Hi there, I'm not sure from where you are...but reading your story makes me feel sad....anyhow, it's good to hear that you are now doing well and feeling better....I'm glad that you tried to stand firm and know your rights. I see that you have God in your heart, and that you keep trusting in Him in all your needs --- I know how so difficult it is for you especially you are away from your family, but you are very right ---with God you will never be alone. Yeah, please keep your faith higher than ever -- God can move things quickly -- in God's mysterious ways, no doubt -- our God is bigger than any problems we have. There are things in life that only God knows best for us. His ways are higher than our ways. Important is you are honest, sincere, and truthful in your intentions. God will never fail you. God will use good servants / people to help you out in your situation --- and things will be better. Just continue to pray and trust on His will. And may you harvest the good outcomes later --- don't forget to be humble always and help your family back home, be good, learn your lessons, and take care of yourself always. God bless you.

yes me too i never did stop believing what GOD's can do i always believe that there is answers in every words you shared to GOD when he will hear you calling his name. yes i heard lots of people telling me that there is no hope and everything like it is impossible to be solve so i been feeling depress and feel so down but i wasnt tired to ask GOD's help even i almost lost hope and i tell him that too but one day there is one person who encourage me and even give me the address and number to the people who could help me in my area i was surprise at first i dont want to believe it but then he always saying dont be scared cause i know u are scared but dont worry everything will be ok . so i did tried to contact to the address and tell everything i was so happy when they say we are willing to help you and we will provide everything you need as we could because you are not alone. that is making my heart jump of happiness i just ask them a help for one week now but almost all of my paper works need that i been having trouble with are solve:) now i am happy to say everything will be just fine. because when i say GOD send me someone from your power because i am almost losing my hopes so please clear my mind and believe that with GOD all things are possible... now i am so happy because he give what i been prayed. he knows its not only for myself because since i was little i may not growing up with my families with me but i did everything to give them help and support from the blessings i got.

i know you all wondering how did i got my papers seems doing well now and got 2 year protection me too i was so surprise that it happen so easy when i just started to file it in one week for all papers that i need. it was easy when the truth comes up. i didnt make a story about my family and everything but my husband is my first boyfriend i ever had and got married to him because all i know that i was inlove by his showing love and care to me back when i was not in us. i am not asking him anything to give somethin for my family nothin i am not thinking about it either i live with him because i love him and i do trust him at the time that he was so nice to me. it is so hard for me to experience such and abusive husband because i only believe on him but then i get tired for giving him so many chances so when i feel like im dying on him i chose to leave and dont want to bother him or anything. but he wants me to suffer so much and feel fear and so scared he did everything so even though i got away he still make a way and say to me beg to me and kneel down on my knees because i dont want someone else to have you but me. i cant do that to my husband i do love him but his to much. and i have enough. no one of my friends saying its just a story do you know why because they heard and saw it and tried to scared them to so that they would get away from me. now the truth was came up and the judge sign my paper that i will have protection for 2 years and for filing green card i had lots of profs i got with the help of people who was helping me. medical when i was check up for being like skeleton and have picture it too also friends who knows my marriage as well. thats why i got protection so easy when i pass it when they read all the information and stuff they sign it right away and that makes me happy so i dont need to think that my husband would stalker to me again

Because of the nature of OP's you can always get one, at least in the beginning. Just because you've been approved for this one doesn't mean it's all over. He is able to challenge the OP to defend himself against the claims that you've made, so once he has been served with the paperwork he can take you back to court in an attempt to show that it's bull. If he doesn't choose to fight it then it stands. At least that's how it is in Illinois.

So while it's great for now, it might not be all over just yet.

On the immigration front: you lied to immigration which basically shows them that you were in the relationship for immigration benefits. Had you admitted in the interview what had been happening (abuse etc) it would have been different. Claiming this AFTER denial for lying looks like you've been studying up on what to say. You also admit you have little to no proof of relationship. I don't believe you will have your VAWA approved. You are entitled to try but I would start saving once you're legally able to work (if ever), or have family/friends start saving for your flights to leave the US.

Wow.... What a story, sounds fishy that is all I will say, even though USCIS will not admit it, it is estimated 80%of VAWA claims are false, I wishhthe system would change so the government would protect it's own citizens. If this is true things will work out, USCIS is not as dumb as people think.

well here is the thing...OP is either looking for assistance here, or she may assist other girls with her example. Either way, it's important to only stick to facts. She just said above:

"... they sign it approve. that i will have 2 years protection. and for my green card filing for a self petition since my first green card filing is not close even though i am denial and had notice i did reply to them before the end of the day they were given to me and the lied about when i was interview by immigration it wasnt difficult because i have prof that my marriage is not a fraud. my husband only saying it was a fraud because he thought that i dont have any paper work or to prove my marriage to him but i got lots of paper work that a copy from lawyer that has my original documents to come here in us for marriage i got some paper work too from my family that i have left some there so they send it to me..."

So if OP can itemize her proofs of bona-fide marriage, her case all of a sudden jumps above the barrier - here and out there, in real life

Well... I will get nasty email on this one from a moderator of the site on this one...who care what the stats are? even one false claim getting through is to many, I read it on a web site, I grow tired of people that SAY "I was abused" under the "VAWA" system and file a false claims. LET ME MAKE ONE THING CLEAR NOT EVERY CLAIM IS FALSE, there are REAL victims of abuse on this site, and they need and deserve protection there is no doubt about that, but what is the flip side, both male and female USC are abused and taken to the cleaners in divorce court by their immigrant spouses, I got an email from a guy who lost $40,000 his entire 401K savings and he was married the same amount of time I was (1 year, she had green card 6 months) see USCIS has bypassed the Constitution by making VAWA an admin deal instead of a criminal one (under the 14th amendment we have equal protection under the law and the right to face your accuser in court) by not making it criminal, the USC is left powerless to stop an assault on his her her reputation and lives are ruined in the process, is it okay to attack someone press false charges on a person and you know what the reward is...that's right folks a ten year green card...awesome, not only after commiting perjury and consperisy to commit a crime(you mean some immigrant spouse might plan to marry a USC just for a green card...shocking!!!!!!!!!!! say it is not so:) ) There are honest people in this world and there are bad people in this world, instead why not get both the parties stories and come up with a game plan, bonafide marriage what a laugh, USCIS in my hometown is joke, most interviews are 10 min or less in my first interview, it took 10 min that was it, I was not even asked a question nor was my "wonderful ex" who used me and abused myself and family members, and that's right two counts of perjury, and child abuse and what will she get, a green card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA I want more of this type of person in my country, the whole system is BROKE from the top down, and will be impossible to fix. I grow tired of this, "let it go" I want to let it go, was anyone here facing jail time? or better yet what if your immiragnt spouse went to your work and their USC spouse had not abused them, and now your work is calling you asking you if you beat your spouse (that is right my company can fire me for making a bad moral decision). This whole situation with the OP and others that just seem "fishy" to me, I will not call them Liars nor will say they are guilty, but let us face it people the world is loaded with people that do bad things, so answer me this "international man of mystery" Why am I not allowed to defend myself, tell me? there is no answer because if I give any paperwork to USCIS facts or whatever I am just viewed as some bitter ex with a ax to grind. it is &^%#$ the whole system makes me sick:( there that is my rant find a solution to this stuff, why should a USC want a ex spouse in this country that behave the way some do? I mean I should be allowed to speak, and I am not, it is #######. I am just like Vanessa & Tony, Capri, SandraJ, and Gowon and other that offer sound advice, but why let go? My reputatiuon was damaged my promotion was put on hold costing me $10,000 a year raise and she is telling people that it is so funny and that who cares if I almost put his kid on the street "(*&^ (*& " Really let go of that. By the way all of you guys on this site are great, wise and I cannot begin to tell people on this site thanks for the help you have no idea some people on this site saved my life (there was a time I would come back to my home that I bought before I got married and just think about hanging myself)I mean I really loved my spouse more than my own life, there was one time my spouse was trying to blackmail me using the I864 to give her money, I was destroyed on the inside that someone I had loved was going out of her way to destroy me she was at the District attorney office texting me asking me to put money on her account (which I did), and at the same time trying to get domestic violence charges pressed on me at the same time if it was not for this site my son would not have had a father anymore. It is the first time in my life I had really trusted someone and let my guard down completely, and this person wanted to have me put in prison by commiting perjury not once but twice she mentally abused my son and he tried telling me but my wife denied it and I believed my wife over my son, I was played for a fool. these are lessons I will never forget, how do people do this to other people and think it is okay : Someone clue me in? And now to think this person will be allowed to stay in this country and then sue me on a I864 is just insane. Where is my and my son's protection's? I did not see red flags for fraud, just someone that I loved. I am sorry for this forgive me, but it is just heartbreaking what happens to USC when these kinds of things are done and there is no punishment or saction to the immigrant, just oh, he yelled at you...approved.....oh wait he sent you a mean text message ..... approved.....he called you a name...approved. Some one in the government will owe me a explination if this goes through, how do we let non citizens with bad intensions do this to other people? What is our government doing, my marriage was never real the person I fell in love with was never real but a façade, I ask myself at 46 how did I fall in love with fake? Brian

I want to say to Sandra J, Vanessa & Tony, Gary and Alla, Gowon, Capri and serval others thank you for helping save my life and my son still has his father:) I have never said anything like that in a public forum I am to embarrassed that at 46 I was really played, and in the end the damage done by my immigrant spouse will ever be fixed. I hope so, there are many people from Ukraine on this site and In Ukraine why did I find one that wanted to be so "clever" as they say there.

well Brian, let's try a win-win here. Sorry for your marital trouble, and you're a hero for staying strong. If you need any more help, anytime, good people will be here for you. Just open a new topic, and present your situation in detail. Let OP present her facts here - and if she fails to support her claim of bona-fide marriage, then her topic will die organically
