Q: Do VAWA self-petitioners need to apply for a US Waiver if they entered the US illegally?

A: Violence Against Women Act self-petitioners, and their children, do not need to apply for a US Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility if the reason they are inadmissible is the fact they entered the US illegally and were present in the country without admission. They are also eligible for adjustment of status, regardless of the fact they entered the US unlawfully.
