Protect your rights and integrity. Achieve the fresh start you need.

When your citizenship status is dependent on an abusive or dangerous spouse, you do have rights and can protect yourself under U.S. immigration law. Green cards for abused spouses are derived from the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and protect individuals who are married to or have a common law marriage with an abusive spouse or partner. When you suffer from physical or psychological abuse, you may be able to apply and obtain a green card on your own.

Know your rights and protect your citizenship status:

• You can apply as a self-petitioner to get a green card for yourself
• You can also apply to get a green card for your children
• You have the right to defend yourself against both physical and psychological abuse
• The law is on your side: the government will protect you from an abuser and may stop deportation and removal proceedings
• You do not need the assistance of an abuser to maintain your status
• Depending on where the abuse occurred, you may have a right to apply for asylum
