Its been a while since i was here, im a 2018 October filler and still nothing happened...crickets

Lawyer saying need to wait... paid twice for a work permit application due to her saying that some rules changed and 2 years so far and nothing, all i hear is that need to wait and if she will have news for me she will be the one reaching out to inform and pretty much not to bug her with this type of question. 

I asked the lawyer recently if we are doing everything possible to somehow maybe expedite or at least get a freaking answer it just cant be only silence for that long... lately thinking more and more of just call it a good 15 year journey in us and just move to a different country in europe and leave everything behind...

Anyone here in same situation like mine?

 

By the way congratulations to everyone on their applications!

Contact your congress person to inquire on your behalf, if someone can't afford to pay the USCIS fees  then the person just needs to file a fee waiver I-912, your attorney  has no clue about VAWA Law.

Hello All,

 

Sorry this question must have been asked multiple time before, but i was not able to find information.

 

What documents we need to sent along with 765/131 renewal? I saw one guys sent without photos and got approved, that is odd to me. 

 

Docs i gathered so far 

1. 765/131 form, (131 i did not see place to check/tick renewal) signed

2. Current C09 EAD copy front and back, 

3. 485/360 copy

4. Passport and I-94 copy. 

5. Letter got with current EAD/AP

6. 4 Passport photos, 

 

Shall i keep copies separate for 765 and then 131 or is it okay if i sent only one copy for both? Am i missing any other document?

You need to submit a copy of the I-485,copy of the I-94 as well.if you had the fees waived then you have to submit form I-912. Submit  form G1145.

Thanks for this enlightening answer. 

That's why in order to keep your current  EAD/AP active, we need to endeavor to keep our current I-485 ON HOLD while going through the vawa process.

Am I correct?

I will always advocate for you to request it to be on hold, however, if the IO does not (they do not have to) what are other options.  Look at the BIG picture and not the small window.

Once they approve your VAWA you will receive the work permit category C31,they won't renew category C9 after Vawa approval.

Thank you @sandranj but can i renew my C09 after i receive C31? Lets say they issue me C31 and cancel my C09 renewal request, can i still re-submit C09 after they issue me C31 and deny my current c09 renewal in process?  God bless you

Not true.... Once your I-485 is denied, your EAD is automatically revoked.  Will your employer check to see if it had been revoked before it expires, not likely.  However, in a situation where you have your EAD as proof of being able to be in the country and work, it won't work.  

Well dear, I am just telling my experience cause I went through the same issue and even though it was denied and revoked I kept my job and luckily I got another ead right on time. Employer didn't check and make a big deal as you mentioned.. That's what I just mean my friend.

Your information is incorrect, once form I-485 is denied the work permit and advance parole become null and void.

I got that and I agree.  What I just meant in my case, my employer didn't check and terminate my job. I worked few months and I got another work authorization through vawa and I updated that with my employer. Just saying the employer may not realize and you will still work until they find out and request an update.

So I received my I360 approval notice today. My I485 was filed in Feb 2020, and it was transferred to NBC in Oct 2020 for "faster processing." . @Demise and others, do I need to do anything else to get I485 processing rolling at this point? Do I need to send NBC a copy of the I360 approval notice or something?

congratulations. 

 

No you do not need to do anything or send anything. 

Just for them to either send you medical request or schedule an interview.

Nope. Just wait, you do not have to notify anyone of anything for the process to move along at its normal glacial pace.

Please give me an advice. I will have an interview based on vawa approval in the end of December. Recently I'm staying at the address on file but I have also stayed at another address which closed to my work. Both addresses in the same state but they are in different cities with a distance around 2hr driving. I plan to provide the interview officer with the additional address closed to my work. Do you think it is fine for me to update the office with the additional address since both of them are my current addresses? Thank you

Yes go ahead and tell them. They probably won't probe further but if they do just explain the situation like you have here and you'll be fine. Having two concurrent addresses is a bit uncommon but it's not a red flag if you can justify it (e.g. I primarily live at A, but B is closer to my job so I stay there a lot).

 

Moreover, addresses aren't really a factor with VAWA cases, if this was a marriage based case then you'd need to do some explaining since there's an expectation (but not a hard requirement) that spouses live together.

At last, here is our Semiweekly Semiofficial VAWA-Thread Joke*:

     *patent pending for evoking approvals and positive progress, if correlation = causation

==============================================
THE FORTUNE-TELLER AND THE BAD NEWS

 

During a recent outing in New Orleans, a woman sneaked away from her husband to visit a fortune-teller of some local repute.

 

In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the mystic delivered grave news.  "There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just be blunt:  Prepare yourself to be a widow.  Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year."

 

Visibly shaken, the woman stared at the fortune-teller's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands.  She took a few deep breaths to compose herself.  She met the fortune-teller's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked,

 

"Will I be acquitted?"

Thank you very much for your advice. I will update my additional address to the officer.

Hey vj family. I am responding to a NOID I received. I don't have many pictures with me. USCIS is questioning the pictures I submitted that they are insufficient and taken on one place. How should I explain this ? My ex went with all the pictures in her phone and many pictures in my phones were just deleting themselves, I don't know what wrong with my phone. Also, I don't trust my lawyer, she seems not experienced in NOID. What should I do?

Finally after 70 days of waiting i received my receipts for EAD and AP.
