Divorce and move on.

There is literally nothing you can do to stop him from filing VAWA, from leaving the country, or whatever.

As others have stated, divorce (if possible) and move on.

Even if he has all the evidence of abuse in the world (and it very much sounds as if that is not the case), it doesn't sound as if he has evidence of a good-faith marriage, which is a requirement for a successful VAWA filing. He sounds the type of person that will stop at nothing to try and remain in the US, so it wouldn't surprise me if a VAWA filing happens. You won't be notified in any way if it does happen,and USCIS by law will not be able to give you any information about it, or even confirm it's occurred.

Not sure where you heard that VAWA has a low evidence requirement, as the reverse is actually the case.

I literally CANNOT divorce. My state does not recognize same sex marriage and I cannot file in his state. Most states will marry people but you cannot get a divorce unless you live there. So moving on now is possible mentally but I can't divorce right now. When I can, I intend to try for an annulment based on fraud.

Forgot to switch your logins, this one you used in your other thread about F-1 reinstatement, although it was pretty easy to figure out it was the same person posting.

I thought I was quick picking these up but missed this one.

So fifthnormal is the one trying to get the police to file false domestic abuse charge against the US spouse so that he can file for VAWA?

Done with K1, AOS and ROC

Possibly....

Never going to know who is who or if it is real
