Hello everyone, I am in a difficult situation. I am a GC holder with conditions. The US citizen and I got married back in october within 90 days of my arrival on a K1 visa.
For those who came in the same case will understand that we compromise a lot in order to be with the person we love. I left my friends, family, house and job behind to restart my life with the person I would be together forever.
But living together didnt workout. My partner didnt want to have sex with me, at all. But would have sex with others without a problem. I accepted that for a while, but I was not mean to live like that. We had many arguments about this matter and at some point I gave up.
Financially, I have never had a problem with clothes or food. Initially the only problem we had was the sex. After a couple of months trying to deal with this, I gave up and wanted a time for myself to figure out what would happen with us.
He said he wouldnt give me this time, he would divorce immediately, so I would have to leave the country. It happened before I got the temporary green card.
I loved him, and it was scary to hear how he was reacting. After speaking with his friends, he apologized and said he would say that again.
Moving forward, during an argument, he pushed me really strong, i gave 4 steps back to not fall. I scared me again, I cried and then said he would never touch me that way again or he would never see me again.
Another situation, with the progress of our relationship only going down hill, he would ask me to leave his house - we live in a city that is really expensive to find a place. The average price for a shared room is $1000. have your own room its around $1800 . Knowing that, he would threat me asking me to leave his house exactly because I would not have a place o go.


after this all, I still loved him.. the passion was over, but I still care about him. Until the day he broke up with me. I accepted that, and I was ready to move on with my life. But he is still trying to control my life since I still havent found a place to go. I am looking but the harassment keeps happening. He acts like we are still married and on going relationship, but asks me to sleep in the couch. Buy my own food while he buys his. He goes out without telling what he is going to do or lies about it. But I am required to give 100% of info about what I am going to do if I go out.

Now that we are going to divorce, I want to know what are my options to stay here in the US. I didnt want to make him any trouble. But I cant stay quiet anymore. Ive been holding on for too long. I wanna speak out about it but I am not sure if it is a good reason to apply for VAWA. I would love to have counseling about it. I dont wanna do anything wrong and Dont know whe I should seek for help.

I didnt share anything what was happening with my family in my country because they would feel too worry about me here. And also didnt share with friends because I was ashamed of going thru this here.

Her visa expired the day she entered the US with it. The K1 visa can be used only one time to enter the US. After that, it's invalid and the I-94 determines the period of authorized stay.
Don't rely on any government agency to be familiar with US immigration laws. Even the customer service people at USCIS often don't give accurate information. If the CA DMV would have issued a California State ID then it would have had the same expiration date as the I-94. The people who screwed up were not the people who refused to issue the ID, but the people who accepted the application (and the fee) in the first place.
Her valid passport is good enough for identification purposes with TSA, and generally acceptable for domestic travel. There is a possibility that they will notice the expired I-94. In that event, they'll call ICE and/or CBP to assist in verifying her legal status. If you're at an international airport then there will be a CBP office at the airport. If you have the receipt notice for the I-485 then they'll be able to verify that she is lawfully present while her AOS petition is being processed. The odds of getting pulled out for this sort of processing and investigation are relatively small, but if it does happen then it will probably delay you. Check in and clear security early to help avoid potential problems.
