@Kiran8790 why do you want to file for VAWA? What did your husband do?

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Not making you happy doesn't qualify for VAWA.

 

For alimony, I guess you have to contact your local courts/ get a local lawyer to advise.

Basically a 2 stage process, get divorced where you are and then seek enforcement of any order in a US court.

Which indicates that the OP might not understand that.  In fact, it seems the OP has a continuing relationship and living/visiting arrangement with the spouse.

Exactly.   So funny how commenters in the thread are quick to mention restraining orders (and define VAWA for me) etc, when the OP has not made mention of anything even mildly related to filing for VAWA.

I want to ask if I can apply for vawa outside the U.S. I am married to U.S. citizen. I never travel to U.S. But my hasband work for one of the States (IL). He is State employee (not Federal). If I meet other requirements of vawa, do I meet requirement of hasband must be U.S. government employee for applying vawa outside the  U.S.? He works in U.S. He visit me often.

 

Please help. 

I took that as meaning she or he did.

No one is required to post their abuse when asking a question. If some says VAWA it is understood Domestic Violence. 

Phase I - IV - Completed the Immigration Journey

Obviously.   In this case however, it is clear that OP is not eligible to file for VAWA.   Being unhappy is not adequate for VAWA criteria.
