VAWA
Female/Male Victims of Violence – The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a federal law intended to protect individuals from domestic violence, sexual assault and other forms of violence. Under the VAWA, individuals may be able to obtain United States residency if they face either physical violence or emotional cruelty by their United States citizen or lawful permanent resident spouses, parents or sons and daughters.
