RUSH: Here is this story. Let me just give you the headline: "Islam Based on Epileptic Prophecies, Says Book From Iran Native Neuropsychologist." The dateline is Canton, Ohio. "Religious prophet Mohammad suffered from epileptic seizures, according to a book recently released by a Tehran native and Muslim-raised neuropsychologist. Abbas Sadeghian delivers these findings in the book Sword & Seizure, which is based on historical text, including the Koran. Sadeghian was inspired by a comparable paper he presented in 2001 at New York University's Fielding Institute."
So he's inspired by himself.
"He says Mohammad had suffered from 'complex partial seizures,' which are displayed through 'excessive sweating and light trembling, olfactory, auditory and visual hallucinations, epigastric sensations," which is bad taste, it means things don't taste right, "excessive perspiration," that would be sweat for those of you in Rio Linda, "and hyper-religiosity." All of those things comprise symptoms of the kind of epilepsy that Mohammed had. "He says evidence of these is recounted throughout the Koran. When asked by a reporter from the Canton Repository if the same diagnosis could apply to Jesus, Buddha or other religious figures, Sadeghian replied there aren't nearly as many independent historical documents detailing their lives."
Now, this was posted on December 11th. It's December 14th. It's three days later, and I think this man is still alive. I have not seen any stories recounting his death.

Definition of Coenzyme
Coenzyme: A substance that enhances the action of an enzyme. (An enzyme is a protein that functions as a catalyst to mediate and speed a chemical reaction).
Coenzymes are small molecules. They cannot by themselves catalyze a reaction but they can help enzymes to do so. In technical terms, coenzymes are organic nonprotein molecules that bind with the protein molecule (apoenzyme) to form the active enzyme (holoenzyme).
A number of the water-soluble vitamins such as vitamins B1, B2 and B6 serve as coenzymes.

Scribkin's WordPress Plugins – Let Me Show You Them
A rare weekend post today, on a topic that most people probably will not find interesting and some people will find extremely awesome. I am speaking, of course, of the dozens of plugins, mods, and other bells & whistles that I have added to this blog over time.
Feel free to skip right over this post unless you love this sort of stuff.
Before I begin, I have to state that a good real life (RL) friend of mine, Rob, cautioned me against writing about blog twiddling as I was just starting out. He calls it macdinking. I have tried to take that advice to heart, either not mentioning changes or additions I have made at all or working them in to review posts.
But recently I have seen several of my blogging friends write articles about MoFuse, a service that takes your site RSS feed and makes it in to a mobile-enabled mini-site. I've been using this service for over a month on this site, and I realized I had overlooked the opportunity to voice my thoughts about it.
In essence, it's cool but I like the wp-mobile edition plugin slightly better. I am going to compare the two in an upcoming article.
What's Under the Hood?
I'm running WordPress 2.5.1 with a modified version of the Silver Light theme. In terms of UI tweaks, here are the essential ones:
- Changed the primary title and link color to #990000
- Added a custom logo
- Changed the default font from Verdana to Arial
- Changed the default body text back to Verdana
Ok, How About Plugins?
Oh boy, this will be a big list. I have probably installed and removed more WordPress plugins than I get visitors on a normal day. Here are the ones that have stuck. This list, of course, could be completely different tomorrow.
Plugin |
Version |
Description |
0.3 |

Anything Else?
Well, I use a bunch of widgets in my sidebar. Here's a list. These will change faster than my plugins, in all honesty.
- Text – Feedburner Subscription Widget
- Polls – Poll Widget
- RSS Feed – RSSmeme Top Shared Stories
- Adsense – Default Ad
- Archives
- Categories
- Text - Disqus Stats combined widget
- Text – Digsby chat widget

Are You Done Yet?
Maybe! Well ok, no. I've also customized some of my plugins so that they fit into the the theme better:
- The WP-print icon can be found in the upper-right-hand corner of each article
- The Odiogo listen now icon can be found under the timestamp of each article
- The CSS for my FeedBurner FeedFlares look more integrated
- The Add to Any button only appears on full articles, and under the FeedFlare
- The FriendFeed status text is more terse and avoids pluralization issues
- Added Jangro's trackback hack to the Disqus plugin
Yeah.. that's about it, I guess.
What About the Page Tabs?
Ohhh yeah, I have a lot of those. Let me break them down real quick.
- Home – This one is obvious.. takes you to the front page.
- About – About scribkin.
- Contributors – This is only me at the moment. I've taken the opportunity to modify the default page template to include the Profilactic Where to Find Me Online (WTFMO) module. And an obligatory flash Twitter widget.
- Polls Archive – self-explanatory.
- Lifestream – A tweaked version of the Profilactic plugin.
- Blogroll – A list of pages I find cool, generated by the Blogroll Page plugin.
- Promote – Right now mostly a placeholder that has an animated FeedBurner gif on it. Feel free to put it on your site! I won't complain, promise.
- Bookshelf – An embedded widget from Living Social that lists current books that I am interested in or reading. I really need to get this current.
- flipside – Used to just be a link to my tumblelog flipside.scribkin, but I found a great site that makes custom RSS widgets called widgetbox. I now have the 10 most recent entries showing in this widget.
Now Are We Done?

The Haiti Rebuilding Center run by Architecture for Humanity works on long-term reconstruction projects in Haiti and coordinates the work with professionals, educational institutions and other organizations. The Rebuilding Center is a one-stop shop for design and construction services, professional training, consumer awareness, professional referrals and construction bid opportunities. Our long-term reconstruction plan outlines how the Center will transfer to local Haitian ownership and operation within five years.
The Rebuilding Center hosts a monthly meet n greet to encourage dialogue between the building trades and cultivate partnerships towards the future of Haiti. To learn more on our work, visit the project pages linked below, follow our updates and Twitter @afh_haiti.
- Haiti School Initiative
The Haiti School Initiative is a grant-based program supporting the design and construction of 10 primary and secondary schools throughout Haiti. Designs emphasize hurricane and earthquake-resistant construction, localized passive cooling techniques and materials, participatory design and economic development. The initiative is largely supported by Students Rebuild, a program coordinating the philanthropic efforts of the world's youth. - Reconstruction of SMEs
The Rebuilding Center supports the long term recovery of small and medium enterprises by pursuing the reconstruction of economic corridors.
The program will influence the professional and private lives of 30,000 people and contribute to economic development of Haiti by helping, over the span of three years, more than 5,000 Haitians get back into work. - Bati Byen: "Building Back Better"
he Rebuilding Center offers technical assistance and training for building owners and construction professionals. - Design and Construction Services

The center door hinge was still attached to the refridgerator so I only had to install the bottom and top hinges. I also moved the door handles to the other side so the doors open the "right" way. The hinges were just 2 bolts and 3 screws. Now, just if the repair man from our home warrentee company would show up to fix the refridgerator. It's blowing hot air!!!

firstname.lastname@example.com boxes you get from Walmart and Target are great, but in my city they are on to us. A cashier ACTUALLY told me that I could not take the box. At Staples I usually buy enough stuff to fill the box and they let me take them.
I love your idea about keeping the bulletin board borders and paper the same all year. My classroom is color coded by subject area and the boards stay the same. It is SO much less clutter and less going out to buy borders for every little holiday.Thanks for always giving me so much inspiration!!
I gave you an award….check it out on my blog!!

THE ORANGE FOOD GROUP Online confession: I have just eaten most of a bag of organic cheez doodles. And so the fuck what about the "organic" part, especially when that word is immediately followed by "cheez doodles." Hooray, somewhat lower in fat; hooray, no genetically modified ingredients; hooray, organic corn, etc. But still. Cheez doodles. There's no honor in eating a bushel of cheez doodles, even faux-hippie cheez doodles. All the manuscripts I handle today will be stained orange, and my lips/mouth/tongue feel kind of tender and strange from the influx of salt and sharp corn edges. Oh, and of course while I was deep in a trance, reading work-related material and chomping on said organic cheez doodles, the primitive lizard part of my brain apparently decided that my own sock would be a fabulous place to wipe my dusty orange hand. Thus I get the Spaz Award, for that and for the following reason: Immediately after the Cheez-Sock Affair I tripped over nothing while carrying a full cup of hot tea and did a spectacular clumsy pirouette and near-total-wipeout, spilling scalding Earl Grey all over my boots and the hem of my skirt. So the entire lower quarter of my body is stained, sullied, and besmirched. CLEANUP ON AISLE ME! PROBE MY PYRAMID SHAFT This morning, after a very mysterious and severe coughing fit (Shoutout To My Lungs: I smoked NOTHING last night, you guys! What the fuck is your problem?), I checked my e-mail, including the e-mail from my Yahoo Exclamation Point account, which has been neglected for days now. Can I speak for a moment about how much I despise Yahoo Exclamation Point? Their mail program is a piece of shit. First of all, there's something wrong when you claim to have a "Spamguard" service but there are routinely many more pieces of spammy crap in my in-box than there are in my "bulk mail" folder. I'm not even sure why I even have a stupid Yahoo Exclamation Point account, except that, you know, sometimes a girl has to splash gasoline all over the headquarters of her former employer and throw a match, and then hop a freight train in the middle of the night, arriving at dawn in some strange city with a new name, a new dark evil purpose in life, and a new e-mail account. You understand, I'm sure. I think we left the point back there in the road somewhere, so let's throw this baby into reverse and go pick it up. Although Yahoo Exclamation Point is a very annoying entity, sometimes in the very early morning I appreciate its quick-and-dirty newslink AP headlines on the side of the page, just so I can see if any significant countries* blew up overnight. And sometimes these news headlines are unintentionally sexy and beautiful and wonderful and strange, such as: Robot Probes Pyramid Shaft, Finds Obstacle. (Here's the story, only with a less-sexy headline.) I mean really, only the word "finds" is dead weight there. Pyramid. Probes. Shaft. Obstacle. Robot. Mmmmm. Now I want to write some cyberpunk egyptologist slash fiction. (*You know, like Belgium. Or one of those weird Caribbean islands populated mostly by billionaires and drugged-out movie stars.) THANK YOU FOR WASTING MY TIME I had to go to a meeting today with a company bigwig (so different from the rest of us punywigs) who had to give some bad financial news and hand down some unpopular cost-saving edicts etc. And I was really getting tense and irritable during the meeting because of this man's rhetorical style, which was to seize on one colorful metaphor and return to it periodically. This particular bigwig was fond of saying "we're not out of the woods yet" and "we've got a flashlight, and we're trying to make a path out of the woods" and other woods-related imagery like that. The problem with colorful metaphors in public speaking is that, to my mind, the speakers never take the colorful metaphors far enough. Why not mention the wolves that no doubt lurk in the woods? Or the fact that the reason we are having trouble making it out of the woods is that we ate fifteen hits of acid and now we are much more interested in rolling around naked in leaf mulch and listening to the stories that trees tell? Why not talk about the member of our woods-traveling party who fell in the creek and now he won't stop bitching about his wet socks and boots and somebody seriously is going to smack him in the mouth unless he shapes up? What about the poison ivy in a rather, ahem, personal area? Or how we're stumbling around with our metaphorical flashlight, metaphorically trying to make it out of the metaphorical woods, and we stumble upon the metaphorical decomposing torso of an alcoholic drifter from Alabama? Man, they so should let me be a bigwig. I'd give good speeches, at least. And I've been practicing my sexual harassment skills too. ("Hey sweetheart, those are some real perky boobies you got there. How about getting us some coffee?") GIRL OVERBOARD I walked across the Michigan Avenue bridge today and noticed how strangely low the railing is, and how one could very easily just hop right over it and jump in the Chicago River. Now, I know that wouldn't be a good idea, and I don't have any particular urge to die by drowning, a broken neck at impact, and/or having my skin peel off from all the pollution. But I could jump over, and I wish the railing were higher so that would not be an option. Similarly, when I used to drive, I would think: How do I know that I won't just suddenly jerk the wheel to the left and go head-on into oncoming highway traffic? I don't think I want to do that, but how do I know that I won't have a strange momentary impulse and do it anyway? Hey, I do stupid shit all the time. Worrying that I might do that led to obsessive, repetitive thoughts that I would do that, sort of without my brain's consent if you will, and led to even less of a desire to drive. (You: Hey Mimi Smartypants, can I borrow a cup of crazy?) (Me: Sure thing. I've got plenty.) LINKS All I want for my birthday (which, granted, is not for a while yet) is artificial food. Artificial food, people. Artificial food would thrill the pants off me and leave me standing there in my unmentionables. It's so hard to decide, though! The cappuccino is pretty cool, but then there's the hot dog plate. Or you could just get a bunch of vegetables and adorn yourself with them like a Produce Goddess. Get your broccoli on, baby. Oh yeah. I like it all nutritious like that. (Except when I am busy eating cheez doodles, that is.) ---mimi smartypants reminds you that it's only funny until somebody loses an eye.

in the description, nudged us closer by throwing in "altogether ooky" for good measure. In a less conventional vein, I love the inchoate family that begins to coalesce in Kent haruf's novel Plainsong and the motley crew of dependents in Dr. Johnson's house. More on Johnson later.
For now let us praise not-so-famous men, and women too, in the persons of Maria and Pietro Botto. In 1908, after fifteen years of toil in the Paterson textile mills, the Bottos moved from West hoboken, new Jersey, purchased land in haledon, then a rural suburb on the trolley line, and built a concrete block-and-clapboard tenement house, occupying the ground floor and renting rooms at the top. They planted a grape arbor and, I assume, made wine. They had four daughters, all of whom married and set up housekeeping in separate apartments of the house. one of these daughters would apply for a job using an alias, fearful that the name Botto might nix her chances of employment. her fears were not unfounded.
In 1913 the Paterson textile workers went on strike, demanding an eight-hour day and safer working conditions. With a promise of protection from haledon's socialist mayor William Brueckmann, Maria and Pietro offered their house and its surrounding property as the site for a rally of more than twenty thousand striking workers, consisting of nine tightly knit ethnic groups, who assembled in their Sunday clothes to hear such IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) luminaries as Carlo Tresca, "Big" Bill haywood, and Elizabeth gurley Flynn address them from the upper story of the Bottos' front porch.
Once upon a time there were a daddy and a mommy named Pietro and Maria. They came from Italy, where Pietro used to paint the insides of churches. In America they built a house and planted a grapevine and had four brave and lovely daughters. One day they decided to have a picnic. "Let's invite twenty thousand of our friends!" said Maria. " Hooray!" said Pietro and clapped his hands. Then they sang a song they loved called "The Internationale."

Hot answers tagged carousel
Almost all of the testing I've managed has proven that content delivered via carousels are missed by most users. Few interact with them and many comment that they look like adverts — we've witnessed the banner blindness concept in full effect.
In terms of space saving and content promotion, a lot of competing messages get delivered in a single position that ...
Carousels are effective at being able to tell people in marketing/senior management that their latest idea is now on the home page.
They are next to useless for users and often "skipped" because they look like advertisements. Hence they are a good technique for getting useless information on a home page (see first sentence of this post).
In summary, use ...
In all the testing I have done, home page carousels are completely ineffective.
For one, anything beyond the initial view has a huge decrease in visitor interaction. And two, the chances that the information being displayed in the carousel matches what the visitor is looking for is slim. So in that case the carousel becomes a very large banner that gets ...
As a user I find carousels faintly annoying:
Most have usability fail which I fall into the categories described in this article:
5 Big Usability Mistakes Designers Make on Carousels
No ability to bookmark a particular item on the carousel, for example take a look at the BBC News photo carousel they use: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14619799 ...
I do not use or suggest the use of carousels. The changing of images can distract users when they read text on the page.
You might find some interesting information at http://digitaleskimo.tumblr.com/post/752912498/image-carousel-appropriateness
http://blinkux.com/insights/newsletter/usability-highlights-2008/ does not dispute the use or causeless, but ...
Some research into Carousels usage on University of Notre Dame website has some interesting findings:
Approximately 1% of visitors click on a feature. There was a total of 28,928 clicks on features for this time period. The feature was manually "switched/rotated" a total of 315,665 times. Of these clicks, 84% were on stories in position 1 with the rest ...
I added event tracking to the carousel navigation elements on our public site.
Those that navigated the carousel overwhelmingly used the main side arrows.
less than 10% used the bottom secondary navigation arrows. And practically no one <.5% clicked the dots.
Dots may have some purpose of indicating how many slides (does that matter to people?) but ...
Whether you use a particular html feature or jquery widget or whatever really depends more on what problem you are trying to solve.
Identify the problems to be solved, then design solutions to those problems. Don't just grab solutions as seen elsewhere and then just use them.
Regarding sliders (aka carousels) ...
Use when your problem is:
you have a ...
We have built these for clients in the past with the main driving force being SEO. (Carousel images with text / links overlayed). They are a way to cram a lot of content onto the main homepage without looking like you are 'gaming' the search engines or keyword stuffing.
We do try to make them as efficient and usable as possible, but they are requested by ...
I was going to make this a comment but actually I think this is an answer.
Pause on hover doesn't work for mobile - and web pages should be designed to work on mobile devices, so yes a pause button or mechanism is necessary that doesn't depend on hover.
I cannot stress enough the importance of considering the mobile experience when designing for the web. ...
I find that dots are useful for showing progress, but they're way to small click targets to be usable for navigation. They're probably best suited for mobile applications like the iPhone home screen where a swipe is the means of changing slides:
If you do decide to build a carousel, make your nav buttons BIG. Allow keyboard navigation for desktop users ...
There is one big upside to auto-scroll that you missed: Visitors may not be captured by what you consider the main feature items. Moving through a varied selection of samples may help broaden your reach and tame your bounce rate a bit.
It's a site by site, page by page decision. If there isn't too much to take in on the page and the carousel is the primary ...
I think carousels can be effective as long as they give control to the user. That is, they can skip ahead, direct the flow, know where they are in the carousel, and turn off an auto-play function.
Here is more on this idea:
Depends on the goal. What are you trying to accomplish exactly? In the lobby the expectation (I assume) is that your employees breeze by while visitors grab a seat and wait for their appointments. If so, then there are a couple of questions to ask:
Do visitors already know about your company/organization?
If not, what information do you want to relay that ...
I don't have a definitive answer to your question, but there are two things to keep in mind: user control of the carousel's rotation and mobile-specific gotchas.
User Control
The Web Content Accessibility Guidlines (WCAG 2.0) are quite clear: users must have control over timed content:
For any auto-updating information that (1) starts automatically and ...
No, it's the other way around. As your having a carousel, there is a timing issue to address. The carousel switches images and users have to quickly click on the banner to get to the offer currently visible, before it swiches again.
According to Fitts's Law, illustrated above, the time it takes a user to click an area is a function of distance and target ...
You could replace the arrows with a simple swipe control, implemented via JS. You could hint that more pages are available by providing 'peeks' of the two extra pages outside the viewport (so it appears the far edges of the previous and next images are just within sight).
The big advantage of the swipe control is that it gives the user a large touch area to ...
Horizontal accordions have one advantage over carousels in that they do provide a complete overview of available content, whereas carousels by design only hint at additional content. Accordions provide overarching structure, carousels focus on item level details.
If your content has a meta-structure and is not simply a collection of items then use a ...
Q: How many images must be in a carousel so that the user can see all of it?
In an interesting blog post about carousel interaction stats, Eric Runyon collected data on carousel interactions for various ND.edu web pages.
What he found is that effectively users only interact with the first item in the carousel:
A concise analysis of this data:
Having a link or button is always a good idea, because users know how they work. If you make the whole box clickable, some users might not be able to discover it.
You should link the image as well.
You might have an issue with smaller targets, such as links and buttons, if the carousel rotation is triggered by a timer, and you do not pause the rotation on ...
If UI space is your issue, why not take inspiration from Jelly Bean's own minimal, and familiar, carousel indicator?
According the opinion that carousels are evil and one should not use them, regardless of what the customer thinks, the conclusion is: "Longer is better".
The ideal time is "infinity" (i.e. don't use carousel). If you are forced to use some finite time, then make is as longer as possible without getting fired.
Its going to be hard to represent a suitable solution unless we get an idea about the type of content you are going to show with the image since the size of the content could decide how much screen space could be shown.
I am not a fan of using a carousal since its a one time view for a single image at one point and does not provide equal value to all ...
Perhaps it's worth coming at this from the other angle. You might ask yourself two questions to help answer this problem.
The first is: do those links reduce usability in any way? From a usability perspective, they're entirely discoverable given that the primary purpose of the dots are to afford the carousel mechanism itself. Given that, I can't think of a ...
Most people seem to agree on the common sense of a maximum around 5 images, but agree that less is better where possible.
Jakob Neilsen suggests 5 because:
it's unlikely users will engage with more than that. It can be taxing to swipe through many frames on a mobile device, and it's difficult for users to recognize topics they have already viewed when a ...
It isn't redundant. It's a function people already use on a regular basis. Don't over-think it. People are used to slide to the right, and people are used to see bullets on how far they have progressed. If you truly think it's redundant, than I would ditch the carousel, since I believe it's better suited for navigating to different destinations in your app ...
In television production, standard "hold" time for on-screen copy is 2x reading speed. In other words, if you have a block of copy on the screen, it should stay on the screen long enough to quickly read it through twice. This is to allow time for orientation, focusing on the text and slow readers.
That being said, a web page is much different than a ...
An important factor to consider is the audience of the application (or website). It seems that typically, many younger audiences (or those familiar with touch devices) are used to swiping across carousels.

The card is one of the rarest, with only about 50 copies known to exist. It was produced by the American Tobacco Co. without Wagner's permission, and he made the company recall the card because he was afraid it would encourage children to smoke.
Goldin Auctions of West Berlin, N.J., said bidding began Feb. 25 at $500,000, CNN reported Saturday. The final bid was just over $2.1 million.
The card has a special plaque in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., where it is described as the "Holy Grail" for collectors.

SOPHIENBURG MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES. The Sophienburg Museum and Archives is located in New Braunfels on the historic site where Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels established the headquarters of the Adelsverein in 1845. The verein, otherwise known as the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas, was established to form a German colony in Texas. Prince Carl was to establish a colony on the Fisher-Miller land grant. Because of the Comanche Indian threat and the distance from headquarters to the Fisher-Miller grant he chose instead, however, to purchase a temporary site on the Comal River-1,265 acres, which he acquired for $1,111. The verein went bankrupt in 1847, and the headquarters fell into disuse. In 1926 a group of interested citizens purchased the historic site and in 1933 incorporated themselves as a memorial association chartered by the state of Texas. Artifacts soon filled the small museum, which was also used as a library for the city. A separate library building was opened in 1938 and used until 1969, when a new library was built by the city and the old library reverted to the museum and became the archives. The museum and archives is a nonprofit organization supported by admission fees, donations, trust funds, and city funds from the hotel-motel tax. The museum and archives is governed by a nine-member board of trustees serving no more than two three-year terms and has a hired director. Museum exhibits are planned by the director and a volunteer exhibit chairman. The archives houses copies of Prince Carl's correspondence with the Adelsverein. County and city government papers are housed in the archives as well, along with a collection of some 300,000 photographic negatives available for research. The Sophienburg is a member of the Texas Association of Museums and the American Association for State and Local History.

A discontinuous Galerkin finite element model for river bed evolution under shallow flows
Tassi, P.A. and Rhebergen, S. and Vionnet, C.A. and Bokhove, O. (2008) A discontinuous Galerkin finite element model for river bed evolution under shallow flows. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 197 (33-40). pp. 2930-2947. ISSN 0045-7825
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 1MB |
Abstract: | The accurate representation of morphodynamic processes and the ability to propagate changes in the riverbed over a wide range of space and time scales make the design and implementation of appropriate numerical schemes challenging. In particular, requirements of accuracy and stability for medium and long term simulations are difficult to meet. In this work, the derivation, design, and implementation of a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) for sediment transport and bed evolution equations are presented. Numerical morphodynamic models involve a coupling between a hydrodynamic flow solver which acts as a driving force and a bed evolution model which accounts for sediment flux and bathymetry changes. A space DGFEM is presented based on an extended approach for systems of partial differential equations with nonconservative products, in combination with two intertwined Runge-Kutta time stepping schemes for the fast hydrodynamic and slow morphodynamic components. The resulting numerical scheme is verified by comparing simulations against (semi--)analytical solutions. These include the evolution of an initially symmetric, isolated bedform; the formation and propagation of a step in a straight channel due to a sudden overload of sediment discharge; the propagation of a travelling diffusive sediment wave in a straight channel; and, the evolution of an initially flat bed in a channel with a contraction. Finally, a comparison is made between numerical model and field data of a trench excavated in the main channel of the Parana river
near Parana City, Argentina. |

Violence Against Women Act: Visas for Battered Spouses
U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents (LPRs, or "green card" holders) typically file an immigrant visa petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on behalf of a spouse or child in order for them to obtain legal status. Unfortunately, some U.S. citizens and green card holders misuse their control of this process to abuse their family members, or by threatening to report them to the USCIS. As a result, most battered immigrants are afraid to report the abuse to the police or other authorities.
Spouses and children of U.S. citizens or LPRs, as well as the parents of under-21 children who were abused by a U.S. citizen or LPR, may self-petition to obtain a green card under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Parents abused by their U.S. citizen son or daughter also qualify for VAWA protection. The immigration provisions of VAWA allow certain battered immigrants to file for immigration relief without the abuser's assistance or knowledge, in order to seek safety and independence from the abuser.
Who is Eligible for VAWA Protection?
To be eligible to file a self-petition (an application that you file for yourself for immigration benefits), you must qualify under one of the following categories:
- Spouse: You may self-petition if you are a battered spouse married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. Unmarried children under the age of 21, who have not filed their own self-petition, may be included on your petition as derivative beneficiaries.
- Parent: You may self-petition if you are the parent of a child who has been abused by your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, or if you were abused by your U.S. citizen son or daughter. Your children (under 21 years of age and unmarried), including those who may not have been abused, may be included on your petition as derivative beneficiaries, if they have not filed their own
- Child: You may self-petition if you are a battered child (under 21 years of age and unmarried) who has been abused by your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident parent. Your children (under 21 years of age and unmarried), including those who may not have been abused, may be included on your petition as derivative beneficiaries
Spouse: Basic Requirements
- Must be legally married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident abuser. A self-petition may be filed if the marriage was terminated (by divorce or the abusive spouse's death) within the two years prior to filing. A self-petition may also be filed if the marriage was not legitimate because of the bigamy of the abusive spouse.
- Must have been battered in the United States unless the abusive spouse is an employee of the United States government or a member of the uniformed services of the United States.
- Considered a person of good moral character.
- Must have entered into the marriage in good faith, not solely for the purpose of obtaining immigration benefits.
- Have resided with the abusive spouse
Child: Basic Requirements
- Must qualify as the child of the abuser as "child" is defined under immigration law (under 21 years old and unmarried).
- Were the child of an LPR or U.S. resident abuser who lost legal status as a result of domestic violence.
- Have been abused in the U.S. or, if parent was a U.S. government employee, were abused while abroad.
- Have resided with the abusive parent.
- Must provide evidence of good moral character if over the age of 14.
Parent: Basic Requirements
- Must have been the parent of a son or daughter who is a U.S. citizen (or who lost or renounced their U.S. citizenship status related to domestic violence, or died, within two years prior to filing).
- Have been abused by a U.S. citizen son or daughter.
- Have resided with the abusive son or daughter.
- Must provide evidence of good moral character.
Applying for Benefits
To self-petition, you must complete and file USCIS Form I-360 (Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant) and include all supporting documentation. Self-petitions are filed with the Vermont Service Center and should be sent by certified return receipt mail (or any other method providing assurance of receipt). Sending the Form I-360 to any other USCIS office will delay your application. You should keep a copy of everything you submit, including the application and all accompanying documents, in addition to the proof of mailing.
If you meet the filing requirements for a VAWA-based visa and green card, you will receive an official notice that may be presented to government agencies providing public benefits to domestic violence victims.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can a man file a self-petition under the Violence Against Women Act?
A. Although the self-petitioning provisions for victims of domestic violence are contained in the Violence Against Women Act, they apply equally to victims of either sex.
Q. Must the self-petitioner remain married to the abusive spouse until the self-petition is approved?
A. The regulations only require that the self-petitioning spouse be married at the time of filing. After the self-petition has been filed, legal termination of the marriage will not usually affect the self-petition, but you may want to seek advice from an immigration attorney or legal advocate. Changes in the law allow for the marriage to have been terminated within two years prior to the date of filing (with some restrictions).
Q. Can a divorced spouse seek relief through self-petitioning?
A. Sometimes (with some restrictions), if the marriage was terminated within two years prior to the date of filing. A battered spouse who does not meet these restrictions may be eligible for cancellation of removal. To qualify, he/she must meet the other requirements that would be necessary for approval of a self-petition and must have been physically present in the U.S. for three years immediately preceding the filing of the application for cancellation of removal.
A self-petition will also be denied if the self-petitioner re-marries before filing or after filing and before the self-petition is approved. Remarriage after the self-petition has been approved will not affect the validity of the approved I-360 self-petition.
Q. What if the abusive US citizen/LPR did file a Form I-130 petition on behalf of the battered spouse which is either still pending or was withdrawn?
A. A self-petitioner who is the beneficiary of a Form I-130 petition filed by the abusive spouse will be able to transfer the priority date of the Form I-130 petition to the I-360 self-petition. This is extremely important for self-petitioners who must wait for a visa number as an earlier priority date will result in a shorter waiting time.
More Information
If you or a family member are the victim of domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) for legal advice and information about shelters, immigration status and related matters.
See "Battered Spouse, Children & Parents" on the USCIS website for more detailed information about VAWA protections for abused family members.
