You get C31 after Vawa approval you should have applied for C09 which used to take 5months and close to a year now. it's not too late you can apply for CO9 if you want to.

I applied for c09 they chose to put me under c31 @M G S

@Ayoosh who did? They go by what you choose unless your lawyer or whoever did it chose that category.

nope my lawyer selected c09 and I received receipt from uscis and it says category c31

I waited for 3 years to get my work permit which came together with the greencard after VAWA approval.

@Gods Child I’m waiting for 3.6 years no work permit no prima facie. I have requested for expedite request.

I’ve applied c31 renewal OMG if I knew I’ll go for c09 it’s now over 8 months I’ve applied only get receipt so now@M G S I have to wait for vawa approval? I’m so desapointed

The same thing happened to me; they requested the C31 form, and I've been waiting for over a year. I only recently requested the C09 form because they didn't request the correct one initially.

it should have c9 , c31 gotta wait till aprove

C09 is only available when you have a current priority date. So, If you married to a green card holder, you can't get C09.

@Riri Riri my lawyer sent the whole package with I-360 ( green card, work authorization and travel permit ) they sent my travel permit to different city 2 years and not correcting and re sending me new one despite so much service request made by my lawyers. they are cooking me on purpose as if I wasn’t cooked enough by my abuser.

@D T my ex husband is American citizen and we’ve been married 2 years.

I’ve called the uscis and spoken to tier 2 officer and requested expedite request due to financial hardship I mean I was literally cooking him in the phone call? I’m close to deadline of VAWA time line like make it make sense? 3.5 years how am I not supposed to expedite my case due to financial hardship as if I’ve got a sugar daddy funding my life? he was nervous and told me he’s gonna forward my case and situation and have the SCOPS call me directly if they need more evidence. because honestly I’m tired of this. I’m losing my child bearing age, 3.5 years I’ve been living off of my friends money and house.

just be patient… trust me you will get through I did not receive a prima facie and my case got approved the I-360

@alhamdullah Alhamdullah hi !! u never get PF ?? I’m from November 2022 and I never get a Prima facie !

@Riri Riri it’s c31 I applied for c09 in 2024 they didn’t respond. I have sent several inquiries they are not responding to my mails or service request.

@Riri Riri so e-request and service request are two different things. tier 2 officer booked and info pass appointment for me at the federal plaza and asked me to explain my situation but the officers at the building said they don’t have my file in their department so they can’t help me and since my case is sensitive I have to call the uscis to make a service request ( which means the tier 2 officer make an inquiry about my case internally with the department that’s handling my case) so I guess I’m expecting a call soon from that department if they require any evidence needed to expedite my case because I got one hell if proof of financial debts and housing instability for the last 3.5 years.

@Riri Riri I applied for c09 in Feb 2024 I never received reciept notice so I made inquiry.

I am asked to leave my friends house in January and Ramadan starts in February I’m going to be homeless and in streets. at least god have mercy on me.

@ALss ryz yes I’ve never got it. I got approved last year and I filed in 2021. as far as I know this year do 2022 and 2023

did you file under C 09 ?

@Errol Gooding yes.

@Ayoosh I very much strongly believe @alhamdullah Alhamdullah, your approval is imminent. I know the feeling and frustration you are facing take it from someone who had lived in shelters, friends home, broke and the list goes on and on. But God, my God the Lord Jesus Christ. Hold on dear its coming, what you are not expecting. 🫂

@In Jesus name. Amen! thank you. 🙏
