In this Spanish‑language short, attorney Lorena Rivas explains why VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) applicants often endure long waits for their FBI fingerprint (biometric) appointments and outlines the typical processing timeline. She notes that after submitting the FBI fingerprint, criminal record, and other required documents, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence (RFE). Even after the RFE is satisfied, applicants usually wait several months for a biometric appointment, and the overall VAWA petition can take about three years to adjudicate, followed by an additional year to receive the VAWA‑based green card, totaling roughly four years. The speaker shares a personal example of waiting five months for a fingerprint appointment despite having completed fingerprints in 2016, illustrating the systemic delays.
