VAWA, Part 27

[TBoneTX 45,956]

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

===========================================
BE HONEST WITH THE POLICE!

 

A woman trying to maneuver her sedan out of a parking space banged into the car ahead, then into the car behind, and finally, after pulling into the street, struck a passing delivery truck.

 

A policeman who had been watching approached her.  "Let's see your license," he demanded.

 

"Don't be silly, Officer," she said.  "Who'd give ME a license?"

They changed the mailing location sometime in mid 2023 around the time when I filed my AOS. 

@Demise but I am pending VAWA approval? I don’t have approved I-360 to send together with my renewal package. 
 

all I have are the renewal 765 and 131 forms, 4 photos, copy of my current combo card, and I-797 for my I-485

You need to file the application at the same location where you submitted your VAWA application. If you did not receive a notification stating that your case was transferred to Nebraska, you should file with Vermont. However, if your case was transferred, you should file with Nebraska.

@Demise per Sandra’s post, it looks like I should be sending to Vermont not Nebraska?  I do not  have approved VAWA - still pending. But I have C9 based on pending 485

Hello Family,

 

One of my friends is filling I360 concurrently with I485, I765, I131 all together. Can someone help me how much he has to pay as filling fee?

Listen, USCIS says to file with Nebraska so you probably should file with Nebraska.

You can likely chance it and file with Vermont but there's a chance that they'll just send it back. They definitely won't send it back if you follow the actual directions, finally I-765 receipt notice provides an automatic extension (540 days?) to the old EAD, so you shouldn't care when it's approved (which I guess filing with Vermont is trying to accomplish), only that it gets there before the old one expires.

 

In my own case I-360 was filed with and approved by Vermont. (Had admin closed removal proceedings so couldn't concurrently file). Then they changed the mailing location, I filed my I-485, I-765, and I-131 with Nebraska. Nebraska accepted the filing and later forwarded it to Vermont which approved the I-765 and I-131 and passed the I-485 to the NBC.

 

So can you try playing lose with what it says? Meh, probably.  Should you? Nah.

$0.

Recent changes to the fee schedule made VAWA I-485, I-765, and I-131 all free. VAWA I-360 was always free as far as I can tell.

Also he shouldn't forget the medicals, another recent change will make USCIS reject any I-485 filed without medicals.

Also he shouldn't forget the I-864W.

Hello @Demise

 

Thank you for your response. While filling his I485 and found a new Part 3 about Request for Exempt for intending Immigrants affidavit of support Under Section 213A of INA.

 

Do you still we will need to fill I-864W? Also, do we need to send medicals now?

Medicals - yes, you have to send them in.

I-864W - I just checked and you are completely right, I-864W is no longer required.
