VAWA Self-Petitions (Violence Against Women Act)
The Coleman Law Group aids the survivors of abuse with 100% confidential VAWA petitions. With the help of our experienced VAWA self petition lawyers, you can now access legal guidance, independence, and most importantly, lawful immigration status.
What Is a VAWA Self Petition
The Violence Against Women Act, also known as VAWA, is a form of self-petition that allows a member of a U.S. resident’s household to file a complaint if they have been abused at their home. This complaint can be made without the involvement of the said family member at all levels. The victim is allowed to apply for lawful immigration status without having to worry about relying on their abuser to fund them. The first thing that the survivor would need is to fill out Form I-360 VAWA so they can request work authorization and finally, permanent residence by law on their own. Everyone has the right to apply for VAWA, both men and women.
Getting the courage to stand up against your abuser is a huge step in itself, and we at the Coleman Law Group understand how overwhelming the whole process can be. But to guarantee your ultimate freedom, we have a team of the best VAWA self-petition lawyers that not only will guide you through every step but will also make sure that you have a strong and unshakeable case ready in your defense. We make sure that, from gathering the evidence of abuse to correctly filling out the petition, your case is handled with confidentiality and compassion to ensure your mental and physical well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start the VAWA self-petition process?
For you to begin a VAWA self-petition, you need to first file Form I-360 along with necessary documents such as proof of your relationship with the abuser, evidence of the incidence, and proof of your living with your abuser. The best way to combine all of this and apply is by contacting a VAWA lawyer so that your petition is prepared with ease and is applied with confidentiality in an organized manner.
How long does it take to process a VAWA self-petition?
Processing times for VAWA self-petitions can generally range from 16 to 24 months, depending on USCIS workload and case complexity. Some applicants may receive faster judgments if they also apply for work permission.
How can I prove extreme cruelty for a VAWA self-petition?
You will need documents such as medical reports, police complaints, restraining orders, photographs, and witness statements, if possible, or personal affidavits describing how the abuse happened to make a strong case.
How and where can I check the status of my VAWA self petition?
You can easily check your VAWA case status on the USCIS website with the help of your receipt number.
Does the VAWA petition involve an interview during the process?
Usually, the USCIS does not interview the I-360 petitioner, but if you apply for a green card later in the process, an interview might be conducted.
Is there a way to speed up a VAWA case?
VAWA cases mostly follow the standard timeline, and it is a bit complicated to request escalation. A VAWA case can be put on the fast track if you are a victim of ongoing abuse and need to escape immediate danger. While the best possible way is to provide the correct documentation on time to make sure there are no delays, you can also ask your legal representative/humanitarian lawyer to request an escalation in court.
How long does VAWA immigration take?
The whole process of VAWA immigration, which includes the work permit and the green card, can take somewhere close to 2 to 3 years. It mainly depends on your case type and the USCIS processing time.
