If you’ve been in a relationship with a green card holder or a US citizen and have suffered emotional or physical abuse, there may be hope through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). This act is a beacon of light for those who have been subjected to trauma in relationships and are seeking a way out while pursuing their legal status in the United States.
One significant aspect of VAWA is its recognition of emotional abuse. If you have experienced emotional trauma in your relationship, you have the option to have a licensed therapist provide documentation of the impact it has had on your mental health. This crucial piece of evidence can bolster your case for obtaining a green card independently, without relying on your abusive spouse.
