@J2020 Thanks a lot! My attorney mentioned that the hot line email is only used by attorney’s not for applicants and they verify bar id. I will reach out to my attorney and will let you know as well.

What happens when someone requests for an asylum while 485 based on vawa is still pending? 
 

if circumstances changed for someone and they have to apply for asylum for their safety?

Hello all!

 

I'm wanting to ask a question about the I-693 medical exam. I took mine for the 3rd time last week (1st time was for I-130 in 2018, 2nd for I-360 in 2020, 3rd one for I-360 again since it's only valid for 2 years). Apart from the physical exam, the doctor was also asking me about mental health. I've been seeing both a therapist and a psychiatrist for medication on and off since I broke it off with my abusive husband. I guess my question is, would I be inadmissible since the doctor stated that I have PTSD and have history of self harm due to it? I do have an attorney representing me so I'm not sure if this is something I should tell them now...

Wednesday means that it's time for our hilarious, highly effective Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

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

THE LAST DINOSAUR BRUNCH

 

Three hungry dinosaurs stumbled across a magic lamp.  They rubbed it, and a dino-genie appeared.

 

"I have three wishes, so I'll give one to each of you," the genie announced.

 

The first dinosaur thought hard.

 

"All right," he said, "I'll have a big, juicy piece of meat."  Instantly, the biggest, juiciest piece of meat he'd ever seen appeared in front of him.

 

The second dinosaur, who wanted more, said, "I know!  I'll have a shower of meat!"  Immediately, huge pieces of meat rained down around him.

 

The third dinosaur, not to be outdone, thought even harder than the previous dinosaurs.

 

"I've got it!" he cried.  "I want a MEATIER shower!"

 

The rest is history.

The two cases just kinda run in parallel. If you get asylum first and technically nothing prevents you from adjusting via VAWA.

Is obtaining the EAD or AP conditional on getting a Prima Facie on the I-360?

[anonymousVAWApet 4]

What is the real world difference between paying the fees for the 485, 765, and 131 and filing the 912 fee waiver?

 

A) Identical processing time

B) Less than one month processing time difference

C) More than one month processing time difference

No, that's only conditional on the I-485 being pending.

Well for starters you need to have a good cause for seeking the waiver, which generally means that you are broke. Also, if your I-485 ends up pending for more than 2 years you will have to pay for EAD/AP renewal(s) or get another I-912 fee waiver.

From the options you've provided, it should be less than a month for them to review your fee waiver.

Hello VJ family, 

I need help. My local office is awaiting for the i-601 waiver receipt notice for them to make a final decision on my green card. My lawyer sent the I-601 waiver package to Vermont office on November 7, the package got returned that it went to a wrong address and sent to Dallas Tx office on the 14 of December. Until now, my check hasn’t been cashed by USCIS yet for me to receive a receipt notice to send to my local office. Now in just a WEEK TIME my 60 days RFE extension will be up. What should I do?

Why did he send it to Texas? It should have gone to Chicago, per these instructions.

Make 2 complete copies of the waiver , include the rejection notice from VSC , proof of mailing to Texas and send a short letter explaining attorney address errors .

 

Send the one with a new check to Chicago street address with FedEx ( see in link) and the other copy in response to RFE.

If your Form I-485 receipt number (located on the I-797C Notice of Action) begins with "MSC" or "IOE" or does not have a 3-letter code at the beginning of the receipt number, then mail to:

USCIS Chicago Lockbox

She sent it to Texas because, Vermont stamped an address on top because my receipt number starts with SRC. So in this case , I make another check and copy of original i601 and send it to my local office with a letter explaining that we haven’t received a receipt number from Texas as per uscis vermont direction?
