once you vawa is approved you will get the c31. Meantime you can renew as c09 if you have pending i-485.

 

if i were you i would not send the new application. just reach out to your senator/congressperson if you case is out for normal processing time. 

 

Hi Balo101,

 

Thank you for responding. So I did not need another form i765 for my i360 case? I don't need to send one at all since I will get the ead c31 automatically after VAWA approval?

did you check the box that asked for if you need EAD? if you did then they will send you a c31 once Vawa approved. If not you can always apply for c31 after the vawa approval.

For your mom and siblings you can start applying when you are a US citiZen, as far as I know.

Hello everyone,

When you have the I485 interview after the I360 is approved, will they expect you to show them your own address separate from abuser? If money is tight and spouse still needs to see your shared children, how do you explain the contact you still have with them?

It varies, I did not get my first PF until 6 months after I sent petition in.  

Thank you - How did you renew EAD ? Did you renew online or need to send letter to the VT office ? How many days before expirations we can send the renewal request?

One Quick question.

 How did you renew EAD ? Did you renew online or need to send letter to the VT office ? How many days before expirations we can send the renewal request when the I360 form status showing Fees waived?

[Aadi135 68]

Sorry for the silly question. Let me give little background before asking question. 

 

May 2020-VAWA. 

May 2020-1st RFE, GM,  Responded in June 2020. 

October 2020 PF-Missed due to address change. got to know by congressmen they sent one. 

November-2020- I-485.765.131 filed, I-131 receipt was missing so sent few communications asking for status and few mails updating address. 

March 2021- 2nd RFE. 4 page long based on my case. Responded in April 2021. 

April 2021 fingerprints for I-360 but after Fingerprints I-765 status updated and not I-360. 

April-2021 wrote letter to expedite EAD as i am on verge to lose the job. Senator raise the same concern with USCIS as well (after FP).

May 2021-Status update, Case is under initial review. 

 

1. Why their is too much of the movement on my case while others are in complete silence for 2 years? I could be wrong(most likely) but i sent too many mails to update the address, also asking for I-131, congressmen, senator, ombudsmen, I think i made them angry. I just wanted to make sure they have my correct address and I-131 with them.  

 

2. Any experience how much time it takes for initial review? I am just 12 months into process. 

 

3. I mentioned earlier, my best friend who was very vital proof of my weeding and abuse decides to blackmail me and not return money i gave him few months back when he was in need. Is it possible he did something that is causing this? 

 

Thank you everyone. stay safe and strong, god bless you all.

My lawyer did the renewal by mail to VSC

Make sure to send for renewal six months before expiration

Thank you guys for all your feedbacks about outfit for interview.

I attached a picture of my “maybe” outfit.

Ive tried to select something simple. 
But maybe it’s too much.

Im nervous. Don’t want to look not professional.

Will be grateful for the honest feedback and I will be totally not offended.

Thanks!

ITS A NO FOR ME

Joint document and names is another proof of marriage which is good for you at the interview

Was this a renewal for C09 or C31?

Hey! I just received an update from my congresswoman that my file is in transit to the local field office. I had my interview 3 months ago, VAWA approved 1 year ago. Do you know what that means?

In transit... en route to the local office to join the queue for interview! Just be patient, you’re almost there!😊👍
