    Do you have conditional residence (2 year card) or regular residence (10 year card)? If you have a CR, you can remove the conditions and get a regular card by filing the RC with a "good faith marriage" waiver.

    If you have a 10 year card, you are a PR, but you must wait the 5 years to be eligible for natz.

    If you haven't gotten your PR, you need to see is your abuse qualifies under VAWA.
