Have you contacted the bar assoc in your state or AILA to see if there is anyone who does pro bono work and would at least give you a consult?

I personally think you're going to have to make preparations to go home and should probably focus your attention on that.

Good luck

Unless you know her facts, you should really not speculate this way. It's not the lawyer that makes the difference, but how the "law" can be applied to her situation. So it's the Law....yer not doing her any favors by speculating (sorry, but I had to put in that play on words :-).

So you have looked at her facts and ruled out any possibility of a VAWA I-360?

Okay I justr found it on the USCI site and I have not been a physically abused spouse. I do not think I qualify for that I am not sure as I do not know the law here. I do have someone who will sponsor me does that help or do I have to do it through my marriage. This is really breaking me down.

He has never physically hit me he has only emotionally hurt me yelling at me, threatening me ect so I don't think I qualify.

I dunno Ray he threatened me that if i didn't work to pay him back his money for lodging my paperwork that he would bring me down and have me deported by saying our marriage was a sham. I entered my marriage in good faith he just wanted his money back or else. judge that for yourself darl all I know is that i worked my tail off and I paid him his money back and got it in writing to so he can never come and ask for it again.

I really dnt know what else to say only that I dnt want to have to suffer and leave b/c he has no idea how to even take care of mimself let alone me ( his wife ) Thanx for your advice it Ray and have a great day.
Hey there Kittya:

I am so sorry to hear about your situation, I remember your post back in May under the other name.
As Ray has stated if you haven't filed for AOS.. your chances to stay in the US are Zero. Why do you want to stay in the US?, You haven't establish a life here yet. I don't want to sound mean but if your husband is that bad I will leave and if you really want to settle down in the US, I would find another way to get here.
Good Luck and keep us updated!!
Chin up!! ((Kittya)
