OP,

 

Best of luck to you and look out for you and your son's safety, peace of mind, and happiness above all else.

Thank you. I needed that. Hoping my situation will change soon.

Met someone and we dated and fell in love. Broke up twice but got back together because he pursued and he decided he couldn't live without me so we got married in August. 

 

Just a piece of advice going forward: put your wants and needs first, not someone else's. It isn't being selfish or self-centered, I promise. 

 

Anyway, best of luck to you. Like everyone else, I think you should fly home as soon as you can.

Change doesnt happen on its own. You have to make changes. Create the life you want- one that makes you happy.

 

He has no job, no money and most importantly NO INTENTIONS of getting you any kind of status. Seriously- think about that for a second- he has no intentions of getting you legal status. He is forcing you to remain an illegal immigrant. That is not love. Its cruel, its not how you treat someone you love or care about. 

 

side note @debbiedoo everytime you post I like you more and more. Sorry if that sounds creepy. I just think you are awesome. Probably cause I agree with everything you say- birds of a feather flock together- and you are my kinda flock

I agree on all these points. It sounds like the OP's husband just wants her to stay illegal even though it is detrimental to her. This could be for a variety of reasons I will not name them here. 

 

OP, it sounds like you need to reevaluate everything right now and go forward based off the decision you make then. 

 

@Damara I have to agree with in this as well. @debbiedoo seems like a very rational person and I am happy she is around.

many people don't leave as "I really love him"

some stay 20 or more years thru thick and thin 

later to give up

now,  at ages 40 and 50,  they look back and think 

God   i looked good at 20 and 30  and I wasted all that time on someone NOT WORTH IT

BTW

u can call 911 and ask for help as u only have $20

there are plenty of church orginizations the police know about

they can give u # of social services

there is help out there 

u just have to search that area for it

if any abuse past or present there are shelters

Sorry about your relationship and break up. It happens. You will get over it with time but you came here in a Visa that wasn’t for the intent of marriage anyway so you really you did not lose anything. You will find another guy in your home country. How are you exactly stuck?

Hopefully the Consulate can help.

 I don't think VAWA applies to you because you have no status. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Your best choice is to go back to your country, file divorce and start again.

Vawa applies to a spouse who is being abused regardless if anything has yet to be filed.  Often it is a way for a person to get status when their controlling and abusive spouse has refused to file anything. 

Keeping someone from having a legal status on purpose is controlling and manipulative.

I guess it does not  hurt to hire a lawyer and see if she can self file?
