Canceling Removal Proceedings for domestic abuse victims
This category concerns options for a spouse or child of a US citizen or a US Legal Permanent Resident (green-card holder) -- to end the removal proceedings against them. This involves protections under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), that allow the spouse or child who is currently in removal proceedings before an immigration judge, to stop these proceedings and to begin an application for legal permanent residency (green card).
