While the eligibility requirements for a VAWA self-petition have not changed in several years, we have seen alarming new filing trends. Previously, the number of VAWA self-petitions we received each year generally grew at a rate similar to other immigration benefits. However, since 2020, we have seen an unprecedented rise in VAWA receipts. Along with a substantial increase in the number of filings, we also saw significant changes in the characteristics of aliens submitting VAWA self-petitions. In addition to the increase in male self-petitioners cited above, we also saw a 2239% increase in parents submitting VAWA self-petitions from fiscal year 2020 to 2024. These have not traditionally been populations filing for VAWA.
