New VAWA Policy: Get an Attorney or Get Denied
VAWA green cards are more difficult to get without a lawyer’s help because of a new policy by this administration. Survivors need to prove not only the abuse they survived but also are now being asked to put into words the abuser’s MOTIVES. That’s like asking someone trapped in a burning building to explain what the arsonist was thinking. Only professional firefighters (and professional VAWA attorneys) can do this.
Is This Enough Abuse to Win VAWA Green Card?
The new VAWA policy by US Citizenship and Immigration Services says, “hurtful conduct alone, or adverse interactions of limited severity, are not sufficient.” Blandon Law attorneys will talk with you over several conferences. We will edit your statement so that it is clear to USCIS that there was a pattern of abuse by the US citizen (or green card holder) spouse. The pattern in the statement edited by Blandon Law attorneys proves what the abuser was thinking, which is what USCIS now requires to grant a VAWA green card.
Can I Get a VAWA Green Card if My Husband Called the Police on Me?
Under the Laken Riley Act, foreigners are detained (arrested) for certain crimes even if no judge and no jury has convicted them. If the spouse called the police on you, absolutely positively hire the best VAWA I-360 lawyer you can afford before filing any applications.
Can I Get a VAWA Green Card if I Didn’t Live with Spouse in the U.S.?
Often, abusers – to maintain power and control over their spouses – refuse to put the foreigner’s name on any documents. That’s okay. Blandon Law attorneys use other documents to prove that the survivor lived at the abuser’s address: driver’s license; mail addressed to the abuser’s address; children’s school records addressed to the abuser’s address; bills, invoices, memberships to organizations where the address listed for the survivor was the abuser’s address.
***IMPORTANT: even if the married couple lived together only outside the United States, the survivor could still get a green card through VAWA.***
