Immigration delimma?

Question

My husband and i have been married for 9 months and have an 8month old. Our marriage was motitaved by my pregnancy and we now fight on daily basis because he feels trapped and wasnt ready for the marriage thing.

He ignores our son and says he never wanted him in the first place and verbally/emotionallt abuses me everyday and is always able to turn things around to make me feel guilty (saying im rude and dont listen).

The problem is he sponsored my temporary green card and i feel stuck with him for the next two years until i get the permanent card. He tries to make me look bad to people and called the police on me three weeks ago when i threw an empty bottle at him because he was saying hurtful things. Today i called the police on him because he locked me and our son out of the house for the second time (Mind you i pay my half of the rent and utilities). When the cops came he acted innocent and again tried to make me look crazy to them and laughed about after they left.

I could go on and on about this, but this is the basic story. What would you do? I know most you wont have any symphathy because i'm immigrant but any advice would be appreciate.

We've seen a counselor twice and we have 8 more sessions but he admits to me that he lies at the therapist office, so how is healing possible.

Answer 1

set up a hidden cam so u can prove the abuse going on and read the following link in sources about WAVA which is suppose to protect u if any kind of abuse is going on . u would not need him to be able to stay in the USA if u qualify ... the link is from an immigration lawyer but there is organizations which can actually help u and are pro-bono , make an Internet search and find a local organization such a catholic charities which help immigrants in those situation ...

Answer 2

If you are being abused by your spouse then you can still get a permanent green card even if the marriage has broken down.

Read the below website - and do what it says.

You and your child's safety comes first.  

Answer 3

You need to document this "abuse"! Talk to a good lawyer regarding your need to file for a Divorce to "escape" an abusive relationship (one of the "valid" reasons for divorce that will allow you to still stay here).

Good  Luck

From experience I can tell you that emotional abuse usually turns physical and you need to think about that baby. call a domestic abuse hotline...every city has one and they can direct you.  You have to put that baby's safety first over you. They will help you deal with the legality of being legal and all once you get out of the situation. Call them and talk to them.. # should be in book or research it online under domestic violence hotline..there should be a national number and they will tell you who to contact.
