Good day Mrs. Walker-Huntington:
If a person is currently married to a citizen of the US but the couple has separated because one partner is abusive, what is the best way of moving forward with the processing of papers? This had already started and they sent a letter requesting evidence that both persons live together. They don’t.
The other person does not want to cooperate to assist. There is proof of the abuse as the wife had attempted to get the husband deported. They went to court and proof of the abuse was shown to the judge, but he dismissed the wife's request. I am waiting on the 10-year papers.
