How do you afford yourself if you don’t have EAD while you waiting for VAWA approval?
I came to the US and got married with my ex, unfortunately it did not work out. I submitted I-765 along with VAWA on February 2023, and hasn’t been decided yet, which means I have been with no income. Is there anyone who is in the same situation as me? How do you live with that? I REALLY need EAD at least right now.

tengo el permiso de viaje aprobado pero no lo eh usado 🙄 como viajo sino trabajo

@sam Dami C31. actually I needed to look them up what they were, and found out that c31 is “VAWA self-petitioners with an approved Form I-360” by USCIS. I’ve submitted EAD with I-360 together, so obviously my I-360 was not approved at any time.

@Rui Morito alguien me recomendó que hiciera el i765 bajo categoría c09 porque le paso lo mismo y a los 7 meses le llego el permiso, yo llevo 5 meses esperando que lo hice asi otra vez

@la espera desespera I’m sorry I can’t speak Spanish but I used translator and understood what you were saying. Filing 765 Double would not affect the process? I was wondering if I should file EAD with c9 again, but I did not know if I could.

if you had filed I-765 based on pending I-485 then you will receive a c9 ead
la espera desesperaOct 3, 2024
@Rui Morito No, the young woman who spoke to me, according to her experience, she only sent the i765 under c9 and her work permit arrived after 7 months. My lawyer did it again, they accepted the papers I sent and they waived my fee.

@Rui Morito you can still file the C9 category EAD
Kay Action 🤺🤺🤺Oct 4, 2024
@Rui Morito please go and file a new I-765 under C@ category asap. cuz if it’s C31 then you will wait years until the approve your VAWA before you can get your EAD. so please don’t waste time and do the needful so that you can start working and make money to keep yourself afloat pending when your case will be approved okay 👍🏽. best of luck 🙏🏾

@bolaji imran thank god that I posted my question here. thank you Will do. Do you know where I should file to? I’ve looking at the chart where to file from USCIS, but I don’t know which one is the best description for me waiting VAWA approval. Do you have any ideas? option is here; 1. Pending family-based Form I-485, application to register Permanent Resident or Adjust Status, 2. Pending employment-based Form I-485, 3. Pending Form I-485 based on: an approved form I-360 as a battered spouse/child/parent, T nonimmigrant status, U nonimmigrant status, or as an abused spouse or abused child of a qualifying Cuban Adjustment Act of Nov. 2, 1996, eligible spouse or parent.

@Rui Morito that's a copy of what my lawyer used to renew my EAD. This should be all you need. I tried to edit out some stuff so numbers may be off :)
Rui Morito Oct 4, 2024
@Kerry S omg thank you so much Kerry!!! that will help me a lot!!!!!
Rui Morito Oct 4, 2024
@Kerry S oh actually, did you say option (2)? it’s employment-based tho
Kerry SOct 4, 2024
@Rui Morito my bad. When you're completing the I-765, select the (c)(9) option. It states it explicitly on the form- EAD based on pending I-485
Rui Morito Oct 5, 2024
@Kerry S you good! but I know I need to select c9 but I’m wondering where I should mail to. There are 3 options to send. that’s what I was asking!
Kay Action 🤺🤺🤺Oct 5, 2024
@Kerry S that’s the right step to take and it’s well listed out with what’s needed to be attached to the form. thanks Kerry for the information. well spelt out and thanks for looking out as well. appreciate it.
GOD HAVE MERCYOct 5, 2024
@Rui Morito Mail the Form I-765 to Vermont Center and include evidence of the hardship you are going through since you left your husband. Better still, you can approach to live in Shelter and also get some benefits from state using your PF
Kerry SOct 5, 2024
@Rui Morito the address is included at the bottom of the list I shared instructing you on what to include in your application
Kerry SOct 5, 2024
@bolaji imran no prob. We're here to help each other.
Rui Morito Oct 6, 2024
@Kerry S oh I’m sorry I didn’t notice and thank you so much !
Rui Morito Oct 6, 2024
@AUG 22 thank you so much! I will attach as much evidence as possible.
Kerry SOct 6, 2024
@Rui Morito you're welcome but you don't need to send evidence of hardship. You are eligible to apply for I-765 if you have a pending I-485. Besides the form and what I mentioned, that's it!
Rui Morito Oct 8, 2024
@Kerry S oh really I didn’t know that thank you!
