Get A VAWA Attorney If You Have Been Beaten By Your Husband

1. Get A VAWA Attorney If You Have Been Beaten By Your Husband A VAWA Attorney can help you if you have been beaten by your husband. However, there are certain requirements and the VAWA Attorney can explain those requirements to you. First you must be married to a U.S Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident. If you are not married explains the VAWA Attorney, then there might be other options, but not VAWA. Next, you must have resided with your abusive husband and the abuse must have occurred in the U.S. Next, explains the VAWA Attorney, you must be able to show that the marriage was bona-fide in the first place and not done for the sole purpose of convenience or to get the Green Card. The VAWA Attorney explains that many people will ask him if there must be more than 1 session of physical abuse; more than 1 beating; more than 1 punch in the face. On the contrary explains the VAWA Attorney, there does not need to be multiple incidents. One can get a VAWA application granted after one beating or session of physical abuse. Can you imagine, states the VAWA Attorney, if the law stated that you must be beaten more than once to apply. That would be an outrage to victims of domestic violence and probably lead to mass demonstrations and marches everywhere claiming that a beating is a beating and that VAWA should not distinguish one from the other. A VAWA Attorney can prepare the necessary paperwork, legal brief, exhibits, declaration and supporting evidence. In fact, a VAWA Attorney can probably recommend a psychologist to you in order to get a supporting psychological report that you have suffered mentally because of the abuse (which is also a requirement of the VAWA petition.) Thus, be sure if you have been a victim of abuse by your husband that you have a VAWA Attorney properly file the VAWA petition and argue you are eligible.
