Hello family 

 

I came here seeking any kind of advice 

 

I’ve been waiting for 824 to transfer my vawa approval to the NVC for a long time with no update, already exceeded the processing time. I’m stuck with this form not knowing what is going on and why it’s taking so long to just transfer the approval to the NVC.

 

the attorney doesn’t wanna contact uscis and keeps saying we just have to wait. I’ve tried expediting few times and it got denied. I’ve tried contacting the congressperson and the senator and didn’t work. The attorney refused to contact the ombudsman office and she said I have to find another attorney if I wanna take that route. 
 

what can I do? I’m beyond depressed at this point I’ve been waiting over a year to get this approval moving but nothing worked out. What do you guys think I should do?

 

 

are they taking a long time because my case is based on vawa? 
 

 

p.s I need the attorney to receive documents from uscis for me, I can’t fire her because I have no one to receive the documents from uscis for me in the States.

Hi guys.

Is there any implications regarding my VAWA case if I divorce my abusive wife after two years of contract the marriage? Any problems please, bearing in mind that my i360 is yet to be approved. Many thanks

You can divorce now, there is no problem at all, you just can't remarry before VAWA approval.

Hey guys, anyone filed VAWA in Jan to April 2023 that has received their receipt notice? I filed in Vermont in March. No receipt notice till now. What can i do?

Do you have A#? 

If yes then reach out to your congress person they will be able to help you. I had same issue with my Ap/EAD receipts. My congress person was able to help me to get the receipts.

It is Wednesday -- time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

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

WHY MOTHERS SHOULD BE YOUNG

 

Thanks to new fertility technology, a 65-year-old friend of mine was able to give birth.  When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, I went to visit.

 

"May I see the new baby?" I asked.

 

"Not yet," she said.  "I'll make coffee and we can talk for a while first."

 

Thirty minutes later, I asked, "May I see the new baby now?"

 

"No, not yet," she said.

 

After another few minutes, I asked again, "May I see the baby now?"

 

"No, not yet," replied my friend.

 

Growing very impatient, I asked, "Well, when CAN I see the baby?"

 

"When he cries!" she told me.

 

"When he cries?!" I said.  "Why do I have to wait until he CRIES?"

 

"BECAUSE I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM, OK?!"

:P

I never went through the process, but reasonably, it can vary.  Sometimes, the interviewers need their supervisor's approval, for example.  Just have faith -- you're very close.
