Has anyone else been a victim of Immigration Fraud and VAWA laws?

Yes. The system is designed to not only pave the way for immigrant women to scam for a green card, but also destroy the male us citizen spouse. I fellinto this and it destroyed me. The worst part is that politicians know all about this and do nothing. I have proof (court transcripts, statements to DA/police, other verifiable docs) that my ex planned it all, lied under oath, conspired with others. The DA and police even HELPED her falsify documents.
A note to anyone out there that does not believe that a man can be tossed in jail and have his life destroyed just on the word of someone with motivation to lie...think again. Welcome to the life of anyone scammed by a VAWA savvy immigrant.
If you are trying to find others that have gotten scammed so we can try and convince politicians to open their eyes, sign me up. I may as well help you, it's not like I have a career or life dreams to distract me anymore.

I was helping Martha so much. After her divorce I offered her my house. She and her 3 sons lived in my house for three years. I helped her with so many things: house, car, driver's license, doctors, surgeries, money.
She told me she wanted to be my wife. I agreed to marry her so she can be legal in this country. I was then that trouble started.
There is a law in this country called Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Under this law a woman can simply claim that she is a domestic violence victim and she gets all the help she needs: Housing, Legal, Psychological, Medical, Employment and Immigration papers to stay in this country…
She contacted a VAWA agent, Laura Mora of the International Woman's House, and claimed there was verbal violence. After being in the shelter for a couple of weeks she signed a petition for a Temporary Protective Order that was full of lies.
When I met Martha in October 2005 she was a Domestic Violence Victim and I wanted to help. I never imagined she would end up accusing me of the same. I offered her and her 3 sons to stay in my house.
In august 2008 she asked (begged) me to marry her because she was out of legal status in the US and wanted to become legal and needed to see her son in Mexico. Again I wanted to help and I agreed. On Aug. 27 - 2008 Martha and I got married.
Immediately after we got married her behavior changed dramatically. It became clear to me that something was totally wrong with our marriage. Martha threatened me to "leave me a present" meaning "send me to jail". I thought she was under a lot of stress and again I felt pity. On Oct. 5 - 2008 I filed for immigration for her and on Nov. 9 - 2008 for her 2 children.
Martha had managed to create a deep conflict between her 2 children and their own father and now she was working on doing the same between her 2 children and me. Her children's behavior was becoming more and more unhealthy. When I discussed her sons' situation with her she lost her temper, and later she would turn that into Emotional Violence in order to gain Immigration Benefits. On November 27 she told her son, Raul to cut off the TV cables which he did in 4 places.
As I realized the situation was becoming very unhealthy I asked her to look for another place to stay. On November 29 Martha went to the police which escorted her and her children back to our residence. On Sunday Nov. 30 2008 Martha informed me that she intends to stay married only for the purpose of gaining Immigration Benefits. On Monday Dec. 1 2008 - for the above reason - I filed the Divorce Petition.
Martha immediately began to look for ways to retaliate against me. She contacted Laura Mora of the International Woman's House, She joined the Domestic Violence Program - VAWA claiming there was "Emotional Violence" against her children.
On Dec. 19 2008 Martha and her children left our residence and moved to a Dekalb County Domestic Violence Women's Shelter (the International Woman's House). Martha left to the shelter using my 2007 SUV that I lent her.
On Dec. 31 2008 I came to Martha's sister's house to wish them a Happy New Year and to pick up my 2007 SUV. When I was driving the vehicle away Martha and her two sons ran out in front of the vehicle in an attempt to forcefully stop the running vehicle thus endangering their on lives and mine.
On Jan. 8 2009 Martha filed a petition for a Temporary Protective Order with Cobb County GA Superior Court - FALSELY accusing me for domestic violence against her and her children. On Jan. 13 2009 when appearing in front of the judge Martha committed Purgery for the first time.
On Jan. 23 2009 the Temporary Protective Order - was dismissed by Cobb County GA Superior Court judge - finding Martha's accusations to be FALSE. At the court session Martha committed Purgery for the second time.
While giving her testimony Martha referred to events that allegedly took place on a trip to Orlando , FL in June 2008, proving that when she asked me to marry her in August 2008 her intentions were dishonest.
On Jan. 29 2009 the FINAL DECREE of Divorce was granted - by Cobb County GA Superior Court judge.

How is VAWA funded?
Please be more specific. As far as lobbyists, they're funded by feminist groups and by the legal community. The application of VAWA laws is funded by the federal government, sometimes providing funds to state and local government for any case falling under VAWA. Police, DAs, Prosecutors receive billions of dollars in federal funding each year to process VAWA claims, with no recourse whatsoever for illegitimate claims.

What should you do if your U.S. citizen husband is extorting money from you to remain married so that you can get your green card?
: If you are a victim of domestic violence or psychological abuse (extortion might qualify too), you likely do not need to remain married to your spouse or pay him/her to get your green card. You do have options, so talk to an immigration attorney. There are likely to be low-cost immigration legal services available somewhere in your area. Ask around and search online. : In the meantime, you can look up the instructions to these forms at www.uscis.gov ("immigration forms" tab) to get an idea of what might fit your situation: I-360 (to file for status as a VAWA petitioner) or I-751 (using a battered spouse waiver). USCIS allows fee waivers for some forms.
What is pro arrest?
Pro-Arrest is when a police officer determines that you are the primary aggressor in a domestic violence situation and takes you into custody. It is a provision of the Federal VAWA.
Can a man get custody of his children if he battered his wife but was never charged?
Under the VAWA, if accused of abuse, or physically defends himself, or the children, from abuse by the mother, he cannot get custody.
Mention any one provision of the protection of women from domestic violence?
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was the first major law to help government agencies and victim advocates work together to fight domestic violence, sexual assault, and other types of violence against women. The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) provides the main federal funding to help victims of domestic violence and their dependents (such as children). Programs funded through FVPSA provide shelter and related help
Domestic violence being so prevalent in Ga. how do you deal with the corruption in a court wanting to give your child to your convicted domestically violent ex husband because his grandpa has money?
Money cannot override federal law and the VAWA unless evidence has arisen that the allegations were false.
Can you use form i360 VAWA given that he was verbally abusive in the marriage?
Maybe, but it is against the law to make false accusations.. USCIS may investigate claims of abuse and they are looking for extreme creulty or battery. If they investigate, you may need to present physical evidence (pictures, recordings, hospital reports, etc) of abuse.
If a US citizen divorced a legal immigrant with a temporary visa will he still be able to obtain permanent residency?
It depends. 1. If you petitioned the foreign national as a K-1 fiance and you entered the marriage within 90 days of entry and in good faith, it shouldn't matter that you are divorced. 2. If you married the foreign national and then petitioned for him with an I-130, the adjustment will probably be denied at interview. 3. If you married the foreign national and divorced him before filing anything, he is likewise out of luck, unless you physically abused him or subjected him to extreme cruelty, in which case he might be eligible for relief under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which also protects men. 4. Depending on his immigration status and educational background, he may have another basis for adjustment to permanent residency (i.e. through an employer or as a self-petitioning extraordinary ability case, etc.). In any case, the foreign national should see an immigration attorney immediately.
Does California consider domestic violence in a child custody case?
"It's a consideration in all states under the VAWA, but it's also a commonly used tactic to prevent fathers getting custody, so any such claim has to be taken with a pound of salt. Even a male victim can be prevented from getting custody if he ver defended himself from an attack by a woman. " This is good input - but I feel I need to add to it. If you're a man in such a situation as the first answer describes, speak to a QUALIFIED "Divorce/Custody" Attorney YESTERDAY. I've been falsely accused - IF this is what happened to you, it stinks. OTOH, if you're actually a man who really abused his wife, think of your kids first. Drop the "custody" mess, and get yourself some help. Someday maybe your kids will need you - you need to be able to help them...
Can you break an apartment lease agreement if there is domestic violence involved in the household?
This will depend on one, whether or not you live in public housing (section 8/HUD) and two, what state you are in. If you live in public housing, VAWA allows you to break your lease without any penalties. If you are not in public housing, this will depend on your state. You may want to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline. They can direct you to an advocacy group in your state that can help you with the process and answer any questions.
