Hi guys, 

 

Do they request Tax returns at the AOS interview? Just curious. 

And also, if  I send a form AR-11 to Vermont, will they redirect it to my local field office where my file is? 

 

Thanks!

Hello...

I have some questions about Vawa, I hope someone can clarify for me.

 

1) my prima facie expires on March 19th, 2020. Do They send automatically the extension or I should file something for it to be extended?

 

2) my Work permit Is till May 9,2020, it is under C09 (even though it came after my prima facie, I don’t know why they did it with this category, or it is normal?) When do I need to file for extension? Last time I filed for extension it took almost 10 months to get the card

 

3) I am in Community college in NYC, I filled out Fafsa, and today I got a letter that I received some scholarship from my college and also TAP grant. Is it safe to accept those awards? Can it be dangerous for my vawa case? I heard that USCIS doesn’t like people using governmental financial aid... 

 

If anyone can help me and reassure or warn me, please, I would really appreciate!

 

For number 3 - Yes you can accept financial aid as a VAWA petitioner. It is very fine and is not or will affect your case. I did and I am graduating in May for my Masters.

They may or they may not since we filled out the affidavit of support exemption with I-864W, but if you have your tax return just take it in case they may ask, officer sometimes ask for everything. 

Regarding the change of address, you must input your cases on the AR-11 form but since Vermont is messy with the address change I suggest you to sent it with cover letter, and make an infopass to verify the change or make the inquiry thru your congressman to make sure the change was made.

I just called USCIS for an inforpass.. turns out they do have my current address ( I changed it through my congressman) 

I inquired about my case through congressman since they didn't reply my birth certificate RFE for 3 months. The case is at the local field office but they replied the following: 

 

Good Morning Congressman Deutch,

 

 Thank you for contacting the West Palm Beach Field Office Liaison.  I conducted a review of the case and found the following: 

 

The applicant’s file is located in our office, but there is no AR-11 / Change of Address form on file, for her most current address.

 

Can you ask the applicant to file an AR-11, reflecting her current address?

 

We hope the information provided is helpful. 

 

Thank you again for contacting the West Palm Beach Field Liaison.  If you should have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me.

 

Sincerely,

This is why I'm not sure if to file to Vermont... I have a feeling they won't forward the form to my local office. I will send it anyway and go to infopass.

 

Thanks again

This is happening because the Automatic extension start the date after your EAD expires not a day or week before, so you have to go after it expires so the extension will be in effect and it will be show on the system.  

Hello FeDaniela, just want to clarify automatic extension of EAD will reflect at the DMV office? I don't understand. Thank you.

You experience also happen to me, I went to the DMV with my Receipt which represent my 180 days extension, but in the system was not shown because it comes in effect once your EAD expires. So the supervisor told me come 2 o 3 days after expiration date so the extension is in effect and shown in our system.

It is not my experience yet but I am anticipating the same scenario come May 2020 when my EAD expires and my driver's license as well. I got confused a little bit. I didn't know that DMV will be notified by USCIS of the automatic extension. I thought I have to present something to them to renew my driver's license.

 

I just sent my EAD renewal today and waiting for the receipt letter.

sorry it was @Blunt experience. Actually DMV confirms with USCIS your current status to renew or give you Driver licence.

No problem thank you for this clarification and for the prompt reply. Another question, did you experience also that the 180 days extension already expired and still no results of the i360 approval and i485. Will they extend again?
