VAWA, Part 21

[TBoneTX 45,312]

We need more approvals, so here is another joke:

 

SQUIRRELS IN THE CHURCH

 

The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation.  After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and that they should not interfere with God's will.

 

At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistry.  The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide in the baptistry and let the squirrels drown themselves.  The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the next week.

 

The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creatures, so they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church.  Two weeks later, the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down their water-slide.

 

The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path.  They set out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning.  They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.

 

But the Catholic church came up with an even more creative strategy -- they baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church.  Now they see them only at Christmas and Easter.

 

Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue.  They took the first squirrel and circumcised him.  They haven't seen a squirrel since.

UPDATE:

My interview has been scheduled, finally. I have contacted my congresswoman and I just got the mail that they scheduled my interview for February 18th, but I never received letter in the mail. I also changed my address with USCIS in November and I have mail forwarding to my new place. Now I am worried that the letter is lost somewhere, so how can I know the exact date and time for my interview?

Let's look at it this way if you're approved without an interview it means there's really no problem! People are generally more concerned about crimes of moral turpitude.. you really shouldn't worry too much about a citation for traffic and for your second question the officer is not supposed to discuss the i360 which has already been adjudicated and approved but some of them just get overzealous you can choose to go through it with them or politely decline!👍

Thank you @Stillwinning!!!😊

totally agree with you! I think it should be fine too but I mean can it cause issues with citizenship later? It doesn't matter much but just wondering what happens in cases where people get approved without interview and there's minor changes on the form required. happy to hear your thoughts

 

second: should one correct typos/errors on the vawa affidavit in the i-485 interview or just let it go because its approved?

Correct anything at your interview.. again if you are approved without interview it likely won't affect citizenship!👍

Anybody got some resources on terminating removal proceedings these days? I've been digging but a lot of stuff is pretty outdated.

Good Afternoon ,

 

I am preparing my documents to refile my I-485 again  based on approved I-360. I am sharing the documents to check if I missed anything in the list  :

1. Form I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864 Waiver , medical report I-693, 

2. Supporting Documents : I-360 approval letter, 2 photos , Copy of passport, birth-certificate, id card , I-94, marriage certificate and divorce certificate . 

 

Besides that I have few questions : 

1. I do not have any criminal record like felony or arrest  . Do I need to get police clearance from my current  place  ? I contacted to the police station . They said they take 3 months to process it and mail it because of Corona .  Need a possible solution as I want to apply I-485 faster . 

2. Should I use the Alien number in any form ? My previous I -485 is denied . So I am not sure if the  alien number is valid or not  .

3. And will I go through the biometric again as I am gonna refile I-485 ?

4. Should I include any information like reason about previous denial ?

 

 

Thanks everyone .

Thank you!
I reached out to my congresswoman and got reply within 30 minutes, she sent me exact interview date, time and location! So relieved now!

She didn't send me full letter though, so I can't see which supporting documents should I bring to the interview, would anyone please share their experience for the required documentation? 

Also, it wouldn't be an issue if I just show them interview notice letter on my phone once I show up there, would it?

I’m confused here. Is this rule for VAWA based GC holders or for those that got their GC via marriage and later divorced?

You obtained the green card through VAWA because you were married to a U.S Citizen or to a GC holder.There are several decisions  by the Board of Immigration about this matter.

 

Don't forget the Immigration Law about the 5 years rule  was enacted in 1990 and the Vawa Law in  1994,but I  don't have time to explain how it works the Law.
