We are pleased to share a recent success story! Another one of our clients has received Green Card approval through a VAWA self-petition. This marks a significant step toward securing their permanent residency and independence in the United States.

 

VAWA provides a way for immigrant survivors of domestic violence to apply for a Green Card without relying on their abusive U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child. This legal protection is essential for those in vulnerable situations, allowing them to seek safety and stability on their own terms. Our client’s approval highlights the importance of this legislation in offering protection and a path forward.

 

 

The process of obtaining a Green Card through VAWA involves the submission of a detailed affidavit regarding all types of abuse endured and the qualifying relationship. We work closely with our clients to compile the necessary documentation and draft declarations.  This collaborative effort was key to our client’s success.

 

If you or someone you know is having problems in their marriage to a US citizen or green card holder and needs help with their immigration status, we may be able to assist. Please contact our office at 703-348-1663 for a consultation.
