Thank you, But you also confuse us, you already got your EAD C31 on hand LOL this is a renewal... You can renew either C09 or C31 you qualify for both, but just renew under one category, Also after VAWA is approved the wait time for renewal EAD C31 is the same time as a C09. (5-8months)

 Remember to sent it to Vermont Service Center. 

Lol sorry about that 

I thought I write renewal, no? 

My mind is just everywhere and nowhere, lately

sorry should the confusion

I think you should be fine.

i think mine was an exception. 

The lady I spoke to earlier advised to file under the c09 category. 

 

Do you guys know with if it’s true that under certain categories like c09 based EAD once we receive the receipt notice, we can use that to show the employer we automatically get a 180 day extension in our work permit even if we don’t have the physical EAD card on hand yet? 

 

 

Sure your NOA doubles as your 180 days extension! Also your case is not an exception concerning EAD denial...some folks have reported same following issuance of C31 category! Or Greencard approval like I stated earlier..but let's see how mine plays out...not that I need it anyway..😊

Good day people, has anyone shipped anything to Vermont via USPS . What’s the cheapest rate they have for priority ?

Hello

1. I have to ask for the migration documents that he submitted for marriage. To know his US passport.
I do not have his US passport ...
This must be done through FOIA
But I don’t know how to work with this service and where to look for information on this issue.

 

2. The psychologist will not give an assessment for me. She said it is forbidden, as disclosure of the patient’s secrets.

 

3. Police reports that I have - little information for USCIS

 

I Do not know how to do properly.
Maybe I need to quit this thing (Case) ...

No, don’t give up so quickly. It takes time.  

 

First step is to gather all your documents and prepare the paperwork esp collecting evidence is your top priority. Letter, chats, emails, text msgs, phone records, apt lease, photos, tickets, travel records, national IDs or passports, birth and marriage certificates, engagement and wedding photos, shared rent, cell phone, utility, or Internet bills. Affidavits from friends and family members. 

 

Next, find an immigration attorney and therapist that you trust.

If you feel overwhelmed, can you reach out to someone in/from your community who is/speaks Russian? You can find them through yelp and schedule a consultation via Skype etc.

Find someone with good reviews who is trustworthy and reliable. They are also more likely to have connections with therapists and psychologists and give you a referral. 

 

I think you should first do some research and book an initial consultation. Most times it’s free. Then, go from there. See how you feel. 

 

The payoff will be worth it. 

 

The therapist should be able to gather information from you and produce a report that he/she will share with you later on because as a client, you should keep a copy for yourself. Take as much documents as you have with you and give as many concrete and specific  examples as you can recall. Provides him/her with examples of events/incidents that occurred which affected you the most with dates and location (according to your timeline from when and how you met hom

abd how the relationship evolved and how things finally ended  between you too). 

 

Since the therapist is private rather than court appointed and you have chosen the therapist, it is your right to ask for and keep a copy of the report he/she submits with your application. 

 

I agree it will be more difficult since you are in a diff country/continent altogether. But, don’t give you up so fast. I think you should try and see how things turn out. 

 

Also, the rules for reporting and guidance on confidentiality between the therapist and patient are likely to be very diff in Russia vs. America.

 

If I are in your place, I would find a Russian attorney who speaks my language and understands my needs and ask them if they can suggest/recommend any therapist etc. 

 

Try and schedule a consultation to find out more and ease your mind. Then, see how you feel afterwards. 

 

In NY, there are a lot on Russian immigration attorneys based in Brooklyn & Queens. I personally don’t know anyone, though, otherwise, I could be of more help to you. Best of luck to you, though!

1. You can always substitute his US passport for his birth certificate, voters registration information (if he’s registered to vote as a US citizen ), try vital records online too. You can request his birth records since you’re still married to him legally . 
 

2. Look for another Psychologist and explain to him / her what you need the reports for, that can substitute for a police report too. 
 

3. Submit the little police report you have and the texts and mails. That evidence you think is little might be something big for USCIS . 
 

4. Quitting is for losers. And @natalysmile you’re not a loser. You must fight till the end. Always come here for any questions

Why would you quit ? 
You submit what you have ... worst case they deny you - you will appeal again ! 
read carefully what others wrote to you - very useful information there .

there are ways to prove he is US citizen - you are still married to him 

there is vital records , Drivers license, passport .... 

there are several pyschologist who may agree - one refuses , other will agree .

go to a domestic violence shelter in Russia - ask their pyschologist ...

Some pyschologist do Skype sessions - they are from USA ... ask them ...

 

yes you need some money to do all this 

you will have to work and save some money just for this 

but why quit 

 

I don’t understand the quit part

I did. Got there in 3 days. The cheapest is the standard flat rate (@$7,50) priority mail. They give you a tracking number and all.

Thank you. 

 

I’ll double check why why I was not notified. 

Thanks. 

Dear house I have a question that if you are receiving the work authorization under c31 ie VAWA approved it’s only for work authorization.

But the case is that the c09 work authorization comes with advance parole so even if the VAWA is approved The C09 should not be declined otherwise the petitioner will be declined from the advance parole as well if it’s a combo card.

Yes VAWA C31 is just work authorization only! C09 is the combo card and C9 is just the work permit! VAWA C31 is totally different from the EAD under C9 category.. So VAWA approval has nothing to with approving/denying C9 or the combo card..as this category is only through a pending i485..so yes through this route..if the EAD is denied it will only affect the AP if it's a combo card!

So I took everybody’s advice and asked my lawyer to file my EAD renewal on my own and she was okay with it. Thank you guys! 😊@Stillwinning!!!😊 @Shroy123 @Gogetter18 @namastenyc @FeDaniela @sandranj Any tips or advice on how to do it ✌🏻

If you have pending AOS, you do not need to pay any fee for AP. Just add your i485 receipt

I did that and it was rejected a month back and reason was that I didn't pay the fee

Awesome! I believe FeDaniela mentioned all you need in earlier posts..fill out the i765 form print out..copy of i485, two passport style photographs, probably a copy of your govt issued i.d card, fee waiver perhaps..although I've never done it myself, I believe that's about what you'll need..
