Need help. Husband humiliates me.

[Frank32 0]

Ive been in usa since past couple of months. My husband is very rude and degrading. Hes always thinking about himself. I was very sick so i told him to take me to a doc and that was the worst mistake ive ever dome im my life. He beats me sometimes. And treats me like im no human and have no emotions. He said all the bad things aboit me to his mom and dad and then they said im ruining there life and i dont make them happy even after doing so much for them . It hurts me a lot. He said hes gonna leave me im december now. The time i went to the doctor, she told me i am pregnant . He difnt seem happy and neither did his family, i really want the child to be with me. Since hes a us citizen will he have more rights towards my baby? Also after divorce since i have a conditional visa i will have to go back to my home country. But is there a way that i can get the citizenship and then go back? The only reason i want it is because i want a bright future for my child. I wanna bring him up with good resources. The place i live is a third world country and the education level isnt good. Please advice me hiw to achieve this

Op, if he beats you get out of there for the sake of yourself and your unborn baby. You do not need to stay with him to stay in the USA if you so wish, you can divorce and remove conditions on your greencard with a divorce waiver.

How should i apply for a divorce waiver?

There's a check box for it on the I-751.

Thank u. Also please tell me how to apply for a divorce in usa. Would i need a lawyer for that? I dont have money for a lawyer

Find your way to an abuse shelter in your area. You can look for them on google. Catholic Charities can help you for free with your divorce and petition, but, because you have no evidence, it can be difficult. I strongly suggest you call the police next time he hits or abuses you. Police will help you here, especially since you are pregnant. This is not India, women have rights, and when it comes to abuse, more so than men.

Also, remember to delete the history on your computer or use the incognito version of chrome.

Vawa (l360) does not apply to her case,since she is a green card holder. She can file l751 waiver based in extreme cruelty.

He beats me sometimes.

I stopped reading after this.

Call 911.

Ask them to take you to the commissioner to get a protective order against your husband or anyone who is taking part in this unlawful act.

Be cognizant of the fact that protective order is a two way street.

And then ask yourself.. what is important to you? A safe secure life or a life of illusive brightness?

Then decide if you want to stay in this country or find refuge elsewhere.
