Filipina threw out by husban

[Cathi 5,740]

Exactly.

once again the OP never said there was any abuse or threats, and this is a second hand story. Use common sense before jumping to conclusions. You don't want the OP's friend to file a false VAWA based on your trying to read between the lines. Just because her husband told her to move out does NOT mean there was abuse. The OP hasn't been back to give us more detail

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Just because her husband told her to move out does NOT mean there was abuse.

What would you call it? "Gee, I am sorry, things are not working out, so get out of my house."

Even if she wasn't an immigrant, that would be abusive behavior, doubly more so to put someone out on the streets unfamiliar with her surroundings and with limited means to support herself.

[verysadguy 170]

To prove mental abuse the alien must prove humiliation,control,degradation,isolation etc..the alien must have a psychological evaluation showing major depression or pos traumatic disorder, just saying "i will call Uscis to deport you" is not mental abuse, the threat of deportation must show a pattern of mental abuse. The ALIEN MUST PROVE mental abuse not only with her/his testimony but with a psychological evaluation stating the alien suffered extreme cruelty and due the abuse the alien cannot function properly right now,her mental state changed completely., without proving these things is a waste of time to file Vawa.

From Sandranj's post to God's justice I hope that is true. My wife claims emotional abuse after living in a lovely home all expenses paid. She was caught cheating. I'm not sure what this filipina actually did, but it sounds like the petitioner got sick of her for some reason.

You're serious Patriot? So the petitioners should keep worthless spouses around? Giving them more chances to cheat, steal, lie, call the police etc?

Toughen up!

It happens everyday around the world.

"I'm sorry things are just not working out, you have to move out" I bet it is said a million times a day around the planet. That is not abuse.

I gave my ex money, returned a diamond ring, and a free ticket home. She claims I put her on the street penniless and unable to speak the language. $100 thousand dollars later she is still in the USA living off the fat of the taxpayers. Please folks. Send the non-USC's home, it is cheaper and safer.

I have a friend she's been here Dec 2012, she's done biometrics for her green card. Her husband told her hes gonna call the immigration to send her back to the Philippines. Does her husband have the right to send her to the Philippines even she have the papers proving the they process her papers?

Sounds like a threat to me. There is no other reason why that would even be mentioned by the USC other than to intimidate the petitioner.

Doesn't seem like a threat tome. He is just informing her of what he will do. He is financially responsible for her, but if she did not have her green card and was still adjusting status, then he could revoke her support affidavit. If she was fighting going back home, which she should since she is not a legal permanent resident with a green card, then he has the right to inform her of his intentions to contact immigrations to have her deported. Once he revokes his support affidavit, then the AOS petition is dead in the water unless he fails to do it and they decide she doesn't need an interview and they produce the card which seems as what they have already done. She won't need a VAWA waiver once she has her green card in hand, she simply needs to get a divorce and file for removal of conditions. She will then have to appear at USCIS for an interview as it takes her and her petitioner to remove conditions. Once she is divorced she will have to file a waiver for the removal and appear at USCIS when they schedule her for an interview. Stop trying to pin anything on the husband without knowing all of the facts. The OP could have posted what she wanted to make the husband look bad. No one knows the complete story or the truth.

Patriot, I didn't know you were a Psychologist. I would call it the same in any relationship if the other person was living in my house. I would tell them it is not working and they need to leave. That way there is no problems that can occur between people that are no longer in a good relationship. The OP never came back to reply to any of the other postings. I am pretty sure this Filipina has friends that she can stay with. As far as out on the streets with unfamiliar surroundings, she can simply go home and the husband should make arrangements for her to return home with a plane ticket. Doesn't really matter now does it? Her card is in production and a VAWA waiver isn't applicable anymore as she will now be a legal permanent resident with rights to stay unless they deny her removal of conditions which she will have to file a waiver for and appear before USCIS for an interview. Hope she has enough evidence to provide them.

Last time I checked I am still a man and a husband. Coming from a man and husband's point of view, there was no other reason for the man to say something like that to the woman, other than the purpose of intimidation. Any op can post anything they want, truthful or not, and people reply to it, that's how this whole discussion board thingy works, we reply to what's been posted. You formed your opinion based on what's been posted, didn't you? Geez!

[doug/sherry 26]

VAWA only listens to one side of the story and they make their conclusions. Trust me I know! So,

she can say anything she wants whether its true or not. Because, they only have one side of

the story and will not pursue the other side.....nature of the act..

[Umka36 781]

We check her status today and says that they will mail her green card and approved since yesterday. Do you think her husband can still deport her?

The GC has is bieng issued to her, so there is nothing the husband can do now. Be sure she keeps evidence of a bonifide relationship when it comes around to ROC (I am assuming the marriage is less than 2 years, right?). She will need this evidence to get her permanent GC (she is getting a divorce right?). The VAWA is moot at this point. Good luck.

Yes. Last time I looked I am a man, husband married to a Filipina and now also a father of a beautiful baby girl. Enough said on this post now.

Exactly.

Going back to the original situation, obviously VAWA is highly abused, having seen so may cases on here I would not put it past anyone.

Ditto U Visa's.

One would hope Immigration Reform would deal with this, unlkikely me thinks.

A sad statement to how poorly written VAWA is an unfair to USC's.

I've said many times the truly abused need protection, but VAWA is a loophole for liars and cheats IMO.

In this case the OP didn't give much info and hasn't come back. The rest is just a round robin of theories and opinions from VJ posters.

YOOOOOOOOOOO !!

[David & Diana R 1,005]

How is she here? Tourist visa? K-1?

If they are adjusting status, and the husband doesn't want to be with her any longer, she needs to file under VAWA on her own. Be a friend and give her sanctuary away from her abusive husband.

Wow, VAWA already? Are you assuming that she is being abused because I see no mention of that. VAWA is for abused spouses. I will pray for the benificiary and hope she gets the needed help.
