Q: I'm 20 years old, My mother is a citizen and I have a green card, can she tell the government to cancel my green card?
My mother is always threatening me that she'll tell immigration to cancel my green card and stop me from potentially becoming a citizen, she's always threatening me that she's gonna send me back to Africa, and make me stay there for over the time the green card allows so I will lose my permanent resident status. I just want to know who controls my status, since I'll be 21 in a few months, will she still be in charge of my immigration status? Also let's say I leave my home and get an apartment somewhere else but still in the U.S. And I tell USCIS will that affect my status in the U.S. And I tell USCIS will that affect my status? Thank you
A: You mother is abusing you. You should seek out the help of an organization that can help you file a VAWA, such as Catholic Social Services. Here is a list of organizations in Texas: https://www.immigrationadvocates.org/nonprofit/legaldirectory/search?state=TX
