No. I received my vawa approval... I am about to send my EAD application this week. I sent my vawa alone not along with the other applications.

If you did not select for C31 to be issued on your VAWA application, they will not issue you an EAD. So yes you will have to apply. It will take 4 - 6 months for it to be issued.

Wow! The wait times are definitely crazy!!! This is alarming!😕 the renewals are certainly more disturbing as by the time you get it..you're almost ready to send it in again...they need to do something and fast!

I AM BROKEN DEPRESSED THANKS FOR HELPING ALL OF US

Well before sandra comes through I would like to say that at this point, especially since you already filed the petition, all you can do is wait for the response..it can be an approval, it can be an RFE..of course we all want an approval straight up!☺ are you attending therapy? You should! If you feel like you may get an RFE for mutual residence..then be ready to gather affidavits from family and friends, neighbors and landlord to testify you lived with your spouse! Rent/lease receipts..letters to you/your spouse addressed to your residence..bills..bank statements..insurance..etc..any document you can lay your hands on..VAWA accepts "any credible evidence" so while you're waiting, be ready!👍

Also it might interest you to know that I never applied for C31 EAD..they tend to give it out when your application is approved! You may be receiving it anytime soon..or else I'm missing something..

Yes, actually it mentions that in the approval letter. Thank you!!!

Hi all, I need a little bit of help and a good advise.

I feel like my lawyer wants to make mistakes intentionally so she charge me more later for fixing it.
I mean she does not want to send a latter to USCIS asking to hold I485 until VAWA case is processed. She says that she got different tactics, etc. What do you think about it? Should I request it by my own ?
About extension of EAD+AP, she said me to do it by my own or she charges me more again. I was doing everything by my own before, except VAWA case because I didnt even know it exists until my situation happened.

So, I will go and apply for EAD+AP extension by my own. 
As my I360 is pending I am not applying based on c31, right? EAD is still based on pending I485, which is c09, correct?
Also, in instructions it says that if I am applying for a renewal based on pending I485 then I send it to Chicago (which I bet I am)
Other option is pending I485 based on approved I360 (mine is not approved yet) then applying to Vermont...which I bet I am not.
Am I right or not?
Also, I don't have my I360 receipt, my lawyer never sent me a copy, but she sent me Prima Facie copy over email. Or I need I360 receipt to apply?

Thank you in advance guys!!! Have a great week.

I'm not surprised at all at the shady and questionable character of your lawyer! We've read about most of their antics here and dealt with them personally as well! Obviously your lawyer wants to create a situation where he/she will charge you for filing a fresh i485! Nothing stops him/her from asking for that petition to be held in abeyance! She also knows she's the attorney on file so most of your documentation would be directed at her..if you feel uncomfortable with this kind of shadiness..do ask him or her to sign the form that says they no longer represent you..set you free to handle stuff on your own! You can ask @sandranj the attorney here for guidance! Send her a message..call for her here...she's been very helpful and you'll get valuable advice from the amazing community here! Do please demand he/she hands you your documents including thr i360 receipt! If there's a prima facie there's definitely a receipt! It's part of his/her scheme towards making you solely dependent on him/her!  Your EAD extension is C9 category! When your VAWA is approved you get C31! I think you can do the extension yourself from comments I've read here! Hang in here you'll scale through!

Hello everyone I just want to ask, can I use a PO Box as my new address? I am still waiting for the rest of the approvals and I am anticipating to be living in a shelter or with a friend in the near future. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thank you!

That so [removed],  from all the complains that we see on here in regards bad lawyer experience is there a way we can have a separate treat we we can share bad experience with lawyers and make everyone of unprofessional lawyers.  I don't know if we a legally allowed to do that but it is just a suggestion?
