Is slapping considered domestic violence? can someone use VAWA based on slapping?

It certainly can be, depending on what you consider slapping...

Were you/ your spouse arrested for it? Is there a police report?

[aaron2020 11,651]

A single slap? No.

Lots of slaps? Yes, but bring proof - police reports and hospital records.

around 5 slaps that she admits in a yahoo conversation

IS there a police report?

IS there a court date?

One slap would be enough to prove domestic violence

Emails can be easily manipulated/doctored. You are going to need more substantial documentation if emails are all you've got.

So based on what you wrote, your wife slapped you, and you are wondering whether you could use it against her.

Where are you from, and how long have you been married?

Could you be more specific? Otherwise, it reads like a joke...

Yeah, I'm sorry, but tell me there is more to this than just you wanted to use something so ridiculous against her.

what is your immigration status?

if you already hold a green card, i suggest you seek reconciliation instead of other legal paths.

For a resident alien male to be slapped by a USCitizen female - usually there's other stuff going on, like you really really enraged her to the point of violence.

For example, she finds out you sent 2/3rds of her last paycheck off to your family, instead of using it to pay the rent. A Human would get really enraged by that occurrence.
