Hi,

I was told to join this forum for suggestions and tips to proceed with VAWA application. First of all, I am male victim of abuse. Let me make this story short for you. I have facing mental and physical abuse for at least 14 months. My wife has thrown knives, scissors and utensils on me several time. I am going to apply for VAWA. I need your suggestions. I have these things to go.

  1. Medical Note from doctor about my injuries (it does not state about abuse). 
  2. Joint Lease of TWO YEARS 
  3. Joint bank account with running statements of TWO YEARS
  4. Some pictures from other sources (since she had destroyed my laptop and cellphone). 
  5. Auto Insurance (she is an excluded driver as she had no driver's license). 
  6. Bill copies of two years (all on her name since I had no ssn at that time). 
  7. Affidavits from our common friends about the abuse 
  8. Affidavits from my boss (she came and assaulted me and yelled at me) 
  9. Psychologist's evaluation 
  10. Some pictures of my wounds and physical abuse. 
  11. A declaration from our landlord about me and my wife living together and good tenants ( not confirmed yet but he willing to give it to me).

I have one fear. For some months, I had to work on odd jobs to make money for her as she was getting very brutal on those days. Is it gonna affect my VAWA application? What kind of other proofs should I gather before jumping into this process?  I would really appreciate your help. 

Moreover, I also have one question. Is my EAD going to be ceased or revoked if I go with VAWA? What would I do then? I do not want to be a burden for other people. I want to make my own money. I want to proceed with studies too. Probably, something in healthcare. Please, suggest me something.  

 

I think it should have been named Violence Against Men And Women Act (VAMWA) LOL! Obviously women aren't the only one abused. Some women spouse are abusers so yes you seem to have the requirements to petition for Vawa! Throw in good moral character report and you're all set! No your EAD can't be revoked! Except there are unusual circumstances surrounding the situation..hopefully not! Yes I've read from folks here some are students already so you can study! We have an attorney in the forum who can be of great help to you as well @sandranj please be of good cheer! This too shall pass! Goodluck!

I was very anxious at first but thank God for everything. Thank you for the prayers! 😊

Question, Have anyone had a VAWA approval within 1yr? I see so many people waiting 1.5yrs or even longer. Anyone waiting 1yr or less for VAWA approval?

I think I've read about such cases in the past but times have changed and wait times have increased significantly. That not withstanding, anything can happen. Goodluck.

Understood. My EAD is gonna be expired in January, 2020. So I am really confused. For studies, I need grants that I can't obtain wothout GC. Should I write it down about my studies and EAD in my personal statement?

Grants..studies..EAD..doesn't have anything to do with your affidavits..in my opinion it's deviating from the purpose of the petition. When you file and the officer finds your supporting documents satisfactory, you may be issued a prima facie document which comes with benefits. Most people have been able to get such things like you mentioned..I have never tried it..so I don't know much how it works..but I've read on here some were lucky enough to get that much. You have an EAD that expires almost one year from now! Concentrate on this! If its a c9 EAD tgen you may be able to renew at the end of it's duration. One day at a time..you never know what tomorrow might bring!
