Vawa application

[Dan B 0]

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask but I would like some help in getting some information as it relates to what I can do.

 

I filed a vawa application like 19 months ago, with the application i filed adjustment of status, advance parole and Employment authorization. It has been 19 months, my lawyers had filed an expedition request which they denied because they said I didn’t meet the requirements. 
 

I was married to a us citizen that cancelled my i485 application this my reason for filing this application. I have been waiting 19 months for an Employment authorization.

 

i got a notice on December 26 that uscis received my i765 application and they are currently reviewing it. They did also notify me that they will be using my old biometrics. 
 

what can I do to get some answers about my Employment documents???

Expedition request? Why? What reason? 

 

Merely canceling I-485 is not a basis to file VAWA. Did you actually meet the criteria for VAWA?

I should think I qualify. I received 2 prima facie one 12 months the 2nd 6 months 

[Timona 4,207]

For? Just for withdrawal of I-485?

Thread is moved from General Immigration Discussion to the Major Changes forum, where VAWA-related issues are most often discussed.

Receiving PF does not quantify you are eligible for VAWA.

I’m dealing with vawa so I fully understand vawa. But I don’t understand what you wrote.

All you can do is wait.  VAWA cases can take a long time to adjudicate.  No one can predict if your ex-wife's withdrawal of your adjustment of status I-485 and generally being difficult will be enough evidence.  Most successful VAWA cases are based on physical violence backed up with strong documentation to prove it.  There have been a few on the VAWA threads that were approved based on emotional abuse, but not many.  Be ready with a plan B if you are denied and have to go back to your home country.  They may also ask for additional evidence of the abuse, so be ready to send more if you need it.  I assume that your attorney filed a strong VAWA package and hope that you will get approval soon.  Good luck!

Ok tell me actually you want me to say that would help you help me. I didn’t just filed the application because my i485 was pulled, and even that is a form of abuse just so you know. I have substantial evidence of everything that I went though and then some.

I think OP's main concern is EAD/AP. Dan it is surely long time to wait for EAD. What category did you or your employer put on EAD application when you filled it? did you put c09? If yes then at this point i would reach out to congress person for help.

The highlighted is what we are asking. Tell us exactly what happened/ what you have.

 

As someone else said, pulling out a petition isn't abuse. Is it written on the VAWA criteria/ qualifications? I'm 100% sure NO.

 

From how it's going, it looks like you don't have a case. I stand corrected.

Yes it’s c09. I don’t see what the vawa application has to do with the process time of my i765. I’m sure if by now if there was an issue I probably would get an RFE but I got 2 of already. It’s still going in the right direction.

Carmel I have may more evidence than just a pulled application, but you know I’m not just gonna come on here and put my whole life story for people to see, talk and criticize. I’m going through such much as it is already living the life of someone in my case. It’s not easy to write out everything in words what I’m doing with my application either.

Withdrawing sponsorship is not a form of abuse in and of itself.

Several posts and replies have been removed for needling and provoking the OP.  There are more diplomatic ways of asking for clarification and additional information, especially when someone is under stress already.
