Sharing my timeline....

 

May 28, 2019 - Receipt Date
July 22, 2019  - PF Sent
Dec  23, 2020 - 2nd PF sent
Apr  08, 2021  - RFE Good Moral sent
May 04, 2021 -  RFE Received
May 26, 2021 - CARD IS BEING PRODUCED 

 

2 years ago, I was lost, confused, and miserable.  I can't drive, can't have friends,  can't work, phone destroyed and every aspect of my life is controlled.  Everyday I was walking on eggshells,  afraid to do or say something that will "trigger the beast". I decided to walk away and be free.

 

Today, I have my own car, have a full time job, have friends, and the most important thing - I'm no longer in an abusive relationship. I'm in a good emotional,  physical, and mental state. God is good! To everyone still waiting, be patient. Your time will come. Thanks to everyone in this page who have been a great help in my journey.  I found comfort in reading success stories waiting for my day to come. Hoping for more approval soon!!!

 

To God be the glory!!!!! ❤

 

Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉

What does your VAWA status shows right now? did they mail your card or we approve your form i-360?

when did you send i-485 and work permit?

Did you send fee wavier form or money/ check for i-485?

I sent my I -485 about 3 weeks ago. Immediately after I found out my vawa has been approved. I did not send any kind of payment because I was under the impression that that since I’m now filing the I-485 to be alongside my approved. Vawa application. I was not required to send a filing  fee. Am I wrong with that assumption?

unfortunately, yes you were wrong with that assumption that it would be free.

You either need to pay for i-485 or need to send fee wavier? 

Let's say if you pay for i-485 then your i-765 (c09) and i-131 (AP) would be free until you get your green card.

My VAWA has been approved for 54 day and counting, sigh but I still haven’t received my work ( I did select YES ). There was a mix up with my current mailing address. I wrote Vermont about 3 ago…  still waiting but I sent my I-485 and work permit with approved notice from the USCIS website 

If you send a new form I-485 and I-765 after vawa approval you must pay or attach your package with fee waiver and send it to VSC

What I’m concerned about at this moment is really my work permit that was issued with approved vawa .  How long does but usually take for the to resend it to me again? Btw I already updated my present address? So how long???

For that I don’t know, try info pass again and again and again till you reach out to someone for info pass appointment, that’s the best

does someone who knows legal point me to legal sections where it says  that USCIS has to renew your EAD as long as your 485 is pending (based on 360) ?

USCIS basic to renew EAD: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/employment-authorization-document If you have a pending I-485 you are able to renew.

I thought VAWA is FREE ? So why would I have to pay a fee or send a fee waiver . 
Shouldn’t the approval letter from my I-360/ VAWA be enough 

There is a fee for every petition that you file.  You do have the option to use a fee waiver if you cannot afford the fees.

yes without the payment, they will send your paperwork back to you.
