VAWA, Part 23

[Vale1 93]

Hello all, my vawa is approved and on the EAD CARD that I received c31 I read:”use this tearoff to spid up your renewal or application”. What this mean? Can I have an infopass appointment? I really want to go in my home country after 7 years and still my advance parole is pending.

Since when your AP is pending? If you have pending I-485 then usual AP is taking 5 to 7 months now. 

Yes you can make an infopass if you have an emergency then take all the documents with you they will give to advance parole.

I wouldn't use it because there are some incriminating statements in there. Like,  " I asked officer why he left his post. He replied that his wife is taking his money and not doing what she said would do"

 

This is the WORST, " I had him explain the situation and officer stated that she accepted money from him to marry him"

 

That's my take on it. 

 

You told your supervisor  that you paid your wife to marry you for papers.You are screwed.

Hi everyone 

my vawa was approved in April 2021. It was filed in August 2019 along with i485 and i765 too. It’s been almost 4 months but my i485 still doesn’t show any update. It still says case was received. I never got update for transfer or for any RFE either.i have seen people been asked for some kind of documents or update after their vawa approval, but I haven’t heard anything yet. Should i be worried?

You are good, don't worry about it.

hello dear community, please help me with this question: my vawa was appproved on march 2020, sent i485 on dec 2018, I dont know if my processing office is queens or manhattan, I live in Queens, 

should I be looking at i485 processing times queens, manhattan or or St Vermont albans?

are the uscis processing times on their website accurate to reality?

I found out it’s usually zoned by zip code. You might want to check it out…👍

@Weldonboy I’ve seen both your personal message and public post here.. so far all that has responded are right! That narrative from your supervisor or whoever that was, is not in your favor! That document will not help! At all! Please don’t handle this by yourself, you should get an attorney to see how they can help! For now it’s a hot mess! 👎

Good morning , Please do i need to include my pay stub and W2s for completing I-864W? or all i need to do is to fill the form and that is it . @Stillwinning!!!😊 @sandranj or anyone who knows .  Thank you very much . 

Hey dear you do not have to worry about submitting I-864w. It’s not required. I took mine with me to my interview and returned with it. It wasn’t requested.👍

If you travel to get a  stamp of your H1B they will deny your H1B  because you have a pending VAWA. You are a potential immigrant and the Consulate should deny the visa to all potential immigrant.Listen to your attorney. If you get the H1B visa stamped you must enter using the H1B and not the advance parole.

 

You don't need to submit your W2.

Not sure if this makes sense, @Sandranj. Wouldn't that make it impossible for anyone with an approved employment based i140 or pending i485 to renew their H1B through consular processing? By your statement you are advising against traveling to get H1B consular processing while I360 is pending, correct? Would you be able to quote section of immigration law on which you base your opinion? Also, would the consular processing of H1B have a better chance of being approved in case of denial of i360?  I'm talking about i-360 denial where USCIS does not suspect any fraud, and there are no removal proceedings initiated.

H-1B is what's known as a dual intent visa. It's the one of the few visas where you are permitted to have immigrant intent at any point including during entry. In regards to the other part, unless you plan to travel I'd just renew it domestically and have USCIS issue you a new I-94 because it's less hassle and you only have to deal with 1 agency. Other than that, a denial of I-360 if there's no suspicion of fraud should not adversely affect you.

Apparently I-864W is a thing again and I was surprised myself. From I-485 instructions:

NOTE: VAWA-based applicants for adjustment of status are exempt from Affidavit of Support requirements; however, each applicant must include Form I-864W with the adjustment application.
