VAWA Part 2

[lorphelpme 9]

Pretty random, you all don't know me, but I've been following this thread (previous VAWA and this one) for a few months now, and some news I just found out made me get the courage to actually create an account just so I could post this! I'm soo excited!

Here goes..

Finally they are doing wats right. Hopefully the paste at vmc will pick up.

Dear ********:

I thought you might appreciate knowing that this afternoon the Senate passed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act by a vote of 68 to 31. I cosponsored and voted for this important legislation, which supports programs dedicated to ending domestic and sexual violence and prosecuting the perpetrators of such crimes.

Since the Violence Against Women Act was originally passed in 1994, it has helped hundreds of thousands of women and children by funding programs that provide comprehensive support for the survivors of domestic and sexual violence. These crimes are a scourge on communities around our country. They have devastating consequences for the women and families who are victimized.

The Violence Against Women Act gives federal, state, and local governments the resources they need to combat these horrible crimes and to aid survivors. In the last eighteen years, VAWA funds have supported violence prevention grants, services to survivors of sexual assault, legal assistance, transitional housing grants, and assistance to law enforcement agencies and prosecutors. They provide shelter and counseling to women and children who have been harmed by violence, create programs that protect children during visits with parents who have been accused of domestic violence, and enhance protections for elderly and disabled women.

I believe we have a moral obligation to act to make a positive difference in the lives of these people, and this legislation does just that. By reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, the Senate has taken an important step toward ensuring that programs that make an enormous difference to survivors of sexual assault around the country will continue to do so. To learn more about the Violence Against Women Act, and to hear about other ways I am working to help those who have been affected by violence around the country, please visit my website at [http://www.levin.senate.gov/].

Sincerely,

Carl Levin

FINALY PASSED!

3- last week my lawyer sent a email to hot line Vermont and asked about my perima (4th) and asked We have not yet been provided with a response from USCIS on this case.

4- hotline respond and said :

" The information you submitted in response to the Request for Evidence was received and has been included in the file for review. I have sent a request to our clerical department to have the prima facie determination extension notice sent."

during time my request EAD approved and my card receive in my mail but i have not receive any perima.

3- can i request for change location of fingerprint to my state i am m living?

"mackbook " i suppose you have info this process i am relay appreciated for share

Hello Lion Lion ,

Please dont worry yourself .When you filed for vawa did you file together with i-485,iam sure you did file for i-765 as you have your EAD.Normally i-485 are valid for 14-15 months if I am not mistaken.Looking at your time line you filed for vawa 12/10 so its been like 16 months since you filed and your finger prints are now expired I mean as in the USCIS meaning you have to re-do your biometrics just to make sure from the time you applied to to date you havent been involved in an crime .Thats should be a good news from the way iam looking at it.Meaning your vawa is about to be approved thats why you have to do biometrics for i-485 they just want to make sure your crime free.Dont worry about it .You mentioned that they sent the letter to another state ,did you move to another state since you filed for vawa if so you or your lawyer should send the new address to USCIS or else they will keep sending your mail to the previous address.Call them to ask them to send the letter of biometrics to where you are and change address if you didnt.

Ssisi10 most of the USCIS local services center issue the RFE,just a few don't do that, but for some reason IF your local office can't give you a copy they will require for you for sure.

Hi ladyg ;

thank you for respond, and seam is it correct, but there are some basic questions.for example you know usually or almost fingerprint for benefit (main i-485) , it's requested to received or will receive from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (uscis) .

but this time about me,i received letter appointment from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) .

these departments are different one of is for give t benefit and other one for deportation !!!

by the way i you know better than me no any body can not get ( CG card ) before background check every body should be check, and you know when when FBI go to process background check or request for background check then

(FBI) to be checked against criminal databases. With Secure Communities, the FBI then sends the fingerprints to ICE, where they are checked against the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (US-VISIT) and the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT). This fingerprint check allows state and local law enforcement and ICE automatically and immediately to search the databases for an individual’s criminal and immigration history.

i think, one request send for my background check and then send to ice and ice have not new fingerprint then send letter to me for new fingerprint. or update fingerprint an following my case and when denied the enforced for deportation

really i don't know what is correct but i have strong evidence in my hand that is approval EAD Card againe ( It seems to be i-360 will be Approve )

do you agree with me, if not please correct me.

And about of my address:

i recived this letter in my state in new address ( new state) but in title of letter appointment wrote my old address ( previous state ) but Bash line withe pen and write my new address by hand !!!!!

In any case, after sharing withe you and explained you i am better sure and I'm calm and waiting for respond my lawyer after get answer i will share here

thank you

to all of pending be strong and never give up

[otterisme 0]

I filed VAWA through my lawyer on April/2nd and got the Establishment of prima facie two weeks later. I also filed my 485 concurrently. My existing EAD card will soon expired and I've filed a new EAD card last week, but it takes time to receive it.

Even if I get my new EAD card doesn't mean I can get a job immediately.

I heard with prima facie I am qualified several social benefits. Can anyone here help me with the details? I live in NYC. Where should I apply? What kind of social benefits can i get? What are the steps? I speak Chinese my english is not so good, can i get the application form in Chinese?

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With prima facie you can get public assistance meaning food stamps, a portion of your rent paid and medicaid. In normal cases you can file for eg. Food stamps without the other two but when you have a prima facie you must apply for all three together which is called public assistance or PA. Go to your public assistance office in you borough bring your Id and the prima facie, social security card if you have one,your lease if you don't have a lease a letter from who you live with saying you live with them. If you work a pay stub if not just tell them you unemployed but if you have a ead they will put you in the work program to help you find a job I was told abt the job program by a friend but not sure abt that one.hopefully that was helpful to you

StillAlive... I noticed you filed VAWA by itself, then AOS & EAD a year later; was that with category C9? Did/are you working with an attorney or organization, or by yourself?

Just trying to get some info on what to do/where to go from here, and how... my VAWA is pending, but I haven't filed AOS/EAD

Please let me know...
