USCIS I-360
Delaware Special Immigrant Preparation
Most Form I-360 returns from USCIS are not about the merits of the case — they are about formatting, signatures, missing pages, and outdated editions. We treat each Delaware packet like an audit — assuming USCIS will look closely at every page — because that is the safer way to file. Years of immigration services in Central Ohio have taught us which supporting documents USCIS officers reach for first.

Form I-360 for Delaware Residents
Delaware residents preparing I-360 may have case-specific eligibility, deadline, confidentiality, or evidence requirements. Our Columbus office can help organize form information, records, translations, and USCIS notices. We do not provide legal advice, and cases involving asylum eligibility, VAWA, removal history, missed deadlines, or other complex legal questions should be reviewed by a licensed immigration attorney.
Our office serves Delaware applicants throughout Delaware County, including families connected to Delaware City Schools and workers around OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital. Clients often come to us after receiving a USCIS notice, preparing for a family petition, renewing documents for work, or trying to understand which records must be translated before submission.
Our Delaware clients commonly include families served by Delaware City Schools and workers and patients tied to OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital.
Delaware · Central Ohio
Why this Form I-360 page is written for Delaware
Delaware sits in Central Ohio, agricultural roots with a growing share of residents commuting into the Columbus metro for healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing jobs. Delaware County, where Delaware is located, is a large Ohio city with full county clerk services, vital records access, and a passport acceptance facility nearby.
Central Ohio families typically come to us with a mix of family-petition, green-card, work-permit, and naturalization filings — sometimes for multiple family members at once. Our Delaware County clients receive a complete packet review: every signature checked, every translation certified, every supporting document indexed before the envelope is sealed.
communities where new arrivals often join families already established in central Ohio for the lower cost of living — and Delaware, with a population near 41,302, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
rural and small-town drive routes feed into I-71 or U.S. 23 for the final approach to our Morse Rd office. From Delaware (ZIP 43015), the trip is roughly 22 miles each way.
The 22-mile drive from Delaware (~32 min) is short enough for a midweek appointment but far enough that we always plan to finish core packet work in one sitting. We also serve clients across the rest of Central Ohio, where many of our Delaware clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VAWA self-petition and can I file without my abuser knowing?+
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) allows abused spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens or green card holders to file Form I-360 to self-petition for immigration relief — without their abuser's knowledge or involvement. USCIS handles these petitions with strict confidentiality. Asal Multi Services provides a safe, private environment to discuss and prepare your VAWA petition.
What evidence do I need to prove abuse for a VAWA I-360 petition?+
USCIS accepts many types of evidence of abuse including police reports, protective orders, medical records, photographs of injuries, emails or text messages showing threatening behavior, affidavits from witnesses, and your own personal statement. You do not need to have filed criminal charges — any credible evidence of battery or extreme cruelty is acceptable.
Is there a filing fee for Form I-360 VAWA cases?+
USCIS fees can change and may differ by online or paper filing, filing category, or fee-waiver eligibility. Check the current USCIS Form G-1055 and the official page for this form before submitting. Asal service fees are separate from government filing fees.
What happens after my I-360 VAWA petition is approved?+
After USCIS approves your I-360 VAWA petition, you may be eligible to file Form I-485 to adjust your status to lawful permanent resident (green card), apply for work authorization (I-765), and apply for a travel document (I-131). Asal Multi Services can walk you through the full path to permanent residence after your petition is approved.
