The main issue seems she does not want to visit, she does not want to go home.

 

You said most of her family were in the US, and she seems to have little in the way of ties.

Well if she leaves her daughters back home, she would have no choice but to return especially for her youngest daughter. As of now it is not optional for the oldest to travel since she is still studying and she doesn't want to go anywhere without her daughters.

What do you mean she doesn't have a strong case of B? is it because her mother and brother are here and the counselor will think she will not go back? Sorry I am just trying to understand so that I can relay that information back to my mother in law.

We all know she won't return......at least, that is what I gather from this thread.  She must be able to convince the CO that she will not stay in the US.   I wisher her good luck, but the outlook isn't promising, imho.

Well we seem to have gone full circle, sounds like she needs a local solution.

hmmm thank you for that information. I appreciate it.

 

As of now, her husband is willing to divorce her but is not taking any financial responsibility of her but is willing to support the daughters. The oldest is still studying and finishing her studies so she will not be traveling anytime soon. the youngest is still in school but she can travel with her, however we are advising her not to travel. The Sister in law does not want to leave her kids and travel anywhere at least not the youngest one. Let's see what happens. We may just end up supporting her financially until she is ready to stand up on her own.

Good point.....hopefully, she will be able to live in the US at some point in the future.

When she is divorced her Mother can file for her as a GC holder, still not quick but will be in process. Now the Daughters will no doubt have aged out or married by then.

I guess that is what we will have to do at this point. Oldest is definitely going to age out. the youngest is only 10 I believe so hopefully it happens before she reaches 21.

10 year definitely has a chance, need that divorce sorted to get things going.

I was reading about the U-nonimmigrant visas and it mentions the domestic violence as one of the qualified crime.

Did her abuse occur in the United States?  No.  Not eligible.

 

Would she really try to come over on a visitor visa, and leave her kids with the abuser?  Unfortunately, she will not qualify for a B visa without perjuring herself and lying during the interview.

You mentioned that it could take a year or more

No.  It will take far longer, up to 15 years.

Clearly, she would not go back.  The entire premise of your post is that she is trying to escape an unfortunate DV situation by coming to the US - obviously she is not wanting to come for that visa's purpose, which is tourism and visiting.

 

She needs to be petitioned properly for an immigrant visa.  There is no way around that.  The consulate is well aware of the different ways people try to circumvent both the law and the queue for visas, so it wouldn't be their first rodeo with someone intending to immigrate on a nonimmigrant visa.

Pakistani courts can enforce alimony payments (no, if he just does rupee paper divorce it is not a legal divorce, it has to be done per procedures in MFLO 1961)

1. I personally do not know any shelters in pakistan who helps domestic violence victims but I can say is that in pakistan the justice system does not favor women and are often left to fend for themselves. And my sister in law and her kids will not get justice. Her husband is well connected and will do everything in his power to make sure she doesn't get justice. Her daughter confirmed that today. The guy has threatened them in the past with guns and with police threats. And since he knows people in the system, they will not help her. But I will research on good shelters.
