VAWA, Part 24

[vawa2018 11]

@sandranj did you ever deal with VAWA revocation with your clients and if yes, what were the reasons for it? Thanks.

Hi all! I got an update saying I was approved for my I-131, Application for Travel Document and that they sent an approval notice. Is this notice the actual Advance Parole document or will that come later? 

 

Also, whenever I do get it, can I travel with just my passport? My ead work authorisation card is expiring soon. Just wondering do I need that to travel also?

 

Thanks

The trick is simple. Search for doctors who will accept insurance and bill your exam as annual medicals. You should have your up to date vaccinations done already then. It requires some research but they are there. Which city and state are you in? I can try searching for you. 

Aww you're so sweet! I live in Los Angeles, my zip code is 90010 

 Thank you in advance!

Hi Fam! What are other ways to get a copy of the interview notice or just to know your schedule? I have sent VSC a letter about my address change, also did it online, reached out to my senator and district representative, called the USCIS hotline (obviously they couldn’t give me any info but i still tried). It’s been 2 weeks since USCIS sent me my interview notice and I’m really getting anxious now, I dont want to miss my interview. I’ve waited too long for this 😩😩😩 Any help pls???  @sandranj

My interview apparently was scheduled on October 19th, I'm still waiting for the notice....  But yeah 2 weeks seems a bit long, but also I think all the shipping services are backed up? Hmmm I would say keep on calling, keep on trying to contact someone  Is there anyway you can contact people who live at your previous address?

No you can not travel with approval notice.

If you only apply for the i-131 then you will get paper base AP which will have your picture on the bottom left side.

 

if your combo card approved then you will get a card like EAD.

 

You do not need to EAD to travel unless EAD itself serve as Ap. 

If your EAD is separate then you just need your AP and passport.

My interview was scheduled on Oct. 15, so yeah 2 weeks this Friday. I’m also checking my previous address but they didn’t get anything and my lawyer’s office didn’t get anything too 😓 called my district rep and senator again this morning and they sent another inquiry. I also called USCIS again this morning and requested for an infopass. They just gave me a service info number and said somebody is going to call me back to schedule an infopass (don’t know when that will be)  Hopefully I hear something by the end of the week. I’m really getting anxious.

Usually they call within 24 to 48 hours.

 

Did they tell you which area code will show up on your caller id? 

In my case they told me.

Yup, they did. They gave me the number. Did you also make an infopass? Did you get a schedule within the week or 2?

It is Wednesday, and time for our approval-evoking, progress-prompting Semiweekly Semiofficial VAWA-Thread Joke:

===============================

BEEN THROUGH IT BEFORE

 

A weary, sweating policeman emerged from an inner room of the station.

 

"Well, did you give that thug the third degree?" asked the captain.

 

"Yeah," was the tired reply.  "Six of us kept screaming and shouting and badgering him with questions for over four hours."

 

"And what did you get out of him?" asked the captain eagerly.

 

"Nothing," said the policeman disgustedly.  "All he did was doze off and from time to time murmur, 'Yes, dear.  You're right, dear.'"

That "calling back by USCIS" is hoax, they have lied to me twice about "calling back" to give me date for an infopass.

 

But hey, they might call you, each case and scenarios are different.

Not really relying on it but they’re unpredictable, so who knows?! 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ll keep calling my district rep though. Thanks!

Good morning VJ family. Pls I have some questions.

1. I just noticed that on my I 360, my lawyer filled in my new passport number instead of the old one in the question that asked for passport number used at arrival. Though she submitted both my old and new passport data page. Hope that won’t be a problem?
 

2. In I 485 for my kids, in part 2 (1a) do I also click on Vawa self petitioner I 360 for my kids? Or I don’t answer at all?
 

3. I also noticed that on my biometrics notice I have uscis A#. I guess I’m to fill that in all I 485 pages for me.

 

4. In the past, I used public housing. The question that asked if I violated my visa rules, do I say yes or no? Also the question that asked if I used public benefit, do I say yes or no?

 

5. On the I 765 form, where it asked for the category of work permit, do I put 

(1)(c)(9) or I just put (c)(9) 

@sandranj @Demise @shiva32 I’ll really appreciate your response. Thank you all.

I see, hopefully you receive the notice soon! 

Do you know how long does it usually take to receive the notice? 

Also, do you know how much time in advance they schedule the interview? Is it like 4-6 weeks?

Hi everyone,

Please is it normal for USCIS official not to see your information when you call to make an inquiry on your I-360? They always ask me to write to Vermont. Please is there any other way I can reach them? Its been two months now haven't gotten any update from the senator's office. Can I go through another congress person while I already put in an inquiry through the senator's office?
