Good day everyone, I will like to get some information about filling tax return if I am still legally married. Filing married but filling separated requires spouse’s SSN which I do not know. Also I will like to know which status Vawa applicants can file with. Any information will be appreciated. 
 

Thank You. 

If you are married filing separately and you do not have your spouses ssn, you have to file your taxes in paper form.

Hi everyone 

I filed i360 in feb 2020, rfe in April 2020 and I replied. No action till April 2022 - another rfe  and I responded May 2022. No action again until Feb 2023 - Correspondence Was Received And USCIS Is Reviewing It. And nothing again since then. I’ve done ombudsman and Congress and still nothing. Pls what else can I do? I’m out of my mind at this point.

 

I’ve been unable to work because my lawyer did not file i485 and I couldn’t get EAD. I just want my VAWA approved so I can start working and move on with my life. 
 

pls what options do I have, what else can I do to get my VAWA approved?

I’m crying so bad. God is good. I just got this today. I’m in shock. Thank you guys so much for your encouraging words, I really really needed them, i was in a very bad place mentally. I know this isn’t even the EAD but this is the first good news I’ve gotten in so long.

God finally answered me. I’m praying that this is the start of good news in my journey and for everyone of us. 

God is good! Finally card is being produced. It’s been almost 3yrs without EAD! I can’t stop crying. I went from having EAD and working for 2yrs to not being able to work for 3yrs. God is good! 
I applied for i765 & i485 in Dec 2022

Sent in expedite request in February 2023 (received the receipt notice in February)

 

Expedite request approved in April 2023

Card is being produced May 2023. 

I’m still waiting for VAWA approval. 3yrs and counting. And the processing time just went up again 😔

Thank you guys so much for your encouragement when I was really down. You have no idea how much it helped me. God bless you.

Do not send any other document unless it has been asked.

At this point, only respond to rfe.

Finally the day has come!!!

Guys i have my green in my hand. I never thought i would see this day. Finally a happy ending!!

The journey that started 6 years ago now comes to end. 

There were many ups and downs. there were moments when i can see only darkness around myself. However, God has his own plans.

I have many people to thanks specially @sandranj @Demise  and everyone on this forum was really helpful and supportive. 

 

One thing i would recommend is to have patience. Just take it easy as things comes. 

Congrats Balo! You totally deserve this victory. You’ve been enormous help to people on this platform. You deserve every win.  God bless you.

Wasn't paying close attention, but for an EAD expedite request, I always knew one of the criteria considered was "health care worker", but I was just reviewing it and it says "or childcare worker". I never noticed that before. That's me. Was that always there?

 

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/how-to-make-an-expedite-request#:~:text=Call the USCIS Contact Center,that meets the above criteria.

You have quite a bit.  

You also have an upvote inventory for Jokes.

Wednesday = time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

=============================================
IRRESISTIBLE TO WOMEN

 

A man walking through the woods found a magic lamp on the ground.  He picked up the lamp and rubbed it.  Out popped a genie.  The genie thanked the man for freeing him and granted him three wishes.

 

The man was ecstatic and knew exactly what he wanted.  "First," he said, "I want a billion dollars."  The genie snapped his fingers, and a suitcase full of money materialized from thin air.

 

The amazed man then said, "Next, I want a Ferrari."  The genie snapped his fingers, and a Ferrari appeared from a puff of smoke.

 

The man continued, "Finally, I want to be irresistible to women."  The genie snapped his fingers, and the man promptly turned into a box of chocolates.

I would say reach out to your congressperson for help. 

You really need to have a solid reason to expedite.

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
