Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Do you have an attorney helping you with your VAWA self-petition?

If you are out of status/illegaly in the country, yes, you can be placed in removal proceedings.

However, VAWA Unit at the VCS usually doesn't refer denied cases to ICE for deportation.

Otherwise, if you are out of status or illegally in the country, yes, you can be placed in removal proceedings. This office has experience working with various VAWA cases.
