Looking for divorce after mistreatment and a K1 visa

Op said a minister came and picked her up and drove to the airport I think he would be a credible witness to get a signed letter from for proof of mental harassment

Thank you so much for your answer Sandra....What could I do to apply for VAWA? 

 

 

Well, that changed quickly.

 

Question... how did he control you back in Colombia?  You said he visited you (in Colombia?)  He came to your barrio, into your home, and you allowed him to leave (in one piece) afterwards? 

 

I understand about the abuse that you experienced in the US.  It's a shame that there are people like this out there.  Mean and insecure people who cut off all contact with the outside world for the immigrant wife or fiancée like a slave.  But this would not happen in Colombia.  I'm VERY familiar with Colombia.  There is NO way that a foreigner (America, gringo, whatever you want to call him) to come into a barrio, into your home, do what he did, and then be allowed to leave.  All you had to do is say 2 words and he would be leaving in an ambulance or not at all.

Thank you so much to everybody for taking time to read this and the good advice.  God bless you infinity.

 

Never is easy to talk about this. I feel so ashamed about the situation, and for me is almost traumatic to say one single word.

 

I would like, if is possible, contacting a pro bono attorney to start the process of divorce, may someone has information about one in Tulsa? The problen is that we would have to work out trough the distance because I do not live in United States.

 

Sandraj, I have read your posts, I deeply admire what you have done for survivors. And I thank you because you gave me hope about all this. However, I do not know if I can build a strong case since I am  not sure if I can prove two items: that we were living together and his US cityzenship.

 

About the first topic, my abuser deleted almost all the evidence of a life together while I was with him in US (pictures, videos), also we did not have any invoice under our names because we lived with his parents -later we had to move out but was for short time before I left- however nothing had my name because I was under finantial violence too -I even did not have an allowance-. Also, I was literally isolate, so I do not have a neighbor or someone else that may can speak about it.

 

Related to the citizenship, I do not hav any copy of his birth certificate or passport. Only my K1 Visa where he is the sponsor. And about the marriage certificate, I just have a picture of it and what I can download from Clerk...

 

Your opinion would be highly appreciated Sandraj, reading you makes me trust on each word of yours, I will follow your advise, thank you so much
