Thank you so much. I used a lawyer for my mandamus writ. I started filing and serving in May and got my VAWA approved in June. PD for i360 is 02/18/2020. We served DHS, DOJ, USCIS and the district attorney. I485 interview scheduled for August. 

How much the attorney charge you for mandamus writ

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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FUNNY SHORT ONES

 

The bank says this is my final notice.  Isn't it great that they're not going to bother me any longer?

 

Now they're saying that cigarettes can cause rectal cancer.  I'll be OK, though -- I'm always careful to put them in my mouth.

 

"Coming soon to a cinema near you."  How do they know where I live?

 

I've been voted Employee Of The Month for the past 15 months.  Self-employment has its advantages!

 

When I walked into the store, the sign on the door said "Open."  Now I can't leave, because the sign on the door says "Closed."

 

When I was kidnapped as a young child, my parents sprang into action.  They rented out my room.

 

I'm not fat!  I'm just easy to see.

:P

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!").

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

Hello Family,

I submitted my application to USCIS VAWA center for advance parole and work authorization together in March 2024.

In April 2024, I received a receipt for the advance parole application, but I have not received a receipt for the work authorization application since then.

Could you please provide any advice on what steps I can take to address this issue?

Thank you for your assistance.

Call your congressperson to inquire on your behalf.

Hello everyone,

 

I have been a silent reader from 2020 and My VAWA was just Approved on July 22, 2024. I filed concurrently: i360, i485, i765, and i131.

 

I got my 5 year work and travel permit C09 back in March 2024 and travel to my home country and back without any issue. Seeing that my Vawa was approved in July, I got a 2 year work permit C31. 
 

 

QUESTION 1: Seeing that my VAWA is now approved and I got a 2 year work permit, am I able to still use the C09 permit for traveling purposes? Or will it become invalid because of the Vawa approval? 
 

QUESTION 2:, I am in NY, any idea how long it will take for them to transfer my case to my local office and how long it will take for them to process it?

 

QUESTION 3: Am I still required to do an interview? How long will I be waiting before the interview or before I get my GC? 
 

Thank you for answering and I pray that God will open a Great door for his people to walk out of their immigration crisis with the victory!

 

1- If you AP is valid, you can use it at any time

2-It's taking NYC 14/18 months to schedule the interview

3-They might set up the interview or not.

Hello family,

 

I just received my passport today and when I checked the visa it says “Upon endorsement serves as temporary I-551 evidencing permanent residence for 1 year”

 

I thought VAWA get a 10 year GC! is this just the validity of the visa itself, or is this gonna be the validity of my green card ?

Passport stamps are only valid for one year. When you get your GC it will be 10 year card.

If your son is over 18 then no. A minor under 18 applying for passport must be accompanied by a parent and permission from both parents to apply for passport.

reach out to your senator. also call them again and tell them you need to make an info pass appointment to find out the status of your i-485.
