Our client, a citizen of Mexico, entered the United States without inspection and married a U.S. citizen. She had 2 children with her spouse. Our client’s spouse, however, was extremely abusive to our client, both physically and emotionally. He threatened her that if she told anybody about the abuse, he would have her deported. Attorney Furqan completed a special immigrant petition for her under the Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA). The VAWA petition was approved, and client became a Lawful Permanent Resident.
