decided to file VAWA
Fellow migrants, it has finally happened. I left my marriage after months of unending emotional abuse, and was recently taken in by an organization that supports survivors of domestic abuse.
I have been embarrassed to file my VAWA case, as everyone advices that I put up with the abuse from my wife. She has used her power as my petitioner to belittle my achievements and I put up with it because of love. Before the marriage, she was a very kind and loving person, but afterwards she flipped on me.
Now, after seeking therapy, it occurs that I was indeed in an abusive environment, and that explains a lot of how anxiety was my daily reality. I walked on eggshells for months. I can’t continue to tolerate abuse and disrespect: including physical assault, emotional abuse, financial abuse, and psychological distress. eventually I have been living on the streets of NYC homeless and without anything to my name (my wife there my stuff away saying I was a poor man). sadly I was out of work because of the application and before that I was a grad school student for 3 years.
About a month ago, I finally got my EAD. but I have been depressed and without a way to properly apply for jobs. I felt my wife unleashed cruelty towards me, including having affairs and saying that I can’t take her out to fancy places like the other men do. Again I was waiting for my work permit for months and I was depressed about it myself.
Now I made a decision to self petition and can’t afford a lawyer. Do you all think I got a chance if I file alone? I am male in his early 30s. I can’t afford to leave the US and begin a fresh that’s why I want to fight for justice.
Next quarter visa bulletin theory
Next month Jan 2024 visa bulletin will be a good indication of quartly optimization vs AP/TP on counslar process for unskilled, or huge visa backlog.
Visa bulletin should meter not only yearly visa usage but also quartly limit. If this backlog is only to meter visa allocation for those are right after final action date, we should see 3-4 month progress. Otherwise huge AP/TP pending cases in certain country, possibly PD between 2015-2019 are using all the visa bulletin for this year. In that case we will not see any progress or even very little progress. Shall we test the theory?
