I wanted to ask your opinion, my vawa case is processing but I still don't even have the work permit, is this normal, is it really taking? or is there something wrong?

inquire through Congress. vawa doesn't respond call or such thing as calling

vawa case inquiry is only communicated via writing.

you need to send a letter to Vermont office by post. until your vawa is approved, you won’t get a work permit. mine took 4 years (2017-2021) but that was because of errors from my lawyer. when I withdrew counsel and started working on my case myself, I got a response that my vawa was approved 2yrs ago(2019)! I. e processing times was less that 2 years but I didn’t get the approval until 4yrs after applying. (2021) contact your congressman/woman ASAP! request expedite of your i765 with proof of loss of healthcare/finances etc. finance alone is not sufficient !

You should definitely give them a call to find out whats happening. Im doing vawa as well, I've been doing this for 125 days know, i already have my social & work permit, i have my second court in a few weeks.

@N P what is your court date for ?
k
katiana B.Sep 6, 2021
vawa cases are top security for your own safety and not all uscis officials have access to your file. no office will ever give you a response on phone! write yourself. they won’t even respond to a 3rd party on hour behalf. only your lawyer if you have one, and you must sign the g28 allowing your lawyer seek information on your behalf, in writing. vawa doesn’t send people to court. you only get a court case if your vawa is denied and you are in removal proceedings or your previous case type landed you in that. let’s give detailed and educated information if we are to help each other and not instill unnecessary fear.

@n p , you have vawa right ? not sure how you are having court date based on vawa ?? is it divorce ? or interview

Diego BritoSep 6, 2021
thanks !! God bless you all !!

katiana B.Sep 6, 2021
oh sorry @ beautiful thing. I didn’t realize the numerous posts. perhaps the network. I’ll logout and log in again.
N PSep 6, 2021
Its not divorce or interview. Its actually court, not sure why mine is diferent, maybe the state, & yes vawa
t
tanzy flySep 6, 2021
@n p when did you apply ??? I never saw anyone going to court for vawa ! maybe you're in removal proceeding ?
N PSep 6, 2021
Yeah thats right because removal proceeding. I applied on april.
k
katiana B.Sep 6, 2021
@NP , just my 2 cents ; if you have an approved vawa with c31 ead, this should cancel your removal proceedings. unless if you’re still on a different category of ead. check with a lawyer ASAP. www.avvo.com has lawyers with free and prompt responses if you don’t have a lawyer or need a second opinion. I hope all goes well with your case.

I called the office in Vermont but they only talk about the status of your case, I can't talk to a human being... my lawyer says that unfortunately the only thing is wait... I'm a nurse I can't stand this life here anymore, I want work, I want to live!
N PSep 6, 2021
@ diego brito, i wish you the best luck, that everything turns out good for you!

tanzy flySep 6, 2021

@ladyb b did he ever abused you?

flaviiea kikSep 6, 2021
if you applied under c09 you should get the work permit within the processing time , if it’s under c31 then you have to wait until the vawa application is approved to get the EAD card .
ladyb ladybSep 6, 2021

@Krish, I didn’t withdraw my file from USCIS, I withdrew legal representation due to several errors made by my attorney whom I was paying heavily! everyone, you see, my case took a while and is still in process but I’m hopeful. i am not an attorney or legal representative but I have learned a lot of things in this process. please use all the help you can , to avoid such delays. hopefully you have an active lawyer who is interested in helping you succeed. best wishes to everyone on the immigration journey

Thank you so much to everyone, for sharing what you know, and helping each other out. but what would be “congressperson”? How do I find one? is it a paid job? how much?
k
katiana B.Sep 7, 2021
@ Diego, it is a free service. google ‘House of Representatives’ for your state e. g in google search , enter House of Representatives or congressperson for Missouri . then enter your district or check under the map. that’s how I found mine. I’m not sure if there is an easier way …

katiana B.Sep 7, 2021
you’re welcome @ Krish and everyone. may God bless us all and grant us all peace, patience and positive results.
