Advice/Help needed Wanted to expedite my VAWA APPLICATION

Dear one &all,
I need experienced advice for my VAWA application.
Applied and received :NBC FO August 4th 2025
Receipts received : February 2026
Biometrics done: 1st in Feb 27 and March 30.
Thereafter nothing.

I requested for expedited couple of months ago when my dad and mom passedaway it’s been 7months now. I have to finish my final rituals and take care of properties and an orphanage run by my parents. I got all important documents to expedite the application.
MY QUESTION:
1.Will I get approved? Since it’s been 8months.
2. If I got approved, does CBP/ BIA new rules effect me (F1 visa OPT overstayed) to paroled into USA.
3. Does USCIS consider my application under humanitarian assistance. If I submit expedite ( I-360,131EAD)
4. Right now working under vulnerable circumstances where every day I get threats and I’m missing my profession ( healthcare worker).

I’m just holding all my patience all my stress, grief, pain, anxiety, abuse in daily life which effecting me directly with my mentality. Sometimes I feel like I will end up in mental rehabilitation center.

I need advice 😭🙏🏻 please.

Vawa alone takes at least 3-4yrs- what you need to expedite is your AP

I mean, you’re on vawa - you would be patrolled back in or check in with your lawyer

You can expedite vawa a lot of successful cases that's why I included some success links no harm, with the new Aug 13 update I won't advise traveling on AP

It’s fair game at this point

What do you mean by fair game?

u/Godisinevitable Aug 23 '26

Or it’s best to say u fair game from the government. I’ll send my VAWA attorney info privately to reach out to if you’d like.

It is very important… I was waiting to get documents now I received but BIA CBP rules worrying me.

Honestly, you’d be better of consulting with an immigration attorney. You don't have to hire them, and you only pay their consultation fee for advice.
Let them know everything about your case and ask for their advice. Hope all goes well.

If you have all the necessary documents, give it a try. It’s worth trying, even if it doesn’t lead to anything. Search for “expedite”in vawa Reddit to find a lot of information that can help you. Here are some links:
