Hi all. I’m new here. I came into US with F1 visa and got married to my US citizen spouse after my program in school. Few months into the marriage my spouse became abusive and was always threatening to deport me back to my country and withdraw my adjustment of status application. The abuse was too much that we got separated and I returned back to school for my postgraduate studies. Then I got a letter that  the i485 was denied because he withdrew i130 saying the marriage was fraud. People aware of my situation asked me to file vawa, friends and relatives said they will give me written affidavits. Do I have to file a waiver form first or do I submit the vawa application and wait for the waiver request? Also do I file vawa only or do I file i485 with it? Please I need your advice. Thank you

Why is the 2 Prima facie. So after the first approval it gonna need a 2nd approval? 

Hey GiGi, prima facie is not an approval! It just indicates that your documents are in order or seem complete before it is properly adjudicated! You can receive prima facie up to 4 times or more before VAWA approval..it all depends on the pace of the officer and the complexity of your case! You mentioned you received a card..it has to be the C9 EAD. When your VAWA is approved, you will get the C31 card. Also an approval letter basically confirming your i360 has been approved! I hope this helps..also try to read previous threads it will help with any confusion you may have at any point!😊👍

Wow.Thank you so much still winning. I never really got a full explanation. I appreciate u. I have one last question if I did I-485 under my husband petition. Will I have to re-do it under vawa. Because under his petition I went to the interview alone but the interviewer said he would not cancel it so it’s still there like I never showed up which is what he explained so is it still valid (the I-485) or I need to send one in to vawa? My last update is a that they mailed the card to me under the i-130 receipt. Which I will receive this Monday

Let us know when you receive it! If you asked the officer to hold the i485 until your VAWA is approved, then it will still be valid and you will have no need to file a new one! From what you stated here..the officer said he won't cancel it..so my thinking is that you're good!😊👍

You're in the right place, it will be okay.😊

Hello Sandra, currently filling out the I-765 to renew my EAD. One number is asking for this:

"You Current Immigration Status or Category (for example, B-2 visitor, F-1 student, parolee, deferred action, or no status or category)"

 

Should I put what type of visa I used when I entered in the US?

If you are renewing your EAD then put "AOS PENDING".

If the IO put your AOS on hold then you don't have to refile a new I-485.

I don't understand which waiver you are talking about, you can file I-360 along with the AOS.

 

Did they  mention in the denial  that you entered into marriage to circumvent  immigration Laws? or mentioned something such as  " sham marriage" or "fraudulent marriage",if yes then you won't have your new AOS approved.
