    It's actually not uncommon; dozens of my clients have been sent to secondary inspection, and it even happened to me three times when I was a green card holder.

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has the legal authority to send anyone, including U.S. green card holders, to secondary inspection when entering the United States.

    You should inform USCIS about your divorce as soon as possible.

    Has anyone traveled abroad within the past 4 months while having a pending VAWA case? If so, how was your reentry experience?

    If you were unaware of your spouse’s bigamy, it does not impact your eligibility for U.S. citizenship under VAWA.

    If you have a pending I-485 (Application to Adjust Status), you are considered to be in a period of authorized stay by USCIS, even if you had prior unlawful presence.

    My former client was granted a green card through VAWA two years ago. Upon reentering the U.S. after an international trip, he was questioned extensively about his VAWA case and spent over an hour explaining the details to the officer(secondary inspection). He's already the third individual this year that I know of who has gone through this. Now imagine if you don’t even have a green card. I advised all my clients not to travel until they received their green cards.

    You’re not the one who committed bigamy, that burden falls on him, not you

    In New York City, it typically takes at least 12 months to schedule an interview, but in Brooklyn it could take up to 18 months. If you need to update your address, send a certified letter and also call USCIS to request the change. Ask to speak with a Tier 2 officer for assistance. While ICE can make arrests at USCIS offices, it’s uncommon. As long as you don’t have a criminal record or a final order of removal, you should be fine.

    I witnessed several individuals with pending asylum cases being detained, some before even entering the court for their master hearing, and others immediately after leaving, and they had "authorized stay."

    Keep a copy of your receipt. Your case is still pending, and there is no cause for concern.

    If it was the abuser who committed bigamy, the victim will not have any problems during the naturalization process.

    This means they sent you another copy of the I-485 denial notice. Your I-290B is still pending, and they have decided not to expedite your I-601.
  25. Sandra G.
    It's entirely up to you. Filing with or without an attorney won't change the outcome, but if you file without one, there's a chance you might make some mistakes when completing the form.
  26. Sandra G.
    They may ask about your VAWA case, but usually they do not ask for details of the abuse . If needed, you can respond with, 'I’m happy to answer general questions, but I’d prefer not to discuss personal details from my VAWA case unless absolutely necessary.'
