Are you the spouse of a US Citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident or the parent of a US Citizen over the age of 20 and have been told "NO" in the past? Maybe VAWA is for you! In today's episode, we go deep into the Violence Against Women Act, better known as VAWA, but don't be scared by the "violence" word, please listen carefully to the examples given in this episode that are far from physical or violent. The best of VAWA self-petitioning is that it allows close relatives of US citizens and lawful permanent residents to file for status on their own AND WITHOUT LEAVING. You really don't want to miss January's VAWA episodes!
