I am a victim of domestic voilence, physically abused by my husband from last one year now i want divorce. I am not a US citizen

Contact a divorce attorney who is also familiar with the Violence Against Women Act, which may assist you in getting permanent status here. Do so quickly, as VAWA is set to expire, and given the gridlock in Washington, it may take a little time to get reauthorized and you don't want to be stuck in a limbo period. I'm going to add some things to your categorization to help you find an attorney on . I'm also giving you the Legal Aid number, I know they used to do VAWA cases, I don't know if they still do, or what the time frame is. 407-841-8310.

I agree with my colleague ... meet with an attorney to discuss VAWA. NOTE: If you are low income go here: www.justice.gov/eoir/probono/states.htm or http://www.immigrationlawhelp.org/

I agree with the other answers and would add that you should probably make sure that you report the abuse/violence to the police so there is a record of it. As a victim of domestic violence, you are eligible for a U visa or U Immigrant Status. To get the U visa I believe that you must cooperate in the prosecution of your abuser.

The first thing you need to ensure is that you are safe. If your husband abuses you, please call the police. Alternatively, consider going to a domestic violence shelter, such as Harbor House of Orlando. If you contact them, they can arrange pick up. http://www.harborhousefl.com/ Their phone number can be found at this site. Unfortunately, in order to protect the women who are residents there, their street address is unpublished. They can provide you with a safe place to stay, access to domestic violence counselors and even referrals for attorneys who can help. Depending on your husband's immigration status, you may be eligible for a green card through either a self-petition under the Violence Against Women Act or through U-Non-immigrant Status. Further details about your case will be necessary to determine which of those you might be eligible for. These cases are, however, very complex and document intensive, so you should consider consulting with an immigration attorney in your area before proceeding.

The answers from the attorneys that have already provided advice are very good. First and foremost to get yourself into a safe and secure situation. Notify the police and as early as possible begin working with a domestic relations and immigration attorney.
