I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving!!! Let's be thankful because you are SURVIVORS! Unfortunately many people died due the abused suffered. 3.200 women were killed by their spouses in 2010.Every 3 minutes in the US one person is assaulted or beaten by their partners.An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year.It's a time to be grateful for your health, your family, friends.Let's be thankful for all the blessings.

May God gives strength to each and every one of you to overcome the violence or mental abuse that you were exposed. May the Lord bless you and keep you always in his care.

Public benefit is anything the welfare office provide but with vawa it varies from state to state. I see that u got approved in 2010 when was your interveiw cause from wat am seeing it took 2 yrs from your approval to get green card not including time you waited for approval.

Just want to know your timeline

Good luck

Oh well.. actually i applied vawa from foreign country in 2010 which was approved in 2011 and applied IB1 visa on approved vawa; had visa interview and got immigrant visa with permanent residence status in 2012 and been few days since i am here. will be going to make social security in few days, so was wondering if I am eligible for benefits, If yes what are they?

zainab786 once you have the green card you should not use public benefits because it will work against you when you will file for citizenship. Until the individual receive the green card Vawa filers can use public benefits without any problem,but once you have the green card you should be able to provide for yourself without using government funds for that. The Uscis can consider you a public charge and may not allow you to reenter in the USA when you are returning from a trip abroad or denying your Citizenship.In case of emergency after receiving the green card I do not recommend that you get any benefits more than six months at all. The State or Government might grant you benefits, but despite that you will have a big problem in the future. If you have children your children can use food stamps and medicaid without problem BUT NOT CASH ASSISTANCE, and YOU should not apply for any public benefits after receiving the green card or you will face serious consequences regarding your citizenship or reentering in the Usa after a trip abroad as i said before.
