I didnt have / file any police report. Got approved in 24 months (see my timeline below if it helps), no RFE. Please google VAWA evidentiary standards to get a better idea. 

What kinds of your evidence did you send if you don’t mind

Hello everyone,
I need to ask a question regarding the naturalization of the derivative of a vawa applicant.
I recently become an US citizen as a main applicant in a vawa petition.It's taken a while but this part is done now.
My son (20 and 1/2 years old) interviewed with uscis today - he is the (only) derivative on my approved I-360 application.  In other words we both have been approved for residency on the same vawa approval.
The problem is he's been turned down by a seemingly inexperienced officer (who never seen a similar case before) while they say he as a derivative needs to wait until the 5 year term to apply for citizenship.
Does anybody has an idea how to document combat this as it seems completely wrong to me. I am planning to resubmit and I would like to include the clearest of the documents I could get.
Thanks so much for any ideas you may have!

Congratulations on success what documents you have submitted with your naturalization application and have you submitted the same online

Send what you have. Seems adequate. Your statement needs to flow in a reasonable order. When did the relationship start, how did it progress? When did abuse start? What did your partner do, and then what did you do? How did you suffer? Can you demonstrate "extreme cruelty (physical/mental/ financial)" in your statement or with other evidence or both? Are you still with them or separated? Make the statement consistent with the rest of the material, which is easy if one is telling the truth. Don't worry too much, you can send more later if you find something. Or they will send RFE if they need something clarified. But you need to tell them everything about the abuse that you can possibly remember, in your statement.

Another thing, please skim through this forum from the first thread. Treat it like holy scripture. You will find diamonds of information strewn among the posts. Stuff that no lawyer has the time to tell you. It will take a few days but you profit immensely. Spend maybe an hour a day skimming old threads. When I find something I need to remember I take a screenshot and save it to my Google drive. Also you will notice that when @TBoneTX posts bad jokes, approvals go through the roof soon after.

How long does it take from card being produced to approval?

The person can get married AFTER VAWA approval, but you can't sponsor your spouse for 5 years or until you become a U.S Citizen if the person is not a green card holder or U.S Citizen.

 

Yes you need to submit your  tax return when you apply for Citizenship.

Omg, this thing is terrible. It means we could not married with someone who does not live in the US legally for 5 years.

You can get married. 

But you can't sponsored him or her to get green card.

You can only do that if you have clocked 5 years after your green card approval or after you have been granted citizenship after 3 years of your vawa green card approval. 

So,it's a matter of sponsoring your spouse to get green card using your vawa eligibility.

For i-360?

 

It is on average 4 to 6 weeks.

This is correct for most cases posted here, but mine was a little quicker, about three weeks.

Hello, everyone!

 

I have a question about employment while waiting for EAD renewal and was wondering if anyone could help me.

 

I'm a freelancer for a production agency, so some of my clients can take up to 90 days to pay me. I've stopped working right when my EAD expired but am still waiting for some payments. If they pay me while my EAD is expired, would that look like unauthorized work? I can't "get fired" or be put on a leave of absence since I'm a freelancer.

Have your HR gave you any documents? have you present those to your congress/Senator? 

If you have not then i would say get a letter from your HR and try to expedite through your senator and also send a copy to Vermont. Reach out to ombudsman as well. 

I have sent my own letter from HR to Vermont in January, and now the same letter through senator.

i do not think that's an issue since the work was done while you EAD was valid. 

 

You did not work when your EAD is expired. you do not need to worry about anything.

I don't think so. 

The job was done when you were still having the authorisation to work. 

That's what matters!!!!!!!

So, you can still be receiving money for jobs done while you were authorized to.
