Hello.
I am sorry to hear about the situation. It appears your friend may be eligible to stay in the US if she qualifies for a U visa, based on her being a victim of violence.
She would need to get an advocacy group or law enforcement agency to sign off on the application and if approved by USCIS she will be allowed to stay.
Given the sensitive nature of this case please call for a free confidential consultation to determine if she would qualify for the U visa.
