Question About Violence Against Women Act Petition and Derivative Children Approval
If a woman recently filed her VAWA petition and included her unmarried children under the age of 21, who are currently living in Nigeria from her previous marriage in Nigeria, from which she is now divorced, would including them affect how long it takes for her VAWA case to be approved? Approximately how many years should she expect to wait for a decision? Also, if her VAWA petition is approved, will her children’s cases be automatically approved as derivative beneficiaries, even though they are outside the United States?
