Case Studies

This was a sad case — with a happy ending. N moved to the US after receiving a K-1 visa and married a US citizen. He turned out to be an alcoholic and mistreated her terribly. The situation became so bad that she could not stay with him anymore and left the US, before receiving her green card. She contacted our firm and we told her about a special law for such situations — Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The Act allows victims of abuse to apply for green cards — without the sponsorship or support of their US spouses. We gathered evidence of the abuse she had been subjected to, and within 7 months she received an immigrant visa and moved to the US with an unconditional green card.
