VAWA Case- Prima Facie before biometrics?
Hey Fam,
Is it possible to get Prima Facie before your biometrics being applied to your case? or they have to take your prints before Prima Facie? or it doesn't matter? pls share your experience. It has been 3 months since my package was received and no biometrics reuse letter or Prima Facie. Thnk u

yes it is possible, I got mines after 3 months. it simply means that they have examined your case and affirmed that you qualify for vawa.

@Abra, thank you for responding..so when did they re-use your biometrics? or unless you didn't have them on file already?
Abi KenFeb 19, 2022
@Abra I know people without PF who got approved so PF is just an access to some benefits while waiting on a VAWA decision

February 2021, I did new biometrics my PD is October 2020. K, we are both right.

it’s been 7 months I send my 360 I only did biometrics but I never get prima facie
Abi KenFeb 21, 2022
@celso mines a year already and no PF
leo lanceFeb 21, 2022
omg that is crazy..but have you done biometrics at least? @ K
leo lanceFeb 21, 2022
@celso, 7 months is long 😭
Abi KenFeb 21, 2022
@leo They used my old Bio and I’ve gotten a Two years Work permit and AP since June 2021
leo lanceFeb 21, 2022
ooh ok, that is good then, at least you can work @K
leo lanceFeb 21, 2022
how long did it take for them to use your old bio after packet submission? It has been three months for me and I haven't heard anything from them. i was hoping they would use my old biometrics @ K
Abi KenFeb 21, 2022
@leo, do you have a marriage-based application pending? i have one pending was why they were able to use
leo lanceFeb 21, 2022
Yes i do but my lawyer had requested to put it on Freeze. We wrote a letter to the local office and then i filed for VAWA. I filed for Vawa 3 months after my biometrics, so definitely they will re use my biometrics am assuming. I see people getting reuse letter after 6 weeks and sometimes after 3 weeks after filing the packet, that's why am a bit suprised with my case file 😩 @ K
Celso Pineda RamírezFeb 22, 2022
K do you have any updates from the day they get your application
Abi KenFeb 22, 2022
@leo Don’t be surprised, remember we all have different officers attached to our cases, regardless in 2 years and 3months in MAXIMUM You will have a good news 💯.
@celso, no updates other than my RFE of Background check received update, other than no more update and I don’t expect none until it says “New Card Is Being Produced” or “i360 Approval Notice” 😉
leo lanceFeb 22, 2022
@K, you are so right. It depends with the officer you get. I like your spirit, very positive. Keep it up. I was told to send in an FBI background report to avoid RFE for background. It normally seals the deal, but who knows. The waiting game continues.
Celso Pineda RamírezFeb 22, 2022
@@@@K when they ask for RFE
Abi KenFeb 22, 2022
@Celso, They asked Three months after sending my case in I guess after a brief review and knowing the background check is missing
Celso Pineda RamírezFeb 22, 2022
@@K on my case they never ask for anything my lawyer send fbi finger prints attached to my aplicación
Abi KenFeb 22, 2022
@celso, that’s why I said all you gotta do is wait for Two years and three months at Max and you will hear a good news I’m sure
Celso Pineda RamírezFeb 22, 2022
@@@ K thank you keep updating on your case too please I hope to hear a good news also in your case
leo lanceFeb 23, 2022
@K, i finally got my Prima Facie today. A huge step for me. It was dated February 14.

I got both my prima facie & notice that my biometrics will be reused end of January 2022. Guess now I play the waiting game.
leo lanceFeb 24, 2022
@cow moo, when did they receive your package?
olive oilFeb 24, 2022
Nov 1st 2021
leo lanceFeb 24, 2022
ok, so it takes at least 3 months to get prima facie.. hopefully i now get the reuse bio letter. Did the letters come all at once? @cow moo..
olive oilFeb 24, 2022
Not always some folks wave waited months for theirs I really think it depends on your case, other people don’t get the Prima Facie at all
leo lanceFeb 24, 2022
@cow moo, yes, you are very correct.
