Cannsomeone tell me more about Prima Facie Determination
Hi everyone,
I’m a VAWA self-petitioner and received a Prima Facie Determination for my I-360. It’s valid until September 23, 2025. My attorney contacted me saying they can file a response to extend it before the expiration date, but they want $250 for it.( I don’t understand why do I need to response to extend)
However, the USCIS letter says that if a decision hasn’t been made, the Prima Facie can be extended automatically within 60 days.
I’m not sure if I should pay the attorney to file something now or just wait or should I do it by myself or it’s just not important
Also, I’m trying to understand:
• How important is this Prima Facie Determination?
• What exactly does it give me — just public benefits or legal protection too?( I don’t need any benefits)
• Does it affect my I-360 approval or is it just temporary proof of eligibility?
I’d really appreciate if someone could explain or share their experience. Thanks so much!

Bro, don't pay anything, they will renew it automatically.
You can apply for public benefits, houses, food stamps, or by government help.
I advise you , do not apply for government benefits right now, because the situations is not really great now.

you all need to start putting this lawyers names so other people can avoid them, because I see no reason why your lawyer is trying to exploit you like this..

@Maria Kaprin Tell your lawyer you don’t want to pay to extend the PF and you don’t need it. Uscis will automatically extend the PF before it gets expired. Your lawyer is trying to cheat you. Do not give him any money.
