Wow! My condolences 💐 regarding the demise of your mother. Your VAWA is from 2018? Some cases for some reason just takes longer than necessary..but you still have to wait it out. Good thing the officer agreed to expedite your travel document. 
 

One would have to be an insider to determine the outcome of your pending case. Those security/background checks seem to drag on forever but hopefully yours gets resolved soon. 
 

Keep pressuring them via your congressperson. You may be able to submit anything else that can strengthen your case if you have. But probably that’s not your situation but just in case.. I wish you all the best!🙏

Thanks

Good day all 

 

I am going to apply N-400 under VAWA 3 years role. Do I need to get The abuser's birth certificate? We've been divorced for a long time.

 

thank you!

@J2020 Be sure to go through your whole case..some officers try to re-adjudicate (which is not supposed to be) but hey be prepared. Be confident, articulate and polite. Don’t forget your important documents and copies. You got this!👍

Thank you fam! Yes for us that did the interview through consular processing was asked about the whole case, the abuse, and all the details. It’s gonna be tough to go through the abuse again but I’m gonna do my best to stay calm. Appreciate you @Stillwinning!!!😊

The naturalization interview letter should state important documents to bring. But you should definitely go with your marriage/divorce/birth certificate(s), Bring state-issued identification, Green card, your VAWA documents, tax info, and pretty much any other documents specific to your case.👍

Can some one guide me that what is the ways to get the citizenship proof of the abuser if she is naturalized beside the FOIA to USCIS or voter registration because both these ways are not working for me what else method can be used.

(Quick -- while it's still Wednesday somewhere) Here is our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke post:

=============================================================
COMMENTS ABOUT ADULTHOOD

 

Weekends are a scam.  You spend one day exhausted and the other day anxious.

 

"Are you OK?"  Oh my god, no, but for the purposes of this conversation, yes, I'm fine.

 

Remember when you were little and you'd fall on the trampoline and everyone would keep jumping so you couldn't get back up?  That's exactly how this year has felt.

 

How did I take all those classes when I was in school?!  Now, if I have one meeting and get groceries the same day, I fall apart.

 

The last time I went to Urgent Care, I checked off "excessive crying" on the symptom list.  The nurse got really confused and told me that was meant for babies.

 

Health insurance is cool!  You get to pay a bunch of money each month for nothing, and then if something happens to you, you pay a bunch more.

 

I hate when kids scream in public -- they don't have real problems.  It should be ME screaming.

 

One day, you wake up and everything is too sweet, too loud, and starts too late.

 

Paid rent, so I'll be at home enjoying my purchase for the rest of the month.

 

Adulthood is inheriting your parents' medical problems and finally realizing why they're kind of mean.

 

Adulthood is repetitively saying, "...but after this week, things will finally slow down a little" to people, until you either retire or die.

 

Being an adult is hard, but can you imagine having to do Math homework again?

Even if he is a US citizen will this affect your case in 3 years or 5 years rule

Hey family please I need an idea or help ! 
 

I had bad experience with my old lawyer now I have a new one !

And the officer needed more details! About it 

 

Now I have a real evaluation now 

 

I have a pic of physical abuse and a statement by me 

 

I have a police report ( calls and text harassment ) 

 

I have good morals as well from friends and co worker !

I was with my lawyer today and she was like maybe rejecting you and sending you rfe because of your race and you are man 

 

I just wanna make sure if I have a good lawyer and evidence is good ! Or the lawyer is right because of my race Cuse she said I should be approved
