This video describes different types of U.S. immigration relief available to immigrants who are victims of domestic violence from spouses, parents, children, or others. Some relief is available even if you entered the U.S. illegally. Relief covered includes options under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) (e.g., self-petitioning for a green card, removing conditions on a 2-year green card, or a green card from an immigration judge), U Visas, and T visas.
