She only filed once she knew her sponser was divorcing her. There has never been any abuse, there are even family court transcripts where she has testified there was no abuse. She is on a revoked I-130 Visa now and had never lived in the US prior to her fililing for the VAWA visa 3 months after she came to the US to fight for alimony and other money from the divorce. They were only married a little over a year. They had never lived together, not even when dating because he was a US servicemember stationed to base in the foreign country they met in. She was a phillipino "entertainer" for the GI's and he was a young, naive boy that had never been away from home-met her, got her pregnant and married her because of his family/religious values. Now she wants money and citizenship. She filed for the Violence Against Women's Act a month after her original visa was revoked.

Please address the question only.

Well, she will only be able to get this, if the divorce decree states that he has abused her or her children (if she has any) physically or verbally , and also if she has any police reports documented against him charging that he is abusive. If she does not have anything stated on the divorce decree or a police report then she will not obtain Permanent Resident status or (self apply).

Are they or are they not divorced?
Her original visa might not have been revoked, but expired. She cannot apply for citizenship until she has lived in the country for 3 years (if married to a serviceman). She can, however, while married, come over and obtain immediate permanent residency which will then allow her to file for citizenship. In order to apply for citizenship, she'll have to have a reasonably clean record. If she worked as a prostitute and it can be proven, she will not get citizenship. It's one requirement of the application.
She will not be entitled to receive alimony. Permanent alimony is only allowed in certain states and only if a person has been in a long-term marriage (15 years or more).
There should, however, be an order that requires him to pay child support. The child shouldn't suffer because both parents made bad choices.
Frankly, I don't think it's your place to get involved. Let the authorities and the parties involved deal with the issue. Maybe she was abused, maybe not. You weren't there.

** WoW ! Sounds like the girl next door. Who says, if you do the crime, you do the time. Not meaning to down anyone or say there was a crime, but anywhere, not just the states, but if you "entertain", could be paying for a long time. And, who was at fault?
Neither, or both? Money does make you walk/talk. . . . speaks for it's self.

You can find a special link on INS website to report such a situation. They will take care about the rest ( but you have to have some kind of proof)

you could possibly try to contact them, and notify them of potential fraud.... I am not sure how (check out the USCIS website).... but if she can't prove her marriage is valid or that he abused her.... they really should not give her residency....I hope it works out.... that sucks!
