FAQ
Common questions about VAWA
Will the abuser find out?
No. A VAWA self-petition is filed without the abuser's knowledge or involvement, and the law provides confidentiality protections.
Do I need a police report?
Not necessarily. Abuse can be shown through different types of evidence, which we review with you.
Who may qualify?
Spouses (including former spouses in some cases), children and parents of U.S. citizens, and spouses and children of permanent residents, who suffered abuse.
Every case is unique. Talk to our team.
