About VAWA – Violence Against Women Act
If you are located in the Charlotte NC area and are a a battered spouse, child or parent, you may file an immigrant visa petition under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended by the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
The VAWA provisions in the INA allow certain spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents (Green Card holders) to file a petition for themselves, without the abuser’s knowledge. This allows victims to seek both safety and independence from their abuser, who is not notified about the filing.
Contact our Charlotte immigration law office at (704) 644-7065 to schedule a consultation so that we may determine if you qualify for an immigration benefit under VAWA.
