Hi, does anybody know if there is a good lawyer or paralegal who can help me double check forms while I completed all of them by myself and ready to submit my VAWA petition? I do not want any RFEs for this.

@Sandra G. Hello Sandra, I have seen your name mentioned many times across different topics, and everyone says you are one of the best lawyers for VAWA petitions. I would like to know if it’s possible for me to complete all the documents and then ask you to review my petition at the end. I really need your help and would be happy to pay for your services. I couldn’t find your last name to contact your office, so if this kind of service is available, I would appreciate it if you could share your contact information with me.

Thank you very much for your answer. Is there any file or website where I can find step-by-step instructions for filing? Or any advocate who can check my document once everything is all completed by me? I don’t know anything about the process and am really in need of help. I called some non profit lawyers and they told me they would contact me after six weeks. Thank you for your answer. You really helped me a lot.

Thank you very much for your response. I am waiting for money from my workplace to be able to rent a place and leave. Even if he withdraws the I-130, can I still file concurrently by submitting the receipt notice of the I-130 (even if it has been withdrawn) and request the transfer of the priority date? I apologize for asking so many questions. Is there any file or resource you could share with me that would help me file on my own? The I-360 was straightforward, but I am unsure about which category and documents I need to include in my I-485 packet especially for work authorization. I really appreciate your help. Thank you for assisting me.

Thank you very much for your reply. My husband is an LPR and filed my I-130 on January 23, 2024. Based on the visa bulletin, I am now eligible to file the I-485. However, due to the abuse he has inflicted on me, I have not yet filed the I-485 based on the I-130 and would like to proceed with VAWA instead. At this point, my question is: Can the priority date of the I-130 be transferred to the I-360? If it can, I would be able to file the I-360 and I-485 concurrently. If it cannot, I will need to file the I-360 at this time. I want to know if I can file concurrently or not. I greatly appreciate your response. I am currently in a very difficult situation, with abuse all over my body, and I continue to stay with my husband solely to prevent him from withdrawing the I-130 and to retain the possibility of transferring the priority date from the I-130 to the I-360.

Is it possible to transfer the priority date of a withdrawn i-130 to the i-360? If yes, what is the process? also, does anybody know if it is better to file i-360 concurrently with i-485 or wait for the i-360 to be approved and file for i-130?
