It was more emotional abuse than physical. I was made to sleep outside the house in the open and was punched/slapped couple of times throughout the relationship but no way to physically document it as I was never bruised or injured. It’s hard to document physical abuse when there is no physical injuries. I have never thought of calling the cops on my ex when we were together..

Coming up two years since I filed VAWA which means my time should be soon… looking back I had only submitted my personal statement, along with evidence of bona fide marriage to US citizen, a screenshot of text message trying to show abuse, and a psychiatrist (who is trained on interviewing VAWA applicants / abuse survivors) report. In that report the doctor concluded that it is in her professional opinion that she found my statements of abuse to be truthful and I am medically diagnosed to be severely depressed and anxiety due to abuse. All that was what I sent to USCIS…. What are you guys’ honest opinion on my case being approved

any nov 2021 filer with a decision made ?

Ead renewal based on C9 category (based on underlying I-485 held in abeyance; pending VAWA approval) - what is the length of validity uscis grant the renewed cards for these days? When the card was first approved and issued during 2020, I was approved for 2 years. Will the renewed card be given 2 years too? @Sandra G.

Keep me posted! For reference they received 2/21 and mailed out 4/5!

I received my two receipt notices today! Did you?

How do you mean ?

@Deee Smith- did you get your receipt notices? I haven’t gotten mine yet, but I received USPS informed delivery that my return receipt associated with the ead/ap renewal forms is en route to me….

Im still waiting …

Your lawyer mailed your c9 EAD renewal package to VSC? I’m guessing You have a pending VAWA with them as well, and your EAD was based on family based AOS

if VSC was the wrong place, I wonder if they would send us back the whole package that we had sent them

@Deee Smith I recognize your name as one of the main contributors here. But my concern/confusion is because on USCIS’ website it says to send EAD renewal to VSC if there is an “approved I-360”. did you send your ead renewal to VSC as well with a pending VAWA Application? I’ll look into contacting my congressman that week of 4/3 as well but I did send them a physical mail this week in writing to ask them to look into sending receipt notices ASAP as it’s been more than 30 days since they received my forms

I’m starting to think I mailed my C9 EAD and Advance Parole renewals wrongly to VSC, that’s why I have not received my receipt notices after 35 days or so since VSC received my renewal applications. Looks like I should have mailed it to USCIS Chicago Lockbox since I live in Massachusetts and my VAWA application has not yet been approved. My C9 EAD was received two years ago under family based adjustment of status. @sandranj

Will that be too early ?

30 days has passed since VSC accepted my Ead renewal package and still no receipt notice…. Is this normal? What’s the current wait time to receive a receipt notice from VSC ?
