Hi Sandranj, I have the issue. My AOS interview is on Monday and I am in the process of putting documentation together to file VAWA. The issue is that I will not be able to file my VAWA application in time. It is too late now. Should I go to the AOS alone and plead that my AOS should remain pending?

Yes .You must attend the inteview. Tell the officer that you will file VAWA,and ask him to put on holder your AOS.

Good day VJ Family I’m so sorry to bother you but what are the chances of someone that attends their AOS interview and get deported Tom the spot or ICE agents coming and deporting you even when your VAWA application is approve and you are just waiting on your AOS interview. I apologizes for the stupid questions but it is the fear that was put in me by my abuser. When he was saying I’m the only thing that allowed you to be here now I will send ice agents to chance you and to deport you and even when you attend your interview they will be there waiting for you. 
 

im so sorry for asking. 

It doesn't exist what your abuser is saying. Don't worry about it. You should not have any contact with your spouse anymore.Cut all ties.When your VAWA was approved the USCIS issued you " deferred action", it means they can't initiate removal proceedings.

Please don't be sorry, it is a valid fear than many of us have. That being said, since you get a deferred action note after VAWA approval the chances of them seeking you out or deporting you at the interview are very very very low. The only thing that can be of issue here is if now or in the part you committed a serious crime (not just a speeding ticket, a serious one).

The chance to initiate removal with deferred action issued is NONE.

Hello. It will be 3 years since filing my VAWA case, my receipt date is February 5, 2018, and my most recent prima facile expires on March 7th. Who are good South Florida representatives to get help from? I have asked the office of Congressman Hastings but USCIS has not been forthcoming with that office. My daughters and I haven’t had a work permit since 2017, which has made life very difficult for us and I just do not understand why they haven’t made a decision. This is all very frustrating for us. Also, is anyone able to help me write a personal letter of inquiry to USCIS? I did the online inquiry tool and heard nothing from that as well. 

Why  don't you have a work permit?

Hi, I am glad this forum exists to help guide people like me on steps to take towards finding a solution to my situation. I am in the process of filing the VAWA , but I do not know what documents to provide as evidence to support my case.

 

I have lived in US for 5 years and I have been married for a little over a year. We got married in 2019 and filed the I-485 in 2019. My marriage has been difficult and in shambles for the longest time. My Green Card interview is on Monday. But things have been so bad between us... I do not know where my husband is and I am homeless at the moment. 

 

I made up my mind this week to file the VAWA, but I do not know how to go about initiating the process and the documentation to provide as evidence. Also, my husband and I have limited documentation together. The only documents with both our names on it is our Marriage License and the 2019 tax document.

 

Is there anyone who can guide me in regards to documents to provide in support of my application? Also, what should I expect for 'No Show' interview status? In addition to that, can I possibly use a P.O. Box to get my letters pending when I have a physical address? Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

You need to attend therapy at least 5/7 sessions and have a psychological evaluation done. If you have a diagnose of depression and/or PTSD then you can prove abuse. I had several cases approved with zero commingling finances. Get police clearance from al places that you resided for more than 6 months in the past 3 years.When you have these documents ready let me know and I will help you  at no cost (I am an attorney), but I need to be convinced that you have a VAWA case tho.

Hello I was reading below given content. How true is it?

 

If you ask them to put the i485 on hold or abeyance,you would not be able to renew the COMBO CARD until after the Vawa is approved between 18-22months but would not be put on deportation process if it gets denied for any reason even though the i485 would be denied

This information is wrong, as long your I-485 is pending you can apply for work permit and advance parole.The rule not to deport someone if the I-485 is denied is not valid anymore.

@sandranj I talk to my attorney today she told me that’s exactly what She did but I don’t think is true My question is this is the best way to resolve and I can still ask the Ice duty Attorney ?

Thank you 

The best way is to file the motion jointly.But you can't file again if she filed already.Ask her a copy of the motion.

Why  don't you have a work permit?

Did not have enough money to pay for the I-485 and I-765 based on a pending I-485. There’s a lot I did not, and still don’t, understand about the process and my lawyer is not much help.

C31 EAD doesn't come as a combo, so parole will always be processed separately and arrive as a paper rather than card. Was your spouse a US citizen or a gc holder? If he/she was a citizen then you should submit another EAD application and put a category C09. It is free of charge and you can have it while you wait for VAWA approval. If he/she's a gc holder then yeah you can receive paper parole and wait for C31 EAD after VAWA approval.

Am  about to submit a new I-765 (C9) (my spouse is a USC. I have the following documents ready;

1. I-765 category C9 ( what is the correct category C(09) or C(9)

2. I-912 - fee waiver form ( I got a waiver for it the first time and it was noted on the I-485 receipt. 

3. copy of the receipt - I-485 Pending

 

please house, particularly members who filed recently, what are the other documents I need to submit with the above.

 

do I need passport photographs and also copy of ID?
 

You kind assistance is urgently needed. Please note that the first I- 765 (C31) was done by my attorney.  Since she has refused to file the one based on C9, I decided to do it myself. 

Thanks.

Thank you @Engineering-rocks I always think of the worst that may or may not happen and just because of what happen in the past and the bad exp. with my attorney thats why i always have that fear hope everything works out because if they decide to genie me or deport me i have nowhere else to go all the people that care about me are here. and maybe thats why he was putting all that fear in me my saying if i don't listen and do as he says i will suffer the consequences

You do not have any reason to fear.. you're not a criminal or are you?😏 you just go to your interview and you'll get approved as long as your i360 is approved you're good. Although I understand the reason why your mind is doing overtime.. you have been emotionally abused and psychologically so.. I don't blame you time heals all hopefully!🙏

Thank you @Stillwinning!!!😊you are the kindness person i know and your words are always such a blessing and full with hope and positivity. The only concerns that i have is that citation that is taken care of and the issue with the wrong DOB on my marriage certificate and that i wont be able to fix it on time since the marriage bureau is closed until good knows when. The reason why i didn't know about is that when i run away from my ex he toke all our joint documents and my personal once and shredded to pieces. But i hope that the IO will understand.

I have one question is the deferred action permanent and what does it actually means when someone has a deferred action, i apologizes for the stupid question

deferred action

In general, deferred action means that a case will be looked at or resolved later, rather than now.  As Sandra has said, when your VAWA was approved, the USCIS issued you deferred action, meaning that they can't initiate removal proceedings.  You can stop worrying about being removed.
