Physically mentally and emotionally - I went to the DV shelter too then went back to reconcile - I found no respite 

every lawyer I met said I don’t have enough bonafide marriage evidence - 

Don't let negative energy capture you! Gather all you are able to... back it up with affidavits! Commit the whole process into God's able hands, and watch HIM win this for you!👌👍😊

contact DV shelter and ask for report. 

In your affidavit, write everything how he did not add you in joint documents. If police was involved, add police report. As I said earlier, add pictures of you guys together, statements from neighbors and friends

If you are talking about the I-360 I can tell you my experience. I'm approved by the grace of God. We don't have nothing shared. Name it, I don't have it. NO bank account, shared residence, insurance. . . I submitted a detailed self, sister, mom and friend affidavit. The only thing I found with the address is the hospital documents sent for me. I submitted his proof of residency by googling on people search engines. My advice pray, do what you have to do, give all the information you have and wait. If you prefer to stress yourself keep on reading all those denial materials and stay up all night, loose your appetite. . . read success stories and give to God. The Righteous Judge is your father. Do what you have to do and give it to God. May the Almighty God guide you through out the process and guard your heart. 

wow.. claps !

@Pinkslays check this.. how positive this reply is. we understand its hard to proof bona fide but think and you will get plenty of documents. AND AND AND don't read those PDFs

Hello everyone, I am new here. I have prepared my packet but I have a question about the fees

 

I am not applying for a fee waiver. I know that the i485 fee including biometrics is $1225 and the I360 fee is $435.
 

Do I need to pay a fee for the i765? And if yes how much is it?

Isn't i360 free anymore? Last time I checked it was...also you don't have to pay for the i765..as long as you have a pending i485 you're eligible for the C9 EAD.👍

Sorry.. Wow I360 is not free anymore 

 

$435. You may pay the fee with a money order, personal check, or cashier’s check.  When filing at a USCIS Lockbox facility, you may also pay by credit card using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions. If you pay by check, you must make your check payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Please note that service centers are not able to process credit card payments.

When you send a payment, you agree to pay for a government service. Filing and biometric service fees are final and non-refundable, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition, or request, or if you withdraw your request. Use our Fee Calculator to help determine your fee.

If you are required to pay a fee for your petition or are unable to submit your petition electronically, you may still follow the form instructions and submit the Form I-360 by mail.

The following individuals are exempt from paying the $435 fee:

• Amerasians; (Box 1.A. on the form);
• Self-petitioning abused spouses or children of U.S. citizens or permanent residents (Box 1.I. or Box 1.J. on the form);
• Self-petitioning abused parents of U.S. citizens (Box 1.K. on the form);
• Special Immigrant Juveniles (Box 1.C. on the form); or,
• Iraqi nationals who worked for or on behalf of the U.S. government in Iraq (Box 1.L. or Box 1.M. on the form)
• Afghan nationals who worked for or on behalf of the U.S. government in Afghanistan (Box 1.L. or Box 1.N. on the form).

Note: Religious Workers may not file Form I-360 concurrently with a Form I-485. 8 CFR 245.2(a)(2)(B); Cf. Ruiz-Diaz v. United States, 703 F.3d 483 (9th Cir. 2012).  A Religious Worker may file Form I-485 only after USCIS has approved the Form I-360.

Attestation for Special Immigrant Religious Worker Classification

All petitioners filing Form I-360 petitions for special immigrant religious workers are required to submit the employer attestation in Form I-360. If applicable, the petitioner is also required to submit the Religious Denomination Certification in Form I-360, which must be signed by the authorized representative of the religious organization within the denomination. Please refer to the form’s instructions for further details.

Widow(er)s of Deceased U.S. Citizens

At one time, section 201(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provided that a citizen’s surviving spouse could file an immigrant visa petition if the citizen and surviving spouse had been married at least two years. On Oct. 28, 2009, section 568(c) of Public Law 111-83 amended the Immigration and Nationality Act so that you may be eligible to immigrate, even if you and your deceased spouse were married for less than 2 years when your spouse died.

You must still file your Form I-360 no later than 2 years after the citizen’s death.

Your eligibility for classification as the widow(er) of a U.S. citizen on the basis of a Form I-360 that you file after your citizen spouse died ends if you remarry before you immigrate or adjust status.

If your deceased citizen spouse filed a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, before dying, you do not need to file a Form I-360. Your spouse’s Form I-130 was automatically converted to a Form I-360. If your immigrant visa petition was originally filed as a Form I-130, your remarriage does not necessarily mean you cannot immigrate. Section 204(l) of the Immigration and Nationality Act permits USCIS to approve the petition as a Form I-130, even if you have remarried.   

Iraqi and Afghan nationals who worked for or on behalf of the U.S. government in Iraq or Afghanistan

You may scan and email your petition with the required documents (preferably in pdf format) to nsci360sivapp@uscis.dhs.gov.

If you scan and email your Form I-360, include the email address you want USCIS to use to send your electronic receipt. If you do not include an email address with your form, we will send the receipt notice electronically to the email address from which the petition was submitted.

If you submit your petition by email, you must bring the same original, signed Form I-360 that was submitted with you to your consular interview.
