How does the VAWA visa work?
- A VAWA self-petitioner is a person who petitions the U.S. government for a green card without going through his or her spouse, parent, or child first. (Generally, a spouse, parent, or child cannot petition the U.S. government for a green card; their relative must do so on their behalf.)
How long does it take for a VAWA visa to be approved?
The processing time for a VAWA residency can take anywhere from 12 to 36 months or more. This varies depending on factors such as delays at the Immigration Department (USCIS), or the complexity of the case. For this reason, it is important to prepare a complete and accurate application to expedite the process.
What does the VAWA visa forgive?
The VAWA visa forgives illegal entry or irregular immigration status of victims of domestic violence, allowing them to seek permanent residence in the United States.
Can I apply for Vawa if I entered illegally?
Yes, you can apply even if you entered illegally, as accepted by the Immigration Department (USCIS) on its official website.
What happens to the abuser?
Nothing, the VAWA process is completely confidential and secure. This means that VAWA does not affect the abuser. He will never be notified that you have started this process. He will also not be allowed to access your documents or any type of communication between the Immigration Department (USCIS) and you.
