QUESTION
What can I do if I feel that I my VAWA was denied because of discrimination?
Asked on Aug 19th, 2013 on Immigration - New York
More details to this question:
I’m a 37 year old male from North Africa. I filed I360 VAWA. First they granted me prima facie, then it took 1 year and a half to answer me. They are asking me for more evidence. I provided them with all the concrete evidence they need then astonishingly they denied my case. Asking for an appeal, my lawyer noticed that the officer who was dealing with my case kept ignoring facts and evidence so obvious and very credible such as people, affidavits, doctor’s reports and pictures in order to deny me. I feel really discriminated upon. My case was seen by a 3 very experienced lawyers and none of them thought that I would be denied. I really don't know what to do. Any advice? I am thinking to complain to higher authorities. If you find it a good idea which one do I need to complain?

You can ask any one of the 3 lawyers who believe you have a good case file the appeal on your behalf.

You can appeal a denial or do a motion to reopen/reconsider. You can also re-file.

Another alternative may be to re-apply with a stronger case including the evidence requested in the Request for Evidence.
