VAWA

VAWA

VAWA allows certain victims of battery or extreme cruelty to petition for lawful permanent residency without the knowledge, consent, or financial sponsorship of their abuser. Despite its name, VAWA protections are available to victims of any gender. This is one of the most sensitive and evidence-intensive immigration processes that exists; success depends on building a compelling, well-documented case, which is why having an experienced immigration attorney guide you through every step is critical.

IMPORTANT. Please note that these are the most common eligibility factors for Acquisition of Citizenship. The rules governing Acquisition of Citizenship are highly complex and have changed multiple times throughout history, meaning that the law in effect at the time of the child's birth is the one that applies. For this reason, it is especially important to talk to an immigration attorney to determine whether your child acquired US citizenship at birth.
