VAWA help

[Les1981 0]

Hello,

 

I understand there are numerous changes due to the pandemic.  My questions are as follows:

 

1.  My daughter and I were both abused.  Should I apply as the abused spouse or the parent of an abused child?

2. I would like to apply for consular processing while remaining in Canada.  Is the process completely shut down?

3.  My understanding is I have 2 years post divorce to complete this, is that accurate?

4.  Can you apply even if your spouse was not charged by presenting other evidence?

 

Thank you!

Les

1. I am not sure, I think the odds are pretty much the same if you have evidence for both.. so I will leave this question to the experts on this forum. 

2. USCIS is still working bc I knew personally people who got their cases approved recently. They are just not open to public. 

3. Yes. 2 years.

4. Your spouse does not need to be charged, however you need adequate evidence to prove the abuse. if it's physical- police report/medical record etc. if it's mental- have you attended any therapy due to the abuse? any evaluation from your therapist. and of course, there is always your own affidavit, your friends/family's affidavits

Has anyone here had a VAWA visa approved through consular processing? How long after it was granted did you have to move (visa expire)? 
 

Thank you!!

I believe I am ready to apply for the VAWA. I need to apply in Canada. 
 

questions

1) how do you submit paperwork for consular processing outside the US?

2) they don’t have updated forms on the site? Should I use expired forms
