In light of the recent election results, it’s more important than ever for those who have had VAWA consultations to take prompt action. The outcome of the presidential election, with Donald Trump’s return to the political forefront, signals potential shifts in immigration policy that could significantly impact immigrant communities. Drawing from past experiences during his previous administration, we can anticipate possible changes that underscore the urgency of securing legal status now.

 

Lessons from Past Shifts in Immigration Enforcement

Under the previous Trump administration, we witnessed increased ICE raids and deportations that led to fear and uncertainty within immigrant communities. Policies such as the travel ban and tightened asylum rules served as clear indicators of an administration focused on restrictive immigration measures. Additionally, there were widespread delays and increased scrutiny in the processing of immigration applications, causing further stress and challenges for those seeking relief. A significant shift in removal priorities meant that many individuals previously deemed low-priority were suddenly at risk.

 

Why Acting Now is Crucial

Delaying the initiation of your VAWA case can expose you to potential risks:

• Policy Changes: Sudden adjustments to eligibility criteria could limit or complicate access to immigration relief.
• Enforcement Actions: Those not in status may face a higher risk of deportation or other enforcement measures.
• Processing Delays: Administrative backlogs and stricter reviews are likely, making it essential to start the process sooner rather than later.

It is very important to act now to secure legal status and protect yourself and your family.

 

Benefits of Acting Quickly

Starting your case now could mean obtaining permission to stay in the U.S., allowing you to live without the fear of removal. Acting promptly provides a sense of security and helps prevent the uncertainties that come with potential policy shifts.
