Re: protection
Next time you are physically abused, call 911 and press charges.
Re: protection
You have not provided enough information so I can advise you. Under VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) batered spouse of an abuser husband is eligible for certain benefits. on the other hand, if your husband is getting papers through you..that process can be stopped as well.
Re: protection
Are you the spouse of a citizen or permanent resident? What is your immigration status in the country?
Under VAWA (Violence Against Women Act), you may have some options. I will more details so feel free to contact me by email or in Dallas at 214-526-6688. Good luck!
