Get Help if You’re an Immigrant Facing Domestic Abuse

There are a couple of tools that can help victims of domestic abuse in relation to immigration:

• Violence Against Women Act (VAWA): This act allows non-residents who are abused by a U.S. citizen or legal resident spouse to fight for residency without involving their partner.
• U Nonimmigrant Status (U Visa): Available for individuals who came to the U.S. and experienced abuse, granting relief and protection from deportation.
• Removal of Conditions: If your spouse sponsored your conditional residence and is now abusive, a family immigration lawyer can help remove these conditions.

Our domestic abuse attorneys have extensive knowledge of VAWA cases and will guide you with sensitivity and expertise. If you’ve experienced abuse and are a foreign national, the U Visa may offer relief and protection. We also assist conditional residents seeking to remove conditions without their abusive spouse’s cooperation.
