Legal Question in Family Law in

My NRI husband sent me back to India and now he is not providing supporting documents for my H4 visa. Also he has cheated me, he has already having affairs with some Indian and American girls. He threatened me, beaten me, harassed me when I was in USA.I was there in Indiana,USA just for 5 months. And now 4 and half months have been passed here in India, I am living with my parents. He and his parents are not contacting me and trying to avoid me. Please let me know if he does not provide me the docs within next month, how can I take strict action against him. Should I file 498 case against him and his family from here in India or should I go on tourist visa to USA and then take action against him with USA police and any India Organisation who helps women ? Please guide me in right direction.

Thank You.

You have both the options available and may be exercised simultaneously. Once in USA, you may also apply for a green card under recently introduced U category if you could prove to be a victim of domestic violence.
