Has Anyone Been Approved for VAWA Without Receiving Prima Facie Determination?
Has anyone been approved for a VAWA self-petition without ever receiving a prima facie determination from USCIS?
I know prima facie isn’t required for final approval, but most approved cases mention getting it. If you were approved without one:
1. What was your timeline? (e.g., "Applied → RFE → Approval")
2. Did your case have unusually strong evidence (police reports, medical records, etc.)?
3. How long after applying did you get approval?
Just trying to understand if this happens! Thanks for sharing your experience.
