where to go?

As far as I know (read from the internet ) your kid will not be sent to foster care and you will not be deported to India as you didn't do anything wrong and there is no immigration case against you.

 

You can yourself search the net for these answers or consult any1 having good knowledge about these issues.
But don't bear the abuse just because a child is involved.
Also talk to your parents again about your hubby's cruelty and tell them your life is at stake. I don't think any parents are that insensitive. they will help you out.
You are the child's mother and have more authority than his abusive father.

 

OP - please seek help immediately if you or your child are in imminent danger. If the abuse is more of the verbal kind, you can gather evidence by recording the events in a journal or even on a recording device. Follow the advice given be earlier posters and contact the organizations listed. You are entitled to an equal share of marital assets and your husband's earnings and you may need to seek legal counsel to guide you through this process.

Remember, no relationship is worth saving if there is no mutual love and respect for one another. Don't stay in an abusive relationship a minute longer. You have an entire life and a whole world out ahead of you!

Good luck! I hope you will choose well.

 

At a very highlevel of my understanding, OP can file an immigration petition asylum on the basis of domestic violence. A quick google search has resulted me with some proofs: Immigration Judge Decisions/Briefs & Affidavits

OP, approach the organizations referred by Gauri above. If you are not confident, try to communicated with one of the high level IL moderators, they may work on behalf of you with such organization without you having an evidence to your spouse. If the IL moderator and the social services organization finds you need full support, the things would get real and you may eventually get an asylum based immigration petition filed so that you and your kid could be in US while the issue is running. But be sure that you need some financial support as well, if you step forward to start the legal fight. Going to India should be the WORST possible option for you(as you cant take your kid along with you). US legal system cant tolerate the abuse for sure...

 

Admitting that I am not so much knowledged about the legal side of this, I do believe that OP can explore the asylum avenue by showing her helpless situation back home in India if she happen to return due to the abusive relationship in US(even by a non-immigrant H1 spouse). Also OP can explore the possible abuse of her kid if she leaves the kid in US as a part of husband custody. If court believes that the kid's safety is going to be in trouble, they may at least grant a temporary permanent residence(GC), given that OP can financially support herself and the kid(with the spouse's child support money). OR at least she can prove that she could take better care than the OP's spouse for the kid.
We are talking out of blue.. a professional lawyer(with heart to help the helpless), could be the right one to make the final comments..

 

I would recommend this:

For few days do as he asks you to do.
keep a video camera or webcam ready so that you can record all teh abuses..
once you record..DONOT tell him that your recorded..then he will torture you more and possibly delete the video.
take backups of the recorded video and load it to youtube or something private account so that it cannot be deleted.
aprraoch the organiations with this evidence.
Also take picstures of any physical abuse.

at this point with so much evidence there is nothing he can do.
but be smart , derive strength and do wht is right for your safety and child's safety.

 

OP, after getting my H4 visa, I got a detailed mail from DH's company, in which H4 holders were told that even though H4 is done by our husbands, H1B is done by the the company, and not an individual. So in case of any abuse or visa related deceptions, we can take help from the company's HR. So, if you know your husband's HR manager or even senior manager, or have access to company's mail ID you can take their help. I'm not sure if it applies to all companies or not, though.

 

follow & speak to Gauri, ending marriage is a solution only, getting seprated , will not cost anything and he can't do anythiing , since child is small you will get protection , but don't leave country or escape from the house without letting offcialal sepration
