Domestic Violence (VAWA)

The Law Protects You. You Can Apply for Residency Without Your Abuser Knowing

If you have suffered physical, verbal, or emotional abuse by a U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse or family member, the VAWA law allows you to start your own immigration process in a completely confidential manner, without needing your abuser’s consent or participation.

Applies Even If You Entered Without Documentation

One of the most important benefits of VAWA is that the abuse automatically forgives the irregular entry into the country. It doesn’t matter how you arrived: if you suffered abuse, you may qualify and move toward legal residency.

Physical, Verbal, or Emotional Abuse Counts

It is not necessary to have suffered physical violence to qualify. Emotional or verbal abuse is also valid and can be documented with sworn statements, psychological evaluations, and testimonies from people close to you.
