how did you expedite your I360?

Congratulations

this is not up to one year, please how did you expedite please tell us

can you let us know how you do that and congratulations 🎊🍾🎈🎉

Can you please let us know did you expedite? Thought Vawa case can't expedite

your expedite was approved ?

wow this is interesting and I claim it in Jesus name!!! we have the same processing period in between approval.. just that my PD was July and hers was May. so by August I’ll get my I-360 approved too!!!

@ade ayo she said she expedited it but haven't explained how she did

congrats!!

@abbey through my attorney

do you know he expedited @kat

kat@ what was your attorney name?

for everyone: I had an attorney and a very iron clad vawa case with ALOT of hard evidence (not hearsay) that can can be proven. It was expedited because I was diagnosed with a very rare disease three months into submitting application that is life threatening (I just had major surgery because of it a week ago- recovering slowly) and my US born son is also disabled (I’m his carer)…. I also am on the front lines as a professional (sometimes this helps)- I am a PhD. it was granted on humanitarian reasons to provide stability for my family and seek intensive medical treatment. Note: every case is different, but you need a very good attorney and extremely good iron clad evidence to prove vawa cases.

@kat makes sense thank you !!!

Kat@ I am sorry. stay strong and god bless you.

thank you guys… just know you will be notified soon of your cases. I wish you the best. I have lived in the USA for 7.5yrs (moved from Australia) and my abuse edured for 6yrs and very publicly too. I’m glad I’m no longer a victim but a survivor 🥰

@siva it was thru legal aid in Washington D.C… was on the waitlist for 9mths before I could get an attorney.

@kat you have made it. congratulations 🎉🎈🍾. I got friends from Australia too but they left. hope you will be cured and live happily praying to god for you. take care

siva… unfortunately there is no cure. but thank you…. hugs for you… faith and patience you will make it too 🤗💞

kat…. thank you. if you live in Dallas and need help hmu. hugs received and sent one for you.😊

congratulations

congratulations

@ kat I'm sorry to hear your story and congratulations. can you give me your lawyer information?

@steve it’s legal aid dc

@siva of course, you too if ever in dc

congratulations 🎉

@pray - again I was with LEGAL AID i did not pay anything- I was accepted for a grant under legal aid for an attorney but the application itself I had to pay on my own $2100 for and the medical cost me $1000

congratulations

kat how did you send the expedite ?

@nicolas pz and @ny usa….. my attorney expedited it.

can I get the name of your attorney? I have a similar situation

my attorney is thru legal aid in dc. you have to be a dc resident to see them

look up Ayuda, do intake (to determine eligibility) and apply for legal aid. I was on their wait list for 12mths. they have very long wait lists. good luck…. there is no cutting corners.

hi @kat did you expeduate based on trauma PTSD ? something like those? can we talk private I am some serious health issues

@garyp no I didn’t expedite on ptsd (which I was only diagnosed 5wks ago)… I was diagnosed with a rare disease which requires ongoing treatment and also required a major operation in May 2022. im still recovering from op. I had other reasons as well - continuous abuse from ex

hi Kat can I please get your lawyers number

I can’t give contact details of my attorney. it’s through legal aid. Assigned by intake case by case, and only eligible if you are a resident of Washington D.C. for 6mths or more.

I am resident of DC

call ayuda

@kat did you go through senator or did you. directly send the expedite request to Vermont? how long after you submitted the expedite request, did they expedite?

manpreet - read comments in this thread… I just told you I had only a lawyer…. I was assigned a legal aid lawyer after 9mths of waiting in 2020… expedite was completed by attorney who put the evidence and cover letter together to send to Vermont. My vawa visa was approved after expediting after 3mths. I have also expedited my I-485… I’m still waiting for any response. it’s been 7mths. If you have a lawyer, you need to talk to them about whether your case is appropriate for expediting. You can’t expedite based on the fact you want the process to speed up! uscis can deny your application if you are dishonest and cannot back up your story (no paper trail evidence- this makes your story stand out - a story based on personal hearsay and no evidence will take longer), delaying it even further. for those here thinking that the using the “best” lawyer is going to make your application process speed up, believe me it won’t!!! Please also be aware that cases are seen case by case… your story is very different to mine. uscis have criterias that they stick to and use at their discretion. Honestly, my advice- you need a lawyer to help navigate and submit requirements… try not to complete applications by yourself, one mistake can lead to unnecessary delays or denial of application

@kat I totally agree. I am in a similar or even worse circumstances and have hard core evidence, both as part of original application and even for expedite. hence I have been seeking more guidance. thank you for your ongoing guidance :) I will keep you posted as well

@nyusa I am not an attorney- please consult with an immigration attorney to determine whether your case should be and is appropriate to be expedited. I cannot give you that answer

hi @kat did you get notified that your expedite request is approved after the request was sent, or did you directly get a decision after 3 months of sending the request

no i waited 3mths for a response for i360…. I’ve expedited my i485, 4mths ago, still no response.
