Helping VAWA Victims Obtain Legal Immigration Status 

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) offers protection to spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens; and spouses of children of lawful permanent residents who have experienced domestic abuse.  A VAWA applicant may apply for work authorization, a green card, and other public benefits. VAWA applicants may be eligible to receive deferred action while U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) makes a decision on the case. Deferred action is a discretionary benefit that authorizes individuals to remain in the United States for the duration of the deferred action period.   

If an individual qualifies to apply for VAWA immigration benefits, he or she may do so without the abusive relative’s involvement. Importantly, USCIS does not notify the abusive relative that the VAWA applicant is seeking immigration benefits.  

Requirements for VAWA Immigration Benefits 

In general, an applicant must show the existence of a qualifying relationship, evidence of having suffered battery or extreme cruelty, proof that they lived with the abusive relative, and evidence of good moral character. Additionally, an applicant who was married to his or her abuser must demonstrate that the applicant entered the marriage in good faith.   

If you or your family member have suffered domestic abuse from a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, contact our office to determine if you qualify for VAWA immigration benefits
