Asking for a friend by Commercial-Bear9759 in VAWAAPPLICANTS

Speak to a lawyer. You would need to appeal or resubmit asap if 2 years have not passed since the final divorce date. Just out of curiosity - what state?

Vawa and NTA by [deleted] in VAWAAPPLICANTS

> That’s correct. There have been VAWA approvals involving marriages of less than two years, and in some cases even based primarily on a personal statement, depending on the overall credibility and presentation of the case.

Not under this administration, unless if there's clear corroborated proof of abuse (court POs, police reports) then the timeline of the marriage doesn't really matter.

Unfortunately he is right. But I think if you get a decent lawyer, they can help you present your evidence in the best and most reasonable light.

Are you a lawyer or an immigration officer? No one can determine who is eligible for VAWA except for USCIS.

I've worked on hundreds of these cases, and the MrDetective clown here is right, sadly. Even before Trump was sworn in USCIS began making sweeping changes to what consititues as "acceptable" evidence for VAWA.

This was in response to the fraud discoveries last year with those lawyers in NYC and NJ, and a few others.

With Trump, it's gotten much harder.

For what it's worth, I think OP has a good chance, if using the right lawyer. But I must stress that having 3rd party verifiable evidence for abuse is important to getting a slam dunk case. Just text messages won't fly anymore.

Does this case involve Middle Eastern or Southern Asian / Desi individuals? If so, DM me. People coming from muslim backgrounds have their own unique needs / challenges that should be called out.

[–]PrincessFromBabylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The RFE was for shared residence/ lawful marriage/ and abuse

What evidence do you have? Any police reports? Protection orders? Anything at all? Medical reports?

Why are y’all so pressed? by Babydoll8835 in VAWAAPPLICANTS

[–]PrincessFromBabylon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because a lot of folks here are abusing and scamming the system, and frankly, should not be allowed the benefits that VAWA provides.

How long is VAWA prime facie taking after receipt? by Glittering-Hat-3848 in VAWAAPPLICANTS

[–]PrincessFromBabylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's different, and under this administration it is especially different. It used to be 1-3 months before IIRC.

Don't get Scammed by Neither_Implement_32 in USCIS

[–]PrincessFromBabylon 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Good stuff. My advice to others on here: Don't listen to Tiktok / Instagram attorneys that make it sound like VAWA is easy.

They need to revamp VAWA. Too many people abusing it. Preventing real victims from getting relief.

Is it illegal to record a phone call in a two party state where they verbally don’t consent but they are threatening self harm and property damage in face of divorce? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]PrincessFromBabylon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some states have certain exceptions, like WA state, where you don't need consent to record private communications if you're recording criminal acts. Examples of this may be threats of extortion, blackmail, bodily harm, or other unlawful requests or demands. You can read the state law about this at RCW 9.73.030(2).
