wow! that would be very great if court can do so. I still feel like that I need an attorney,because there is a activity warrant of arrest order on me. I worry the police officer would arrest me at the place.  Thank you very much for your advice! it makes me see the hopes. 

That’s why you need to go to the court before they arrest you, usually they will not come looking for you, unless  they pulled you over by driving mistakes like fail to stop for stop sign or red light, things like that, and if they check your ID , they gonna see everything, they will then arrest you for arrest warrant, they gonna lock you up for one day and you gonna see a judge, the judge will give another court date or maybe finish your case the same day, but you can do what’s best for you. But you can also go to court in your current state, it will be easier for you.

Hello everyone, 

My i360 approved before pandemic ,but I just found out that It was never transferred from Vermont . They state that the case is going through security check and not ready for a decision for i485? Is it the background check? Do you know how long approx it can take ? @sandranj do you know what the cause of such delay . I read in the previous parts that security check can take up to 2 years . Is it the same one as the background check ? Thank you so much for your time everyone 

The security check is to identify criminals , fraud ,terrorists.The background check can take weeks,months and even years.

I sent the AR11 because I know how messy USCIS is. I filled the 485 as required, old address, new address etc, etc. Then I tossed in the AR11 just to help catch their attention to my change of address even though I knew it was not required. Well, it didn't help they messed up anyway.

 

I have just the one 485 no multiples. The  one I filed earlier was rejected so am starting over. 

Follow the Law  not what you think.It was unnecessary to file form AR11.

Dear VJ family

    Good evening. I am facing a seriously big problem of the RFE from USCIS after AOS interview. I really need advice if any one of you have experience of it. 

 

I went to AOS interview on 10/15, it was went well. IO asked me if I went to the court/or any arrested. I answered that I did went to court so many times for divorce, child support /child custody cases but never got  arrested.  He gave me a paper that marked as "your application/petition has been recommended to approval. "since then I haven't heard anything from USCIS and my immigration attorney says my case more likely getting approval . 

     

on 11/13, I received a letter from USCIS and requesting more evidences of  a domestic battery charge/ and warrant of arrest. dead line is 1/31/21. 

     

I was very shocked and surprised because I never do anything harms anyone else. then I started to used information that USCIS gave to me on letter and researched on mycase.gov and find out there is a active case pending. it is a criminal misdemeanor charge. one order of protection, warrant of arrest and domestic battery charge on me back on 2013 in one state that I have been lived less than 3 years.  I never knew about this case and promise that I never hurt anyone else. I never received any notices from court about this case, too. I also got one time pulled over by the police for the speeding ticket, but police did not put me in jail by this arrest warrant so I really did not know about this case. 

   

  I quickly looking for the criminal lawyers in that state, and they found out that was the case by one guy who I dated for a short time  and broken up with him , he claimed this case.  there was no any court hearings about this case. 

   

few attorneys called the different prices for this case. mostly called $1500 or $2500 ,but they said can not guarantee the court dismiss this case and clear my criminal records for it has been so many years and already is  court ordered.  only one attorney called $7500 and said he able to get this case dismissed and expunged so it will not show up on my record. 

 

     My questions are as below. 

 

1. I  answered that I never got arrested to IO on AOS interview.  is this will cause a problem ? I am a good and honest person, I did not know about this case until received RFE letter from USCIS.  I got no criminal records from my home country, the states where I lived more than 3years, only this state where I lived was less than 3 years and I thought it will not need no criminal record from it. if I know about this case earlier I would find an attorney to take care of this case before interview for sure. 

 

2. how many chance that I can dismiss this case and clear my record once court ordered domestic battery charge on me back in 2013, and there is a active warrant of arrest, a order of protection on me too. 

 

3. which attorney should i hire to help with my case?  Or any one of you know a responsible and trustful criminal attorney in IN recommend to me please. 

 

4. does my GC application will get denied if this case could not get dismissed? 

 

 

Any advices are welcome and please to help me with this big issue, please. Thank you all. 

You need an amazing criminal attorney to handle your criminal case. Get ready it will not be easy.

You must have your case dismissed in order to have your green card approved. Your case MUST BE dismissed ON THE MERITS,otherwise your green card won’t be approved.

 

Make sure that your criminal attorney knows that  you NEED  the  dismissal ON THE MERITS.I am not going to explain here about criminal law because this thread is for Vawa cases.

I just got VAWA approval but just wondering how long is waiting till decision on I-485 will be done? 
Guys. Who got their GC recently for how long were you waiting?

Thanks!

I still can’t believe that it’s been 1 year and 7 months already since I applied for VAWA.

I was desperate looking for a job so to be honest I FORGOT THAT IM IN THE IMMIGRATION PROCESS. 😱

I swear. I got up one day just recently and was like “OMG I’m waiting  for the VAWA”

I guess sometimes it’s really very helpful to switch the focus. 
Guys! I’m holding 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for each of you! Patience. And peace in your mind. 
It will come one day! It will! 🌼

 

It can take 6 months to 14 months.Check Uscis timeline .

Dear @sandranj can you please advice me i'm really worried. My WAVA has been approved more than 1 year and still no AOS notice from USCIS, when i asked my attorney to please check the status of my I-485 she said that this is not an emergency and just to wait and i quote " don't bother me with stuff that isn't important i'm to busy to deal with that i have send the a letter in September of 2019 to transfer your case to the local office so thats all i can do for now"   I'm so sorry for asking for assistance but i'm afraid that she is taking advantage of me since she knows i don't make much. Please can you advice ? 

 

Thank you for everything you do. ❤️

My own case has not even been approved ..all I do is to take my mind off everything and live my normal life ,I dnt let immigration stuffs to get over me ..I’m living my life ..whether you have green card or not ..what matters is peace of mind and last time I check not everybody that have green card or USA passport is happy ..have never been so over worried about immigration stuffs ..I believe what will be will be ..I live my life and enjoy myself ..after 24 months Uscis sent me RFE ,they thought that would break me lol ..but am still strong ..always remember that the aim of the immigration is to make y’all lives depressed .most officers dnt want immigrants to have peace of mind. So far your case is with them they believe you can think straight but on my own case I dnt care ..I’m living large and extremely great ..whether I have the green card or not ..Uscis dnt want you to be happy ..just know that ..take off your mind from it and hope for the best ..what will be will be ..right now am In the movies enjoying my life 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..all I know is that I will never ever be bothered about uscis drama 🤣🤣🤣 ..

I am sorry but your assumption is unfair that immigration is to make your life depressed  and that some immigration officers don’t want Vawa filers to have peace of mind. 
 

 We have  laws here that protect those suffering domestic violence, and we have well-trained immigrations officers as well.

 

Majority  of countries  don’t have laws allowing  a foreign person to obtain permanent residence because they suffered abuse.The only person responsible for your depression and abuse is the abuser and not the system created to protect you!

You don’t need layer for this kind of case. The fastest way to do this, is to go to that state court and let them know you have no idea of pending case, they will get you another court date or maybe finish your case the same day.don’t wait do it now.

Are you kidding ? Of course she needs an attorney, a GOOD criminal attorney .
