VAWA has been a disaster to Americans and a huge boon to immigrants.
I've done dozens of divorces with an underline by VAWA. An American man marries a foreign woman. She alleges abuse. Nothing has to be proved, just alleged. Now she becomes self-petitioning and no longer needs an American spouse. Not only that, but under VAWA she is entitled to emotional and moral support for her entire family so she can bring them all over there (at her husband's expense) and become the petitioner for their immigration too. However it started out, it has become just one more big scam.
VAWA act has what exactly to do against these kinds of divorces, which are essentially civil matters, and that type of gaming the system went on long before 1995.
Women could not become self-petitioning nor could they be a sponsor for a relative. That's the change. At one time, lose an American spouse and it's a quick trip to deportation. We still deport widows if they lose a huband before the process is complete. Now they can bring their entire family here. They don't need an American spouse or an American friend. Just an allegation that they are the victim of abuse. Since these women are "poor" the cost of bringing the family here is borne by the working American spouse.
For Americans who are suckered in, it has been a complete disaster, total.
What kills your claim is the fact that domestic abuse has gone down 53% since the law was passed. That means that less people are victimized. If one were to believe your undocumented claim, the number of reported crimes would have gone up.
Perhaps you can show the code in the VAWA where you can support your claim.
