Answer 1

There are plenty of women's affairs agencies and many lawyers will do pro-bono work in cases such as yours. You should find a councelor at a women's shelter or a church (if you attend one) and get this done ASAP. they should not be able to deport you if your shildren are citizens and are under age. DIVORCE the SOB and leave! You'll get your papers without him much faster!

Answer 2

You're out of status but you can stay because of your children.. go find a lawyer

Answer 3

why don't you try and go to a shelter for abused women and see if they can help you there. i assume the could help you find a way to stay here since this is where you children are. and for futeure reference always make duplicate copies for yourself so you will always have your documents

Answer 4

With even as little as you've told, your situation is far too complicated to address here.  If it is appropriate, you may wish to contact a Catholic Relief Services office near you, or search for immigration advocates on the Internet.
