Did u received an RFE? Not all lawyers are good and expects when it comes to VAWA. Some lawyers are just there to see u fail. there’s a lawyer in Worcester- MA. Bethel Law, she’s extremely good and I mean very very good. you can look her up and I know for sure, she can help and she isn’t going to take that crazy amount from u. this is ridiculous. How and why are they charging you to appeal again? smh

B AFeb 10, 2026
@Leo thanks for your kind words and recommendation I will surely look them up and see how it goes. I wish I get someone who has been through this situation and a lawyer who actually helped.

sorry about that. what city do you live in?
Ivan bFeb 10, 2026
@B A what happened to your initial 485? did you file VaWa after it got the denial? I see that your 485 and 360 both have same date. I assume you didn’t hold the first 485? If your initial 485 got the denial and after you filed VaWa and submit 485 along with it maybe you were out of status for a while? @B A

@B A are you from the Ban or partial ban country (39)? please answer it’s important.
B
B AFeb 10, 2026
@Ivan b the lawyer file both around the same time and when the i360 got denied the i485 got denied automatically
B
B AFeb 10, 2026
@Amber Bergamot I submitted affidavit from from friends and families for the rfe that’s it that’s all the lawyer submitted but I don’t know if that was the reason for denial though

@Dani M M thanks for the advice

@princess Labby no

Launica oneFeb 10, 2026
Sorry to hear about that, I believe the reason is the late RFE response. The deadline is 87 days and your response was 92 days.
B
B AFeb 10, 2026
@Launica one I don’t know yet but that makes sense my lawyer waited until the last day of expiry before they filed and that was very troubling

What did you submit in your initial package for good faith marriage? Do you have what was submitted to USCIS? Were you in removal when you got married? Also, if USCIS received your RFE response late, that could be grounds for denial. You could find a VAWA nonprofit in your area to help you with your appeal.
alhamdullah AlhamdullahFeb 10, 2026
what did you get denid for VAWA or the I-485 ?

@i’ll be happy @Beetle Juice it states I did not proof enough evidence of residing together with the spouse since I was not on the lease. also not good faith marriage and some inconsistency in my self affidavit and supplemental affidavit. in all my lawyer didn’t do due diligence and screwed me up
C DFeb 15, 2026
@B A oh no, I’m sorry are you planning to appeal? How much evidence did you submit in total with the initial filing, and how much additional evidence did you provide in response to the RFE? Can you please list everything you’ve submitted so far?

no shared residence is a huge red flag. did you have a joint bank account at least? also the marraige is less than 1 year so I’m assuming no join tax returns? these are classic mistakes they want people to make.
