Hello everyone! I'm currently in the process of applying for VAWA dont have an attorney yet, and like many others who have applied, I'm feeling quite nervous about the sufficiency of the evidence I've gathered. Here's what I have:
A police report documenting the last incident, which was an elbow to my face I received that I has to go to the hospital.
A medical report diagnosing "Assault and Domestic Violence of Adult."
Screenshots of verbal abuse and manipulation when I expressed concerns about smoking due to my severe asthma.
Evidence of her attempting to reach out to a deportation lawyer and threatening deportation when I wouldn't agree with hwe on something.
Documentation of financial irresponsibility, evident in her failure to contribute to immigration attorney fees but purchasing a new car post-divorce.
A photograph of physical assault resulting in a visible bite mark.
Testimony from my mother regarding communication restrictions imposed by my ex.
Knowledge of her criminal history, including prior imprisonment for providing alcohol to minors.
Infidelity on two occasions.
Instances of drug use, including weed and mushrooms, while under psychiatric medication.
Her constantly threatening me with her two drug dealers when I told her to stop bringing them to our apartment complex, buying drugs and doing them for her own and also my safety.
Financial control to the point that since I was not working and waiting for my papers, she would only buy her gluten free and dairy free stuff making me eat only what she wanted, resulting on me losing almost 19 pounds.
I returned to my home country for my physical and psychological well-being and have been undergoing psychological and psychiatric treatment to address the trauma l've experienced.
The diagnosis of severe PTSD and the need for antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication, despite no previous history, highlight the profound impact of my ordeal. It's been a challenging journey, but I remain hopeful that seeking justice through the VAWA law will provide closure.
Considering the extensive evidence I've gathered, I'm optimistic it meets the requirements for my VAWA application.
For anyone that has applied and gotten their
VAWA approved, so you think I have a chance V should I do it?
Thank vou sincerely!
