The information provided on VAWA.org is for general informational purposes only. By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the following disclaimer.
Not a Law Firm
VAWA.org is operated by Protecting Civil Rights, Inc. (PCR), a nonprofit organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Legal Access Programs. PCR is not a law firm, and our representatives are DOJ-accredited representatives, not attorneys. Under this recognition, PCR and its accredited representatives are authorized to provide immigration legal services and to represent clients before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
The general information on this website does not constitute legal advice, and no client relationship is created by visiting this website or communicating with our team. Advice specific to your situation is provided only after you formally become a client of PCR.
If a matter falls outside the scope of our authorization or otherwise requires a licensed attorney, we will refer you to one. Some attorneys in our referral network provide free or reduced-fee services to VAWA petitioners.
Not Affiliated with USCIS or the Government
Protecting Civil Rights, Inc. and VAWA.org are private, nonprofit entities. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any way connected to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), or any other government agency.
References to USCIS forms, procedures, and regulations on this website are for informational purposes only.
Accuracy of Information
We make every effort to provide accurate, up-to-date information about VAWA, immigration law, and available resources. However, immigration law is complex and changes frequently. The information on this website may not reflect the most recent legal developments, court decisions, or agency policy updates.
Always verify important legal information with a licensed attorney or directly with USCIS before taking action.
Individual Results May Vary
Every immigration case is different. The outcome of your VAWA petition depends on the specific facts of your case, the evidence you submit, and the current interpretation of the law by USCIS adjudicators. Results achieved in past cases do not guarantee the same result in your case.
Third-Party Resources
This website may contain links to third-party websites, hotlines, and resources. We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any external resources. Links are provided solely for your convenience.
Emergency Situations
If you are in immediate physical danger, call 911. This website and our team are not equipped to respond to immediate safety emergencies. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) has trained crisis advocates available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
