FINANCIAL AID WITH PENDING VAWA
hello,i got a pending vawa since march 4th 2022 .
i never received a prima facie i only got a 5 years advance parole and a 5 years employment authorization.
i want to go to school for my LPN .can i apply for FAFSA? if yes under which category.i feel so sad because i’ve been in the country since 2015 i want to go back to school, i want to have a career i’ve been waiting for my vawa to get approved for over 3 years now. my ex husband is not helping me with our child,i need to have a sturdy income.
I’m exhausted, this process is eating me alive .,sometimes ifeel like giving up.😤

you need prima facie letter , expedite your case and send the reasons, expedition means nothing these days is same timelines but you might made them notice your case
Question MarkAug 24, 2025
apply and the school will ask you and don’t forget some schools don’t know about vawa and it’s benefits so you will need to explain to them and make sure you speak to the financial advisor who will do her research on it.i went through the same thing @waiting game

@waiting game With prima facie maybe you have a chance, without it it's not possible.
