For Approved VAWA Petitioner, You should only file Form I-601 to seek a waiver if you are inadmissible under INA section 212(a)(9)(C)(i). You do NOT need to file this application if you are inadmissible under INA sections 212(a)(6)(A)(i) or 212(a)(9)(B)(i). what is your grounds of inadmissibility? Are you outside the country?

I am in the same situation did you you apply for consular processing

@rima You do not need to file Form I-601 if you are an approved VAWA self-petitioner (or that person’s child) and inadmissible under INA section 212(a)(9)(B)(i) (3-year or 10-year bar to admission). You may be exempt from this inadmissibility if you, the approved VAWA self-petitioner or your child, can establish a substantial connection between the battery or extreme cruelty that is the basis for your VAWA claim and the violation of your prior nonimmigrant admission. You must submit evidence of the substantial connection with your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, or your immigrant visa application.

@rima in other terms you are to simply go directly to filing i485 with proof that your abuse case was the reasons for your unlawful presence. I should also ask what led to your deportation? ( you may need form I212.) If you cannot establish a substantial connection, then you may file Form I-601. The waiver may be granted if your qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative (spouse or parent) would experience extreme hardship if you were denied admission. so your best bet is to establish a connection between your vawa case and your unlawful presence, since your mentioned not to having any relative.

@suleyman did you leave the country without permission to travel I.e form i131? when you have a pending application, you’re expected to submit this application and get approval before leaving. If this form is not approved or you’re found ineligible, that indicate leaving the country is not advisable and that your petition will be seen as abandoned. if you have the receipt notice of your vawa application, you can use the receipt number to see the status of your application. ps. How much unlawful presence you accrue before leaving determines your Barr duration.

@PPI I have never applied for 131 I just left the country I lost completely my psychology after my father passed away. I don’t know how long I was over stayed.Online status it show my case still pending and I never received approval notice but when my lawyer applied for out of processing time. it says before I left the country approved and i applied for consular processing i824.I am still waiting for them to transfer the case to NVC.I also want to know if the 10 year bar is that issue in my case?

@PP I I received 601 request with 212(a)(6)(c)(I), uscis saying i submitted misleading information during my f1 status. I really don’t recall what I did that time. how to address This? I am vawa approved as well. please help me

@PP I can I connect with you if you don’t mind

@pablo Romero Are you in the country-USA? What have you done about it so far Huge time passed but here is what I can say If I understand, you have received a letter requesting you file form i601, so I assume following your VAWA approval, your i485 application is being reviewed and they have found you inadmissible under Misrepresentation Under INA Section 212(a)(6)(c). it means you sought to procure an immigration benefit by misrepresenting a material fact. Was it revealed to you in your letter what was misrepresented? Common ones for F1 visa are NOT going to school, got expelled, did unauthorized employment or didn’t work while on OPT, false financial documents. At this point you will need to file i601 as requested stating that you or your U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or qualified parent or child would experience extreme hardship if you were denied.

@lus lus Sorry for your loss. It's completely normal to feel this way after losing a loved one. Has your case been transferred ? I’m no expert but I believe if you’ve left the country without obtaining a travel parole i131, your application is automatically rendered abandoned by you hence denied. So the 10 years bar is the least of your concern. If you do believe you were approved before you left then your receipt notice number should reflect that a decision is made on your application and you can use your USCIS account to ask them to send the approval notice to a different address. Then you can file i485 from abroad. i824 does not work for requesting action on an approved application or petition that was filed with USCIS.

@PP I thank you for your reply. my apologies, I am not checking app more often as all I get is depression from posts. I got the info about my rfe. actually it was misunderstanding from USCIS. I received rfe during my wava and I explained the same to them. yet they keep asking me the same. I could have easily explained what was the misunderstanding but my lawyer said we don’t need to get into it. it was about address mismatch, response is filed and case is with nbc right now. I assume it will go to local and I hope will get some positive response.
