Case Processing

VAWA approval 🎉
Hi everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to share my journey with you. When I first started my VAWA process, reading posts here helped me so much, and I hope I can offer a little hope today in return. I filed my VAWA application in November 2021. I had my biometrics appointment in April 2022, and then… silence. For almost three years, I didn’t hear anything. It was so hard sometimes to keep faith, to not feel forgotten or left behind. In January 2025, I finally got an update: they had sent me an RFE (Request for Evidence). But the letter got lost. Neither I nor my attorney ever received the original notice. It took nearly three more stressful months to get a copy. All that time, I didn’t even know what evidence they needed or how much time I had to respond — I just knew that the clock was ticking. At the end of March 2025, we finally got the copy. They asked for additional evidence about my good moral character and proof that my marriage was entered into in good faith. The deadline was only a few days away — April 7th — so my attorney and I rushed to gather everything we could. We submitted it just in time. And yesterday… I finally received the news: My VAWA was APPROVED. I will also be getting my work permit soon, and I’m now eligible to apply for my green card. I just want to tell anyone who is still in the waiting season: Please don’t give up. I know it can feel endless. I know how painful the waiting, the silence, and the uncertainty can be. But God sees every tear, every effort, every moment of courage. Justice may take time, but it does come. Keep your head up. Keep fighting for yourself. You are not alone. Your story matters. Sending love and strength to all of you on this journey 🫶🏼✨
