Do you know the current location of your i485? Did you get any update about a transfer? 

I have no idea about it and I didn't receive any update about a transfer as well. My way of checking is only through online status which was recently updated when they have a receipt notice of EAD and AP renewal that I requested recently.

Thank you! It really is a maze seems like with this! I'm glad for this forum to shed some direction especially for someone like me who never got a lawyer because I can't afford it

Hi, everyone 

    I want to thankful for all of you supporting me when I need help with . Since 19 months wait .I guess my VAWA case got approved because my 360 form updated as “We ordered your new card “ yesterday, i flied it in July 2018. I did not got any notice letter yet . 

    My questions are as below .

   1. how many chance I can get green card based on approved VAWA ? I have been overstayed since 2011 . One time speed way got ticket and paid fine in time . I am receiveing food stamps on my children ‘s name and Medicaid . If these count publicly charge and will effect my AOS interview later on ?

    2. I want to go back to my home country to visit my family , do I need to pay fees for apply AP ? Or if I can have fees waiver if qualified?  

   3. Can I re entry  US with AP ?(  if I can  eligible to apply one ) does it will be big problem that I already overstated since 2011 ? I heard it will meet 10 years ban . 

    4 how long need to wait to get 360 approval letter and c 31 EAD card ?   

     Thank you all of you ! 

     Wish all of you get approved soon . It is not easy to go through this long process. 

Keep faith in GOD !  Every thing is possible in GOD’s hands ! 

 

     

    

   

    

Congratulations on your approval . Did you receive any RFE during your wait time . 
 

1. You overstaying your visa in 2011 will not affect your green card application nor upcoming green card interview neither will you or your children getting benefits in food stamp and Medicaid affect you during your green card interview . Vawa applicants are exempt from public charge rule . 
 

2. You do not need to pay for an advance parole document (form I-131) if you apply now . If you’re married or were married to one just attach your I-485 receipt when sending your application to Vermont . It worked for me that way anyway . 
 

3. As long as you have your Advance parole document on you . You will be paroled into the United States of America on arrival from your travel destination . There have been testimonies of people who have traveled and came back successfully . 
 

4 . You should get the card in about 7 business days or less . Congratulations.

Hey everyone, thank you all so much for sharing your experiences with I360, it was incredibly helpful. I filed I360 and I485 in December 2017, in August 2019 I moved from NYC to Houston. Same month I receiver ROE, responded in Sept 2019. Last week my I360 status changed to card being produced and Feb 10, 2020 it said card is being mailed. I understand it will be EAD with c31 category. I had to contact congressman and ombudsman office, cause they took 4 months after ROE submission plus processing times were past my submission date. My question is, would I be able to use congressman/ombudsman/anything else to speed up EOS interviews? Need to travel asap for personal reasons and afraid to travel before GC, even though I have AP. Thanks a lot!

They will not expedite your GC, the AP was created  to be used, then don't bother to contact them.

Someone was asking me about form i944 and advising I take it with me when I have my interview..so I looked it up..it clearly states VAWA petitioners are exempt. 👇👇👇

 

 

I-944, Declaration of Self-Sufficiency

 

Use this form to demonstrate that you are not inadmissible based on the public charge ground (INA section 212(a)(4)). You must file this form if you are filing Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, and you are subject to the public charge ground of inadmissibility. Please see the instructions for Form I-944 to see if you are subject to the public charge ground of inadmissibility. 

Certain classes of aliens (such as refugees, asylees, petitioners under the federal Violence Against Women Act, and certain T and U visa applicants) are exempt from the public charge ground of inadmissibility and therefore are not subject to the Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds final rule. For more information about the classes of aliens who are exempt from the final rule, please see the USCIS Policy Manual.  

 

The I-944 is just for those subjected to the public charge ground, because VAWA petitioners are exempt then you don't need to fill out form I-944 but form  I-864W.

It says we’re exempt from the new public charge rule . Fill it out and sign it , and take it with you to your green card interview.

My case was under:

"card is being produced" 3 hours after interview to this: 

 

 

I read someone asking about tax documents - I did not bring any since we use the form I-864w and officers aren't supposed to ask about your filing status or tax documents. But if you have them and makes you feel safer you can bring them

Hello everyone , I submitted vawa application on Aug2018 , since then I only received a Rfe regarding my attorney on file to submit a G-28 , no Prima facie or another RFE , after I submitted a FOIA request , it showed that the reason of not sending me prima facie was the officer was not sure of my good moral character , since then I submitted 3 good moral character support letters , and a police clearance , I want also to mention that I was arrested twice for domestic violence because of my abuser spouse , but on both instances state attorney declined to file any charges against me , since the accusations were bogus , and I didn't even had to go to court , my question is can I get approved without receiving prima facie first ?

I believe you can. 

I was also arrested on a DV demeanor for fight with my ex and my case was dismissed.

I got approved for a green card already on monday.  Please contact your congressman to inquire about the prima facies and make sure they received your documents - congressman is a great help. 

 

Once you are scheduled for an interview make sure you bring a certified copy of the court disposition and arrest record because the officer will ask for it. 

 

Good luck 🙏

Sorry dear..was driving. As VAWA petitioners, we are exempt from the i864 hence the waiver which is the i864w! If it's not clear let me know. But the important thing is we need to present it when we file or at the interview.👍
