Divorce after VAWA Green card
Do I have to stay married to my abuser to file for citizenship in 3 years or divorce him and file in 5 years?

VAWA green card holders can file for citizenship after 3 years. Your path isn’t tied to your abuser anymore.

@survivor p I was hoping to work on the marriage until we can't work things out. Nothing is weird
