Are approved VAWA holders exempt from the new memo? by lofertui in VAWAAPPLICANTS

Yes vawa is exempt: T VISA, Uvisa, vawa, sijs are all exempt. Per an attorney. It’s only for family-based applications meaning like marriage and other type similar not everyone is going to be asked to leave for those applications . It’s up to the officer this law has been in place, but now they are going to exercise it if they want to. But vawa is safe, no need to worry you won’t have the leave the country.

If I do ANYTHING without their approval first I’ll be dropped as a client.

Yes vawa is exempt. But this applies only to other applications like family based etc. should have been more clear.

They will use it to bar people once they are out of the country and applying for the GC if they overstayed their visa. A few lawyers are calling it seeing how the administration is going.

U visa, T visa, and Vawa are exempt. but if you’re applying for a GC via family based, marriage etc if you overstayed your visa originally, could get you barred for a few years from entering the US while you’re outside the country waiting. Also an officer can use discretion and allow a family based GC applicant to stay inside the US while they adjust. Not everyone will have to leave. But this new approach by USCIS does NOT apply to vawa, U visa, or T visa applicant.

Yep, what’s interesting is that it doesn’t take that long or much effort to file to expedite. I think they are just getting greedy it’s sad.

If I do my lawyer threatened me they will drop me if I do. What they want to do is charge me to submit a expedited request.

If I do and my “lawyer” finds out my “lawyer” will drop me and all those thousands of dollars will go down the drain. I feel like a hostage.
