Hi guys! God bless both the writer and the reader!
I recently returned home through JFK Airport after being away for three weeks. As usual, I was taken to secondary inspection, but this time was different. The officer informed me that “you applied through VAWA.” I replied yes, and then he began asking me questions about my ex-husband, such as where we met, how long we were married, when we divorced, and if I was officially divorced. He also asked about the type of abuse I endured during the relationship. I was advised not to go into specifics but to categorize it as physical, psychological, etc.
I felt overwhelmed because I had never experienced this kind of encounter before. In the past, I had been asked about my job and the purpose of my travel, but this time was different. While I was waiting, I overheard another officer asking a fellow VAWA applicant about specific dates, such as the date of birth of their partner, date of separation, the name and location of the lawyer assisting with the VAWA application, asked how he afford and who advice him to apply for vawa, and even issued a reminder to another traveler to carry her marriage certificate.
I was terrified, especially since it was 3 a.m., and I was already in the waiting area for an hour. I kept thinking about the possibility of making a mistake due to fatigue, or worse, what if my case was decided while I was traveling and I couldn’t see my loved ones? I don’t mean to scare anyone, but it’s important to be prepared to answer any questions.
Fortunately, I was only asked basic questions that every partner should know. I can't imagine how the other person, who was asked countless questions about their relationship, managed to stand there and answer everything. Some officers are calm and respectful, while others can be quite rude. Thankfully, the officer who interviewed me was respectful and calm, which made a difference in my experience.
So my recommendation is to be prepared if you plan to travel. God bless you!
