VAWA based GREEN CARD APPROVED, NO INTERVIEW
Here's a quick summary of my journey.
Jan 2020 - reached out to an attorney. He suggested applying for VAWA.
For the next 3 years, I'd get a lot of EAD every year, sometimes with gaps which resulted in the employer laying me off due to no work authorization.
I wasn't able to travel either until I finally received my travel permit I-131 in April 2022 which was valid for one year until April 2023.
Mar 2023 - VAWA petition approved.
Aug 2023 - I-485 RFE - medical exam
Nov 2023 - Today I received an email from my lawyer with a photocopy of my green card. I checked MyUSCIS and it confirms that my I-485 was approved last week.
This was my journey of about 4 years from the beginning of applying for VAWA until my green card was approved.
There's another 5 years before that where I had to deal with USCIS, spouse, divorce, etc. that part was all done without a lawyer and I wish I had picked one sooner. After 9 years my struggle finally ends and I am a free person who can travel and see the world.
It seems like my green card was approved without needing to do an interview.
Good luck everyone, I'm out #vawa #ead #greencard

VAWA victims are eligible to apply for a Citizenship in 3 years
Davis CNov 8, 2023
@sam sam, but that's everyone who can apply for citizenship after having a green card. Everyone who holds a green card is eligible to neutralize and become a US citizen after 5 years but in reality everyone can apply for neutralization after 2.5 years. You need to have stayed in the US for 912.5 days = 2.5 years in order to be eligible so there is no difference from what you just said
