Do you have photo documentary evidence or medical reports of your injuries ? The proof bar is higher for men

Agree with above. Do you have photos? Doctors reports? Unfortunately Affidavits from friends could be seen as lying, especially depending on your relationship timeline. It's been 3 years since you first filed so is there a removal order in place?

It's not going to be easy - I suggest you engage a lawyer.

I dont mean to scare you ,Its will be a tough process,more especially that you are in removal proceeding,have you appeared before a judge ? If not yet you better file your VAWA as soon as possible so that when you appear before him you can make mention of it being in the process ,do you know how long these proceeding started ? like NigeriaorBust has said its a little bit tough for men ,you need a lawyer if you can afford one to help you .All the best .

You mentioned you saw your deportation papers that your wife was hiding , are you still living with her ? Most abused individuals have needed to leave the house to be safe from their abusers.

I'm not an advocate of divorce thus I'll encourage you to consider working it out, going to counseling, etc

If the violence happened more than two years ago you can't file the I-360.Never ever excuse violence and abusers.Each nine seconds someone is victim of violence domestic in the Usa. EVERY DAY two to three people are murdered by their spouses in the Usa, please stay safe and remain away from her.

Just a quick word I was married in 2005 and went through a year of abuse separated in 2006 and filed VAWA in 2010 and was approved yes you heard me approve I didn't know about VAWA in 2006 but I had a lot of evidence to back up my case. It was very hard living through that whole ordeal again but thank God I came out as the winner.
