Hi All,

 

This forum have given me some relif in the middle of all this hell and for the people who is dealing with a horrible marriage just remember you are not alone ...

 

I never thought that my wife was such a b***t and she will treat me like sh*t while we were married and now because of that I have to deal with psycologists because of the fear of the people, also deal with a process to try to convince immigration that in my marriage I was the good one and deal with a long waiting time which honestly is frustrating. I know there is no place for my complains and I know it was my choice to start this process but if I quit or if I leave all my ex-wife mistreatment will be in vain. I hope to have the strenght to move forward. At least it seems soon I can get the divorce and I can left that part of my life behind (Obviously my ex-wife is delaying the process because she wants to fu¨k me up in some way and she doesn´t want the divorce).

 

I had already had the interview and it was horrible because the interviewers were rude and also because that day I went through an asthma attack (you can imagine why I had the attack ... wife threats). Anyway after 2 months of my interview I couldn't affort anymore the situation and my family, friends and everyone were concern so I left her and I applied for vawa on 11/13/2019, Uscis received my package on 11/15/2019 and they sent me a RFE on 12/24/2019 asking for the good moral character. They received my response on 12/31/2019 and I know this is just the begining of a long wait.

 

I have some questions for the experts:

 

- With my vawa I requested to move the I130 priority date and also my I485 to my I360.

 

- Before my vawa I sent the EAD C09 renewal on 08/08/2019 and until now I haven't received any news or approval?. Its been almost 6 months and I'd like to know if it is normal this waiting time or maybe there could be a problem?.

 

- Uscis receved my response on december 31st (one month ago), when should I expect the prima facia?.  

 

- If I receive my EAD and advance parole renewal can I leave the country for a short time?.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Dany.

If mothers has only one daughter and daughters has green card, does she bring her mother? I mean she has only mother

NO. Green card holders can only petition for their children and spouse.. Only Us Citizens can petition Parents, Brothers / Sisters/ Spouse / Children

Did you go to your I485 interview with your ex wife? it's confusing because if you already did the marriage based interview, what was the result of that?

Understood. They could still approve your green card based on the marriage interview that you had with her. But since you applied for VAWA now, make sure that USCIS don't deny you I485. Only travel if you're sure that it is still pending. If they deny you can always apply a new I485 with I765/I131 if your wife is a U.S citizen. Contact your congressman to make an inquiry and see what is the current status of your I485.

If you wife is USC then priority date is not gonna make a difference. 

Yes EAD is taking that long is normal for USCIS. I have been waiting for my EAD since july 10th. 

It is hard to tell when you are gonna receive peima facia. As per Experts here, it usually takes 30-90 days. 

Yes you can travel  once you have advance parole.  I planning to travel as well once i get my EAd/parole

I got my new EAD card today, it’s a renewal card, I sent the renewal application in November 2019, it’s based on category a10, my current status is withholding of removal

Quick question, does the current immigrant visa ban apply to vawa applicants? @sandranj

Hi all, congrats to those who got approvals done!!

 

I have a question: I know PF doesn't guarantee an approval.. but do you know of any case where I-360 was denied after getting PF?

 

Thanks for sharing!

@BlueTiger92 Hello my dear this question you asked is a very good one.... Prima facile is not an 100percent guarantee that’s ur case would be Approved , but in my opinion I would say prima Facie is abt 70% to 75% guarantee that you qualify for ur case the remaining %30 may be covered with RFE or may not be ... it not a common thing to see who got prima facie and got denied , it exist yes , but it’s hard to find people like that becos it’s not common... so whoever get prima facie it’s a very good thing becos most of the time at the end if well followed up u always get approved.. that also dosent mean that if u don’t have prima facie u would not be approved... that’s my little contribution

Hi dear friends ,

There is something  about my case that is making me feel really concerned. I dated my abuser for 8 months and got pregnant after that. During all this time he was married. On our first date he told me was married but his marriage was not real and he just got married 2 months prior our first date because he wanted to help his wife to get a green card. He told me they were living like roommates. I got really upset but I believe what he said. In the begging of the relationship he was very kind and gentle with me. He helped me financially a lot and was always with me. I really thought he had a good heart. We were dating I truly believed on him. We rented a place together after 6 months. He had his interview for green card with his ex wife when we’re dating and she got her temporary green card. Right after we found out I was pregnant he started his divorced proceedings. When our baby born we got married. In the the end I found out that his marriage was real. He was cheating her like he did with me. He has a pattern : his ex wife, his new lover and I are from the same country and city! I found out he would lie about everything in his life and when I confronted him he became very abusive. It’s was a completely nightmare. I suffered physical abuse but the mental abuse is worse. We are still married because he doesn’t want to get divorce and he is always using ou baby to manipulate me. He is a very wealth and powerful person and get divorce with a baby it’s very complicated. He lives in another state but he comes home almost every weekend. That is how he can keep his double life. Every time I try to get divorce he threatens me saying he will take our baby from me and nobody will believe on me because he give us a very high end life.All I want is to protect my baby.  
I wrote everything on my affidavit everything but I’m very concerned if they will believe on my story. What do you guys think? 

Please be careful how you tell uscius that he lied to you his marriage was not real and told you they lived like roommates. And you only dated him because you believed  him. I dont doubt that abusers can use all tactics they can to lure many women to their worlds but you have to be careful that uscius wont consinder you as supporting immigration fraud. I don't meant that's what you intended to do. I  know love is blind sometimes but this could make uscius question your character. Even If his relation turned to be real. The fact that you decided to date and marry someone who told you they were legally married to another for greencard can damage your reputation. Even though you though you say you fell for his honesty. All in all this can be used against you. Be careful and when telling your story make sure it doesnt sound as if you were in support of what you believed he was doing.

I dont judge you. I know love is blind but uscius might not think of it that way. I am in deep myself because I didnt see the red flags until it was too late. I lost my pregnancy and got injuries I have to live with all my life.  Your situation sounds abit scary. If I were you I would consult a lawyer so that you dont enter up giving information which might be used against you. I think whatever you went through  can be portrayed in a way which doesnt damage your reputation. But seek legal help. 

I am not familiar with USA laws so I might be wrong. I stand to be corrected. This message is send with positivity. Not to accuse you but to make you realise how this can be easily turned against you. We are a family here and I would hate to see someone suffer. All the best to you. Wish you well.

Thank you for your opinion about my situation. My concern is exactly what you mention: USCIS  think I was supporting his “fraudulent marriage”. @sandranj please let me know what do you think about that?
