As a battered spouse, child, or parent of a U.S. citizen, you may self-petition for an immigrant visa petition under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended by the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), without the abuser’s knowledge. If you have an approved petition, you may be eligible to file for a Green Card.
Who is eligible?
Eligibility requirements for a spouse:
Qualifying spousal relationship:
You are married to a U.S. citizen abuser; or
Your marriage to the abuser was terminated by death or a divorce within the 2 years prior to filing; or
Your spouse lost or renounced citizenship status within the 2 years prior to filing due to an incident of domestic violence, or
You believed that you were legally married to your abusive U.S. citizen spouse but the marriage was not legitimate solely because of the bigamy of your abusive spouse.
You or your child have suffered battery/extreme cruelty by your U.S. citizen spouse:
You have been abused by your U.S. citizen, or
Your child has been subjected to battery or extreme cruelty by your U.S. citizen spouse.
You entered into the marriage in good faith, not solely for immigration benefits;
You have resided with your spouse; and
You are a person of good moral character.

My friend is from Nigeria. She came to the U.S. then paid an American citizen thousands to marry her so she could get a green card. I knew her 2 years before I found out she was legally married. They have NEVER lived even one day under the same roof. The first interview failed. They filed again and when he found out he could be in trouble for this sham he will no longer help her. So she filed a false claim of abuse with vawa. I sat as she lied telling how he came home angry and mean, etc. The man does not live with her. She has falsely accused him and I had to tell her I can't help you with this lie. If you are abused it's a good process but so many like my friend are abusing this process. The man has done nothing to her as he lives somewhere else. Sad.
Hello Cindy, yes is very sad.
I married a US citizen. We have three children together and I love him so much but every time when we get into an argument, he would say that he would ship me back. He doesn’t like me to talk to anyone, he puts me to work all the time and I work so hard that my hand are very muscular because I do mans work. He doesn’t like me to work or go visit friends or do anything. My life with him is getting more dangerous. He even threatens my family here in the country. He talks very loud and shout at me and the kids. I am so afraid say anything to him because then he have reasons to get more mad and make my life more miserable. I NEED HELP WITH MY KIDS. Thanks Lincy

Hi Jacob. I have already received a work permit, but I don't have a green card yet. My interview is scheduled for the next month. If I file the i360, does my work permit lose its validity? Do you think I'm going to have enough time to file it? Does my interview is going to be rescheduled if I do it? How much does it cost? Thank you!
God bless you sir!🤩
Hi. My ex-husband cancelled my application for adjustment of status after he filed for divorce. I was emotionally abused and am currently seeing a counsellor because I became suicidal due to the abuse. Can I still file under VAWA despite the case cancellation?
yes absolutely. You have 2 years to do this after divorce or case revocation. Call me 619 819 92 04 to discuss this or email jacob@h1b.biz

Hello..I just want to ask if by the time of filing the I-751 the divorce is not yet filed, we are just separated. will that affect the process of the removal of the condition to my green card? This is filed base on abuse. I hope you reply. I first followed you on tiktok by the way. Thank you.
How are where to live after you finally got your green card or something like that? No English, no education, no house, no money, no work, nobody will hire such person to good pay job! Where to go after sheltor to become a homeless? What is your advise? Do you see american born homeless people sleeping on streets? They all have US citizenship and how they ended up on the street?????
It’s a bigger issue homelessness in the US. But in this video I address options for abused immigrants

Hi sir...I am going to marry USA citizen he stays in Ohio so how will get the green card and how many years would it take to apply for green card after the marriage
Tanu if you are applying from abroad it will take about a year or so. If you are able to enter the US legally and later adjust your status, that process will be less long.
Tanu Debi that’s the key thing , legally enter. Congratulations on both and good luck to both of you.
