Spouse, children or parents abused, you can file an immigrant visa petition under Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), for its acronym in English. VAWA allows certain spouses, children and parents of US citizens and certain spouses and children of permanent residents (Green Card) to submit your own request without the abuser's knowledge. This will allow victims to feel safe and independence from the abuser. VAWA provisions apply equally to women and men. Your abuser will not be notified that you have applied for immigration benefits under VAWA.
