Why Is VAWA a Safe and Reliable Option?

If you have suffered abuse from your partner, a family member, or someone in a position of power who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, we want you to know that VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) is a strong and reliable legal tool to protect you and help you obtain legal status.

Can VAWA Change with the Government?

Many people worry about whether this law could disappear with a change in government. The answer is NO. Unlike other immigration programs that depend on administrative decisions, VAWA is a well-established federal law. This means it is not subject to sudden changes or temporary political decisions.

This law was created with a clear purpose: to protect individuals who have suffered abuse, regardless of their immigration status. It remains active and available for those who qualify.

Why Is VAWA a Good Option for Adjusting Your Immigration Status?

VAWA not only protects you but also gives you the opportunity to obtain legal documents in the U.S.:

• You can self-petition: You do not need the help or permission of your abuser to apply for VAWA.
• It is a path to permanent residency: If you qualify, you can obtain legal status, a work permit, and eventually a Green Card.
• It is a confidential process: Your abuser will not be notified and will not be involved in the process.
• It offers long-term protection: It does not depend on political decisions but on solid legislation that remains in effect.
