VAWA
VAWA allows an abused spouse or child of a United States Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident to self-petition for lawful status in the U.S., receive employment authorization and access health benefits. VAWA provides domestic violence survivors with the means that are essential to escaping violence and establishing safe, independent lives. ILRC has co-authored the VAWA Manual, a 14-chapter step -by-step guide to VAWA to assist advocates working on VAWA cases. Click on the VAWA link above for more information.
