Expert VAWA Immigration Consulting
What Is VAWA?
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a vital federal law that offers protection to individuals—regardless of gender—who have experienced domestic abuse, including emotional, physical, or psychological harm. This legal relief is available to spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
Through VAWA’s self-petition process, eligible survivors can apply for immigration benefits without relying on their abuser. Our experienced immigration consulting team is here to provide the guidance and support you need to navigate the process with confidence. We’re committed to helping you secure legal status and build a safe, stable future in the United States.
The VAWA self-petition is a powerful immigration option that allows eligible survivors of domestic violence, abuse, or certain qualifying crimes to apply for lawful permanent resident status (a green card) without the involvement of their abuser. This legal process gives survivors greater control over their immigration journey and reduces their dependence on abusive spouses or family members.
With the help of our experienced immigration consulting team, individuals who qualify under VAWA for extreme cruelty can file independently—without needing sponsorship from the abusive relative. This ensures that survivors can seek safety, legal stability, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives in the United States on their own terms.
