing time,  i filled it with I-360 along with I-485 then we kept sending an inquiries to VSC and didn't get anything rather than an automated msg. then i figured that it is after  I-360 approval and in between I-485. My I-765 case history is  two pages because of my uninformed lawyer. I believe i'm teaching him a lot regarding VAWA. what i want to tell you is listen to the experienced people here and add on your research even if your lawyer is the best. 

I will. Thank you.

Hi,

I was told to join this forum for suggestions and tips to proceed with VAWA application. First of all, I am male victim of abuse. Let me make this story short for you. I have facing mental and physical abuse for at least 14 months. My wife has thrown knives, scissors and utensils on me several time. I am going to apply for VAWA. I need your suggestions. I have these things to go.

1. Medical Note from doctor about my injuries (it does not state about abuse). 
2. Joint Lease of TWO YEARS 
3. Joint bank account with running statements of TWO YEARS
4. Some pictures from other sources (since she had destroyed my laptop and cellphone). 
5. Auto Insurance (she is an excluded driver as she had no driver's license). 
6. Bill copies of two years (all on her name since I had no ssn at that time). 
7. Affidavits from our common friends about the abuse 
8. Affidavits from my boss (she came and assaulted me and yelled at me) 
9. Psychologist's evaluation 
10. Some pictures of my wounds and physical abuse. 
11. A declaration from our landlord about me and my wife living together and good tenants ( not confirmed yet but he willing to give it to me).

I have one fear. For some months, I had to work on odd jobs to make money for her as she was getting very brutal on those days. Is it gonna affect my VAWA application? What kind of other proofs should I gather before jumping into this process?  I would really appreciate your help. 

Moreover, I also have one question. Is my EAD going to be ceased or revoked if I go with VAWA? What would I do then? I do not want to be a burden for other people. I want to make my own money. I want to proceed with studies too. Probably, something in healthcare. Please, suggest me something.
