We know Divorce have no effect on our VAWA Petition, But my questions is if someone have the experience I will like to be clear too, how about our I-485 case ??? I-485 and I-360 are two different process and have their own requirements, Our AOS  will be base on an approve I-360 petition where it was grant to us base on proving an abuse existed. How will impact our AOS interview if we are not divorce yet from our abuser?? Can this raise a red flag to IO officer ?? Anyone had I-485 interview base on approved I-360 and it was still married at the moment of the interview??? 

I was still married to my abuser at the time of my interview and I’m currently still married. I have my Green Card. Planning to get divorced thou so no worries.

@Stillwinning and others. I need a very urgent advise. I did not file AP with my EAD renewal in February, the fees was waived then. I just confirmed from attorney. And i believe the error was mine.

Can I file for AP now? And I think EAD should be release anytime soon? Will i have to pay a fee now if i file separately? 

I need advise on this. Thank you all.

Yes if you don't file concurrently with I-765 you need to file I-131 separately and  paid the fee, but if you cannot paid the fee also file I-912 for a fee waiver.

Guys, has anyone recently been approved for i-360? When I say approved I mean where the status charged to "your case was approved"not "your card is under production"?

 

I'm trying to get a timeline of how long it takes for them to approve your case after receiving the work permit. It's be 48 days for me since I received my work permit(C31)

 

@Stillwinning!!!😊 I know yours took 28 days if I remember correctly. 😇

Card in Production           12.19.18

Case Appr Notice             1.01.19

case Was Approved         1.11.19

Sorry for late response..I've told you previously that you can..the waiver will enable you do it without payment!

For neither of them you are requested to be divorce BUT according to my lawyer for I485 is best “just in case” you are in the process or best if you are already divorce.

it is NOT required by law!

it will just suit better to the immigration officer (I am guessing) all depends who do you get in the interview.

Hey Guys, want to give my experience on this topic when I went to my initial AOS interview here in NYC office, After my lawyer handle I-360 receipt to the officer and explain to him the marriage was broken, the officer ask me for my divorce decree my lawyer promptly responded we haven't filed yet, His face change and he look at the I-360 receipt which  is June 2018 and my Interview was on May 2019, he said OK well your I-485 cannot be process now since I-360 is pending in Vermont unit i will ship I-485 to Vermont and you will be scheduled for a second interview you will have more time to start the process.....  I did not mind what he said I was just happy he held my I-485. Until i see this conversation on here, Every officer is different but USICS expect you to divorce your abuser at some point if I-360 taking 16-24 months plus the adjustment of status time we talking about almost 2 years or more process, we have a consider time to get divorce or to at least try to start the process. Is logical to do so, because been married to someone is also being tie and have  jointly responsibility in the eyes of the law. So Maybe NOT require at the interview but is expected.

(just my personal and point of view as I saw the officer reaction your experience can be different)...

Appreciate you sharing the experience. Every bit of first hand information helps.Looks like it all comes down to officers personal reactions. Although its great to know from rest of the folks here that divorce is not required by law. Happy weekend👍 😊
