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.

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..
