Applying for Vawa while I485 and 130 are pending
Hi, I have questions for those who applied for Vawa while I485 and I130 from the GC marriage petition were pending.
How did you transfer them to your Vawa case? Will filing copies of notice I485 and I130 in my vawa petition automatically be transferred? Should I request abeyance for I485 and I130 when I file my Vawa?
After the transfer, what does the status of I485 and 130 say? Will any notice letter be sent to a lawyer who filed for GC marriage? My ex has the receipt numbers so that he can track them. I am afraid that he will find out about Vawa. Sharing any experience will be appreciated. Thank you. #vawa

you only need to file 360 include your receipt number they will change it over , if you have a interview before 360 is approved you then ask for abeyance , when filing our 360 you have the option of putting what address you want to put your husband don’t have to find out but if you guys live today he may find out if you guys get mail together

@call me Sam thank you so much for your help. I don’t live with my ex anymore, will include my new address.

@skylar . yes once you use your address he won’t find out about it because USCIS don’t give information on the phone about vawa case

@call me Sam thank you! that is relieving to know. do you know if any notice about transferring I485 and 130 or abeyance will be sent to the lawyer who helped my GC marriage with my ex? I just don’t know what to tell them since my ex and I are their clients.

@Aika Tok could you tell me what the case status of transfered I485 under Vawa say? my ex can keep tracking it since he has the receipt number.
skylar .Mar 30, 2023
@Aika Tok thank you for your comment. I am aware of all those things. I want to know what your I485 status say after you filed Vawa and If I485 got transferred or put in abeyance under Vawa when you track your case online.

@Aika Tok I see. we are having different situations then. May I ask why you filed a new I485? any disadvantages of using old I485? thank you so much for sharing your experience.

@Aika Tok I see, thank you for your explanation. yes, we have a different situation but thank you so much! I appreciate your time.

@Aika Tok I’m sorry you went through all of this. that is lots of work. May I ask why you needed/wanted to submit a new I485? was your old I485 abandoned?
skylar .Mar 31, 2023
@Aika Tok oh wow, I’m so sorry. that’s unfortunate but I admire your strength to do it by yourself. I really hope it will be paid off!!

@skylar . your lawyer will know how to file for you. they will tick on i-360 for mail to sent to a safe mail, which will be the lawyer address. your ex will not know anything, rest assured. your lawyer should also ask your filed office to hold i-485 in abeyance. i-130 will stay pending until i-485 is approved (after i-360 approval) and at that time I 130 will say: case closed, benefits received through over means, or something like that.
all your mail related your A#, which means all the cases you submitted will go to the lawyer address once they update the address as your safe address.

@A M thanks a lot!! it’s very informative. so you didn’t request change of address for your old 485 and 130 after you filed Vawa? I was thinking about doing that.
I am at a new place now, and wrote my new address on 360. safe address is my new address. I expect that my lawyer will receive mails too. is that correct?
and yes, my lawyer is helping me but it’s very slow to get answers. I hope all will be fine in the end, but right now this unknown process making me anxious to prepare… thank you so much for your help.
