VAWA Self-Petitions
Holding an Adjustment in Abeyance
My client’s abuser is a U.S. Citizen who has filed a family petition (Form I-130) and adjustment of status (I-485) for my client. Her interview is approaching. I believe she is VAWA eligible. What should she do?
Family Member Derivatives and Adjustment
If the VAWA self-petitioner is not eligible to adjust based on the VAWA I-360 self-petition, can someone who obtained deferred action as a derivative family member of the VAWA self-petitioner still adjust under the VAWA self-petition if eligible?
Employment Authorization
If I am filing an I-360 VAWA self-petition for my client, when should I file a request for employment authorization?
