Automatic extension
Hello,
it’s been about 6 weeks since I my lawyer sent a renewal request for my work permit expiring in March but I still haven’t received my receipt yet and online nothing is showing.
At work they’ve already started sending me reminders to verify my I-9
I wanted to know does the automatic extension depends on the receipt or do we do something else?
I’m panicking! #vawa #workpermit #renewal
Case is Ready to be Scheduled for Interview
Question…
My vawa was Approved in April, I’m already divorced. My 1-485 is pending, got Rfe for BC in June. now my case status is ready to be scheduled for Interview for the past 105 days. I would like to be remarried but my attorney said if I remarried before my 1-485 is approved, my vawa will be cancelled. May God give Everyone strength who’s going through this process #VAWA #I485
Maintaining Legal Status with VAWA
HI guys,
My husband is an LPR and I am on H1. I have applied for VAWA full package in March and around the same time my H1 got approved. If i get my work permit should I work on my work permit or should I continue working on my H1? Can anyone help me with this situation. My H1 job is getting hectic by the day and I also have to take care of my son. SO i want to work on my work permit and look for another job so that I will be able to provide for my son. #Vawa #legal status
My VAWA case has just been approved
It's just been approved without interview last night and now it says I can receive my green card soon. This journey took over 2 years. I am so happy with it. People told me it wouldn't work out because I am a man, not a woman. So I applied it anyway, but on the other hand, I was always worried a bit. I really appreciate my attorney and friends who wrote the statements for me. Hope all you can also get your green card.

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
