VAWA Status Expired?

Your VAWA immigration status expired, but there might still be hope! Here's what you need to know:

  • Can You Renew? Renewal depends on meeting eligibility criteria (proof of abuse by a citizen/resident spouse/parent or child).

  • Late Renewal: While best to renew on time, USCIS may accept late applications with a valid reason and supporting evidence.

  • Expired Status Impact: It can affect work authorization, public benefits, and travel. Renewing promptly is crucial.

  • Talk to an Immigration Attorney! They can assess your situation, guide you, and help prepare your application.

  • Gather Proof: Prepare evidence of abuse, your relationship, and anything else relevant to your eligibility.

  • Follow USCIS Rules: Carefully follow their filing deadlines, forms, and required documents.

Remember: Early renewal is best, but late applications might be considered. Consult an immigration attorney for personalized advice.
