Battered Spouses and Children

Abusive spouses and parents often threaten their victims with deportation or reporting them to immigration officials in order to assert control. Under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 1994, spouses, children, or parents who have been subjected to extreme cruelty or battery have the opportunity to obtain permanent residency through a self -petition, independent of the abusive U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident spouse or parent.

Please know that even if the victim entered the country illegally without a visa, under VAWA, qualifying victims are usually still able to self-petition and remain in the U.S. until they receive a permanent residency card. We have helped many, many victims of domestic abuse who for many years endured extreme cruelties and violence because they didn’t think there was anything else they could do about it. Don’t let this be you.

"We owe so much to Mr. Bracken and his staff. For many years my family and I had been looking for a good and honest immigration lawyer to represent us. We were unsuccessful for a long time. Thank God we found him".
Mr. Bracken and His staff are not only very professional and friendly but also very concerned for the well-being of their clients. they were there through every step. I got my residency and then citizenship, and right after I was able to file and get my parent's residency approved. Mr. Bracken took care of everything and simplified everything to the max. We will forever be thankful to him and his staff. Our lives have completely changed and we will never forget it. Thank you Mr. Bracken! Thank God for putting you in our path :)!"

"Mr. Bracken and his staff are wonderful in every way. I would highly recommend Mr. Bracken for all your immigration needs. This firm is professional, compassionate, honest, and will be up-front with you every step of the way with what to expect with your case. After 8 years of trying with other attorneys who basically took our money, with Mr. Bracken's help, my husband is now a resident and our lives will never be the same. We are so grateful for everything they all did to help my husband achieve our dream. Our case worker, Maria was fantastic! I would be more than happy to share our experience in more detail. I can be reached at (951)662-4435".
