You just have to wait, I had 5/7  cases the security check took 3 years.

What's exactly security check and how does that work? Are they checking our divorces with the judge/court, interviewing our ex spouses, inquire with the police, reach out to our home countries or our work places?

Did the I-360 take 3 years for approval or the i485? How often does USCIS do security check?

I don't want to wait 3 years for my case and after that for i485 more years. I was fingerprinted so many times already, have no criminal records which I send the proofs from my country and from here.

Did you go to the link?   The appeal decisions absolutely are public record.  .   Identities are kept to initials, but there is a lot one can discern about  the process used to evaluate cases, which is what the person I responded to was asking about.

AAO decisions for VAWA cases have been discussed on this thread since VAWA 10, so it is not a new discussion.  Furthermore, VAWA cases are not public record.  the AAO decisions only discuss the appeal and/or motion to reopen cases related to VAWA cases and a majoirity of the information is redacted.  You cannot see the actual case record, cannot read approved cases, and the only discussion is related to the NOID and nothing else, so again VAWA cases which are protected cases are not public records.

Do Vawa files become a public record at some point of our lives?

Never - they are protected cases.  When you file VAWA, you are flagged as a protected case, and anything you file after that is considered a protected case.

I meant will these vawa information and files be available to the public at one point of our lives?

You can always do a FOIA request for your case record.

Can someone else other than the petitioner or legal representative request it? Like the spouse or other individuals?

If (and I'm not sure about this) it's like petitions and visa applications, it can also involve the national security agencies, and, if so, that process is opaque.  No one knows which agency is looking at "what," and no one can offer a time frame for completion.  In fact, one agency's approval can expire if another agency's investigation takes too long, and the first approval will have to be redone.

 

I strongly doubt that ex-spouses would be interviewed.

 

===> If any of the above is incorrect in relation to VAWA, Sandra or another knowledgeable member will post accurate information, and you have my apology.
