Permanent residency is provided to the Indian women/ children if the spouse is a USA citizen or permanent residence. Govt of USA is very supportive to the victims of domestic Violence. Other than this, there are few visa categories that individuals undergoing domestic violence may be eligible for: Removal of Conditions on Permanent Residency Residency option for battered spouses of US citizens or permanent residents (VAWA Self Petition) U visa for victims of crimes (Applicable in crimes in the US) Trafficking visa for Spouses.
Extension of Visa of aggrieved Indian wife (as dependent) of overseas Indian spouse even after she is abandoned in India/ill-treated by spouse
Aggrieved Indian wife has the claim to the husband’s property in USA provided they are married for more than 3 years, with a child from the same marriage and wife is unable to work or earn livelihood due to physical/educational deficiency.
Payment of Maintenance for Indian wife by Overseas Indian spouse The USA courts pass order to provide maintenance to the spouse
The Govt of USA provides legal/financial unemployment benefits to the victims provided the husband is a USA citizen or permanent residence.
As any child that is born in USA is a citizen of USA. If parent take their child/children to India without notifying the other parent illegally the law and justice system takes a serious note about it. Accordingly judgment is delivered. The US State Department has 2 employees dedicated for South Asian cases of Abduction out of which one full time and a part time employee deal with Indian cases
Look out circular of Overseas Indians sent by GOI to foreign government Execution may be facilitated.
Legal assistance by foreign government to the aggrieved woman to file case against overseas Indian It is possible to seek the legal assistance from the foreign government provided the spouse is a USA citizen/permanent residence.
