Case Denied :(
“On November 7, 2025, we denied your Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant, Receipt Number #x. We sent you a denial notice that explains why we denied your case and your options. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your denial notice by November 22, 2025, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice.”
My ex wife physically abused me 4 years ago and caught a felony case that night for it. I was evaluated from a VAWA center saying I was battered. I did have a violation of protective order felony 7 years ago, and a DUI dismissal 2 years ago. how is this possible? after waiting for more than 3 years.. this is one of the worst days in my life 😔

Don’t feel defeated as this is not the end of your VAWA journey. Wait to see the content of the denial notice and let us know. There has to be a way out.

@C M , do you have Police Report & Medical Report of your Spouse Physical abuse? I hope it’s not bcos of Previous Divorce. I envisage there must be another way out to get your VAWA Approval
GOD HAVE MERCYNov 8, 2025
@C M your processing time / decision time is really fast. Though, this negative decision made the waiting extremely bad. Continue to fight your case
C MNov 8, 2025
@jul 22 Amen. I received like 8 PFs
C MNov 8, 2025
@Tee Boy It’s okay. I’m hoping we can make a strong appeal for an approval 🙏🏽 yes I got asked for evidence of good faith marriage, and my court documents from 2 prior cases.
C MNov 8, 2025
@GOD HAVE MERCY I wish you good luck 🙏🏽 yes I had a police report and she got 2 felonies that night!! crazy how my case got denied. Lawyer all the time talked about how strong this case was. I will let you know what kind of denial I got.. there is a way because there is a God! 🙏🏽

God's Grace is enough for Me God's ChosenNov 8, 2025
@ C M Please, be courageous, don't loose faith, this is not the end. Good news will be next after this.
C MNov 8, 2025
@ob o They asked for RFE like a month ago for this evidence:
Evidence of your ex-wife’s immigration status (only had a picture of her drivers license)
Proof that you lived together (apartment lease, car insurance, joint bank accounts, etc.)
(only had 3 years of taxes with both of our names filing married with same address)
Good Faith Marriage (similar to the above anything you can show to prove the marriage was real: joint bank accounts, new affidavits from friends confirming your relationship, etc.)
(had a lot of pictures and affidavits from friends acknowledging marriage)
Good Moral Character You must go to the police department in every county where you have lived and request what is called a Clearance Letter.
(I have a violation of protective order felony charge against me in 2017 and a DUI that was dismissed in 2023)
Ena 22Nov 8, 2025
@C M they denied my 485 after interviewing. heart breaking
C MNov 8, 2025
@umer ghulam why did they deny you for last time? did you have to start the whole process over again when you applied again?
C MNov 8, 2025
@Mohammad Khan Thank you brotha 🙏🏽
C MNov 8, 2025
@John Lori Yes it’s tough 😔 I’m hoping we can make a strong appeal this week when we ready the denial notice
C MNov 8, 2025

Question MarkNov 8, 2025
@cm first of all I would like to send my deepest sympathy this is something no one wished on his enemies and I believe getting the right lawyer would help.but after going through all this comments there’s something no one is telling you and it’s the felony charges on your history because this administration would do anything to weed out matter of fact it’s one thing they looking for and I think that’s where your problem probably came from…seek help from a very professional lawyer there would or might be away around.Good luck
Question MarkNov 8, 2025
@cm both of those charges alone doesn’t make you qualify for a person of good moral character.
God's Grace is enough for Me God's ChosenNov 8, 2025
@C M The Grace of Almighty God will be with you and your family. I shall be well.
june filter 2023Nov 8, 2025
Wow, that sucks. They sent you multiple Prima Facie and after such a long wait they denied it — that’s really scary. You should talk to or hire a good attorney to see if they can reopen your case or file an appeal. My case is with Moumita Rahman — you should call and ask if they can do something. They are specialists in VAWA cases. Also please keep posted what reason they denied for whenever you receive notice handy
black cat black catNov 8, 2025
it’s because of the charges probably. keep fighting your case.
ob oNov 8, 2025
@C M maybe its the felony.. what is your lawyer saying? did you go for any correctional classes after wards? did u do volunteer work? lets just wait and see why it was denied and we proceed from there
jack jagNov 8, 2025
@Ena 22 can you please elaborate why they denied your i485 ? 🙏
yamahar6 mohdNov 8, 2025

@jack jag I had no idea. still waiting on notice to arrive
jack jagNov 8, 2025
@Ena 22 after approval of vawa , immigration journey gets easier. please let me know why it denied.
Ena 22Nov 8, 2025

jack jagNov 8, 2025
@Ena 22 I hear ya , same here , it’s driving me forever.

@C M Sorry to see this. I think you can file a I-290B motion and consider refilling the VAWA agin. please check with a great attorney. all the best.
Launica oneNov 9, 2025
@Daniel D D Your comment is irrelevant.
ob oNov 9, 2025
@Question Mark i told him same rhing. felony must be the problem. dui dismissal.. i dont really get that but dui is a big deal here, they must have requested for his case file. still, lets see if there was another reason. I blame the lawyer for not advising him properly
blessed nikayNov 10, 2025
@C M I understand. at this point it does not matter that the citizen abuser has a felony it matters that u had gotten a felony. with this government now that's what they looked at a d dismissed the case.. I think. but see what u can do. reopen the case . call the chidolue law firm 407 995 6567

The State Department said on X that criminal convictions accounted for almost half of all visa revocations, including more than 16,000 for DUIs, more than 12,000 for assault and more than 8,000 for theft.
8,000 revoked visas were student visas.
Ms.Happy Sabbath :)Nov 10, 2025
@C M I’m so sorry to hear that but this is not the end yet, please be ready when you get their reason why they deny it and work it out again.
Ms.Happy Sabbath :)Nov 10, 2025
@Ena 22 They should not deny you like that maybe it is a glitch! when you get the letter let us know you have to do a counter affidavit on this one they should not deny you.
Ena 22Nov 10, 2025
@Ms.Happy Sabbath :) yea! I am shocked. just waiting on the letter now n
Jan 2025Nov 10, 2025
you got denied because of your felony charges like you violated the protective order is that reason ? now I am scared to because I had the samething and was dismissed the case. I violated the protective orders because of her lies she made me to violate the protective orders and i stated everything in my statement when i filed vawa Jan 2025,
E SNov 11, 2025
did you get your letter yet, hopefully they explain it wil than see if you can do a motion to reopen
🙏 SINov 11, 2025
i agree with @Question Mark i believe is the felony you have and the dui is very recent even if it was dismissed. im so sorry and i hope you make a strong appeal 🙏
umer ghulamNov 13, 2025

@C M any updates???
nkr ttNov 22, 2025
@I eat raw garlic I think bro is disappeared 🥲
I eat raw garlicNov 23, 2025
@nkr tt must be devastated 💔
nkr ttNov 23, 2025
@I eat raw garlic I get that, but how he’s expected us to comment and give opinion on his situation with proving details on RFE, my feelings are telling me it’s a felony charges
I eat raw garlicNov 25, 2025
@nkr tt one of the vawa conditions are good moral character, with felony charges he can't overcome that or maybe it's highly difficult especially with the current immigration conditions
umer ghulamDec 2, 2025
Hi CM Hope you okay can I ask questions what's The reason For DN
thanks
god blessedDec 4, 2025
@C M what was the reason for denial?
chris rodDec 10, 2025
@C M hello what was the denial for did you got your notice
Mein GanduJan 15, 2026
In the time where petty theft done during teenage years is also considered a red flag, and a reason to deny it, you had a felony and a DUI which is kind of a reddest flag in their logic, and when they see this all alarms go off and a reason to deny it. Sorry to hear but try again, and justify its all cleared and you are a changed person. Focus on good moral character bullet point.
