A: For your safety please see a reputable immigration attorney immediately and don’t post on a public forum anymore. If you can’t afford a private attorney you can potentially get help from pro bono organizations that assist immigrants going through abuse.

A: No, your husband is not allowed to deport you or your daughter. As a lawful permanent resident (LPR) and the spouse of a U.S. citizen, you have certain rights and protections under U.S. immigration law.

If your husband is threatening to cancel your adjustment of status process or deport you, this is a serious issue that you should report to the appropriate authorities. You may wish to consult with an immigration attorney or a domestic violence advocate who can help you understand your options and provide support.

In addition, if you are experiencing emotional and sexual abuse, it is important that you seek help and support. You may wish to contact a domestic violence hotline or shelter for assistance.

It is also important to note that as an LPR, you have the right to live and work in the United States, regardless of whether you are married to a U.S. citizen. If you are divorced, you may still be eligible for certain immigration benefits, depending on the circumstances.

Overall, it is important to seek legal and emotional support as you navigate this difficult situation.
