Do you have a green card? Is your Husband abusive to you?

i know it's not a ground ..but he acknowledged everything that his mom. did yet he did nothing..

he just left ..he showed me apartments n stuff to move out but he disappeard.

he knew wat was going on in that house yet he didn't take any stand..doing someone bad is another thing and knowing about it and still not standing up fr it is another..he took an easy way and abondoned me... is abondonement less then any abuse?

The abuse inflicted by your mother in-law is not a ground for VAWA. Your husband not standing up for you is not  considered abuse either. It seems you got married to a loser, and you had what USCIS calls "an unpleasant marriage".

 

Abandonment, by itself,  is not enough to get a VAWA I-360  approved, it happens if the person leaves the spouse without water,food and without communication with the outside world, directly exposing the another person to danger.
