Hello All,
VAWA (Voilence against women act) 1994 for domestic voilence (DV) against women applicable for abusers who are Legal permanent residents and US citizens.
What happens if the abuser is a Non-immigrant visa holder (h1-b)?
Do the abuser's spouse have to tolerate it until the he/she get through with the GC (i-140 + i-485) etc.

What can the spouse do in the worst case scenario?

DV and abuse should be stopped against spouse of non-immigrant workers. Anybody with additional info, please respond.

Thank you.

Appreciate your response.
I went through the link provided by you and seems like 'U' has its own inherent problems such as;
- Only 10,000 visa per year.
- Applicant has to wait for 3 years before filing for i140/i485.
- Doesn't say how long U visa candidate can stay in the U.S.

Is it possible to continue with the already filed i485/i140 via the principal applicant (abuser) while on U visa?

Any thoughts.

Once again, appreciate all responses.

Regards,
On.
