Eligibility Criteria
Must be a victim of battery or extreme cruelty by a U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse, parent, or child.
Process
1. File Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant.
2. Once approved, if you're in the U.S., you can file Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.
3. Attend a biometrics appointment and an interview.
4. Receive a green card upon approval.
