Does this case qualify for VAWA?

 I thought mental stress is considered to be an abuse as well. 

All break-ups cause some mental stress.

No.

I don't think it can work through VAWA, but i hardly suggest her to talk to a lawyer specialized in Migration and specifically in VAWA cases, They will have the final opinion. They are the only one that can help her with this,

The only abuse here is the abuse of VAWA. Just because a guy had a change of heart and went back to his ex doesn't mean you can claim abuse. Is your TPS about to expire?

This is what I found on internet :

 

Eligibility Requirements for VAWA Self-petitioners:

• The intending self-petitioner must prove that s/he is a spouse, child (unmarried and under age 21)/parent of an abused child (unmarried and under age 21), or parent who was physically battered and/or subjected to “extreme cruelty” by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent or adult child.  Such abuse may include evidence of:
  • physical abuse, violent acts or threats of violence, sexual abuse or exploitation, verbal abuse and degradation, emotional abuse, isolation, intimidation, economic abuse, coercion or threats to take away children or have one deported

I don't see how it leads to abusing VAWA.

However they don't list "sour grapes".  Good luck!

You (or rather your friend) are grasping now.

 

You really think a guy breaking up with a girl because his ex is in the picture is grounds for violence against women?

 

If you don't want to see it as VAWA abuse then at least see it as a frivolous VAWA claim.

[Sandra G. 5,049]

A broken heart is not a ground for VAWA. 

[Eric-Pris 1,606]

Not VAWA, just a desperate woman looking for ANY reason to allow her to stay in the US.

I don't think "desperate" would be right choice of word here especially when an immigrant to the States says so. Anyway thanks for your comment Eric-Pris.
