Prima Facie
hey everyone, I just got a letter today with my first prima facie, I am not married to a U.S citizen but a lawful permanent resident so I haven’t filed EAD OR Travel authorization, my question is how can I use my prima facie for benefits please? It says I should be eligible to apply for public benefits but can someone tell me exactly how do I use it? thanks in advance.

hi you can file for work autorization even if your spouse is a green card holder. your attorney can file the I-765 form. however, you won’t be able to file for adjustment of status until a visa becomes available base on your priority date. Also, depending on the state your in, you can get public benefits like food stamps, Medicaid etc. just google the benefits you can receive with your PF

thank you so much, I didn’t know I was able to file EAD being that my spouse is a LPR I thought I had to wait for them to approve my VAWA before I am able to apply for EAD

You could apply for ead only based on adjustment of status I-485. And since your spouse is a green card holder then you will have to wait for the case to get approved and then file the I-485 and the EAD. This is what I know for sure. please check with a lawyer or many other people to make sure from your side

your lawyer should have let u file for your ead/travel documents it does not matter if he is citizen or green card holder. Nevertheless depending on where u live. you can apply for foodstamps not sure if u have a child with the abuser get food stamps for u and that child. you can apply for a drivers permit and license, you can go apply for Fafsa to go to any cuny college. apply for college. @Ms shorty do your GED. they have free nursing classes as well..
