When you make an e-request with USCIS on their website because you haven't received a notice and it says "a response to your inquiry was sent, referral number SR....." where can you look at the response that they say they sent? Will I receive a letter or can it be viewed online?

Hi guys

as I have posted here already I have been waiting for a decision since Jun/2019 when they received my RFE. I applied in November 2017.

Im already contacting my congressman.

 

today I received the automatic renewal from Prima Facie (thank you God because I use it to study) and it has more 180 days and it says that I should not receive an decision before that?

 

what do you guys think about it? One of you have received a 180 days prima facie and had the case approved before that?

 

receiving the Prima Facie renewal (issued couple days ago) is a good thing? Like meaning that they are still working on my case? Or getting the 180 is a bad signal?

 

please let me know your thoughts 

 

thanks

Good evening To you, How do we get a tracking number from USCIS?

Hi there

 

I just received I360 receipt dated on 11/20. They received package on 08/11. I also sent I485, I765, I912, I864W but no any recepit for that. No email/txt notice on G1145. 

Anyway - is it normal just to receive receipt for I360 that states filing fee waived (I asked for a waiver on I485 and I765) Are these gonna arrive at later date or what?

Thanks

I have found the courage to get sign up and seek guidance for my current situation.

I got married to my US citizen wife in October 2017. By June 2018 she was 3 months pregnant and 

regularly tried to start fights with me but I always avoided that problem. The last time she had me trapped

in the house and refused to let me go to work. When I was finally able to escape, I stayed away a 2 days,

when I returned she would not let me in the house but threw my stuff at me and she held on to my 

international passport. I called the Sheriff's office and 2 Deputies came before she handed it over to me.

She proceeded to clean out our joint account and subsequently closed it and also removed my name from

all utility bills. 

 

My attempts at peace failed, so I gave up. Then, one day in September 2018 she

emailed me saying she knew my interview would come up soon and she knows how important it is to me

and she is willing to go with me. Shortly after that, I received invitation for the interview to hold by Nov., 1 2018.

We had to reopen a fresh bank account and she had to put my name back on the utility bills et al. 

Things became strange when she refused to attach the sonogram and other documents to indicate that she

is pregnant. On the day of the interview, she seized my wedding band but I quietly drove to the mall and got

another one. While my attorney prepared us with likely interview questions and asked if we'd talk about children

she denied saying she doesnt want any kids. The interview went well and I was told my case will be reviewed.

 

On our way back, she started to trouble me again but I stayed calm. The following days, she called me a common

immigrant and all kind of names deliberately to provoke me, so I stayed away. Five (5) weeks after the interview,

she withdrew her petition for me and in February of this year a denial letter was sent. She told USCIS that I have

left home and she doesnt know where I am. She went ahead again to close our joint account. She gave birth to

our daughter in January and she switched hospitals to make sure my name is not on the birth certificate. Right now,

I filed for access and have a PL court order that gives

me  that.

 

Now, my problem is this. I have met a number of attorneys and they are not willing to take up my case to file for VAWA.

They always say that because she did not hit me, it will be hard to prove abuse (even though I already seen

a Psychiatrist who believes I was abused) and I have had multiple therapy sessions because I was in a really bad

shape mentally. In fact, this last attorney told me that applying for VAWA could trigger a NOTICE TO APPEAR (NTA).

 

Please what can I do?

No idea.. none can tell you how uscis process cases.. may be they are working on your background check and it must be causing delays.. you never know, keep your spirits high you will receive approval soon. Plus prima facie are usually upto 180 days. Your approval is anywhere soon

Hello my friend. I am sure you have been through rough times in during this marriage. Did you speak with attorneys that specialize  and experienced with VAWA? if not, I suggest you seek one. VAWA is a complicated matter and you need a good lawyer and good strong evidence of the abuse(mental/emotional/physical).

Usually they come all together. Mine came together but sometimes, they take 1 or 2 days so you will get them as well very soon

Isolation, taking your passport, threatening you- all comes under emotional abuse. Not to mention financially abuse as well. I see you have a strong case. Make sure to attach that police report which you mentioned, also all previous utility bills under your both names, your daughter information as it will be extremely easy to proof bona fide marriage. Continue with your sessions and attach them with your package. Also, attach police clearance report for past 3 years where you lived..

important- your personal affidavit explaining your relationship your wife and abuse you suffered. Also, affidavits from friends/family who witnessed abuse will help your case a lot. 
i see a strong case. Just hire an attorney who is specialize in vawa. Physical abuse is not important to file vawa.

Thanks dear, I emailed this noon to the congressman office and in to hours I received status update. Card mailed but there is no tracking number included to it. I have the tracking app and the USCIS case status online account.
