I'm not an expert and am just starting getting everything together for a VAWA petition. I've also seen the news articles about VAWA not being reauthorized, but according to the USCIS website (https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/battered-spouse-children-parents):

 

"The VAWA provisions, which apply equally to women and men, are permanent and do not require congressional reauthorization."

Ok .The news is confusing. When do you plan to submit yours?.

I came into the country in May 2017 with my daugther. I got married to my soon to be ex husband in March 2018..Our marriage lasted only 2month as I was abused on some occasions which one of them includes my 7 year old daughter been involved. He at first seized my daughter n I passport,my phone and all documents we were keeping for the green card filling..Eventually I got my passport back .The only evidence I have is Our marriage certificate, copy of his birth certificate,a copy of his i.d,letters from friends and social worker and just our wedding pictures(as my phone got broken by him and the second phone was forcefully taken from when so I wont call the police during the last physical abuse...We could not open a bank account because I Did not have social security. We could not get a house too and we were staying first at his mother then later my cousins. I ran away from Indiana to Maryland when I could not take the abuse anymore..I am saying a lawyer who said I should file for Asylum and vawa.  My questions are:Can i still file for vawa with the new saying it has expired?.. I need help in getting a free legal service as I cant afford my lawyers bill of 7000.
