    'deeplyhurted' if you want to file vawa you have to prove

    Eligibility Requirements for a Spouse

    You are:

    1- married to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident abuser or

    2-your marriage to the abuser was terminated by death or a divorce (related to the abuse) within the 2 years prior to filing, or

    your spouse lost or renounced citizenship or permanent resident status within the 2 years prior to filing due to an incident of domestic violence, or

    you believed that you were legally married to your abusive U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse but the marriage was not legitimate solely because of the bigamy of your abusive spouse.

    Hi Again,

    Have another question who qualifies for VAWA (I 360)? Is it for those who already have conditional green card or for others too who does not have any type of green card at all? Please share your experiences.

    Thanks

    dear deeplyhurted

    You don't need the I-360. What you need is file the I-751 (yes normally) same as if you will do it jointly but you mark on the BOX E :

    " I am a conditional resident spouse who entered a marriage in good faith, and during the

    marriage I was battered by or was the subject of extreme cruelty by my U.S. citizen or

    permanent resident spouse or parent."

    And the only person who sign that form will be you.

    You filed the form with all the evidence that you have from your bona fide marriage not limited to bank accounts, joint tax returns, lease,loan, bills etc etc in both names or in name of one or the other but that STATES THE SAME ADDRESS!! Whatever you can get from your relationship. Pictures, did you have kids? if so, add the birth certificates...remember PHOTOCOPIES, no originals! you keep them that is your evidence.

    Now, make a compilation of all your psychological evaluation and put a letter up front explaining why you are filing with the waiver of abuse spouse. Add your doctors, therapist and social workers, is IMPORTANT that they include their license number, organization they belonged to and their name and address. You will add that as part of your evidence to be filing with the waiver of filing jointly. The only thing that I am not sure is if you put originals from your doctor or copies of it...I think copies are fine since you need that information for you in the case you get call for an interview later on.

    Since you are applying for the abuse waiver is my understanding that is the only case there is not a requirement to be divorce from your spouse.

    If you need more info, there are information on shelters that can give you a legal aid counseling free of charge or with a small flat fee and that will help you to get through your immigration situation.

    Good luck! i hop that will help
