2012 re-authorization, Male VAWA, children VAWA

[SingleDad2usc 71]

No:

1. She can never go any LEGAL route to hurt me.

2. She knows enough to realize that could only speed up my legalization.

Consider that 90% of members here were of the opinion that I will end up moving to Canada, with or without children

She can report you to ICE and they, after researching and gathering information will begin removal-proceedings which is deportation.

kindly refer to OP: this is precise reason for the topic. If I didn't strive for education on VAWA, this topic wouldn't exist.

I must state my gratitude to all contributors: I'm learning much more than if I had an appointment for lawyer consultation. Money would be flying, and I might not have heard objective views

So you want educate yourself because:

1) You want to/going to represent yourself?

2) You want to know as much or more than your lawyer so you are represented well & get the best possible outcome?

How would reporting you to ICE help your VAWA?

he can't file for vawa until he determines her current status in the US for the past two years/if he is still married or divorced.

With a marriage certificate in a foreign language that happens to be torn into pieces.

Oh, and the asylum application that says his possibly ex/wife was not married at the time she applied, although she was married to him, and may still be.

he doesn't seem too concerned about either of these deciding factors. last he knows she was a PR in 2006-2007..

Nope.

for some reason he's only concerned about fitting into the requirements of a vawa case and not his eligibility to file a vawa case.

hmmmm...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I would remove "were" from that statement are replace it with "are".

Keep'em coming guys:

1. I have Order of Family Court 2005, stating we were married in 2000 in that foreign country.

2. No doubt she's at least LPR

3. out of 5 eligibilty factors listed by Sandra, I only have 1 to still work on: current order of protection

Can't believe some good folks are still humoring this guy .... Hello Moderator, time to shut this one down too!

[SingleDad2usc 71]

Sorry, we might have deviated from VAWA somewhere. I only want serious VAWA research here - so please no one undermine the topic.

I still heard little of VAWA hardship provisions and possible changes within 2012 VAWA

I told you to go for VAWA, but either way, somebody would find out your current status... which won't be good for you. I think only a very very very good lawyer can have a shot at helping you.

Last post for this topic on this or any other thread. I wish the kids the best and to a little extent their mother who during one of her mental lapses started a relationship with this so called VAWA victim.

can you prove that she is a LPR?

can you prove that you've been married to her the past two years?

[SingleDad2usc 71]

this is what I'm trying to understand: what stressing very very very good lawyer means. Does it mean that a pro-bono lawyer is not enough?

so far, it looks like ANY lawyer who can help me with current order of protection, would be good enough for VAWA filing(or their firm)

fair questions. How should I prove both?

You have a very extraordinary case and you need an extraordinary lawyer. A pro-bono one might work, might not, just make sure they're good. If they decide to go after you about your status, you'll need someone who can do more than just file VAWA.

[decocker 7,198]

as per sandranj:

Before you think to file Vawa you need to have two things in your hand

a)proof that your wife is an US Citizen or green card holder.If she changed her name or if you have no idea how to get proof that she is a green card holder or US Citizen then forget about your case! without this proof you CAN'T EVEN START YOUR CASE.

[SingleDad2usc 71]

I don't expect further aaydrian's contribution - but this is very important point for every VAWA petitioner:

VAWA purpose. I would love opinions on how VAWA PURPOSE may impact a case like this, or any case of MALE or CHILD victim
