Victims of Family Violence
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) allows abused family members to seek a green card without a support petition by their abuser.
The victim should explain how the abuser's conduct impacted her quality of life or ability to function. The victim can apply from outside the U.S. if she can demonstrate that she was the victim of domestic violence in the United States.
