VAWA, Part 24

[Mahi Bansi 8]

Thank you everyone for their support. May I ask how long should my personal statement be? Like how many pages?

If I am correct (please correct me if I am wrong); I should explain in my personal statement our whole married life and courtship life? Like how we met what we did where we went etc etc? In very specific details?

Please guide me if there are any resources.

You can PM me also. I would appreciate it.

Thank you fam!

Sorry for asking you these questions. 

Which year was that?

Were people waiting more than 10 months to receive Ead/ap approval? or more than 2 months before receiving their receipt of notice of their application?

I think that people are reacting faster depending of the urgency of their cases and also how USCIS are dealing with cases today. 

Too much backlog and to much times taken nowaday to process cases. 

So,I do understand those saying act ASAP.

The process has become very tough today, even to get an EAD/AP.

 People were having this card usually 90 days after filing. 

2017 is when I filed, 2019 is when approved.  When I filed was before the DOM which increased the number of applications.

Thank you. I initially planned to expect the approval letter in approx. 4 months but I’ve seen recent posts of VAWA approvals in less than 2 months. Wondering if my case requires additional review after the C31 EAD has been issued. 

Contact your congressman. No need to wait as your case has been approved the moment they issued you your EAD. They will get a reply in about 2 weeks stating the same .

I have seen 3 to 5 November approvals on this forum. So far nothing from December 2019. I know someone from December got RFE.

 

I am from December 2019 as well.

It’s sad that you’re going through all this!but

you can do the following:

 

1- Gather all your necessary documents e.g marriage cert, pics together, joint bills. 

2- email yourself a copy of all e-media such as bruise pics, threatening messages, etc. change your email password or alternatively make a new one which your spouse does not know. 
3- Pack all necessary belongings in a single suitcase

4- Call police and say you are being abused(at the time it happens). Make sure they make a report.

5- Leave for a shelter.

you will get access to pro-bono immigration attorneys there. Begin filing your VAWA asap. 
6- Send an overnight carrier letter marked “urgent” with all your UScIS case numbers to your field office asking to hold the i485 because you’re going to file VAWA. Better if you still go to the interview and explain to them why you don’t have the letter and show them your online status saying your interview is scheduled( not sure if they will let you attend it, esp of your spouse is there too). 
7- once VAWA is filed, start divorce proceedings 

8- Attend therapy

9- you deserve a life of dignity and honor. Respect yourself enough to walk away

10- @sandranj is a lawyer, she is may take up your case if you request her. Other members like @Demise are very knowledgeable here and are your go-to resources. 
11- You can file for fee waiver for the applications

12- This too shall pass and along with you, we shall all be celebrating your victory whenever it happens. 
13- Good luck and best wishes. Keep on praying and working hard!

Hi,

 

To which office Hold in Abeyance letter is sent. My interview has not been scheduled yet and the I-130 got withdrawn. Is it sent to the National Benefits Center or Local Field Office. Last I checked 2 weeks ago my case was still at NBC. Appreciate your help and prompt response. Thanks

No review needed, it just delay on USCIS side,

@Demise , @sandranj or someone more experimented in this family should enlighten us in case of figure.

We're learning a lot everyday though this platform.

I think it should be NBC for your files are still there. 

But those more experimented on this forum will give us more clarity.
