Hi,

Can anyone there provide me with some link to this new VAWA Act. Or suggest me where I can get some more information in this respect. (I have seen the links in the above thread).

Thanks.

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, and I have a friend that had 2 petitions that were approved but the women were not being 100% honest, so they didn't get hitched and the went back home. The women were more interested in the little green card then actually establishing and honest family.

That being said, I see wehre if he files another peition, he will go into the multiple filing data base (which I'm assuming is to keep track of potential traffickers or abusers of the system), but if he files another petition and states he didn't go thru w/ the marraiges because of their lack of honesty and they went back, does he have to wait 2 years to file the petition from the approval date of the last one as well?

Glad I don't have to worry about this problem!!

From what I have read of it....one can apply for a waiver of the wait time.

I have read this and i am still confused. Will the person have to wait 2 years from the date of the previous petition filed? Or can he file a waiver for some reason? And if he can file the waiver, what ARE the reasons he can use? All of this IMBRA stuff is confusing to me.

One can file a waiver.

From the I-129F instructions....

B. If you are seeking a waiver of the filing limitations imposed by IMBRA, you must attach a signed and dated request for the waiver, explaining why a waiver would be appropriate in you case, together with any evidence in support of your request. Examples of such evidence include, but are not limited to: a death certificate, police reports, news articles, or medical reports from a licensed medical professional, regarding the death of an alien approved for a prior K visa.

Documentation is going to vary depending on the individual circumstances. Basically what someone is going to need is anything that is going to support the written request for a waiver.
