My interview date was October 2020 and me and lawyer were working on our vawa case. The official receipt notice was on dec 2020 for my vawa. Me and ex wife were divorced and My lawyer told me that she went to interview herself and talked w the officer and got promised that they will hold it. Since then it’s still showing that interview has scheduled for Oct 2020. I was able to get 2 renewed ead and advance parole through my existing i485 which makes me believe that they are still holding it I hope I’m not wrong. Vawa is still pending. What do you guys think? I will also get a denial for my i485? I’m not sure if I can get approval for i360, how can I still use existing i485, I’ve been waiting 35 months for  vawa and I don’t feel any strong left in me to wait additional years for i485 interview:(

I think we have very different cases - my timeline and chronology are very different, I first filed VAWA then got interviewed, and I had no lawyer attending it. And you’re assuming so many things about your case that you just don’t know. Not sure why you would go to another interview, just get your approval first and go from there, especially that you have your AP and EAD the wait is not terrible

Yea, my VAWA was approved prior to i485 denial, and it was even received before my first interview. I’m curious how were you able to schedule an infopass? 

Your denial letter says it was denied in 2020.

The basis for the denial was because on October 19, 2020 you did not have any other approved visa to adjust from the denied it.

GUYS VERY URGENT PLS HELP @Sandra G.

I received my i485 denial notice in the mail today (it’s been 28 days so I only have a few days left to respond) and I’m attaching what it says here. I have no clue what it’s about. Please help decipher! (I appeared alone to the interview to ask to hold i485 in abeyance). The rest of the text is just that I need to return my EAD card.

It means your I-485 wasn't held by the officer. Back then, you probably filed form I-360 and asked to put the I-485 on hold. The officer isn't obligated to put on hold the I-485. Refile a new I-485, and as soon you get the I-485 receipt send a letter to USCIS (the one that denied your I485) AND ASK NOT TO FOWARD YOUR CASE to the Court, because you refile a new I-485, and then submit copies of your new 485 and  I-360 receipts.

It is Sunday, and time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

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

FOLLOW THE PLOW

 

A blonde driving a car became lost in a snowstorm.  She didn't panic, however, because she remembered what her dad had once told her:  "If you ever get stuck in a snowstorm, just wait for a snowplow to come by and follow it."

 

Sure enough, pretty soon a snowplow came by, and she started to follow it.

 

She followed the plow for about 45 minutes. Finally, the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing.  She explained that her dad had told her if she ever got stuck in a snowstorm, to follow a plow.

 

The driver nodded and said, "Well, I'm done with the Walmart parking lot; do you want to follow me over to Best Buy now?"

:P 

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

Hello I'm not exactly new to VAWA I was going to file a few years ago 2019 but didn't. I now have my own home and feel much more confident to apply, based on physical and psychological abuse. I'm in New York. I need help with what I have to do, which forms I need to mail, I believe to Vermont and any other helpful information, thank you.
