The United States created the VAWA Visa to protect immigrant victims from abuse, domestic violence or extreme cruelty, no matter their gender or sexual orientation. This visa helps victims get a green card without their abuser’s help, freeing them from control and helping them build a safe and independent life.
Is the VAWA Visa for you? Answer the following questions:
Are you currently in the United States without legal immigration status?
Is your abuser a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident?
Are you a victim of violence or extreme cruelty by your spouse, parent, or child over 21 years old?
Have you suffered physical, psychological, emotional, verbal, or sexual abuse by them?
If you answered YES to any of these, you might be eligible for the VAWA Visa.
