Gather money somehow, ask family and leave USA. Pretty sure that's better then being abused.

If she is married to a US citizen and he is abusing her, she can file an I-360.  She needs to be able to document the abuse, but if she can prove it she can get a green card as the self petitioning sp

If only been  a couple months I would just get help to leave the US.... said she doesn't even speak English so (assuming she only speaks Portuguese.), probably easier back home.

Excellent, let us know how they help her.

Well I found the cheapest way for them to get to Rio I think. Take the 5 hour drive to Dallas flu to Miami for 90 bucks then from Miami to Rio is 460 so that's less than 600 a piece even if you figure in a bus ticket if no one can drive her. Not sure how helpful that is. I always drive or fly to another airport when I go to Thailand because they charge you way more if you connect in the states for some reason.

She is actually in Ohio, where she is living. Me and my wife are here in Arkansas, but in the north part, so would be a lot further than 5 hours to Dallas. Here in Arkansas is where they married, but have lived in Ohio the whole time, and of course, doesn't appear he will be bringing her back to catch a plane here in Arkansas. She will be needing a flight out of Ohio...Thanks for the research though!!

Hello woods, how are you? Well, I'm in Brazil and maybe I could be a contact trough you with her family. We can also try to raise some money using some websites. I have groups on FB of Brazilians living in USA.

You seem like a very good person. At this point, she is thinking that her soon to be ex-husband may be going to buy her tickets to leave. She is still concerned whether or not there are things that need to be settled before leaving, such as child support, but she knows she can't get it before she has the baby, and she has to leave before the baby is born so as to not get stuck here...Thank you very much for the offer!!

I assume you needed a live birth to kick off the Child Support issue?

So far, they have given her a phone, to try to work on the situation. They have a lawyer there, not sure how good...but he has pretty much said there is nothing they, or she can do for her. It aggravates me that he is saying they are living in Arkansas, to keep from paying taxes where he is living now in Ohio. Seems like that would be nice for the judge to know, that the divorce complaint has false information. Of course the bottom line is that she gets back to Brazil safely...

Yes, that seems like what is required, even though in the divorce complaint he is saying it may not be his...after she is in Brazil, it may be next to impossible to collect child support.

Do it step by step.

 

1. You can start fundraising for her at https://www.gofundme.com/

 

2. Tell her to write a post in Facebook groups in Portuguese, let her explain the situation she is in, and give her link in gofundme so Brazilians in Ohio can donate money to her with 1 click.
