It's been 6 years since she keeps threatening me and abuse what is the way to continue this case without the petitioner?

No, you are not eligible for the VAWA process. That is only for those who already have their green card and need to file for removing conditions without their spouse.

 

It took 6 years for your I-130 to be approved by USCIS?

[Sam100 2]

no i got approved i130 on 21 jan 2015 but some reason we are not together anymore

 

but it showing on below link that spouse could apply for VAWA if abused

That is if the abuse occured in the US and you left to go abroad for your safety.  Where is your wife living.

let me brief you again.

i got married  in india in 2014 after marry she abused me physically as well.   my wife went back to USA and she applied CR 1 Visa for me and i got i130 approved 

then USCIS transferred my case to NVC but she is not ready to continue my case and she keeps threatening me and abuse im stuck in between
