Sorry to hear that your marriage did not work out. Why not go home to family and friends?

[GueraKristina 1]

That makes me really angry that your husband treated you like that. No wonder he is divorced 3 times. what a jerk. Im not sure how you stay here, i just wish you the best, no matter what you do, stay here, or go back home. good luck.

You may be able to self petition, whatever you do dont leave the country before you find out for sure. Check into catholic charities in your town they might be able to help or call your local lawyers referral service and ask for an immigration and/or family law lawyer.

Did your your husband cancelled your adjustment of status for the 2 year conditional green card? Or, is this cancellation for the 10 year green card?

The whole purpose of VAWA is that an alien that can demonstrate abuse (emotional or physical) does not need a USC petitioner or sponsor to gain permanent residency. Do not worry about the cancelled petition. Just contact Catholic Human Charities and pursue VAWA.

You would be filing I-485, along with I-360, and I-864W, you can also file I-765 for EAD.

You are filing for an immigrant visa as a self-petitioning battered spouse or child. If you are filing as a self petitioning battered spouse or child using Form I-360, you are exempt from the Affidavit of Support requirements if your Form I-360 is approved and you are

applying for lawful permanent residence.

What do you do for living? Do you have kids? If your not working and just a dependent from your abusive husband it is very tough. You lived in Buena Park CA. Right? What is your Phone # maybe I can give you some input.

Goodluck

That makes me really angry that your husband treated you like that. No wonder he is divorced 3 times. what a jerk. Im not sure how you stay here, i just wish you the best, no matter what you do, stay here, or go back home. good luck.

I am not being mean but i agree, you came here for love it did not work, y don't you go home to your family where u know people. I have a hard time completely believing these stories. You had this bad experience but yet you want to stay! That don't sound right to me. I am not saying your marriage was perfect, i don't know and we don't know your husbands point of view either. There is so much questions, what if he realized you used him to come here then decided he wanted a divorce, and you knowing the law cause you took a class before you came to the US about the laws decided to call 911 in order for you to stay. Like i said i am not being mean i just find a lot of question in these cases. The number one thing that makes me ask question is, you don't want to go home. Your in this strange town, you have this abusive husband yet you still want to stay? that is odd. But none the less good luck!

When you marry a USC and come to the US in the majority of cases you give up everything in order to be with the one you love. When that USC abuses the immigrant albeit verbally or physically or both then the immigrant needs to be given the full protection of the law. If the immigrant wishes to stay in the US then given the premise that they came here in good faith to be with their lawfully married spouse then they should be allowed to stay.

In this instance the immigrant has done the right thing and reported the abuse to the authorities. It is only by reporting this abuse to the authorities does the immigrant have any protection. I truly wish when I was assaulted on more than one occasion by my USC wife I had reported the matter. I also suffered mental abuse which I kept to myself. I was a stranger in this country and also a man and as my wife was diminutive it would have looked strange me reporting her for the abuse I suffered. Not only that I had male pride which was stupid given the abuse I needlessly suffered.

In my personal case my USC wife passed away and I have a story that would fill countless volumes on my immigration experience. Needless to say I am now married to a wonderful USC and we are very happy and hoping this immigration story can have the ending it deserves, a happy one.

This lady immigrant has a new home now the USA, she left her home to be here genuinely and was abused for that privilege. I do hope the authorities take good care of her, for in the immigration world compassion is a rarity.

Best wishes for your future

I have not commented much out here, since I have been so focused on my own situation. However, I spent some money on an intial consultation with an immigration attorney, who reviewed the K-1 timeline in detail with me. I remember his advice about the 2-year period, and that the law does not require the foreign spouse does to remain married for 2 years if she can demonstrate that she been the victim of Domestic Violence. Get yourself to a shelter for battered women, then get yourself some legal advice from a lawyer. Your future depends on it. If you feel overwhelmed by all of this, and I am sure you are, just ask one of the women at the shelter to help you find a lawyer. The perfect lawyer for you is an immigration lawyer who also does divorces, or a divorce lawyer who also sidelines in immigration law. Good luck and God bless you.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through.

In order for you to have come to the U.S., someone had to have sponsored you and that person is legally obligated to continue providing for your support, even with a divorce. Someone mentioned that you should contact Catholic Charities, which is an excellent idea for now. Also, contact Health and Human Services in your State. You may qualify for emergency assistance in the form of food, shelter, and sometimes a few months of monetary assistance. If you don't qualify due to your immigrant status, they may initiate an action on your behalf against the person who is obligated to provide for your support, or direct you to an agency that can assist with this. Also, you may want to contact a family law attorney as well as an immigration attorney. Again, Catholic Charities often provides free assistance to immigrants.

Hopes this helps a little and I will be praying for you. However, you should definitely consider going to a women's shelter for now to protect yourself from harm.

Sincerely,

Dionne
