medical documentation during and after marriage six years all medical mental and physical. but I think ppl think a psychological
evaluation are enough without authentic evidence would cause speculation. if you want ease of mind gather evidence from during the relationship not just after

@E S I see, my thing is I didn’t seek help during my marriage bc of the threats and harassment from my husband, I was only able to seek help after he abandoned me and I was diagnosed with ptsd from my psychologist but it was only after and not during my marriage.

I got help for the mental and emotional stuff after my marriage. like a month after I asked him to leave our house. I was in therapy continuously for 4 years with medication for an anxiety disorder. that was well documented and I sent that along with my initial evaluation and final evaluation. but there was physical abuse and I had X-rays and doctor’s visits notes and treatment records from that as well so maybe that’s what helped.

@E S yes the psychologist told me to seek therapy not necessarily for my case but for my own well being but it’s just very expensive but thank you!

during the marriage I didn’t even realized I was being abused only after when I was suicidal and had to seek help the abuse became clear. mine was solely psychological evaluation from a professional. hopefully uscis understands situations like that. my case is still pending

@vawa applicant did you have affidavits as well? my main worry is just with the current administration 😭I pray it works out for all of us going through this
