long story short I was married to a man who emotionally physically and verbally abused me almost daily. He used my immigration status as leverage to get away with hurting me. I filed my vawa 1 week ago on January 8, 2018.( My children are listed on my vawa application) but I only submitted a an adjustment of status form for myself attached to my vAWA(because I didn't have any money at the time to pay for my two kids to adjust their status right now). My concerns are:
1)if my vawa is approved does that mean my kids are also eligible for a green card just by being named on my vawa application?
2) the fact that I'm not adjusting my kids status now. Will I be able to adjust thier status at a future date based on my approved vawa?

Even if this date is a year after approval?
