VAWA

[vjhelp 0]

How easy is VAWA? I'm reading online that even canceling I864 can be considered abuse because you are manipilating the beneficiary? The spouse could file vawa based on withdrawn I864?

Also reading that the spouse can just walk up to a shelter, register, and request them to help in VAWA process becuase they listen. Can anyone be upset with their husband and just walk into a shelter?

Can just spousal argument (no touching or hitting or abuse) and the spouse calling police to manipulate the petioner also can be made to appear as abuse by the beneficiary?

IT sounds like the beneficiary can blackmail a USC to be submisive or else she will call police be enough for the spouse to qualify for VAWA.

I'm in trouble living in a relationship where I am being manipulated to be submissive and let them get green card. All I'm doing is just being calm and listening to spouse blackmail that she will get me in trouble. I have send my request to withdraw I864 since AOS is pending and have been patiently waiting each day for my fate.

What is best recourse? I have made an appointment with a divorce attorney for advice?

Thanks for all advice because I want to be fair even relationships dind't work

VAWA success very much depends on the individual case. I have seen several denied, but also many approved, especially where there are police reports and/ or doctors reports of injury or emotional abuse. Whether a "couple's argument" without touching can be used depends on what is said- for example if one of the couple said "I will kill you!", then that is a terroristic threat and could be used (as well as land the person in jail). It depends on what is written in the police report when they are called.

Yes, shelters help with VAWA petitions (as do some Rape Crisis Centers and Catholic Charities)- that is what woman's shelters are there for, to help abused women. That doesn't mean getting a shelter's help means automatic success.

Getting a divorce asap is definitely best. You mention still living with the beneficiary- if you think they will file VAWA, get out. It is too easy for them to hurt themselves and claim you did it when you have a lot of time alone with them.

80% of Vawa cases were approved in 2011. To have the Vawa approved the person needs to show a bonafide marriage,plus the violence suffered. Usually they ask the police report and restraining order as well,it helps if the person is seeing a psychologist and living in a shelter.Be careful with her because she can call the cops with false accusations against you.

Document what is going on and consult a qualified attorney. Two separate areas here: immigration and family law.
