That's a tough one.

Curious questions:

Who filed your affidavit of support?

Are you still married?


I venture to say, anything is possible, but I would rely on the opinion of a lawyer that had a few like this under his/her belt.

Take to the lawyer all the docs you can find and get an opinion before you decide how to proceed. Not just any layer, hopefully one with a few cases like yours, so they know what to expect

Yes, of course you can. You will have to thoroughly document the abuse. This is not something you want to do on your own, so make sure you get an attorney to help you.

As always, I acknowledge that I did not write this, nor do I know who did.

VAWA Filing

A self petitioner's declaration is also an affidavit. Explain in your own words to describe the history and nature of your relationship and residence with the abuser, history and nature of the abuse, and the ways to show good moral character. If you need to write your own, a good declaration contains the following:

Section on relationship to the abuser
• How, when, and where the applicant met the spouse.
• Describe the courtship before they married.
• Details about the marriage proposal and wedding day.
• If children, when were they born?

Section on residence with the abuser
• When they moved in together.
• Places where they lived together.
• How long they lived in each place together.

Section on domestic violence
• HOW and WHEN spouse began abusive behavior;
• How long into marriage did spouse's behavior change?
• Was behavior change sudden or gradual?
• Focus on FIRST, WORST, and LAST incidents;
• Include both PHYSICAL and PSYCHOLOGICAL abuse.
• Was substance abuse involved?
• What led up to the incidents?
• Did applicant call the police? If not, why not?
• If police were called, was abuser arrested? If not, why not?
• Did the applicant go to a doctor or hospital?
• Did applicant get a restraining order? If so, when?
• Did anyone witness the violence?
• Describe any sexual abuse.
• Describe any verbal abuse, including insults.
• Describe any abuse based on economic power.
• Describe any effect on children.
• Describe any threats by the abuser to turn the applicant into the USCIS or have them deported.

Section on good moral character
• Lack of problems with the law.
• Position in, contributions to community.
• Role in the positive development of the children.
• More extensive explanation of good moral character if needed to counterbalance any problems showing good moral character
