Mid Jan why?

Thank you so much for your response. I have filed i-130 years ago and in that form it asks first about PHYSICAL ADDRESS and then they ask about the mailing address. I thought mailing address in i-360 form can be a PO box in both sections as it did not mention it as physical address. Thank you for clarifying this. so I will put my PO box address in safe address section and my physical address in mailing address section.

Thank you so much for your response. My problem is no where in the from asks for physical address. I can see it is only mailing address they want. where is the area I should put my physical address in the form. I have attached the form here. i-360.pdf

Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing well. I am filing my I-360 (VAWA) on my own, without an attorney, and I would really appreciate guidance from anyone familiar with this process. I have a few questions: Safe mailing address (Part 1): I am planning to rent a USPS mailbox and use that address as my safe mailing address. Does USCIS accept a USPS mailbox address as a safe address for a VAWA self-petition? Mailing address vs. physical address (Part 3): I will be moving out of my current residence within the next six months. Can I use the same USPS mailbox address again as my mailing address in Part 3 of the form? Or does USCIS require a physical residential address specifically in this section? Employment Authorization (Part 10, Question 12): This question asks whether I am requesting an Employment Authorization Document. If I plan to apply for EAD later under the C09 category together with my I-485, should I mark “Yes” or “No” here? Thank you so much for your time and help. I truly appreciate any insight you can share.

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?
