No, he cannot AOS because he came when he was a child. He has to file an IR-1 and go to the consulate in his country when his interview is up. He also needs the waivers pre-approved before his interview. That is why I said it was a complicated case. I don't know how the waivers can get approved if he is not married.

I came here on a visa when i was small and now i am illegaly here. I filed for daca but was denied due to lack of evidence. 

 

He said that. I think many of you are giving the wrong advice. He cannot AOS. He has to do the IR-1 and go for an interview to the consulate when the time is up. He would also need the waivers to be pre-approved. 

 

I am not sure if WAVA covers all of that, including waivers. I might be wrong too.

 

He also didn't have enough evidence for DACA so I am not sure how he could do immigration, or why hasn't he done since he got married:

You need a lawyer. 

 

And you can also try to get counseling with your wife. If you go to church talk to the priest/pastor. At least bring someone else in to mediate between both of you. It would also help to share what it is going on with someone else.

OK. Here I found that VAWA grants exceptions to those who are unlawfully in the US:

So it would be a possibility. But OP needs strong evidence. It is not a "she said/he said" question.

I have never filed a report. I dont want her to go to jail. I also havent told anyone. I feel ashamed as i am a man and im being abused. I also think my father abusing makes me think at the end of the day that i deserve this. I always come back to those thoughts. I also think i am depressed as suicidal thoughts have crossed my mind. Being illegal is not easy.

Thank you all for the help. I will try and get a lawyer and see what happens. If anyone can link to pro bono lawyers i would appreciate it.

You should seek help. Doing counseling with your wife might help. She has been with you for a long time.

 

Do not mix your feeling towards your father and towards your wife. They are different people. And nobody deserves being abused.

Im in a small town in california. They do background checks since kids are there is what im guessing. I mean in the shelter. Also i dont think i even trust the police here. I was stopped one time for walking at night. I did not have an id and he asked me for my immigration status. I was young so i told him the truth he said get your legal or we will deport you. So im going to try to head to los angeles.
