Can your spouse use your immigration status to control, threaten, or intimidate you?
Threats of deportation, withholding immigration paperwork, and financial or emotional control can leave survivors feeling trapped in an abusive relationship, afraid that seeking help could put their future in the United States at risk.
But you may have legal options.
Join Attorney Conti Moore and Attorney Frank Symphorien-Saavedra for our next FREE Family & Immigration Law Info Session:
When Immigration Status Becomes a Tool of Abuse: Understanding VAWA, U Visas & Survivor Protections
We'll discuss important questions, including:
• Can you seek immigration protection if your spouse uses your status to control you?
• What if your spouse never filed your immigration papers as promised?
• Can emotional or financial abuse qualify for immigration relief?
• Are you able to seek a restraining order if you're undocumented?
• Could reporting domestic violence affect your immigration status?
• What evidence may help support a VAWA or U visa application?
If you or someone you know feels caught between personal safety and immigration concerns, this conversation can help you better understand potential legal protections and where to seek support.
