Understanding VAWA Protection and Your Rights

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides an invaluable opportunity for individuals who have endured various forms of abuse at the hands of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or adult child. VAWA empowers survivors to file for immigration status on their own terms—without the need for the abuser’s involvement, approval, or even awareness of the action being taken. This crucial independence is a lifeline for many victims, as abusers often exploit immigration status as a weapon for control, manipulation, or intimidation, making it exceptionally difficult for individuals to escape their circumstances.


Through the process of a VAWA self-petition, survivors are not only able to seek protection but can also attain the stability they desperately need, paving the way toward lawful permanent residence while liberating themselves from dangerous and unhealthy living situations. It is important to note that abuse does not solely manifest as physical violence; emotional, psychological, financial, and sexual abuse all qualify under this protective measure.


Attorney Rachelle R. Grand-Pierre, Esq. is dedicated to taking the time to thoroughly explain your rights under VAWA and provides personalized guidance, helping you to understand whether this vital form of relief may be accessible to you or your children.
