QUESTION

Conditional residence and abusive spouse

Asked on Mar 01st, 2022 on Immigration - Georgia
More details to this question:
I got my conditional residence in February 2022. My husband got worse with drugs and has been to jail several times. I don't feel safe around him anymore. There's a pending domestic battery case. Could I remove conditions on my green card without applying with VAWA? I am scared to start my process all over again with VAWA if that's the case.

Yes, but you must demonstrate to the satisfaction of USCIS that it should accept your application sooner.  Normally, this is done by filing and securing a divorce order, but there may be other options best discussed at a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney.
