HI Everyone! September 2018 (NYC) filer here, still no updates  Last update was on Dec 2018, which stated that they received my RFE. I emailed my Senator the other day but their response was my "case was still within normal processing time", which I don't agree with since the website says it's already processing cases filed in October 2018. I'll be calling my district representative tomorrow and see if they could help. Any advice?

@MGJ_NY I seriously cannot even believe this right now. I am now just reading your post. How is this even possible? We applied right about the same time, so I just assumed that you had received your approval notice and your C31 card. Some people who filed in 2019 have received their C31 cards. Were you able to reach your rep yesterday? You can pm me anytime ok.

Sending you positive vibes and God's infinite blessings for an instant approval, amen 🙏

Hey..it just means your interview is about to be scheduled! Don't do the medicals now until you have a date! I was about to be scheduled for quite sometime..so you don't not know how long for certain. I'll advice you get the medicals done once you are scheduled!

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing great and keeping safe. Please those who have gone through i485 process after vawa approval, what documents are they asking for initial evidence? This is what I saw yesterday when I was checking my status 

Mostly birth certificate. Let us know when you receive it.👍

Hi Everyone - hope all are well and thriving 🙂

 

I turn to the chat for another advice - now, less process oriented and more life in general.

 

I have already hired a VAWA lawyer and collected most of the documentation. Before I even started the process I tried to flee away and applied to transfer through work to Canada. They just got back to me and offered a position. (It's more responsibilities and lower pay). I have never been to Toronto and lived in the US for the last 9 years. It seems like a decent option but also I would be tied to this particular employer and the job I don't like for unknown amount of time. Here, I wanted to switch to something different once I file and get my EAD.

 

What do you guys think? I was wondering if I could file Vawa and leave to go there until it gets approved (hopefully) and then return back. Is i-360 a visa itself? Would it allow re-entry? Can I enter US after I leave and before i-360 approved (assuming I apply for another visa). If I don't file i-360 and leave, I'm scared the abuser will tell whatever he wants to USCIS and I won't have any protection to ever come back.

 

What would you do?

What's up fellow VAWA Petitioners! Happy Friday to you all!
Can you please tell me if you have seen any recent April 2019 approvals ?

I-360 is not a visa in itself. You can do consular processing after it's approved but basically either you needed to maintain some kind of legal presence and have less than 180 days of unlawful presence, or you need to demonstrate that your unlawful entry or overstay was somehow connected to your abuse. Otherwise you'd need an I-601 like everyone else and to get that you have to prove that your absence from US would cause extreme hardship to a USC/LPR Spouse (obviously not the same spouse), Parent, or Child.

I wouldn’t leave US at all.

Write your U.S. Congressman's office or U.S. Senator's office.  After you fill out their release form, they'll be able to learn answers for you.
