I came here on F1 visa in 2008 and it got expired. I got married this year in June and everything was going good, it was a love marriage but all of sudden my wife patched up with her ex boyfriend and start giving me trouble and now she is got pregnant by her ex two months ago and she's going to keep his baby. She left me and now staying with her ex. My life is really messed up right now and I don't know what to do. They are threatening me like they are going to call police on me if I do something and they will deport me back to my country and much more. I'm going through a lot right now. I feel like I'm done with my life.

You have the obvious option of going home.

Unfortunately nothing can be done as your path to residency lies with your wife. If she refuses to attend your marriage interview or abandons the process it's all over and you'll be eventually denied and asked to leave the U.S. as you have no legal status at the moment to keep you in. Would've been a total different story had you been on valid F1 status.

When I said they started giving me a trouble, I meant that my wife have abused me, slapped me and his boyfriend punched me on my face and I have the police report on that. Since my wife knows that I have no legal status, she have threaten me that she will get me deported. She has also said that if I take any legal action on her abuse and stole my money, she would send her boyfriend to F**meUP. I have got restraining order against her. Her boyfriend has been calling me and telling me that I have to leave this state or country otherwise he would kill me. My life has been so misreable, and dont know what to do now. I am so depressed.

Yes, I am still married.

With a non-VAWA family-based petition, a U.S. citizen or permanent resident prepares a petition on behalf of the immigrant beneficiary, on Form I-130 (issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services or USCIS).

Similarly, a self-petitioner under VAWA prepares a petition on his or her own behalf, but using USCIS Form I-360. In both cases, the person preparing the form must also include supporting evidence, such as a marriage or birth certificate and proof of the U.S. citizen or LPR's status. However, because the self-petitioner has to prove the abuse as well as the legitimacy of the marriage, gathering all the required evidence might take longer.

So yes, it's possible to file for an AoS under VAWA, but proving your case is another story.

You've been married barely 6 months and you already had a sticky situation before the marriage. I wonder how VAWA would work for you.

You will have a huge hurdle to cross.

Why did it take you this long to fix your immigration issues?

You need to be able to prove a bona fide marriage to be able to file under VAWA.
