Understanding the VAWA Immigration Process

The VAWA immigration process allows certain abused immigrants to self-petition for legal status in the United States without the knowledge or consent of their abuser. This process is designed to protect victims of domestic violence, offering a pathway to safety and independence. At Burgos Law, we provide detailed guidance on each step, from initial consultation to final approval, ensuring you have the support you need to navigate this complex process.

VAWA Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for VAWA, you must meet specific eligibility requirements. These include being a spouse, child, or parent of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident who has subjected you to battery or extreme cruelty. Our team at Burgos Law will help you determine your eligibility and gather the necessary evidence to support your claim. We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and handle each one with the utmost care and confidentiality.

VAWA Application Timeline

The timeline for a VAWA application can vary, but understanding the general process can help set realistic expectations. Typically, the process involves submitting a self-petition, followed by a waiting period for USCIS to review and make a decision. Our attorneys at Burgos Law will keep you informed at every stage, ensuring you are prepared for any developments. We strive to expedite the process wherever possible, leveraging our expertise to minimize delays.

Benefits of VAWA Self-Petition

Filing a VAWA self-petition offers numerous benefits, including the ability to apply for work authorization and, eventually, a green card. This process empowers victims to break free from abusive situations without fear of deportation. At Burgos Law, we are committed to helping you understand and maximize these benefits, providing a pathway to a safer and more secure future.
