Supportive Legal Guidance for VAWA Immigration Matters
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides important immigration protections for individuals who have experienced abuse by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member. For many survivors, VAWA offers a way to move forward independently, without fear, retaliation, or continued control by an abusive relative. Melody Busey provides compassionate legal guidance to clients in Charlotte and across North Carolina who are seeking relief under VAWA.
Pursuing a VAWA self-petition can be emotionally challenging, particularly for individuals who have endured long periods of fear, isolation, or manipulation. Melody understands the sensitive nature of these cases and works to create a supportive and respectful environment where clients feel heard and protected. Every case is handled with care, discretion, and a focus on the client’s safety and long-term stability.

How the VAWA Self-Petition Process Works
VAWA allows eligible individuals to apply for immigration benefits on their own, without relying on the abusive family member. This option may be available to spouses, children, and parents who have suffered battery or extreme cruelty at the hands of a qualifying relative. A VAWA self-petition can lead to work authorization, deferred action, and, in many cases, lawful permanent residence.
The process involves more than simply filing forms. USCIS requires detailed evidence demonstrating the relationship, the abuse, and the applicant’s good moral character. Melody Busey works closely with each client to prepare a thorough and well-documented petition, including personal statements, supporting affidavits, and other relevant records. She takes the time to explain each step of the process, helping clients understand what to expect and how their case will move forward.
Because every situation is different, B&G Law Group, PLLC
approaches each VAWA case individually, ensuring that filings accurately reflect the client’s experiences while meeting all legal requirements. Careful preparation is essential to avoid delays and unnecessary requests for additional evidence.
