At the Law Offices of Attorney Cindy Paul in New Jersey, we understand the profound impact that domestic violence can have on individuals and their families. Under the federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), victims of abuse by U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents have a path to secure lawful permanent residency, regardless of their gender.
Who Can Apply VAWA allows men and women who have suffered abuse to self-petition for legal status without the knowledge or involvement of the abusive family member. This important provision is designed to empower victims and provide them with a safe way to escape abusive environments.
Eligibility Criteria
You may be eligible to file a VAWA self-petition if you are:
Filing a Petition The process involves submitting a Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant (Form I-360). This confidential filing ensures that the abusive family member is not alerted to your application for residency.
