Ah make sense, If abuser spouse filed for annulment than divorce, will it consider as fraud? Or impact the VAWA case? My spouse filled Annulment even without telling me, I only got to know after it got approved. mails has been sent on wrong address.

You can. File I-360 with USCIS. Get the receipt notice. File just the form I-485 with the lockbox in Irving, TX. Get the receipt notice for that. File I-485 packet with the court. Get proof that you filed (like a stamped cover page of the packet). Take the I-485 receipt and proof that you filed with court, and file I-765 with the Chicago lockbox.

 

Though some things to consider:

1. If you are subject to a removal order you will have to reopen the proceedings before you can file I-485 with the court. If this is an in absentia order you can get it done by proving that you never got the notice. If this is not an in absentia order then you will likely have to wait until I-360 is approved so you now have a significant change in circumstances to warrant a reopening.

2. If your removal proceedings are admin closed, it's a matter of cost benefit analysis. How desperate are you to get an EAD? If very - recalendar immediately and file I-485 with the court. If not - wait until I-360 is approved before you go around poking this bear. This way if the I-360 is denied you can regroup and retry. With open proceedings the judge might not take it well that you got denied once and you're refiling.

Yes... so no surety they you will get an EAD. 
 

I am not familiar with what your lawyer said so can’t say if this is correct or incorrect

If you want, you can reopen the case because it was approved by default and you didn’t know about it because notices were sent to an old address.

What do you mean by “format”?

If you’re referring to how to request a PF, then it’s simple. Just type a letter with your A# and i360 receipt number and simply say you’re requesting an extension for the PF. 
Attach a copy of the expired PF.

@Sparkle thanks for the swift response. I don't any yet. Is it possible to request for my first one?

You dont need PF unless you are wanting to apply for state assistance or enroll in school.  I only received my PF 1 time and that 6 months after I applied.

I still didn’t receive my 3rd PF . I don’t know is it normal or not 

I think it's normal. Some folks here got approved without any pf or with one pf only or two

It's Sunday, and a joke helps with approvals and case progress (correlation = causation... correlation = causation), so it's time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke*:

THE LUCKY PRIEST

 

One day, while Mitch was at the track betting on horses and losing his shirt, he noticed a priest who stepped out onto the track and blessed the forehead of one of the horses lining up for the 4th race.  Lo and behold, that horse -- a very long shot -- won the race!

 

Before the next race, as the horses began lining up, Mitch watched with interest as the old priest stepped onto the track.  Sure enough, as the horses came to the starting gate, the priest made a blessing on the forehead of one of the horses.

 

Mitch made a beeline for the betting window and placed a small bet on the horse.  Again, even though it was another long shot, the horse that the priest had blessed won the race.  Mitch collected his winnings, and anxiously waited to see which horse the priest would bless for the 6th race.  The priest again blessed a horse, Mitch bet big on it, and it won.

 

Mitch was elated.  As the races continued, the priest kept blessing long-shot horses, and each one ended up coming in first.  By and by, Mitch was pulling in some serious money.  By the last race, he knew that his wildest dreams were going to come true.  He made a quick dash to the ATM, withdrew all his savings, and awaited the priest's blessing that would tell him which horse to bet on.

 

True to his pattern, the priest stepped onto the track for the last race and blessed the forehead of an old nag that was the longest shot of the day.  Mitch also saw the priest blessing the eyes, ears, and hooves of the old nag.

 

Mitch knew that he had a winner and bet every cent that he owned on the old nag.  He then watched, dumbfounded, as the old nag came in dead last.  In a state of shock, he made his way down to the track where the priest was.

 

Confronting the priest, he demanded, "Father!  What happened?!  All day long, you blessed horses and they all won.  Then, in the last race, the horse that you blessed lost by a Kentucky mile.  Now, thanks to you, I've lost every cent of my savings -- ALL of it!"

 

The priest nodded wisely and with sympathy.  "Son," he said, "that's the problem with most people.  You can't tell the difference between a simple blessing and the Last Rites!"

Hello. I was thinking maybe somebody with IT skills could create an I-360 timeline spreadsheet so we could put dates of sending it, dates of RFEs, responding to it, dates of PF, approvals etc? I saw in other forums they have them and ppl found them very helpful.. 

 

Any one ?

Hey Jengaeco, receiving a PF shouldn’t make you sad at all..even though it doesn’t guarantee approval, not everyone gets it! The words you quoted are generic...also makes sense as you really shouldn’t expect a decision before the expiration. The good news is that you can be approved anytime regardless. I was approved back in 2019 two months after the PF was sent to me! The essence of the PF is mainly the benefits that victims of domestic violence can tap from while waiting for their cases to be adjudicated!😊👍

Did you seek the help of your congressman? What did they say? It’s really taking time I must say even though there have been instances like that!🙁

I’ve asked AOC’s help, the same generic response. Last wk, I emailed Sen. Gillibrand no response yet. I-693 notice was last year but no updates as to when I’ll send the medicals via mail or bringing it with me during interview 😩. Can’t apply to another job due to this problem😡

Gillibrand is usually very responsive.. give her this week let’s see what happens. Stay strong for your mental/psychological health. I know it’s tough but the end is beautiful!😊👍
