My VAWA was approved.

2 years, 2 months, 20 days, and an RFE later, I did it. Now I just need to terminate my removal proceedings (currently admin closed) and file for AOS.

Congratulations!

Yay!!

Turn up. We’re happy for you

Isn't Wawa like a bus or something lmfao....jk..there she is from downtown! Congrats. Does this mean you got a GC?

Not yet, but I am close right now. Just need a motion to terminate and once that's approved just file for AOS.

I did the hardest part in the entire process, everything from hereon out will be a cakewalk by comparison.

congrats, what evidence did you present if you don't mind

Congrats! You deserve it.

• Initial application:
• I-360
• Self-affidavit / cover letter
• Copy of ex's US passport
• Copy of I-130 approval notice
• Affidavits from friends and family including ex's father (originally written for the I-130)
• Marriage certificate
• Copy of photographs
• Copies of our driver licenses
• Copy of joint tax return (unsigned, got it from turbotax)
• A few months of joint bank statements showing that I was the only one working and that my ex stole money from me

• RFE:
• Another cover letter
• Complete bank statements covering the period we lived together with the following items distinguished:
• -Rent payments
• -Bill payments
• -My wages
• -Transfers to or from my ex
• -Transfers from ex's father
• -Payments for ex's student loans
• -Tax return payments
• Cover page from NYS tax return check
• Receipts for wedding and engagement rings
• Receipts for various gifts
• Prior I-130 RFE (similarly they questioned the bona fides of the marriage)
• Request for a bona fide marriage exemption
• Copy of receipt notice for a FOIA I filed for my I-130, which was unlikely to be processed by the time the RFE is due
• College transcripts showing classes we had together
• Print out from Turbotax showing that the taxes were filed, processed, and issued, matching the amounts on the previously submitted tax returns

Just note that I was previously in removal proceedings so my threshold of evidence went up from "Preponderance of evidence" (more likely than not, 51+%) to "Clear and convincing evidence" (75+%). I saw VAWAs get approved with less than my initial submission.

that's a lot of evidence, its nice though. but what did you submit to prove violence itself ?
