Q: Is there any way that I can bring up abuse In the court if I didn't report it? I have pictures of my bruises.
I'm married to a permanent resident I'm here using my visitors visa and my spouse keeps hitting me. Is it possible to get my green card even if we divorce?
A:
The answers are yes you can report him, in at least three different ways, and; as the law says now, you may still obtain permanent residency. You may file a complaint against him to do pleas as the law says now, you may still obtain permanent residency. You (or better your lawyer) may file a complaint against him to the police, directly to the DA Office or to The Family Court in the form of "Family Offense Petition". Based on the very limited facts I have i recommend the third option.
Please feel free to contact our office at +1 (914) 912-1555 or my cell at +1 (914) 364-6327 and I'll be happy to give you some free advice; if we decide you want to go forward with filing complaints against him and moving for your change of service our firm does a number of both of those types of cases at very low rates.
Good luck
