getting back together
My husband was abusive, and the police were called three times. I got a restraining order for a year then I changed it to a peaceful retraining order . I have pictures and evidence! After a year, he wanted to get back together, but I didn’t trust him. He’s now seeing a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which explains his anger issues. He’s on medication, stopped drinking, and is really trying to be better. I want to try again, but I’m scared of setbacks. I’m don’t want to withdraw my VAWA because I did experience domestic violence, but I don’t want USCIS to think it’s fraud. We’re going to counseling and taking things slowly. My lawyer said they might see it as fraud and to withdraw my application because it’s for people who want to leave their abusive husband. and I’m finding the easy way to get papers :/

please don't redraw your VAWA, you can keep trying with your husband but it's better to sort your paperwork out yourself with immigration. Because you get back with him doesn't mean your marriage it's fraud, it's contrary - shows it's bonafide. Don't listen to your lawyer, VAWA is not an easy way out- it's tedious and draining - 3-5yrs is no joke. I saw a marriage green card processed in 2 months. VAWA applicants don't get that. I had a lawyer tell me your marriage was too short and try to invalidate my pain and experience but I'm glad I marshalled on and received an approval. Good luck. Don't let the devil decieve you, green apples will nither become red overnight nor morph into oranges.

I agree, don’t withdraw. the vawa gives you hope because you already know what’s your husband issues and that’s something that those who suffer that cannot control it. Good Luck and stick in there
